the beautiful Cathedral of SIS. Peter

and has made some excellent ad-
dresses. as has Bishop Harding and
other prelates from the United States.
/ But the size of Bishop Rhinelander' S
diocese has made a deep impression
on the London people, and that it is
larger than the whole of France is a
! circumstance which causes awe.

| bishop and Mrs. Randall Davidson,
who have given many delightful So
clal functions for the visitors, were
the guests of President and Mrs. Taft
in the summer of 1909 and were feted
quite elaborately at the White House.
They were simple and democratic in
manner and there was much merri-
ment that Mr.. Taft having asked his
grace to pass a morning with him on
the links, suffered defeat at the hands
OF the prelate with a rather humil-
latlng score against him.
An interesting colony of women COM
united to strenuous labor for the sue
cess OF the republican ticket is gathered
IN tnat delightful stretch on Long Island
sound which is called "Bayberry Land I"
This group acknowledges the leader
snip of Mrs. Douglas Robinson, sister
OF the late President Roosevelt, who
mas attained more than local fame for
her exquisite sonnets and other
poems. Her able coadjutor is well
known in Washington. though under
the maiden name Polly Morton rather
than her present dignified cognomen,
Mrs Charles H. Sabin.
Miss Pauline Morton was one of the
attractive young maids in the Roose-
welt administration when her father
was member of the cabinet and was
close associate of Miss Ethel Roose-
welt, Miss Helen Taft and Miss Julia
and Miss AlyS Meyer, all of whom
write themselves differently now. Her
marriage to Mr.. Sabin is her second
venture, and in this she has out
stripped her chums.
OF recent years, Mrs. Paul Morton
has resided in the Shinnecock woods
IN the summer to be near both her
daughters. Mrs. William C. Potter, as
well as Mrs. Sabin. Recently she has
purchased the splendid Foster home
stead in Main street and one of the
most delightful places in "Bayberry
Land" Mrs. Sabin is adjacent and
near by are the homes of Mrs. Mary
Hatch. Mrs. Alice Mckay Kelly, who
with Mrs. Robinson and Mrs Sabin,
affected the mobilization of the corps
OF republican women who made a
dominant faction in Chicago
They were all heartily committed to
Gen. Wood. but they are nevertheless
already active in maturing their plans
IN Dehalf OF Senator Harding. Mrs.
SaDln has taken quite an active in
terest in politics, and. with Mr.. Sabin,
has been advocating civic reform in
the ,environs of her home. She is an
excellent public speaker, witty and
ready, and. according to many who
nave heard her, shows many of the
qualities of her grandfather, Sterling
Morton Morton ". who was Secretary of Agri-
culture IN the second Cleveland cab
met. Mrs. Potter. who was frequent
guest of the Paul Mortons and whose
lovely babes were quite famous among
the youngsters of their generation,
has passed through thrilling expert
ences since those happy days.
Mr.. Potter was one of the enei-
neers caught in the maelstrom of the
first Mexican revolution, when he fed
with his family just in time to save
their lives, though at the loss of his
entire fortune. The two little girls
are young misses now and win soon
be presented to society in the New
York home of their parents. Mrs.
Paul Morton never returned to her
old home in Chicago after her hus-
bands death, but leads rather no
madic existence in winter. being con-
tent to travel then and to gather all
her children and grandchildren about
her in summer.
This summer marks the first divisi-

the cordial praise for the scrupulous
way in which the text records every

Calvary.

the dramatic sense. but a faithful,
