Capitol kcenIy Interested In
Miss Taft's Engagement.

OF all the interesting engagements
which have cropped up lately the
most important would seem to be the
engagement of Miss Helen Taft and
Frederick Johnson Manning. News OF
this leaked out several weeks ago
when Miss Taft was touring the
country in behalf OF the Bryn Mawr
endowment fund, which was promptly
denied, and was, formally announced
last week by former President and
Mrs Taft--a course OF action whtch
led one ribald person to remark that
the Taft's had evidently profited by
their White House training. The
