NEW; MISTRESS OF WHITE HOUSE
WOMAN OF MANY GOOD QUALITIES
RS.VV. H. TAFT'S
"Wife of President-Elect De-
scribed as Cultured and
Eefined.
- No woman wai ever called upon to
'till the difficult and exacting position
of mistress of the White House who
was better! prepared and equipped for
her task than is Mrs. Helen H. Tart, the
wife of resident-elect Taft. She Is a
woman of culture and refinement and of
many accomplishments,, possesses un
usual tact social finish and. above all,
a 'large measure of sound, common
sense.. For a number of years she has
lived in Washington as one of the most
distinguished women of the official clr
cies and the training which she received
during that time will undoubtedly prove
of great value to her as mistress of the
' wane ouse.
Tery Attractive.
Personally. Mrs. Taft Is Quite as at
tractive as she la from an intellectual
point of view. She Is fair, slender and
girlish looking and; no one would sus
pect from her appearance-that she has
' a son old enough to be In college. She
is frank and vivacious, unpretentious,
and yet possessed of raarketf dignity of
bearing d the self-poise so necessary
to a woman in her exalted position. Sho
' is always cordial, a rare accomplish
' ment among society women, and . pos
sesses an excellent memory for persons
and names, an invaluable gift for. the
' wife of a political leader.
The new mistress of the White House
was Miss Helen Herron, daughter of
the law partner of the late President
Haves, when she married William H.
Taft in Cincinnati In 1886. She wa a
bright and talented girl with a passion
' for music. 'In addition to a good educa-
tlon, she received an excellent training
In music and through all her life music
has ever been her favorite wcreation.
She Is not only an accomplished pianist,
but possesses.a thorough knowledge of
the theory of music and an extensive ac
quaintance with the best works of mu
sical literature.
Hsr Flaoe In Society.
' ' Although, probably, better equipped
for a -high social position than most
women holding Important positions in
. . American ocleJy, .Mrs: Taft .is by no
means a typical "society woman." Ever
tfince her husband entered official life
irt Washington and even before that,
twhen he was still holding a Judgeship
MOh!o, Mrs. Tart has made it her study
and aim to fill to the best of her abil
""ity the position Id society Ho which she
'was entitled by virtue of her husband's
official rank. Her natural talent and
the Intellectual tralnWg of her girlhood
days made the task easier for her and
. her inborn tact helped her to avoid the
pitfalls so disastrous to inexperienced
and but Indifferently equipped women
In official society . ' ' ,
' Nowhere is the new mistress of the
White House seen to greater advantage
'than In, her home circle, the supreme
test . for the sterling qualities of any
woman, no matter, what her position in
society. She is devoted to her husband
and her children, takes Intefest in every
' thins pertaining to hep domestio estab
lishment and Is considered a model
housekeeper. She does hot consider It
' below her dignity to attend to her house
hold duties and devotes great personal
care to the proper conduct of her do
mestic" establishment. No woman in
- Washington society ever knew better
than Mrs. Tart how to add a wholesome
end refreshing domestic charm to.her so
ial entertainments. No matter how
formal the function may be, Mrs. Taft
as the hostess makes all her guests feel
that they are received at her home, not
In a hotel parlor or a public hall. She
' knows hetter than mest women the se
cret of making her guests feel at ease,
without vulgarizing the tone dominant
of her hospitable board. .
Accomplished atuslclaa.
i: Of her family and her own affairs
Mrs. Taft speaks with well-bred discre
tion and sparingly, while she shows re
markable skill and tact in drawing out
her visitors by manifesting sympathetic
Interest in their ntfalrs. Her home,
wherever she may be, is always filled
with 1 that Intangible charm which
rrln-i from the intellectuality; reflne-
; ment and exquisite artistic taste of the
'hostess. Mrs. Taft, like her daughter
Helen, now studying at Byrn Mawr, is
an Episcopalian, but she is broad minded
enough not to allow religious differ
ences of a serious nature to arise be-
tween her and her husband, who belongs
to the Unitarian church, although he
- frequently attends services at the Epis
copal church with his wife.

Mrs. W. H. Taft, Who W1J1 Be Mistress of the White House.
THINKS ORIENT
POOR MARKET
Tacoma Editor Says Asiatics
Eventually Will Be the
Only Competitors.
.. - t .
Frank B. Cole, editor of the West
Coast Lumberman of Tapoma, who re
cently returned from a trip to the ori
ent, upon his return delivered a lecture
before the Tacoma chamber of com
merce, in which ne dealt extensively
with the possibilities of the develop
ment of American trade lh China and
Japan, Mr! Cole also told many inter
esting facts concerning, the customs of
the Chinese and kindred races and made
valuable observations as to the com
mercial development in the Hawaiian
islands.
In part. Mr. Cole said:
"A traveler usually forms quick con
clusions. This seems to. be an almost
universal weakness of those who visit
strange lands. Doubtless many travel
ers wish they had seen more and talked
less. A well known Indiana senator no
doubt would be happy if he had writ
ten of Russia's advance after. Instead
of before, the war. As I will probably
De aeaa ana my wire married again De
fore my statements can be disproved.
I feel safe in expressing an opinion and
even venturing into prophecy. 1 am
satisfied that the orient, in so far as we
or our children are interested, will be
more of a competttor than a customer.
Beyond that period, let some unborn
merhber of the chamber of commerce
prophesy.
"China and Japan are the two nations
that, in the popular concept, are to be
great customers of ours, and that many
ships will be going to and fro freighted
with our productions. From all I could
learn and see, these hopes and dreams
are not well founded. On the ship I
sailed to, China on, about 3,000 tuns of
freight were carried to Japan and
l nina, hut on her return voyage she
Drougnt tacK about ll.ooo tons. This
was an exceptionally lurge returning
load, but light cargoes to tile orient are
ljo unusual occurrence.
ITatives So Wot Buy.
"The natives of thos lands are not
customers to any great extent of the
productions or our country. It t? the
Europeans and the Americans living in
those lands who demand tho eoods n
manufacture. Some dny the lone her
alded awakrnlng of the orient mav
eome, hut with the awakenine will also
come the skill to cater to new-burn
needs.
"Eery ship that comes from the ori
ent brings to this country feed manu
factured in the few flour mlll.s In the
orient. There Is practically no demand
for it In that country, as tattle and
horses are seldom seen. In Shanghai a
great flouring mill stands idle. It was
built at cost of J100. 000. Its promoter
committed suicide because of his fut
ure to make this plant a success.
".Manchuria' wheat fields this vear
are giving an output of 40,000,flOo biish
eis, while there will be an increase in
Its acreage for next year and then the
next year. It .is only a question of a
few years when the flour of Puget vund
will not be wanted on the other side.
There is a great boycott on in China
against the Jananese. hut
j atfainst our own country seems to have
'run"s course. So acute is the feeling
against anything Japanese that even
higli C'litnese offirials have difficulty
at times In securing the delivery of
mail to whirh Japanese stamps are af
fixed. 'While I was In Hongkong a mer
chant was lined 13.000 for bringing In
Japanese goods, and he paid the fine
rather than suffer the loss of business
that would follow his failure to oby the
order -of his fellow craftsmen. Yester
day the daily press told of .attacks on
merchants In Hongkong and the looting
u iiitir mki'ks nereiusi uiey were car
rying Japanese goods.
Missionaries Are Unpopular. .
'lt IS hard tO find ncorwl wnnl ennlt..
hy Europeans or Americans for the
missionaries. The. missionaries know
ims antagonistic, spntiment, but accept
it as one of the features of their work
In talking with many not interested in
missionary work, one will find the same
general criticism of them ami-thai lu.
Kir. jraii mucn or tnis is tinnier
evident, out rrom th standpoint of re
sults apparent to the ordinary business
man and traveler, the work of the nt
century does not seemr to have been a
success, a am repealing what I heard
frequently. In some- cases there exist
ed positive antipathy to the' missionary
Missionaries, usually have their flnnnnt
salaries -inoreafted rW9 for each child
born in a family.- What the I actual pa.
suits of monetary , encouragement of
multiplication is, I cannot sav, but it
is allea-ed in: the orient (hut rM. on.n
tation is more than the ordinary mi sj
t-Minary can rcjist, i is even aMSerted
that in cae rflie family tree susoends
fruitage, recourse is sometimes had to
adoption for revenue only.
"All China is now open to missiona
ries. The Chinaman would be very glad
to see his country not only free of them,
but free of all white faces. He wants
his own country to himself. He, in the
vast majority, has no sympathy with
the Christian religion.
"Evepywhere one travels in the orient,
he runs across the exile the man who
looks backward., to Europe or America.
His one dream is that he will get back
some day. Many of them are employes
of large companies, and they count each
day off as one less, separating them
from a visit back to what they still
call home.

much about Doan's Kidney Pills that i
was Induced to try them, procured a
