GOLD LACE HAS GREAT HEYDAY
Presidential Affairs Made Gay
Through Presence of Land and
Sea Fighters of Nation.
Washington correondenee :
When Mrs. Taft, in her official role
as first lady of the land, surrounded
herself with a coterie of the cleverest
and brightest officers of tho twin
branches of the service, everybody In
Washington society recognized that
the era of the army and navy set had
arrived. In brave array the military
men form a moving background at
Mrs. Taft's at homes, and in their im
maculate dress the officers of the land
and sea forces ure a splendid attribute
at Mrs. Taft's fascinating garden par
ties. At the White House entertainments
scarcely has the line of guests passed
until Mrs. Taft Is surrounded by a
group of officers and their wives,
daughters and sweethearts, whose
persiflage and laughter Instantly dis
sipate any Indication of an oppressive
or a "military" perfunctorlness.
Replacing Col. Bromwell, who with
Mrs. Bromwell were dominant factors
In tho social life of the capital in the
last administration, is Col. Spencer
Cosby, whose career has been marked
with distinction. Col. Cosby is the
first' of the administration bachelors
to announce his engagement, and in
the fall Miss Yvonne Shepard, daugh
ter of Mr3. Charles R. Shepard of
New York and Washington, will fall
heir to the position vacated by the
withdrawal of Mrs. Bromwell.
Miss Shepard Is tall and svelte, her
well-carried head Is graced with quan
tities of silky, fair-brown hair, and
her pretty complexion is set off by the
taste Miss Shepard displays In the se
lection of the color of her gowns. She
wears large hats, flower trimmed, and
long, sweeping gowns, which accen
tuate the graceful slenderness of her
figure.
As the wife of the President's aid
and constant attendant. Miss Shepard
will be thrown constantly in associa
tion with the White House family,
and her adroitness and social graces
will be put to a severe test In the
carrying of a role not less Influential
than difficult.
Oon. ItPira AVIfe a Power.
As wife of the chief of staff, Mrs.
J. Franklin Dell will have a high
position In the full tide of the official
season.
Not content with Btandlng at 'the
head of the serried ranks of army
riom, Mrs. Refl Is no less popular with
the diplomatic as well as the con
gressional and president set. As a
gr.-nt friend of Mrs. Edson Bradley
of N'ew York, she Is in touch with the
smart life of tho little coterie of the
rich and Important who come to
Washington each winter to enjoy Its
season.
Gen. and Mrs. Bell last winter took
possession of a commodious home at
Fort Myer and there throughout the
senson Mrs. Bell challenged the ad
miration of society by the conduct of
n series of delightful entertainments,
her guets Including the grizzled vet
erans who surround the chief of staff,
the young officers eager for an oppor
tunity to display their mettle, the
debutantes, the foreign "guests" of the
nation and the general everyday-man
and woman who goes in for Washing
ton's social good times.
Associated with Mrs. Bel' In the so
cial life of the army set Is Mrs. Woth
orspnon. the attractive v.77o of Gen.
Boll's flrs-t assistant. Mrs. Bell's sis
ter, Mrs. Ernest Garllngton, wife of

displays in sue!) a marked degree.

ant role to carry. Miss Sally is a
dancer who has won acclaim at the
amateur dramatic productions which
have been features of Washington's
smart life for the la3t few years, while
her skill as a horsewoman gives her a
forward place in the gay little com
pany of "paperchasers" who gallop
over the hills two or three times a
week.
Mrs. Aleshire, wife of Gen. Aleshlre,
Is one of the army matrons whose wit
and poise count in the 'proper equip
ment of an army officer's wife. She is
large and nice-looking, noticeable
chiefly for the Bweetness of her ex
pression and her general air of ex
treme good breeding. She Is the moth
er of a debutante daughter, who has
the distinction of being one of Miss
Helen Taft's best chums.

One of the handsome homes of the
army set established In Washington
is presided over by Mrs. Clarence Ed
wards, wife of Gen. Clarence Edward3,
chum to the President and general
good fellow. Gen. Edwards, who is
one of the most generally liked officers
of the service, has bis honors to look
to when It conies to a discussion of his
wife's popularity. Everybody likes
Mrs. Edwards and her place In the fa
vor of the community waxes as the
years Increase.
In girlhood, as pretty and vivacious
Bessie Porter, she made her first ap
pearance In Washington, coming over
to visit her great-aunt, Mrs. Saunders
Irving, widow of Washington Irving's
nephew. Mrs. Irving maintained a
menage second only to the White
House in point of social Importance,
its gentle mistress, who was an In
valid, being one of the few women up
on whom the wives of the Presidents
felt It incumbent to leave cards.

Mrs. Edwards is a slender, delicate
looking woman, whose chief beauty
lies In her sweetness of expression, her
well-bred air and her lovable manners.
She looks at life through two Jolly,
twinkling 'eyes and she has sympathy
with everybody and with everything
that lives, without regard to place or
position. Her servants adore her and
pay her the sovereign compliment of
remaining In her service two decades
or more.
A very great-great-granddaughter of
the first white man that settled In the
western part of New York, Mrs. Ed
wards' family, the Porters of Niagara,
N. Y., held the original grant of the
immense tract of land which Included
the falls until the taking over of the
property by the State government.
Gen. Peter B. Porter, Mr3. Ed
wards' great-grandfather, served as
secretary of war in the cabinet of
President John Quincy Adams.
Gen. and Mrs. Edwards' daughter
Bessie Is a pretty little woman of 10
years, who is a chum of her father and
the boon companion of her mother.

The Miracle of Tollle 1'cn.Ulcncy.
Says Orison Swett Marden. wrltins.
in Success Magazine; When geniuf
has failed in what it attempted, and
talent says impossible; when every
other faculty gives up; when tact re
tires and diplomacy has fled; when
logic and argument and influence and
"pull" have all done their best and
retired from the field, gritty persist
ency, bulldog tenacity, steps in, and
by Rheer force of holding on wins,
gets tho order, closes the contract,
does the impossible. Ah, what mir
acles tenacity of purpose lias perform
ed! The last to leave the field, the
last to turn back, it persists wheu all
other forces have surrendered and
fled. It has won many a battle even
after hope has left the field.
Confederate commanders In thj
Civil War said that the trouble with
General Grant was that "he never
knew when he was beaten." When
Grant's generals thought that his
army, with only two transports, would
be trapped at Vlcksburg, they asked
him how he expected to get his men
out, urging that In case of defeat he
could get only a small part of his
army upon two transports.' He told
them that two would be plenty for
all the men that he would have left
when he surrendered.
It 1s the man In the business world
who will not surrender, who will not
take do for an answer, and who stands
his ground with such suavity of man
ner, such politeness,, that you cannot
take offense, cannot turn him down,
that gets the order; that closes tho
contract; that gets the subscription;
that gets the credit, or the loan.
He Is a very fortunate- man who
combines a gracious manner, suavity,
cordiality, cheerfulness, with that
dogged persistency which never gives
up.
