SOCIETY." Tales of Well THE Known Folk In Social and Official Life Election of Mrs. Thomas Preston to Tenth Term§ as Needlewomen's Guild President Revives Memorics 0{ \Vl‘l“e HO“SC Ladies. BY MARGARET B. DOWNING. Muys. | Thomas J. Preston, who was Mrs.! Grover Cleveland, has recently Dbeen elected to her tenth term as pres- ident of the Needlewomen's Guild. As mistress of the White House showed a tendency toward fine needle work, and especially in_hand-embroid ered garments for her little g in making pretty presents for her per- | {and’ generally and won | | | | | sonal friends. Her mother, Mrs. Fol .om, was a famous sewer, many prizes in_church baz county fairs. When mistress of the historio mansion in Washington, Mrs. Preston often showed a beautiful gold himble, given by her father in recoj nition of his vouns daughter’s prow- ess with a needle. Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt is a member of the Needle- women'’s Guild of which Mrs. Preston is the president, but she also is the chiet influence of a similar guild es- tablished on Long Island. Mrs. Rich- ard Derby, who was Ethel Roosevelt, is vice president of this as ociation, and takes charge during the frequent | absences of her mother. Young Mrs Theodore Roosevelt is likewise a men her. The wives of the other two so Mrs, Kermit and Mrs. Archibald, also hold membership in the Long Island as well as in the local sewing activi- ties about their homes. Mrs. Cleve | land and Mrs. Roosevelt stand out for fine needlework among those who | have in recent years presided over| the White House, as Mrs, Taft does | for her advocacy of good music and | s her insistence that Washington should | . have it.

Mr. McLean, however, does not intend to use it as a residence, being content with the place he has in Bar Harbor. “By-the-Sea” was rented for some years to Mr. and Mrs. James Gerard, and recently to Mr. and Mrs. Robert Gould Shaw, 24, who have it again this season.
