E—4 s OCIETY. About Well-Known Folk In Books, “Charlie” Taft Makes Human Needs Meeting—Kennedy’s De- parture Deplored—Tydings and Cupid. BY ROBERT CRAWFORD. There was an Autumnal loveliness that pervaded the scene on the South grounds of the White Hcuse on Mon- «day. last when the members of the ¢ Conference of Mobilization for Human ® Needs assembled to hear President ~Roosevelt's address of welcome. . The gread beds of red and vellow = cannas never flaunted themselves more proudly; the fountains never sparkled “more brilliantly in the sunlight as “the historic old trees nodded a gentle - approval of the meeting. The Presi- , dent looked as fit as a race horse, and »his voice rang out clear and distinct. It must do him a lot of good to re- . turn to Hyde Park and play the coun- =try squire for awhile, shake hands « with his old neighbors and talk crops. Later in the Fall he is expected to g0 to what he calls his “second State"—Georgia—where he will look .over his small experimental farm + down there. and wave to the people ’ elong the road who watch for him to go by. It's a great day in the “mawnin when the President visits Warm Springs, where he is known to hun- dreds of the people of that part of the State. It's a red letter day to - Uncle Mose and Aunt Liza and young Jeff, and they clean up a bit and go forth to see Mr. Roosevelt; off comes Uncle Mose's and young Jeff's hats Art, Politics Hit at White House— [he must have come through with fly- ing colors according to some of the great financiers of the country. Very early in the game he announced it the whole motive of the act was to make finance more responsible. He made it clear that there were no grudges to satisfy—only those who see | | things crookedly would find the rules | hard. He said he thought that the | danger would be that the commission | would not interfere too often but might act too late. | | There was every reason why Mr. | Kennedy early in his Washington | career made friends right and left—a | | straight forward wholesale manner, | nothing blustering or owlishly im- | portant about him; frank, the Irish- Yankee from Boston had a merry twinkle in his grey-blue eyes and he wanted the country to know all about | his job from the beginning.

He fortunately has President Roosevelt's happy faculty of being able to put aside business worries, relax and be ready to return to his job with renewed vigor. He took & charming country place near | town; swimming pool, tennis courts, | kennels, an ideal place to entertain | ™ and enjoy his friends and keep fit. And now Mr. Joseph H. Choate, jr., although his distinguished father, the great lawyer, diplomat and state: man, has been dead for many years, still signs himself “junior”—a pretty | compliment. The former administrator of the Federal Alcohol Control Admin- istration, now the Federal Alcohol Ad- ministration, has returned to New York, to resume his law practice. which he relinquished for awhile to come down to do his bit toward re- | covery and map out a plan for the | enforcement of a most difficult piece of legislation. Accepting his resigna- tion, the President wrote Mr. Choate that “your administration was, to my gratification, fair, just; impartial, and non-political,” etc. etc. The repeal of the eighteenth amendment, which was merrily re- ceived by thousands of citizens who simply regarded it as & scrap of paper during its existence, was a part of the Constitution of the United States which received sad treatment at the hands of loyal supporters of the great bill of rights. and Liza makes her best bow. A young man who created a good deal of favorable comment at the meetings for the mobilization of human needs was Mr. Charles P. Taft, 2d. of Cincinnati, youngest son of the late President and the late Chief Jus- tice, William Howard Taft, who led the meeting on campaign plans for the next vear. “Charlle” Taft, as he is known here, where he attended the Force Public School during his father's residence in the White House, has covered him- self with glory in affairs municipal out in his home town. He is a mem- ber of the law firm of Taft, S(ell!musi & Hollister, and is the recognized spokesman for his party in local matters. He's a stanch party man and has been heard to say that there might be a Republican tariff policy and a Democratic tariff policy, but no Republican way of cleaning streets as contrasted with a Democratic way of cleaning streets. He knows all about the process, as he did much to | clean up Cincinnati, both hygienically to speak of the Autumn days as the and morally. He is vitally interested melancholy days, but, as a matter of in capable and efficient city manage- truth, Washington and its surround- ment. regardless of politics, but likes | ing country never looks more inviting best the way the Republicans do it. than 1t does in the Fall of the year There is something exhilarating, : something enlivening about the ®eason The Cincinnati Experiment” has come | that gives one a longing to take to to be used as a text book oOn city goV- ' the road as the gypsies do and wander ernment.

Comdr. and Mrs. William ‘Thomas—the latter nee Helen Marye— have taken that delightful house in | Prospect avenue, Georgetown, which its owner, Mrs. Edward Macauley, has restored during the past year. The century-old house is positively in- triguing with its rambling rooms and promenade leading out to the gazebo, with its cozy seats and distant view up and down the Potomac River, and looking across to the Virginia hills | and Arlington Mansion, The house and grounds occupy al- most half a block and the restoration has been perfect. The beautifully ter- raced and walled gardens run through from Prospect avenue to M street be- low. almost to the very banks of the Potomac River. Until Mrs. Macauley | restored the old house it has been closed for many years and the gardens were simply a mass of undergrowth and overgrown shrubbery. There was such an air of mystery about the whole place that some of the pobulation in that part of town shied clear of it at nightfall. It had an eerie, weird at- mosphere about it. There is 8 new bock off the presses about John James Audubon. the fa- mous naturalist and artist. who had the genius to paint what he saw and surround his beloved prints of birds and animals with their natural en- vironment. “Singing in. the Wilderness"—isn't that just charming when one thinks | of Audubon? He will sing through the ! ages to all bird lovers. This book, bx | Mr. Donald Culross Peattie, has not been read in its entirety but the glimpses make one cry for more. Mr. Peattie also calls his book “a salute to the naturaiist,” whose 150th birth anniversary was celebrated last Spring by the Library of Congress, with a most interesting assemblage of his writings and interesting uboniana The li- brary has the rare edition of the phant Folios, the rarest of his works —four of which are owned by the Corngressional.

These folios are filled with gorgeous colored plates, the frontispiece cf the first volume being a glorified picture of the great Amer- ican bird.

The folios are 3 feet 2 | by 25 inches wide. “Good-by for the Present: The Story of Two Childhoods,” by Eleanor Acland—Lady Acland of England—| which had such a delightful review- | in the London Times several | weeks ago, is quite disappointing. After all. it makes a great deal of dif- | ference in who reviews a book. The | state of mind of the reviewer, the sur-| roundings and familiarity with the nationality of the characters dis- cussed. all lend themselves to making the book appetizing to the reading public. i Mr. John Masefield. England's poet laureate, has written a fantasy story for children. called “The Box of De- lights: Or When the Wolves Were Running.” The advance savs the scenes are laid partly above the earth partly under and on the earth and partly in fairyland.
