SOCIETY. About Well-Known Folk In Books, Art, Politics Mrs. Robert A. Taft Takes the Spotlight. Mother of Four Presidential Possibilities— Maybe—Washington Woman’s Mecca. BY ROBERT broad, free, happy and CRAWFORD. useful life, Mrs. Robert Alfonso WITH a frankness and cordiality that is evidently born of a Taft, treasurer of the National League of Women Voters, came back to town last week to attend the sessions of the league; look about a bit and renew old memories of the place where she spent happy girlhood days when her father, the late Lloyd Bowers, was solicitor general of the United States in the Taft administra- tion, and she was one of the most set. She Is said to have a good popular debutantes of the official deal of the analytical mind and quick reasoning power of her father as well as his ability to present an argument in a clear, concise manner. That she is tops when it comes to acting as toastmistress, her at the league dinner, which was«- the outstanding social event of the meeting. Mrs. Taft Has Four Presidential Poasibilities—Maybe Five, Mrs. Taft had been in one grand rush from the moment she arrived in Washington, but notwithstanding there were a dozen people waiting to see her, she said she thought she deserved & little breathing spell, so she com- fortably seated herself in a chair on the roof garden of the Washington Hotel, which was the headquarters for the league. Looking across the Treas- ury lawn, the gleaming architectural beauty of the White House unfolded before her, the old mansion looking like an Oriental pearl in a resplendent emerald setting. A fountain was playing in the sun- light down on the south lawn; just visible were beds of multi-colored tulips and other gay flowers parad- ing themselves, and a lawn mower made a droning, humming sound that toned in with the restfulness of the picture. The tennis courts, where she and Bob Taft, the President’s son, had played many a harlily fought game—for even then they were in- clined to make a pretty thorough job of whatever they were interested in— looked fit and inviting, and Mrs. Taft said, “You know, I taught all of my three boys to play tennis and golf and now my youngest and fourth son is my pal in the games.” When it was suggested that she had gone the Gracchi two better, she said she could have & foursome right in the family. It was remarked that as the Taft men through four generations had taken to public life like & duck to water, there would certainly be a presidential possibility in that four- some, to say nothing of her husband being persuaded to shy his hat in the ring in 1940 as a starter. Ohio the State of Presidents! Sorbonne Gave Her Taste For International Affairs. A good deal of water has flowed under the bridge since those gay debutante days in Washington. The week ends when Martha Bowers came down from Rosemary Hall, the fash- ionable and exclusive girls’ school up in Conecticut, which was near Yale, where her future husband, Robert Taft, was attending college. Then there was the Sorbonne, in Paris, where she specialized in history and literature and where she says she got her first taste for international af- Yairs, meeting, as she did, students no one could doubt after hearing Scouts, she combines work in several of the more important social and wel- fare agencies. When asked how she got through with all those various activities she answered laughingly that with the exception of being one of the | founders of the Cincinnati League of ‘Woman Voters and its first president, |many of her other public duties were ! assumed as her children grew up—and |she reminded us that her youngest son was now a big boy. With Distinguished Legal Background She Takes Dispas- sionate Views in Judiciary Reform. In the “no action” motion on the President’s judiciary reform proposal which was offered by Mrs. Marion A. Cheek of Buffalo, chairman of the league's economic welfare department, Mrs. Taft urged careful consideration of the motion. She told the delegates if they could honestly represent the membership back home, they should vote to take action on the President’s proposal. “It is such an important issue, and if at all possible, the league should register its sentiments,” she said. She seemed to feel that the “popular will” of the members of the league could best be express ed through State conventions. Whatever may be the subject under discussion one can= not help being impressed with Mrs. Taft's knowledge and ready informa- tion relative to it, and her fairness and ability to analyze the matter in hand. The Pageantry of Women in the National Capital. Washington during the last three weeks has been just one grand pro- cession after another of what our grandfathers called the “gentler sex”: Women to the front in industry, peace, patriotism and the right to exercise the franchise. Almost a con- tinuous pagean of banners flying, be- Jjeweled and bemedaled Amazons tri- umphant! First came the Daugh- ters of the American Revolution—and it seemed that there could be no body of women more elegant, more earnest in their desire to perpetuate all that is good in the Republic! Then the Colonial Dames of America, the last word in democratic aristocracy— grande dames; recherchee, comme il faut, with quite superior aplomb—but in all seriousness its a poor American who is not proud of these women organizations—these patriotic socie- ties. Was it not Edmund Burke— no, it was John, the other Irish- from all parts of the world. And, by the way, Mrs. Taft is chairman of the Foreign Policy Committee of the Ohio Btate League for International Co-op- eration. Mrs. Taft Is & Farm Woman. She appears so much the embodi- ment of youth and verve that it is difficult to realize that Mrs. Taft's son, Willam Howard, 3d, will be | graduated from Yale this June, and | that her second son, Robert, is in his sophomore year at the same col- lege. Then there is Lloyd Bowers, who goes to the Taft School for Boys in Connecticut. Horace Dwight, the youngest of the quartet, lives on the raft farm, which is about 4 miles out from Cincinnati, and goes to the public schools. It's a real honest- to-goodness farm, with animels and all those gadgets and crop worries which give the Secretary of Agri- eulture so much trouble. With all her #ultifarious duties in both State and eity, civic and charitable associations, Mrs. Taft seems to be able to manage her household—which is not small— and know a lot about what is happen- ing on the farm. She and her hus- band made up their minds early in Yheir married life that the country atmosphere was the best for children. Art, Music, Crops and Politics and What Have We. Unless one has that kind of a mind it is hard to realize the versatility of the clubwoman of the twentieth cen- tury. Now Mrs. Taft is a fair exam- ple: She is intensely interested in art and music—one of her delights is the Cincinnati music festivals—and is a connoisseur of etchings and engravings of which she has an unusually fine oollection. Many of her etchings and engravings were inherited from her father; during her life abroad she fre- quented the great picture galleries of Europe. Besides her interest in music end the fine arts and her love for country life, she is first vice president of the Hamilton County Republican Women's Club and was the first wom- &n to serve as an officer of the Hamil- ton County Community Chest. As a trustee of the Children’s Hospital in Cincinnati and director of the Girl man, who wrote the “Peerage,” who said something to the effect that one must have pride of ancestry in order to stimulate pride in progeny. Just a remark in pass- ing: It will be recalled that Ed- mund, the great Irish orator, states- man and author of “The Sublime and the Beautiful,” was agent for the New York Province in London in 1771. A statue was erected to him in Washington, somewhere—not in the West End. Next Comes the League of Women Voters. This last week the National League of Women Voters, that numbers hil- lions of members, descended on the Capital in sporty tallored clothes, with large brief cases and determined | looks. Immensely Interesting and with the power to make the gentle- men up on the Hill stop, look and listen. Many of them enjoyed the meetings, teas and dinners of the National Society of Colonial Dames, but they were more interested, per- haps, in collective bergaining, judi- ciary reform and child labor. There was Miss Marguerite Wells, Minneap- olis, league president; Miss Florence Harrison of Northford, Conn.; Mrs. David C. Prince of Philadelphia, Mrs. Walter S. Greenough of Indianapolis, Ind, and others distinguished in the General Council of the league, who were splendidly representative of the brains of the country and the de- termined way in which women are demanding more and more recogni- tion in national and State public affairs, Pace-Wilson Wedding Plans Mrs. Pearl H. Wilson is issuing in- vitations for the marriage of her daughter Marjorie to Mr. David Allen Pace, son of Mr. and Mrs, J. G. Pace of Fort Worth, Tex., Saturday after- noon, June 19.
