President’s Daughter Entranced by Qcean. Secretary Taft and Miss Rookevelt were not hampered by officlal enter- tainments yesterday. The Secretary spent the day receiving friends and lunching and dining informally with relatives and others. Miss Roosevelt, with her party, re- celved visitors in the early portion of the morning and in the afternoon went out for an auto ride through the park and along the beach. She was enthusiastic over her first view of the Pacific Ocean. Secretary Taft arose early yesterday morning and went to breakfast at the St. Francis with Governor Carter of Honolulu. At 1 o'clock he was the guest of Mr. Schwerin at a luncheon at, the Pacific Union Club. The private dining-room in which the feast was served was decked with American flags in profu- sion. The round table at which the party sat was massed with the flags of the nation and great clusters of American Beauty roses. Among those at the luncheon besides the guest of | honor and the host were John D. | Spreckels, Colonel C. R. Edwards, Wil- | lam Babcock, Henry Crocker, John C. Kirkpatrick, William Hood, Captain Payson, Frank Carolan and Charles Webb Howard.\ In the evening Secretary Taft was the guest of his cousin, Mrs. Charles Blake of 225 Piedmont avenue, Berke- ley, at dinner. Among those present were three other cousins of Secretary Taft, resident in California, these being Mrs. Anson Blake, Mrs. Edwin Blake and William Wood of San Francisco. Miss Roosevelt during her auto ride yesterday was nandsomely attired in a gown of deep red cloth, with auto coat of the same ruaterial. Her hat was a | small affair of black, trimmed with tiny ostrich tips. She presented a jaunty and attractive appearance as she passed through the court to the entrance, where the auto was walting for her. In the evening she dined in the Pal- ace court with Mrs. Francls G. New- lands, Miss Boardman, Miss Macmlillan and Colonel C. R. Edwards. Miss Roose- velt is looking forward with great pleasure to the trip to the Redwoods to-day and to the trip around the bay to-morrow. She is especiaily fond of army life, and is eagerly expecting the review of the.troops to take place at the Presidio on Friday morning. She is very fond of dancing and the so- clal functions of life, and naturally Mrs. Eleanor Martin’s ball on Friday greatly appeals to her. Here she wili have an opportunity of meeting San Francisco’s 400. On this occasion Mrs. Martin has stretched the 400 limit away up and over. She has sent out some- thing like 600 invitations. Although many of the soclal lead- ers are away from town and in the country for the summer, no end of them are coming back especlally to pay their respects to the daughter of the chief executive on this occasion. Several members of the Taft party put in an appearance yesterday. They were Representative Newton Gilbert of Fort Wayne, Ind., Senator Murphy J. Foster of New Orleans, La., and Sen- ator and Mrs. Fred T. Dubois. Charles Clark, editor of the Hart- ford Courant, zccompanied by Miss Clark and Representative and Mrs. Eb- ’ enezer J.

To-morrow night the measure of ‘Western beauty, Western elegance and ‘Western hospitality will be taken by Alice, the President’s daughter—she who dwakens to find herself the idol of the people, even as was brilllant Nellle Grant in the days when her laughter rang through the White House, and her wish was law unto all who entered there. *“How nice it must be to be a Presi- dent’s daughter!” sighed a little smart set maid, as she sipped her demi-tasse near Miss Roosevelt on Tuesday night in the Palm Garden. “And to recelve such attention just because one is a Presi- dent’'s daughter!” P Tut! Tut! You little dunce. Miss Alice is honored publicly because she is the President’s daughter, it is true; but she would have walked right into the hearts of people on her own account— on the score of her naturalness, her spirit, her frankness, her perspicacity, her intelligence and her well-bred inde- pendénce—all of which can be traced to the mental qualities of her distinguished father, and traits, by the way, which he recognizes in her equipment, and shapes his conduct toward her accordingly. But to get back to that blg Friday night reception—the hostess of which, Mrs. Eleanor Martin, was signally . hon- ored by the sole acceptance of a social entertainment. ‘With memories of the ball given at the St. Francis last winter to honor Miss ‘Anita Harvey, comes to mind one of the given in San Fran- by ferns That the same general for the recep- WUR_OF THB INVITED GUESTS AT THE [EVELT, SECRETARY TAFT AND PARTY TO-MOR- ROW NIGHT.

On Baturday morning an epitome of “What the Taft Party Thinks of the San Francisco Smart Set” would be interest- ing; and particularly because the invi- tations didn’t say a word about “what to wear,” as they did when the Presi- dent himself was the guest of the city. You remember—do you not?—that white walstcoats and white ties were demanded on the invitations to the big dinner? I always wondered ¥y they didn’t suggest the propriety of a bath or a clean shave before attending.
