The President's Visit. 



When the President of the United 

 States came here a year ago, he was 

 escorted down Broad street by the 

 First Troop, Philadelphia City Cavalry. 

 When he reached Broad and Chestnut 

 streets a man on the curb said to a 

 friend, * ' Now is your chance to take 

 ofif your hat to the President." His 

 friend said he wouldn't, in language 

 more forceful than elegant. Hearing 

 this, a Quaker rushed forward, doffed 

 his hat, and shouted "Hooray!" A 

 feeble cheer from the crowd followed. 



The enthusiasm that greeted Presi- 

 dent Taft when he reached this city to 

 attend the Clover Club binquet in the 

 Bellevue-Stratford .January 17 was in 

 marked contrast to his > former recep- 

 tion. The streets wefe crowded, the 

 people cheered, and the distinguished 

 men who gathered at the dinner gave 

 him a hearty reception. The decora- 

 tions arranged in the palm garden, used 

 for the first time for such an affair, 

 were most effective. The center table, 

 made in the shape of a cloveleaf, was 

 hollow, surrounding a group of palms 

 and ferns. From this table ran other 

 long, narrow tables in the fashion ap- 

 proved for bringing many persons in 

 reach of the speakers' voices. Spring 

 flowers, chiefly daffodils and sweet peas"^ 

 in vases and baskets, decorated the ta- 

 bles. The sides of the room were orna- 

 mented with banks of foliage. The 

 work was tastefully executed by J. J. 

 Habermehl's Sons. 



The Midwinter Ball. 



Those who are accustomed to seeing 

 Horticultural hall would scarcely have 

 recognized their old friend when 

 dressed for the ball last week. William 

 Graham, who had the decoration en- 

 trusted to his care by J. J. Haber- 

 mehl's Sons, did a splendid piece of 

 work. The electric lighting was in- 

 creased to a degree that made the hall 

 bright as day. There were arches and
