‘Mr. and Mrs. Charles Webster 
Littlefield (nee Armour) of Kansas 
City and Magnolia, gave a_ very 
elaborate entertainment on the eve- 
ning of June 2d at their home at 
Armour Boulevard, Kansas City. 
Three hundred and fifty guests were 
entertained on the grounds of the 
estate which were transformed into 
a fairy garden by the use of thou- 
sands of electric bulbs. Dancing 
was enjoyed in the big carriage 
house on the estate which was trans- 
formed into a very festive dance 
hall. Even the stalls were uniquely 
arranged as supper rooms. Flowers 
and bunting was extensively used 
to add.to the very festive aspect of 
this occasion replete with bountiful 
hospitality. Two electric fountains 
also added to the beauty of the 
scene. The Armour residence was 
also thrown open for the pleasure 
of the guests. 
The Summers of the Presidents. 
It is to be noted that presidents 
differ in their tastés and recreations, 
a circumstance that the advocates of 
Bald Knob and Mackinae seem to 
lose sight of. Mr. Taft is, not a 
mountain climber, or a fisherman, 
or a canoeist. Golf is his specialty 
and his passion. Any summer white 
house without links would be a 
weariness of soul to him. And the 
salt air is grateful to his nostrils. 
He desires good roads, too, where he 
may tool along in his automobile 
just within the law. But a summer 
white house that would suit him 
might have no charms for his sue- 
cessor. Therefore a fixed retreat for 
presidents in the dog days seems to 
be an inhuman sort of proposition. 
It ought to be the delight of the 
presidential heart to get out of 
Washington and away from the aw- 
ful capitol in vacation time and go 
where he darned  pleases.— New 
York Sun.
