Women who aspire to husbands become presl-deniof the I'uiied States or or members uf the presl-den- t s cabinet, would do well to consider tile social responsibilities which would fail to them, as well as to prepare themselves to pin up their husbands to the public service. The life of Micro women in Washington largely is public In itself. Thcie are heavy tieiuiinds on their time for social duties which are to many distnieful. Nevertheless, these duties cannot be thrust aside unless by tiiiuus illuess. One winter's social campaign in Washington hns wrecked more than one woman's nerves. It is no secret that Mrs. Charles W. Fairbanks, wife of the former broke down under the pressure of her social position. Still more recently, Mrs. William H. Taft, the wife of the president, passed through a serious illness, which, while not due to a winter's social campaign in the White House, Ih believed to be the conseciuer.ee of the long strain she endured during her husband's campaign for the piesidencv.
