"HOW DO YOD DO?"
SAY TAFT AND T. R.
Ex-Presidents and Former
friends Meet Formally at
v Reception to Hughes.
CHEEKS GREET THEM BOTH
New York, Oct 4. Theodore
Roosevelt and William H. Taft
clasped hands for a moment lai
night at the Union League reception
to Charles E. Hughe:.
"How do vou do?" said Mr. Taft
"How do you do?" Mr. Roosevelt
rejoined.
Each bowed and Mr. Roosevelt
passed on, to shake hands with other
guests, leaving Mr. Taftt o greet those
who followed. A few moments later
Mr. Roosevelt took his place in the
receiving line. He stood between Mr,
Hughes and Chauncey M. Depew.
Just the other side of Mr. Depew
stood Mr. laft
Thus, standing in the same receiv
ing line, they shook hands with the
hundreds of club members and their
guests who filed past during the eve'
nine. They did not meet again, how.
ever, or exchange any other words
than commonplace greetings.
"We shook hands," Mr- Taft said,
afterward, "just like any gentlemen
would shake hands.
T. R. Won't Comment
Colonel Roosevelt declined to com
ment on the meeting.
After the hand shaking was over
and the library was cleared, Elihu
Root, president of the club, escorted
, Mr. Hughes through a flag-draped
corridor to a small platform in the
main club room. Beneath a life-sized
picture of Abraham Lincoln Mr. Root
again introduced inc nominee ana air
Hughes made a brief address.
Colonel Roosevelt and Mr. Taft
were called upon by Mr. Root and
each responded with a short talk. ,
The meeting between Mr. Roosevelt
and Mr. Taft was, the . first- since
April, 1915, when both were pall
bearers at the funeral of Thomas R.
Lounsberry, professor of English at
Yale university, and a close friend of
both. On that occasion they merely
shook hands, exchanging no words.
"We have heard in recent days,"
Mr. Hughes said in his address, "that
the alternative of the . policy of the
present administration is war. I think
the alternative ot the policy of the
present administration is peace with
honor. -
"We are not courting a struggle,
but I do say with all seriousness that
we have been living in a period of
national humiliation."
"Good I" shouted Mr. Roosevelt
"Our cititens have been murdered,
their property destroyed and our com
merce interrupted," Mr. Hughes add
ed. 'The alternative of a weak and
vacillating policy it not war, it is a
firm insistence upon known rights in
a world where all nations desire our
friendship and we desire the friend
ship pf all and where only the moat
inexcusable blundering could drag us
into strife." . , ,

intriguing woman curse her hands
and the "damned spot that would not
wash away." Macbeth was seen in the
forest consulting the witches, who
hobbled fantastically; about the cal
dron cooking up their "hellish brew"
in an endeavor to bring about the
inspiration of witchcraft that would
aid them in telling the "future for
tune of Macbeth as to whether or
not he would ever be a king.
Touchstone the Clown. )
As Yon Like It. followed, : with
Rosalind dressed as Gannymede, the
peculiar costume that brought about
so much confusion. Celia, Orlando,
and Jacques were there, and Touch
stone, the famous clown philosopher.
The Merchant of Venice presented
the court scene in which the fair
Portia comes just in the nick of time
to the rescue of the merchant, who
had mortgaged a pound of flesh from
just over his heart a security for
the money -he has borrowed of the re
vengeful Jew. Shylock could be seen
whetting his knife, and the merchant
was just "preparing his bosom for
his Infernal knife. while the fair
Portia stood at trie bar apparently
just beginning her noted plea,
Romeo and Juliet came next, in the
garden scene, with Juliet leaning far
over the balcony, waving and beckon
ing to her lover, while Romeo, the
amorous lover, picked aoftly at a
guitar beneath the window in the gar
den where fountains played. ,
Bottom the Asa. .
A Midsummer Night's Dream fol
lowed. Bottom, the central figure, a
huge fantastic character, with the head
of an ass, squatted in the center of
. the float grinning the stupid grin of
a jackass. This was the workmanship
of the famous fairy, Puck, who ad
justed this ass' head upon the shoul
ders of Bottom, in order to create a
sensation in the party. Oberon, who
incited Puck to this act, was also seen
in the picture, .
- Anthony and Cleopatra tame next
with, of course, the perfumed and
luxurious barge of the Ptolemy queen,
the most conspicuous part of the pic
ture. The beautiful and voluptuous
queen reclined in her cushions while
black servants fanned her with pea
cock plumes. Mark Antony, whose
undoing as a soldier was wrought by
the charms of the Gypsy queen, is
seen approaching the craft.
Othello, the Moor.
Othello, the Moor of Venice, fol
lowed with the dark Moor seated in
his chair, the fair Desdemona, his
faithful, yet mistrusted wife, seated at
his feet Iago, the villian, his brow
knotted with treacherous designs,
from a safe distance, scrutinized the
picture. Brabantio and Roderigo
were in their respective places in the
scene. . t .
Hamlet followed, with the ghost,
Horatio, the other guard, and .Ham
let all in the picture.- The castle was
seen in the background, and before
this on the platform, the soldiers kept
watch. Hamlet was on his knees be
fore the ghost of his father, begging
the ghost to go on with the story
and reveal the facts about the foul
murder that took him away to an
"ntimcly grave ut order, that young
