The Paris Figaro thinks that the DAY
Of frock coats is over, reasoning from
a circumstance which lately occurred
at Ostend. During the international
race week King Leopold gave lunch
con party and invited famous Eng

derbilt family, NJ. de B.. an eminentI
French turtle and the consul of great
mower. The card of invitation bore in
the corner the words In frock coat.
Now, NJ. de B. had no frock coat win
him. so he went downstairs and, find
ing the manager, begged his frock coat
for a couple of hours. The nanaesr
readily consented, bart .aiu, Il must
explain to NJ. le COmte that this is not
nv best frocl1 coat. which l should
readily have placed at his disposal had
| not already lent it to NJ. Vanderbilt
The explanation of the matter doubt
less is that the gentlemen did not think
they would need these garments OF

Roosevelts. Enjoyed the Fun.
Wshington, April 5.-Hundreds OF
children. of all colors and conditions
participated in the Easter Monday egg
rolling festival on the White House
grounds. Scores of little ones, accom-
panied by mothers or nurses, were
awaiting the opportunity to begin the
sport, and early in the afternoon the
grounds were thronged with children.
Experience had shown that the sport
of the children on previous egg rolling
days had been interfered with by
adults who were accompanied by little
ones, and a regulation was enforced
that no grown-ups should be admitted
to the grounds unless they were IN
charge of children. The rule worked
admirably. The youngsters practically
had the grounds to themselves, and
they enjoyed the day immensely. Am
pie police protection was afforded the
/ little guests of the president and Mrs.
Roosevelt, and they were guarded
against every possible harm.
To add to the pleasure of the ege
rolling party, President Roosevelt dl
rected that the Marine Band should
give a concert in the grounds. the
presidents young children and some
of their playmates also participated II
the egg rolling fun.
To witness the sport, Mrs. Roosevelt
invited the women of the cabinet circl'
and a party of her young friends t.
