Had President Roosevelt the privilege OF
being present at the children's party given
Wednesday afternoon at the Turrets by
Mr.. and Mrs. ]. ]. Emery of New York,
in honor Of the fourth birthday of their
daughter Leila. his idea of race suicide in
higher life must have been thrown to the
winds. There were little tots of all sizes
and descriptions, and every one bent on
having a good time The youngsters to the
number of sixty roamed the broad lawns
to their hearts content, finding everywhere
some new pleasure to greet their aston
ished gaze. There were games for the lit
tie ones. three-legged races, a fish pond
where no angler failed to get a bite. an
Alaskan treasure mountain where the flu
ture bellies and cotillion leaders of the
summer colony dug for treasure. and the
golden nuggets when Invested of their gilt
paper brought to light pretty little pres
ent for the little ones. There was music
all the afternoon which fascinated the lit
tie ones particularly young master Norris
who refused to leave the side Of that big
bass horn the entire afternoon. After
hunting over the lawn in the intricacies
of a cobweb maze, which led, not to the Gus
tomary delusion and disgust, but to pref
ty present, the little tots were called to the
dining room, where dainty refreshment ia
bles awaited them and here was still an
other surprise. The tables were set with
Jack Horner pies, which when opened re-
vealed the tabled four and-twenty black
birds, which sang when blown into. Mrs
Emery was voted vertable fairy god
mother by the tired but happy children.
For the benefit Of President Roosevelt's
theory it might be interesting to note that
there were five Of Mr.. William ]. Schieffe-
Inns family present, five of Mrs. Emerys,
four little Thorndikes, three little Morrses,
not 10 speak of those who sent one and two
each.
