RICH and POOR, WHITE. and
BLACK, WILL Be WELCOME
President Will Watch the Little Tots
on the White House Common
Marine Band Will Give Them Con-
cert in the Afternoon.

Washington, April 15.-Next Moo
day will be Children's Day at the
White House, and all the little chill
dren of the national capital are look
ing forward with ill-restrained giee to
the great event. 1t will be "egg-rooll-
ing time" on the handsome lawn |
south Of the executive mansion and
as in past years, President Roosevelt
will cause 1t to be thrown open un-
reservedly to the children. and the
lawn will be exclusively for the kid
dies.
Unless a grown-up is accompanied
by little tot too young to take care
of himself the big policemen who
guard all the gates blandly smile and
furnish the information that the little
people have monopoly on the
grounds. Sometimes grown-ups are
SO anxious to get in that they will
borrow a child from its mother
If she has more than one-and thus
slip into the enclosure to watch the
children at play.
The white House lot" is the CEN
ter Of the child life of Washington on
Easter Monday. It is not the only
park to which the little folks resort,
but it Is the center-the headquarters
of all the fun. The President usually
steps out into the rear balcony of the
White House and studies the pretty
picture presented by thousands of
happy children. And Mrs. Roosevelt
always spends some time watching
the antics of the egg-roners. Some
times the President takes time for a
few words and he never has so ap-
preciative an audience anywhere else.
! For the little folks can realize to a
surprising degree that the first man
in the land is speaking to them and
that the first lady in the land stands
beside him smiling upon them.
When the gates open at O'Clock
Monday morning hordes Of little chill.
dren bearing baskets of eggs Of every
shade and hue will be on hand. They
are preparing now for the festival
and will be on pins and needles much
of the time until the eventful hour
rolls around. No distinction will be
made as to rich or poor, white or
black-it will be children's day, and
that is all. Between the hours of 8
and / the little folks will romp until
they are weary, roll eggs, "pick" with
each other until their eggs are al
broken, and then be ready to leave
for the fun stops Just one hour aftel
noon.
The big folks will be amply repait
later in the afternoon. when the Unit
ed States marine band will give con
cert in the same park between tn,
hou1 s, of $3.50 and $50. It will b.
the first open-air concert of the sea
son and the white lot will be through
ed witfTnusic lovers. While the BIZ
folks are to be vigorously excluded
from the fun and frolic of the chi
dren, no such prohibition extends b
the tots enjoying the concert. So al
of them will have a very full day.
