TINY FOLK HOLD
ANNUAL CARNIVAL
Thousands Flock to White House
Grounds to Roll Easter Eggs.
President Reviews Tots.

Hundreds OF tiny Washington folks
thronged the White House grounds yes
terday and INDUCED in their annual pas
time OF rolling eggs. not the ordinary
product as found in the market stall.
but the Kaleidoscope variety. The cold
weather prevented hundreds Of enthusi-
astic children from making the annual
pilgrimage, but there were sufficient to
mako the grounds ring with laughter.
Much pleasure was gained by the egg
rollers when the Chief Executive and
Mrs. Taft came upon the portico OF the
White House and viewed them at play.
Mort fortunate tots were guests at a re-
ception on the portico. They were the
children OF the Secretary OF the Interior
and Mrs. Fisher. Mr.. and Mrs. Gilbert
Grosvenor. Justice and Mrs. Hughes,
Mr.. and Mrs. w. G. Heron. and Mr..
and Mrs Nathaniel Francis. The Presi-
dent remained with the children but
few moments, owing to the pressure of
business, and was not at liberty until
most OF the merrymakers had returned
TO their homes.
The first group Of children TO enter
the grounds was three tiny girls, accom-
panied by their governess. The number
OF policemen OutnumbcrSd the delegates
from the "childrsn's kingdom" for quite

OF jewellers appeared and opened the fes-
tivities with challenges to their compan-
ions.
Adults Are Barred.
a feature Of the pastiming which was
most amusing was the attempt by some
older folk, who. the police said. rolled
eggs on the grounds in the early SOS.
to gain admission TO the grounds. They
were discouraged in this. however. as only
the guardians OF children were permitted
to enter. Some Of them, resorting to des-
perate measures. waylaid unaCCompanied
children and asked them for permission
to palm themselves OF as their guard
iAns. This ruse was successful, and the
aged jewellers managed to get through.
kodakers were barred from the
grounds, and camera fiends employed
some unusual methods I'm their efforts to
snap the children in action. The police
pride themselves. however, that none was
successful.
The White House Grounds formed a
pleasing background for the festivities.
\ great garden Of hyacynths immedi-
ately south OF the Executive Mansion
perfumed the air. The grass was in
splendid condition, its brilliant green
being clothed with a scrub OF magno-
lia the earlier trees, pines. and ever
greens. At noon the riOtous egg Chas-
ing was stilIed for a few moments in
order To give the flushed and happy
children an opportunity to destroy
eggs that had escaped in the melee of
the early morning. and make a meal OF
them.
Band Gives Concert.
In the afternoon a concert was given
by the United States Marine Band. I'M
der the direction OF Lieut.. Santlemann.
on the White House ElIipse. This con-
cert was open to grOwn-ups as well as
the youngsters, and many hundreds
took advantage of the privilege.
The White House Grounds did not
have a monopoly OF the egg rolling.
The Zoo. Great Falls. and the grounds
of the Soldiers Home attracted gOodly
of celebrators. with their pa
rents.
