Visitor Unannounced.
Mr.. Harding received an unan-
nounced visitor later in the day
when lo-year-old Paul Mann stole
over the low fence between the
lawns and the Executive Offices and
presented himself at the Presidents s
window, that he might personally
hand to him an egg decorated with
the seal OF the United States. Boy
Scout emblems and other insignia.
Later the President gave the egg to
4-year-old Henry Lee in the line
of hand-shakers received as part of
the days celebration.
The frantic wall of the hopelessly
lost greeted the matrons of the East
portico in endless chorus through
out the day. Youngsters whose
wanderings had seemingly led them
suddenly into confusing labyrinths

watchful policemen and turned

Many Visit Zoo.
Tho Zoo attracted $4,000 kiddies
and parents to whom the expedition
to animal land had the combined
purpose OF egg rolling and sightsee-
ing. The Boy Scout Band furnished
music from 10 o'clock in the morn
ing until ! in the afternoon. The
knoll near the Lion House was the
center of springtime frolic.
Sudden, shifting winds heralding
a downpour that did not come, sent
Zoo-Goers scurrying for homebound
trolley cars a little after mid-after-
noon. But the best part of the day
had been so generous In sunshine
and warmth that the cooling breeze
was refreshing inasmuch as rain
drops were mist-lik and not fatal
to Sunday clothes.
At the White House the high wind
put fright into the hearts of mothers
whose best bets were bedecked in
new rompers. The weather scare
was almost general. Gates sudden
ly became too small for exit ie-
mands and many climbed through
the bordering hedge and over the
iron fence.
But while the eggs and sunshine
lasted, II was q weeks peasure
crowded into Q day.
