DERHAPS the RooSevelts were
l. inherently democratic. Or
maybe they became that way
through close and critical obser-
vat1ons of the high not espe-

Anyway, the Roosevelts, old and

One of the first things the chill
dren noticed about Washington
was its penchant for class dis

from this, of course. But they
did resent it.
And they soon discovered that
the sons of government clerks
were just as likely to be good

Formal, official society puzzled
them continuously. There was
the matter of visiting cards, for
instance. People came to their
house in droves; not to have
luncheon or tea, or TO spin yarns
and stir their fathers hearty
laugh, or to do any of the friend
ly, enjoyable things that their
real friends did.
Most of these people came with

body, but just to leave their cards
on a silver tray.

IF there was any sense to such a
i procedure, Anna and Jimmy
and Elliott didn't know what it
was. And such were the demands
of capital formality that these
cards had to be gathered up pc
riodicallly, scrutinized and noted,
and then their mother had to go
about dropping cards on trays in
the homes of the original drop-eeS.
This went on indefinitely. The
rising young Roosevelts had
pow-wow about it and decided
that they would fulfill their moth
