A Closely Knit Clan
 But, although they won't be liv- ing in the White House, the young CT members of the Roosevelt fam fly will. be down there "a good deal in the next four years. For, in spite of the fact that they have hosts of friends who are always about. they are an extra ordinarily closely knit clan.
 Some years ago, for instance, when Anna was debutante, Mrs. Roosevelt made a rule that when eyer the children were out in the evening they must stop in her room and bid her goodnight be- fore they went to bed. If she was asleep. they were to wake her up.
 The rule still stands for the younger boys, and Mrs. Dall and James when he is in town fre- quently observe it voluntarily.
 Sometimes it means that Mrs. Roosevelt does not get much sleep. For young people, sitting on the foot of their mothers bed late at night and just home from a. dance, are apt to talk at length.
 But I love to have them do it." says Mrs. Roosevelt. T want to know where my children have been and what they've been do- ing. And besides the things they tell me, are interesting. I learn a lot from them, and sometimes, of course, they are very amusing" See Much of Parents

 Very close, too, and constant is the. contact between the family of the President and his mother. The Roosevelt estate at Hyde Park, with its much disputed name "Krum Elbow" belongs to the eld- CT Mrs. Roosevelt. but it is also the legal residence of her son and his wife. They and their children and more recently their grand children have spent a great deal of time there.
 MT. Roosevelt was born at 'Krum Elbow and his wife made her first visit there when she, was only two years old. Her father, the late Elliott Roosevelt, was her hus- bands fifth cousin and his god- father. And the nursery where young, Franklin and Eleanor Roos- evelt played that day is now turn ed over to their grandchildren when they go to Hyde Park.
 They are a congenial family, the Roosevelts. They particularly like outdoor sports. MT. Roosevelt used to ride and swim and play golf and tennis and. sail toy boats, on the Hudson river with the children before his illness. Mrs. Roosevelt has continued to do many of these things with them. There is to- boganning in the winter at Hyde Park and skating. -s~
 , Only Few Accidents
 We have had some accidents now and then, of course," Mrs. Roosevelt once said. My son-in- law broke his nose while tobog- aiming the first time he visited Hyde Park. And every now and then my mother-in-l gets ner- vous and comes into New York and stays because she is afraid somebody is going to get killed.
