1nclement weather, found time to 90
out to Arlington Cemetery at 6 o'clock
to take part in an interesting tree
planting ceremony. Acting for the

as a gift from the Lebanon Mountains
in Syria. They symbolized enduring
friendship of the people of the Near

IN the cemetery yesterday, the others
having been placed recently. Like
every woman, Mrs. Roosevelt was
among those outf1tted with new Spring
Easter togs, but rather uncertain as
to whether she would get chance to
wear them.
Last week she added two new
Spring costumes to her wardrobe.
One dress of dark print with cape
OF black, to be worn with a smart
black hat, blue trimmed, she chose
Jor the sunrise service today. But

pours rain, as has happened for the
last two Easter sunrise services, she
will wear black dress.
