which she writes about so appealingly
in her autobiography now appearing
in current magazine. And this year
there will be a new grandchild to look
on at the fun from the south portico
Of the White House, for little Kate
Roosevelt, daughter Of Mr.. James
Roosevelt, eldest son of the President,
will doubtless be there.
Governor General Of Canada
Expected at Children's Party.
II the children at the egg rolling
will look they may see standing by
the President tomorrow afternoon
rather a smallish man with per-
fectly charming Scotch face and with
eyes that do not miss trick. That
will be the Governor General OF
Canada, Lord Tweedsmuir, who is
expected to arrive at the mansion to-
morrow with Lady Tweedsmuir for a
visit. It is the first time a governor
general of the dominions has visited
this country while in Office. His lord
ship is. however, familiar with sew
eral parts of the country-especially
the battlefelds of the War Between
the States. He must be reminded that
he has partly promised to write
history Of Gen. Robert Edward Lee,
which Is awaited with interest, for 1t
seems to be a subject that has In
trigued him for some time.
The President Enjoys
Country Life.
President Roosevelt has just finished
delightfully."- restful visit to the chill
dren at Warm Springs, Ga. They must
miss him oreadfully when he leaves,
for he has a jolly, romping way with
them and it is one Of the brightest
spots in their little invalid lives when
he goes down for a few weeks. He
must like it, too, for no matter how
heavily cares Of state weigh upon him
he somehow finds the time to run
down for a little visit. While there
he relaxes and becomes a real country
gentleman; tooling around the coun-
try roads and over his farm in his
old automobile. People gather on the
roadside to see their neighbor go by
and they get a hearty wave of the
hand and a smile. 1t means a lot to
them. It's almost like the days long
ago when Thomas Jefferson rode
along the roads down about Charlottes-
vile, in his broad -brimmed straw hat,
greeting his neighbors and asking
about crops. Perhaps all of this is
floof yooknS tho
whole world akin.
Secretary Ickes Planned
National Easter Observance.
Never before in the history Of the
United States has the celebration OF
Easter Sunday been so generally OBJ
served as it will be today, notwith-
standing the dire warnings from pull
pits and churchmen that Christianity
Is on the wane and must undergo a
new birth in order to WELD telling
influence in the successful adjustment
of present-day world problems. Secre-

Maine" to the wonders of the Yosemite
National Park in California, and from
snoW-clad Mount Rainier in Wash
1ngton to the beautiful Shenandoah
Park, sunrise celebrations of the day
have been arranged in national parks,
and the trek of automobiles and trail
ers began several weeks ago. The un-
tiring efforts of Secretary Ickes to
make the national Fairgrounds invit-
ing recreational centers for wholesome
outdoor amusements for the whole
population has been one Of the out
standing successes of his administra-
ton.
Yaquf Festival Was
