Joined at the White House tomorrow
by her husband when plans will be
completed for the christening in the
mansion of their 6-month-old son,
Franklin Delano Roosevelt. 3d. The
infant, following tradition, was to
wear the christening robe which has
been worn for generations by babies
In the Roosevelt family, but unfor-

Hyde Park and it will be impossible
for the dress to reach the White
House in time for the christening
party of the new grandson of the
President and Mrs. Roosevelt.
The Presidents mother personally
tucked the christening robe away
for safe keeping at Hyde Park, and
as she did not know of the christen-

not taken from its safe-keeping
place. AS perhaps no one at Hyde

Roosevelt clan not baptized in this
historic robe.

with pink rose which corresponded
to the cluster she wore in her very

William Teahan, who is to act as his
official hostess on outstanding oc-
casions, having left earlier in the
day to join Mr.. Teahan and their
baby daughter, Mary Aurora, at
their home in Detroit.
The new cabinet officer seemed
much impressed with the party and
he remained in the east room watch
ing the dancing for some time after
the Chief Executive had said good
night to his guests. One of the i'm
pressive features Of the party which
