PRESIDENT GETS EASTER EGG. Little Girl Presents it to Hira in Washington Church* i Washington, March 23.?If president Wilson wants to stop being president i. . I for a while tomorrow and go out and | roll ep'gs with the thousands of Wash- j ington children on the White Housej lawn, he won't have to sit up to-night coloring eggs and he can 'early find the youthful chaperon by the watchful j policemen. It all came about because j the president decided today to avoid:' the fashionable churches of Washing-11 ton and motored out beyond the Cap- j { itol to the Eastern Presbyterian church. In a pew near that occupied by the president and Mrs. Wilson and their three daughters was Margaret Gundaker, 6-year-old, who brought to church 1 a gloriously colored Easter egg, which 1 would have made almost any famous f rainbow jealous. Margaret watched ( the president while he took his seat. Just before the service she whispered to her mother and then shyly reached * over to the presidential pew and handled Miss Eleanor Wilson a gayly dec- I orated paper napkin with the precious egg inside. Miss Eleanor received it with a smile and handed it to the pres- ] ident, who looked at the name written i in a child's hand on the napkin, armind trt whprp lfttlp Miss O ndaker sat, and bowed his thanks with a smile that made her blush with j happiness and confusion. I The president gave no intimation today as to where he expected to wor- 1 ship and his appearance at the Eastern Presbyterian church was unexpected. He missed the Connecticut avenue Easter parade, but avoided also the J crowds, about the better known j churches. j 1 TVi.o. TTostpr nararlpTV: PTnoveri almost i perfect weather. Members of the dip- , lomatic corps and their wives most of the high government officials, who are in the city, and scores of men and women well known in society turned out to join the spring display of fash ion. i >ETY-FASHIO>ED ORTHOGRAPHY.
