She smiled at the eager, happy-looking children, waved her hand to them,
and spoke to her husband. He turned to look at the Bobbseys and their
friends, and he waved his hand, He seemed to like to have the children
watching him.
And then Flossie, with a quick little motion kissed the tips of her
chubby, rosy fingers and fluttered them eagerly toward the President's
wife.
"I threw her a kiss!" exclaimed Flossie with a laugh.
"I'm gin' to throw one too," exclaimed Freddie. And he did.
The President's wife saw what the little Bobbsey twins had done, and, as
quick as a flash, she kissed her hand back to Flossie and Freddie.
"Oh, isn't that sweet!" exclaimed a woman in the throng, and when,
afterward, Nan told her mother what had happened, Mrs. Bobbsey said that
when Flossie and Freddie grew up they would long remember their first
sight of a President of the United States.
"Well, I guess that's all we can see now," remarked Billy, as the
President's carriage rolled off down the street and the crowd that had
gathered at the White House gate began moving on. The gates were closed,
the policemen and guards turned away, and now the Bobbsey twins and
their friends were ready for something else.
