Mrs. Kennedy And Children
Spend Holidays In Florida
PALM BEACH, Kla. (UPI '
The widow of President John F.
Kennedy and her two young
children arrived at the scene of
some of the family's happiest
times Wednesday night for a
"quiet and sad" Christmas.
Black clad Mrs. Jacqueline
Kennedy, Caroline, 6, and John
Jr., 3. flew to this winter re
sort from Washington on an Air
Force jet. They were accom
panied by Princess Lee Radii
will, Mrs. Kennedy's sister, and
several Secret Servicemen.
The family stepped from the
plane into a waiting car and
went directly from the West
Palm Beaclt airport to the
walled in. seaside mansion of
C. Michael Paul, leased last
year by the Kennedys.
The arrival was in sharp con

the Kennedys here for the
Christmas holidays. On that oc
casion, Mrs, Kennedy and the
children met the President on
his return from a conference in
Nassau with Harold Maemillan
who at that time was British
foreign minister.
Hundreds of spectators had
watched as Kennedy greeted
his wife, scooped Caroline and
John Jr. into his arms and
walked happily to a big, white
convertible which Caroline, to
the delight of the crowd, helped
her father steer out of tile air
port. The return of the slain Prcsi
