Photoplay (Jan-Jun 1963)

sists on calling him that. Jackie realizes that this touch of sophistication is not in itself necessarily bad for Caroline — after all, titles of elected officials are meaningful, and surely there can be no harm in Caroline’s believing that the whole world thinks as highly of her father as she does. What Jackie fears is the time when Caroline may find herself in the awkward position of an unwitting name-dropper, antagonizing other children simply because her relatives and family friends are titled, world-famous people. Caroline may one day discover sadly that if she wants to make new friends, she had better not mention her old, famous ones. Another resounding failure has been Jackie’s attempt to keep Caroline out of the limelight. It is a serious failure, because so much effort and heartbreak has gone into the attempt. Caroline loved ballet school, but Jackie Lad to stop the lessons when she discovered photographers waiting for Caroline there. Twice Caroline had to be shooed away from the Kennedys’ first White House Christmas tree because a group of reporters were admiring it, too. The trips to Georgetown to visit Caroline’s old friends were stopped, too, when Jackie discovered that press cars were dogging the Kennedy car en route. Around Caroline’s play yard on the White House South Lawn, Jackie ordered holly trees and rhododendron bushes planted — not just to keep the public from watching her child at play, but also to prevent Caroline from noticing their obvious interest in her. Despite all precautions, Caroline has been photographed so often, has become so accustomed to the presence of photographers, that when she doesn’t see them at the White House gate she asks for them anxiously. When they are around, her usual reaction is to turn and wave at them happily. Last summer, Jackie finally acknowledged defeat by making little effort to prevent the reporters and photographers who flocked to Ravello, Italy, from recording Caroline’s every word and photographing her at length. Many well-disposed people were glad to see Jackie give up her fight to preserve Caroline’s anonymity. “Now she’ll be able to let Caroline do more,” one friend remarked. “It’s a pity to deny a child all sorts of pleasures just because people will watch her enjoying them.” Unfortunately, it is not quite that simple. There were only a limited number of reporters in Ravello, and they were willing to allow Caroline and Jackie a minimum of privacy during their vacation. None of them tried to invade the roped-off beach on which Caroline played, or to swim out to the rock where she and Jackie took sunbaths. At home in Washington the situation is sadly different. Squads of press men descend on mother and daughter whenever they venture off the White House grounds together. Instead of a few beaming townspeople following them, as in Ravello, mobs of several hundred people congregate in a matter of seconds wherever they go. Under these circumstances, what starts out as a pleasant outing turns rapidly into a nightmare, terrifying Caroline and bringing something very like bitterness to Jackie’s eyes. Never, for example, has Jackie dared to take Caroline to the National Gallery of Art, although she herself loves the famous museum and has expressed the hope that her children would \ PARADE FASHIONS \ 1313 W.
