MLS Dowd bending down to show sketchpad to kid in stroller; mother sitting on bench and older sister (c. 3 yrs) standing beside; then he tries to show it to the 3 yr old who walks off uninterested & throws a ball instead. (Incidentally, this little girl is wearing a rather strange bulky fuzzy outfit, looks like mohair dress over mohair pants w/ matching cap! Next, MLS another child c. 3 or 4, comes up to an ancient lady selling balloons; the child puts coin on the vendor's lap and the elderly woman gives her a balloon; meanwhile, Dowd stands in BG sketching the event.
