Her characteristics.

The Wife of Our First President, and
Her Characteristics.
The manners of Martha Washington are
said to have been most engaging. She never
assumed to be anything extraordinary intel
lecI ually, wasn't much of reader, but her
elegance of manner has been mentioned
again and again in descriptions of that his
toric time when she was the first lady Of the
land the wife Of the revered first president
of the United States
She is described as having been rather be-
low medium height, but daintily formed, with
pleasing face and dark hazel eyes. The
picture given here Is from an engraving
taken from Gilbert Stuart's painting in her
later years. Perhaps the best ske sch Of her
now in print is the one in Laura c. Ho To-
ways popular book, THE Ladies of the
White House," which also contains fine
engraving of her in her youth, as well as
one when she had become a white-haired
grandmother engraved from Stuart's pic
ture. Therein is charmingly told the story
of her first meeting with the illustrious
Washing on, thea young colonel. 1t was
in 1858 at the house of Mr. Chamberlayne
at New Kent, Va, whit. Washington wa1
on his way to Williamsburg, attended by a
