the first lady in the land, have been re
lated by Mrs. Laura G. Holloway and
other writers. These women were not,
like the queens of England, chosen for
their exalted rank, but each one was
raised to her dignities simply because
she happened to marry a man whose en-
ergy and talents made him president of
the United States; and yet many OF
them have been women Of more than
average gifts, and in more than one case
the wife's ability was potent factor in
the husbands success.
Of course, the story begins with that
of Martha cambridge, wife of Gen.
Washington, the only woman whose
face was ever paid the compliment OF
reproduction Oh a bank note. She was
a lady whose personal beauty and grace
of manner, combined with her rank and
fortune, would nave made her under
any circumstances social leader. With
large hazel eyes and prOfusiOn of
soft brown hair, she was one of those
beings fair TO look upon from the cradle
to the grave-a lovely child, daintily
pretty girl, and IN her old age distin-
guished by the benevolent COmellneSS
with which we are all familiar.
She was born at her ancestral bone IN
New Kent. Va, in May, 1882, and was
married at the early age of seventeen to
Col. Daniel Parke GUSTS, a wealthy
gentleman, with whom she passed a
few happy years at their residence. 1.-The
White house." on the bank Of the Pam
unkey river She was left widow with
two children, girl and a boy. She was
now in the full blossom of matured
beauty, and possessed of an ample fort
une.
In the anxious days of the Indian
troubles Of 1858 George Washington,
then a British officer, met the young
widow at the house Of wealthy and
hospItable Virginian where he went to
dine He had been reluctant to accept
the invitation, it is said, but once i'll the
presence of the fascinating young
widow, he fingered so long that his host
asked him to stay over night, and this
second invitation was eagerly accepted;
nor could the officer tear himself away
until late Oh the second day.
We all know what followed; there was
an engagement very soon, and IN 1909
Col. Washington and Mrs. Gusts were
welded, going to reside at Mount Yer
non Immediately afterwards.
During the great struggle for indie
triotic as her husband, sustaining him
with her sympathy and advice in all the
trying time when he was assailed as
''disloyal" because he loved liberty
better than the crown. In 1850 she
wrote a stirring address entitled 1.-The
Sentiments of an American Woman"
This was read in the churches of Vir-
ginia and did much to revive the droop-
ing spirits of the people in those dark
days of the Revolution.
The gifted lady was an admirable
housekeeper and when her husband was
away on his long campaigns she cared
for the property with such ability that
he was spared all anxiety about home
matters. AS she shared the hardships,
80 Lady Washington" as the people
were fond of calling her, shared the
glories of her illustrious husbands
career The wife Of the president, she
did the hOnors Of their home in Phila-
ielpha, then the capital, and when his
official life was over she retired with

Jane Appleton Pierce was the daugh-
| ter of Rev. Isaac Appleton, ID. d., presi-
dent of BoWdoin college. She was from
childhood an invalid afflicted with
nervous and melancholy temperament,
and her entrance to the White house
was proceeded by an awful calamity.
As she and her husband and their only
son, a bright boy of thirteen, were on
their way to Washington just before the
Inauguration they were involved in
railroad accident in which the poor
the shadow Of this grief that the I'M
happy mother was called to take her
place at the head of Washington society.
She Struggled bravely to do her duty,
but beyond the faithful performance of
her official tasks she took no part in So
ciety.
Ali honor to beauty! Once again there
was a queen of gentleneSS and grace
and charm in the White house, and for
the first time since the days of Dolly
Madison there were gayety and con-
slant sounds of social entertainments in
the American palace that were led by
the lovely Harriet Lane.
James Buch anaE was bachelor, and
MS graceful young niece ala tHe nonOrS
during his administration. L remember
her personally, and how handsome she
was at great reception at Mrs. Rush's
in Philadelphia just before her uncle
became president. She was blonde
with fair hair, blue eyes and an ex-
Quisite complexion; her figure was full
and almost perfect in proportion, and
there were intelligence and refinement
III her face as well as beauty. Wh9t a
bell she was! Everybody adored her,
the senators were her o6edient servants,
the foreign ministers were her court
iers. And yet during the four years
that she was the American queen there
were only the kindliest words for her.
She was no cOQuette, her manner was
always dignified, and she maintained
herself with admirable tact through the
gaities of perhaps the gayest admins
tration we hive ever had.
OF course Miss Lane had many offers
OF marriage, but she had the good sense

MT. PLEASANT CITIZENS.
Not Many Meet, but a Good Deal Of Interest
IL Manifested.

T>ot many Steet, Dut u SoO0 Deat OF lnterest
IL Manifested.
The Mt. Pleasant Citizens Association held a
called meeting last evening at the Cogrega-
tional Church in the village, but owing to the
blizzard which was then prevailing
the attendance was rather small. No
business Of importance was transacted, but
several members took occasion to arraign the
District Commissioners for the manner in
which they persistently neglected the crying
needs Of the village.
Mr.. Chaplin Brown, from the committee
on fire limits, informed the association that the
Commissioners had finally made the northern
limits as follows: Quarry road from the Zoo to
Columbia road, Columbia road TO 10th street,
18th street to Park street. Park street to Mt.
Pleasant avenue, Mt Pleasant avenue to Whit
ney avenue, Whitney avenue to eth street.
Mr.. j. Is. Slomon Of the committee on char
titles. reported that about SI75 had been ex-
pended, and that O concert would soon be given
in aid Of the charity fund.
The committee on sewers reported that the
sewer from Rock creek to l4th street would
surely be completed during the early part Of the
coming fiscal year and the committee on streets
and sidewalks reported that good foot board
crossings would be placed throughout the VII
lage during the coming spring. The committee
stated that the bill for the extension Of streets
and avenues was in conference. where it would
undoubtedly rest.
Mr.. G.. II. Hill called attention TO the
dangerous co idition of l4th street at the head
OF the cable line, owing to its narrow width,
and moved that, the Commissioners having
failed to do anything in the matter, the associ-
alton should ignore them and lay the matter
before the Senate District committee. The
association, however, thought it was now too
late In the session to accomplish anything, and
Mr.. Hill motion WAS not even seconded
The question Of new school house FOR the
village was then discussed. and it was charged
that the Commissioners had failed to keep their
promise to put the estimate for a school house
in the estimates for the coming fiscal year. 1t
was suggested that Mt. Pleasant should have a
representative on the public school board. and
the president Of the association was directed to
request such representation.
Gen. Ellis Spear stated that he had been ap-
pointed on the executive committee of the
lately organized Sanitary League Of the Dis
trict, and he assured the association that the
league would assist them in every way possible.
A letter of resignation from Mr.. ]. c. Church
hill was red, in which Mr.. Churchhill stated
that, feeling that the association was accom-
plishing little, he desired to sever his connec-
ton with it. The resignation was promptly
accepted.
On motion Of Maj. Aldrich resolution of
thanks to the daily press for its interest in the
affairs Of the village was unanimously adopted,
and the association adjourned subject to the
call Of the president
