Gated while he was stationed in Rhode
Island, and he was compelled to return to
England. His daughter, who was q
friend OF James Otis, and already noted
for her beauty and cieverneSS, married
Rawson. a musician, and went on the
stage, acting usually in her own plays.
But the story she dared to write OF what
was in reality the dishonorable conduct OF
her own kinsman-in short, the novel of
ssCharlotte Temule''-is the claim she has
upon the memory of the present day.

traville OF the novel, was Mrs. Rawson's
cousin, a man famous for his courage,
beauty and charm OF manner In Iva he
was stationed near girl S school IN Eng
land and there saw beautiful Charlotte
Stanley. the granddaughter of the earl OF
Derby. Through the connivance of q
French governess in the school, he was
able 10 meet Miss Stanley, who was very
beautiful. ard only sixteen years old.
She was fiattered by the attentions Of the
gallant and famous officer, and when be
was ordered to America he persuaded
her to elope with him. The
Frenchwoman also came, promising
to keep Charlotte under her wing until
they could reach America and be married

and he put one obstacle after another IL

from New York, and made his visits tc
her fewer and fewer. Afraid and morti

write to her family nor lose her mad In

Finally she discovered that he was abou

she was. and walked, thinly clad, through
a violent snowstorm to the house of TIN
French woman only to be cast out. On

"reminiscences with which for some years
that gentleman marked the I'D OF Eeoru-

the most unique and imposing were tue

Doubtless the great man had many a
stately compliment for these patriotic and
beautiful damsels! These assemblies
went on throughout Washington's lie,
but with MS death the birthnight ball be-
came memory.
The change TO the Gregorian calendar
gradually altered the date of the celeDra-
ton to the 22d of February and apparently
the last celebration of the 18th occurred IN
Alexandria in 1893. The dinners and pub
lie gatherings of different kinds which be-
gan in 1888 as we have seen, continued,
and we hear of them with various degrees
of elaboration in Philadelphia. Boston,
baltimore Navy York Salem and other
places. There are salutes, flags, liberty
caps and liberty trees decked with
wreaths and garlands, parades, balls ano
banquets. An address from the Newport
artillery is noted and an unusually bril-

In 1873 we have the first record of a
public celebration of this birthday in a
letter from one of the officers in the field,
writing from Winchester, Va, on Sun

it in casual manner, among much de-
