THE MARY WASHINGTON
MONUMENT.

and dignifed, and will most appropriate
ly commemorate the character of the
woman in whose honor it is to be erect
ed, the woman of whom Lafayette said,
"In her only of all women lives the Ro-
man matron of modern days"
The monument is to be granite mon
olith 40 feet in height upon base 10 feet
high, making an extreme elevation of 90
| feet. Upon the rising ground where the
grave is situated this will be a very con-
| spicuous object, and it cannot any too
soon take the place of the mass of broken
stone which is all that remains of the
marble monument begun half a century
ago, which is today rather a monument
of blasted hope and fruitless endeavor
than the memorial it was intended to be.
The ladies of the association have en-
tire faith in the women of he,country
and believe that they will contribute
! what remains to be raised of the funds
necessary to carry out the designs of the
organization. These objects include, be-
sides the erection of the monolith, the
identifying Of the grounds about it and
the provision of fund sfor its perma-
nent maintenance. Renewed interest
has been shown in the project since the
model has been placed on exhibition, and
the sale of photographs and souvenirs at
the fair has augmented the funds.
1t is npon the life membership, how
ever, that the association principally re-
lies not only for the collection of money,
but for the strengthening and perpetual
ton Of its organization. Life member
ship can be secured by the payment of
e25 or $35, as the donor chooses, the
smaller sum emitting the member to a
silver medal and the larger amount to
one Of gold These medals, it is provid-
ed, are to descend as an inheritance in
the direct female line, from mother to
daughter or granddaughter, and so on, If
possible, or failing there may be devised
by will. A medal entities the possessor
to vote at all meetings of the association
and to the privilege Of aiding in the
care, protection and maintenance for all
time of the grave and monument of
Mary, the mothpr of Washington.
