sion, Sally Gary, i'll The Ladies' Home
journal, Mrs. Burton Harrison says !:
Apparently so riddled by the shafts
of the little god of love had been
the heart Of Washington, the boy. that
it is hard to know how, after his signs
for the 'Lowland Beauty (Sally Cary,
and his repeated addresses to Miss Bet
seq Fauntelroy, and his later sensibility
to the charms Of the very agreeable
young lady afterward Mrs. Amber,
the passion for a woman who never
might be his could have dominated him
as it did fer SO many years. But from
the evidence of his own letters the love
he had felt for the others was as water
unto wine beside the hopeless attach
ment for his beautiful neighbor, Sally
Cary, that during this period threatened
to assume sovereign controuP of his
ardent nature. Fortunately, thanks to
time. to the lady's subsequent absence
III England with her husband, and,
above all. because it was made subject
to his own indomitable will, the feel
ing. was subdued, and his marriage with
Mrs. Gusts ended the episode happily.
1.-The proofs are the enduring init
macy and confidence that existed between
Washington. his wife and every MEM
Der of the Belvoir family during their
respective lives. They may be read by
any student Of the writings of Washing
