Thirty years after her marriage to Gen.
Washington, Martha Washington found
herself elevated to the position of the first
lady of the land. At Washington's levees
the President always appeared as n pri-
vate gentleman, without the cooked hat
of ceremony, and with no sword. All
callers were seated, and the rich pound
cake and plum cake of the day was hand
cd around with tea and coffee. and wine,

days in good society. Every Friday even

Martha Washington was of plump fig

generations of refined and elegant pros

Though the story has been often told

nor custom stale. At this season the
country is celebrating once more the an
niversary of his birth and recalling TO

have given him the fame which he enjoys.
George Washington was born in West
moreland County. VA, Feb. 81. 1t32. He
does not seem to have shown any intel
~Iectual br:liiancc when a7boy and his
teaching was of rather an intermittent
sort. The only thing for which he showed
much aptitude was in mathematics, and
this talent he turned to the requirement
of surveying. He did 4 good deal of his

He performed prodiSies of yalor and won
great admiration from the colonists and
Indians alike. Writing in q letter of one
of these engagements he says: Il had
