this summer. They are certainly p;ctur-

of toning down the effect of sunburn. No

much employed for trimming botliccs and
millinery, u great variety may be found
at the shops made into collars or sold by
the yard. There arc all widths, colors and
degrees of fullness, and great deal of time
and trouble arc saved by the use of this
ready made frlling. Silk ruffics also. of

green silk, and has straight skirt adorned
around the foot with three ruffles. Above
the upper ono is band of black embroid-
cry. Tho bodice, which is plain and close
fitting Mt the back, has plated chemi-
settle of pink mousscline dc sole. The round

the rcvers, and frill of white lace finishes
the neck and sleeves. The belt is of black

wAsHINGToN's BIRTHPLACE.

soion of the house nurtured in free
America. The first, the last, of his
name, Washington stands peerless, IN
approachable.
He himself entertained a feeling Of
sontempt for, rather than an interest in,
the matter of his lineage, as evinced in
his reply to a letter from the Garter
King of Arms" Sir Isaac Heard, in
1792, "This is a subject to which, I
confess, have paid very little atten-
tion." Still, it is known that his imme-
diate English ancestor was the Rev.
Lawrence Washington, fellow of Bra
senose, Oxford, and one time rector of
PurIeigh in Essex, whom the Puritan
parliament elected from his living on
quenter Of alehouses, not only himself
sitting daily tippling there, but
hath oft been drunk
This charge was refuted by his friends,
who asserted that be was Every mod
est, sober person. However, the Puri-
tans got hold of his living, and he
was driven to such straits that two of
his sons, Lawrence and John, shipped
on board vessel for Virginia. Two
hundred and forty years ago they set
tied in Westmoreland county, between
Pope's and Bridge creeks, bought large
tracts of land and soon became known
as successful farmers, stanch church
men and gentlemen of standing in their
community.
There is tradition that John, from
whom George descended, had been
knighted by James 1 in 1928; but, if
so, he was not known by his title, if he
had any, and his friends did not think
any the less of him on this account. He
acquired prominence as field officer in
the Indian wars, and the parish in
which he resided was named in his hon.
or. A certain Baron Washington of the
German branch of the family, writing
in 1874, says the first Americans of the
name were wealthy, and hence he
couldn't see why they came to America.
That shows the continental opinion of
our country at that time, and which
seems to be held even now-that we are
of importance only as we contribute to
the wealth seeking nobility, whether in
the shape Of crude products or beautiful
heiresses.
In 1894 was born Augustine Washing
ton, whose father was Lawrence, son of
the original Colonel John. At the age
of 81 he married Miss Jane Butler,
who died 1878, leaving two sons-Law-
renee and Augustine. She was laid to
rest in the family vault at Bridges
creek, and Is months later, in March,
1880, the widower married Miss Mary
Ball This lady was the youngest
daughter of Joseph Ball, who came to
Virginia about 1895. He was prosper
