LAFAYETTE'S FAMOUS VISIT,
There Was Great Excitement Over His
Trip to- the United States.

Lafayette Rode Into Philadelphia, "

element passed over this country when
Lafayette arrived Cncc more i'll Amer

remembered while memory endurcs
During President Monroe's second adj
ministration the United States extended
its invitation to Lafayette. He arrived
at Staten Island on Aug. ! 3 Sunday,
1924, accompanied by his son, George
Washington Lafayette, and also by his
sOn-inlaw. A formal reception took
place on the following day, the first
fruits of the most abundant harvest Of
welcome which Lafayette was to receive
during his year of travel through the
United States.
Lafayette was 81 years old when he
visited America as the nations guest
and carried his years lightly. His head
was shaped like that of Burns. He had
a high forehead, long, aquiline nose
and "a rather thin face. His hair was
sandy and quite plentiful. His eyes
were dark gray, restless and twinkling
his eyebrows light i'll color but heavily
marked. His mouth was firm, and his
lips smiled courteously at the holiday
crowd assembled to do him honor. The
general was not very tall, but well
made. His face was distinctly pleasant,
and its expression was an odd mixture
of shrewdness, decision and gay good
humor His costume was IA swallow.
