LAFAYETTE THE COURIER.
Stories Of the Gallant Frenchman and His
Second Visit to America.

Stories of the Gallant Frenchman and His
Second Visit to America.
Many charming stories have been told
by old ladies who were i'll their prime
when Lafayette made his second visit
to America Of the gallant Frenchman 3
courtesy
On the day of his public reception in
Virginia he rode in an open carriage
without his hat. exposed to the rays Of
brilliant sun. bowling to the crowds
always ready to greet him. There was
somo apprehension that sunstroke might
be the penalty Of his politeness. but the
marquis was an old soldier Before
leaving home he had put damp towel
into his capacious wig and, protected
by his helmet, he could indulge his
French politeness with IMMUNITY.
French and American revolutions and
Austrian dungeons had taught him the
art of self preservation.
The most charming story is of earlier
date-his visit to the mother Of Wash
ington. He found her in the garden,
raking together dried weeds and sticks,
preparatory to a bonfire, arrayed in q
linsey skirt, sack and broad brimmed
hat tied over the plated border of her
cap.
The hostess met the situation with
the composure Of duchess. Dropping
her rake, she took between her bare
palms the hand the nobleman extended
as he bowed before her and said:
"Ah, marQuisl You have come to see
an old womanl can make you well
come without changing my dress. ! am
glad to SEQ you. have often heard my
son George speak Of you. But come in. Z"
Preceding him into her living room,
she placed herself opposite him, erect
as girl of 1S. never touching the tall,
straight back of her chair, while she
listened to the praises of her son poured
forth by the eloquent Frenohman.
Then she mixed with her own hands
n cooling drink and offered it to the
general with plate of homemade gin
gor cakes. The man of the world ac-
cepted the beverage as simply and grace
fully ms it was rendered, pronounced 1t
delicious and arose to 30. Would she
give him her blessingf
She looked up to heaven, folded her
hands and prayed that God would grant
him safety, happiness, prosperity and
peace Youths Companion
