Country.

George Washington's love affairs be-
gan NJ very early age. and he was to
the day of his death fond of the girls"
The first sweetheart was ole Mary
Bland. with whom he fell in love when
he was only IA years of age. This Is
ascertained from an entry in one of his
diaries, where he refers To her as his
"lowland beauty" Having tired OF
Mary. he wrote TO friend that he had
decided To bury his chaste and trou-
biesome passion" which, having done.
he soon found himself enamored OF
Lacy Cary. a sisterln-law of Colonel
Fairfax. His affection for this young
lady lasted for some years, being only
interrupted now and again by his nat
ufal Virginia passion of making love
To every pretty girl whom he met.
In 1862 his first serious love affair
was shattered Having fallen in love
with a certain Miss Betsy Fauntleroy.

far back as any records can be found
the supply of water has. never ceased.
The only change noticed in recent
times occurred some time ago, when
extensive building operations were go-
ing on In the neighborhood. and for "A
time the water came through a dark
color This lasted for some three
months and then the flow became clear

The flow of water has never been
traced TO its source, but some have de-
clared that the spring rises in Hamp-
stead and reaches the bath by sub
terranean stream. or this, however,
there seems no evidence.

ing with the glad anticipations TO which
her newborn love had given rise.

The idea of her father ever marrying

Why should he? Was she not there
to keep house for him? And when she
left, as, of course, she should in time
would not Marion then be ready to
take her place? She never heard any
thing so ridiculous.
And TO think that her poor mother,
who had been hardly two years in her
grave should be so soon forgotten!

Edward would ever be so false to her
memory she was sure that 1t would
break her heart!

him in full-Charles Edward Fitzhenry
Stubbs-was more wounding than the
harshest invective.
And to presume 30 think that she
knew nothing of love, who had expert

Full of these indignant thoughts Anne

adored Charles Edward, detailing her
grievances and ending with the decla-
