per.
1t is recorded that Washington was
minded to go on without stopping for
dinner, but Chamberlayne prevailed.
1t Is a fair inference to suppose that
the planters chief argument was that
the horses ought not to be deprived Of
their snack even if the colonel was
willing to 90 without dinner.
1t is likely, too, that Washington
learned that the widow Custis" was
there, but how much that knowledge
then Influenced him it is impossible
now TO say.

More interesting to this account than

story Of his falling in love with Miss
Mary Phllipse, of New York. 1t was
in the year 1866. Washington was on
his way to Boston, where he was TO

British forces. Washington's journey

on the right of the host.
A most interesting picture is any
true portrayal of Jhe events in the life
Of George Washington, but for tha
purpose Of showing the heart Of the
man none in existence excels this

there stands the vivGclous widow

GEORGE wAsHINGroN's sAao PALM,
PLANTED BY HIS HAND IN THR
CONSERVATORY AT MOUNT VERNON
l25 YEARS AGO.
This aged and interesting plant is
now on exhibition at the Philadelphia
horticultural Show. 1t Is owned by
Mrs. George b. Wilson, OF Philadel
phia, who has documents to prove the
authenticity of the plants claims to
historical value Mrs. Wilson pur
chased the plant from the Erastus
Corning estate, mt Albany, n. Y. The
estate bought the palm in 1851. Until
1853 It remained in the conservatory
at Mount Vernon. When n fire devas

from whom it was secured by the

7 n the praise that has been
bestowed upon George washing
ton the vocabulary has been well
nigh exhausted, but not quite.
So far as l have been able TO learn,
he was never called "a good fellow
oy any eulogist. On the contrary. 1t
seems certain that, SO far as the men
Of his day were concerned, he was
rarely, if ever, hail.felow-well-meL
Thus IL the letter which Thomas Jci-
ferson write to Dr. Walter Jones on
January ., 1874, he said Of Washing
ton; His heart was not warm in its
Affections"
That there was Il want Of comprc.
hens!on ana sympathy" in the wide
matters OF public interest among
Washington's compatriOts Is very we'll
known. 1t seems to be worth while
to show here how there is even now Il
want OF comprehension and sym.
pathy" in what may be called the re.
mantic features Of Washingtons char
actel, to show, that is, that he was
not cold in his affections.
For a beginning, let us look at the
"tabulated statement Of Washington
Household Expenses. 17S9"-a most
unromautic table of figures. as a
whole; but one column Of those figures
standing between Hogs Lard on
one hand and "Crockery" on the other,
shows what he paid for "Flowers-
natural, artlr." We viii omit the ar
titiclal flowers OF the account, because
they We're a mere concession to
fashion, but for natural flowers, dur
ing three months only, Washington
paid IS IL g. And in that day flowers
were far cheaper than they are now
the sum kept the home Of this man
called austere supplied with an abund
ance Of flowers. Washington loved
flowers natural flowers. When pro
fessonal jeaicusies, ureachery, the
want OF comprehension and sympathy"
saddened him be turned to the sweet
est beauties that Nature provided.
And then there was his meeting with
Martha Gusts, who became his wife
q most beautiful story that. 1t was 10
the days when the armies in Europe
as well as in America We're fighting
to determine whether the territory
west of the Alleghanies should be un-

Ington had electrified his own, and
perhaps all the colonies, by his hero

In want OF arms tents, field-equlpaee,

repeatedly written to the colonial nI

and was finally ordered to Williams

known. At the home OF Colonel Bev

Philipse, She was certainly beauti-
