tween 1920 and 1860 Neither in Wash
ington nor it's sister cities of Alexandria
and Georgetown was celebration of that
day certain.
Sometimes It passed without the pa
rade OF a company OF volunteer mill
tia. or even the stirring notes Of a drum
and fife. But even when there was no
other celebration It often happened that
the morning was ushered in by reveiIle
and the evening closed by a tattoo from
amateur bands that signalized that op-
portunity Of displaying their gifts.
Mr. Custis' Speeches.
At Alexandria I'm the latter days Of
the 30's, the venerable George Washing
ton Parke Custis, who new er abandoned
the constant pressure of the claims
which the great chief had upon the
memories of Alexandria, would enforce
to a small audience there the patriotic
duty OF COMMUNICATING the memory of
him who had been the greatest friend
the town had ever seen.
Oftentimes Mr.. Cussis would come to
the ancient city, take his dinner at the
City Hotel. he had often done when
a boy accompanied by the old chief
Then when dinner, which at that date
was usual al o'clock. had assuaged his
appetite and its pleasant accompani-
ments had mellowed his heart, he would
come 20 the door Of the City Hotel, from
which in November, 1893. Washington
had given through Gusts as adjutant
the last military order ever given by
him
There. where a small thrOng generally
gathered, he would address .hem on the
memory Of Washindton and his times
The Washington times., 1904-02-21

1851 When Conte de Rochambeau.
Marquis de Lafayette, and Marquis de
Grasse visited America to attend the
recent unveiling Of the Rochambesu
statue. they were the recipients Of many
social attentions. and upon their return
home they decided TO evidence their ap-
probation by raising fund to replace
the Washington bust, the model Of
which has fortunately been preserved.
Would Strengthen Ties.
The strong desire on the part OF
France TO strengthen the ties which
once bound the United STAKES to her
first became manifest after the Spanish
American war when the Anglo-Saxon
idea gained strong foothold and Great
Britain was proclaimed as Uncle Sans
natural ally against the world IL need
be. II was if anything intensified by
the Kaiser's coup in sending Prince
Henry as a promoter of good feeling.
Frances wishes and desires have been
indicated in numerous ways since then,
but I'm none more clearly than by the
appointment Of NJ Jusserand as am
bassador at Washington. The new en-
voy has an American wife; he has been
a deep student of American and English
literature and history: and he has ac-
Quired a keen insight into Anglo-Saxon
society. customs and characteristics by
extended diplomatic service at London.

be a representative example Of the
French style of architecture.
Plans Not Completed.
But inasmuch as there has not as yet
been a completion of the plans for the

construction. it will likely be several
years ere the tricolor will wave over

Among the most notable of these are
two masterpieces entitled Spring" and

are shown I'm this room and which in
