1t is only right, perhaps, that the pre-
mier Protestant ecclesiast of America
should thus interest himself in perpet-
uating the memory of one who was
so closely connected by family rela-
tionship with the great George Wash
ington, as the following genealogical
particulars will show: Sir Lawrence
Washington was the son of Lawrence
Washington of Maidstone, and cousin to
John Washington, who emigrated to
America and founded the. Washington
family there.
1t is interesting in this connection to
relate that the Washington coat of
arms (that of Sir Lawrence), which is
preserved at present in Garsdon Church
and will be attached to the reconstruct
ed monument contains three mullets
and two bars, and it was from these
that the idea of the stars and stripes
of the American flag was conceived.
The monument when placed in posi-
tion will be set against the chancel
wall of Garsdon Church, and to permit
of this a small window will have to
be blocked. The inscription is as fol-
lows:

A real queen, according to Queen Alex
andra, is one who can walk well; one who
can carry her head erect; who knows how
to hold her shoulders back, and how 10
rise and be seated again.
Queen Alexandra believes that a real
queen understands the art of being well
groomed. She must know how to comb
and how to keep her hair; she must have
mastered the secrets of the complexion; !;
she must know all about the care of the
eyes and the chin; and she must be
primed upon the art of keeping thin.
Fat queens lived once upon a time but
not now. The queen of today is slender
creature, with the figure and the manner
of a girl
She has not an ounce more flesh than
she wants and needs, and she does not
know what 1T is to have a double chin
AS for her diamond necklace it fits as
well as it did ten years ago, while her
rings and her bracelets are all just as
they ought to be.

This lady presented Garsdon Church
the year before her decease (16S4) a
solid silver communion service of mas

sary expense, ami during his recent
trip abroad he visited Garsdon and
had the pleasure of seeing the spot
where the enterprise is to De carried
out. He was warmly received, and his
sermon there on May 20 was greatly
admired
The old manor house once occupied
by the Garsdon Washingtons has under
gone many vicissitudes, and toward the
end OF last century was occupied as 4
farmhouse. 1t is now in ruins, but por-
tions of the original structure remain.
The stones composing the church monu-
ment and the memorial have been very
carelessly preserved. Still there are
enough for the purposes of reconstruc-
ton.
Originally the monument was of
great beauty, and although now much
dilapidated, 1t is not difficult to see
that when first placed in Garsdon
Church it consisted of a freestone very
richly gilded and painted with marble
columns of the Corinthian order The
inscription was placed on an oval slab
OF black marble inclosed in a wrea TIL
The latter is now detached, while the
slab has evidently been submitted to
much ruthless handling, to which a

Bishop Potter has reason 70 be proud
OF the deep interest he has awakened
in England IN his efforts to restore the
historic Washington relics which were
removed fifty years ago from Garsdon
Church, in Wiltshire, an hours ride di-
rectly south from Sratford-on-A Avon
The relics were on the point of being
shipped 10 America at the time the old
church was being renovated.
An American persuaded an official to
sell him the monument and memorial
tablet erected to Lawrence Washington
in the chancel in the year 1916. Parts
OF the monument were taken out of
the parish without faculty" from the
proper authorities and were about to be
shipped 10 America when they were
detained at Southampton and stored in
an Outbuilding near the church. where
they have remained all these years.
This and recent attempts to bring
oFer the ancestral home Of the Wash
ingtons, in Northamptonshire. at the
time OF the St Louis Fair and recon
strUct it as a show place on the
grounds have awakened Englishmen to
the priceless value Of all that pertains
TO George Washington and his ances-
tors.
Garsdon should not be confounded
with Sulgrave Manor. another home of
the English Washington. near the town
OF Banbury, in Northamptonshire, which
the St Louis Fair syndicate wanted to
buy when it was put up for sale with
204 acres Of farming land
Garsdon is a small village of perhaps
100 Inhabitants nesting in the center
OF rural Wiltshire, with its magnificent
meadows, parks and forest land. The
nearest town is Malmesbury, two miles
distant The Garsdon church is small
and plain and Of considerable anti
guilty, although renovation has given
II a fresh and somewhat modern atmos-
phere.
The interior is. in conformity with
the outside. extremely simple in furni-
ture and Oraments. with a record on
the south wall Of all the rectors since
1897
Money was needed to restore the
Garsdon monument. and a friend Of
Bishop Potter called his attention to
the matter. He at once set about in
teresting himself in completing the
