remained all these ages materially I'M

A thousand years ago the Ancla-Saxons
used the word in England and north
Germany. The Meso-Goths and, earlier

Matters of Importance Forgotten Be-
cause of Martha Gusts.

cause or Marina GUSTS.
In the traditions of any member of
the Washington family the story of
Martha Curtis is of supreme impor-
lance, writes Cora A. Moore in the
New Broadway Magazine.
It happened one day that she was
visiting at the plantation of q neigh
Dor, Major Chamberlayne, when there
came riding in haste an officer in the
British uniform. The business that he
had with the major he transacted
quickly, declining an invitation TO
stay because. as he declared, he was
on his way TO the governor at Will
Harrisburg on matters of Importance.
But the host repeated the invitation
more urgently. slyly remarking that he
had also beneath his roof the hand
soonest widow in Virginia, young and
charming woman.
All, lady in the case, That was
different But the plans of men have
often waited on Cupid. When the Off
Ger bowed low over the hand of the
lady whom he met in the majors draw
ing room he forgot Williamsburg and
the governor, and she. pleased with
the courage of that colonel, George
Washington, of whose military fame
she had heard so much, scintillated
and sparkled with even more than her
usual fascination. That evening, long
after the rest of the household had re
tired, he and the charming widow sat
by the fireplace in the shadowy draw
ing room quite without a chaDeron to
regulate the tide Of swiftly moving
events.
Soon there was a Respondent we'd
ding at the home Of the bride. Direct
IL afterward a coach and six horses,
guided by liveried black positions, con
veyed the newly married pair to her
town house in williamsburg. Business
interests for some time demanded the
presence of Colonel Washington at the
capital Later he took his bride and
her two children, Martha Parke Gusts
and John Parke Custis, to his own es-
tate at Mount Vernon, where they en-
joyed that happy domestic life which
is celebrated in history.
