once: Sally" the "Lowland Beauty"

story Of the man who could never

aimed and was ready to shoot at one
bird another bird flew in the way.

Harry" the Custer of the revolution
One of Washington's most serious
love affairs was with Miss Mary Cary,
and there is no doubt that she was in
love with him, but her father pre-
vented the marriage by handing out
the Alaskan negative.
Miss Cary afterwards married a
young swell, Edward Amber, who
died young, and his pretty widow was
often a guest at Mount Vernon after
Washington's marriage. The Cary
romance extended over several years,
but in the meantime there were
others. 1t is consoling to know that
Washington was human enough to oc-
casionally do something amateurish,
and the thing he fell down on hardest
was writing poetry. The following
was composed when he was major
and about 20 years old. 1t was ad-
dressed to Miss Betsy Fauntleroy:

THE LOVE AFFAIRS OF
GEORGE WASHINGTON
Copyright. lsos, by W. @. Chapman
BY VALERIE HOPE

We are SO accustomed to pictures
of George Washington in a rigid atti-
tude, with sternly compressed lips
and generally forbidding expression,
that we forget he was ever young and
human being of flesh and blood like
the rest of us.
Instead of being a cold-blooded
prig Washington was magnetic in per
sonality and great social fayorite.
He was the finest horseman in Vir.
ginia. an exceedingly graceful dancer
and a dandy in ruffles, gold lace. vel
vet, silk stockings and diamond
buckles, who caused furry in femi-
nine hearts whenever he appeared.
Young Washington was always fall
ing in love, and after his engagement
to Mrs. Custis was announced his

grating his teeth in despair, Just like
any young American lover in these
days! 1t is amusing now, but at that
time it was very serious matter to
George Washington! Not much is
known of this courtship, and soon
after he lost his heart to Miss IIwcy
Grymes, whom he often referred to
afterward as his "Lowland Beauty"
About this time Washington wrote
letter to Dear Sally" in which he
said: Il am almost discouraged from
writing to you as this is my fourth to
you since I reed any from yourself. 1

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

For clothes that fade, put one ounce

water in which meat or fowls are
boiled makes them tender.
To clean decanters put teaspoon
full of salt in each decanter, moisten

with cold water.
When mixtures have been burned in
granite ware half fill the utensil with
cold water and add little washing
soda or soap powder. Heat slowly
to the boiling point, then empty and
wash as usual.
When a broom is beyond use for

WHEN CARPET BECOMES BARE
Devices by Which Its Usefulness May
Be Prolonged.

In the case of a bare carpet three
courses may be followed A new one
may be substituted, the old one being
relegated to a room of less conse-
quence; or square may be put on top
of the old; or manipulation of the
widths may be attempted, banishing
the worn parts to obscure corners un-
derneath rugs or pieces of furniture.
where they will scarcely be seen and
not trodden upon.
A word of advice may here be given
about regulating the wear of stair car
pet.
Each length of it should always be
at least half yard longer than actual
ly required. to permit of changing the
tread. In laying such a carpet for the
first time have the surplus half yard
at the top.
After the first time it is taken up,
when relaying pull it over the step a
few inches, and SO on until the surplus
half yard is all at the bottom; then
the carpet could be reversed and this
process repeated. with the result that
some years will be added to the life
of the carpet.

VEGETABLES IN NEW euIsE.
Appetizins Ways of Preparing tho
Odds and Ends.

To serve cold turnips attractively
heat a cupful of soup or good stock
add a cupful of bread crumbs and sim.
mer for five minutes. Add the mashed
turnips, two or three tablespoonfuls
of cream and the requisite amount of
salt and pepper. When thoroughly
hot turn in the beaten yolk of an egg :;
cook for a minute or two longer and
serve quickly.
If some of the large stalks of eel
cry have been left from dinner and
the cook does not desire to make them
into soup stew them until tender in
slightly salted water; then drain them
through colander and chop fine. Add
cream, melted butter beaten egg, and
salt to taste, and to each pint of the
mixture one level teaspoonful of ba-
king powder that has previously been
sifted into a little flour. If the batter
is not of proper consistency, a little
more flour may be added, for the mix
ture must be thick enough to drop
properly from the end of spoon into
the deep fat in which it should be
fried.
Even the radishes left on the table
may be served attractively if this
formula is followed Let them cook
until tender in just enough boiling
water to cover them. Keep the sauce
pan securely covered until the rad
ishes are done; then uncover and re-
duce the liquor one-half. Add an
equal quantity of milk, and, when at
the point of boiling, stir in the neces-
sary amount of -four and butter to
thicken the sauce appropriately. If
you have never tried this experiment
in cooking radishes the result will be
certain to prove pleasing surprise.

In a soft lulling sleep and gentle reposs
Possess those joys denied by Day"
There is a letter on record in which
Washington asked Mr.. Fauntleroy's
permission to make a proposal of mar
riage to his daughter 'in the hope of
a revocation of former cruel SEN
tence." But the fathers reply was
unfavorable, as usual, and Miss Betsy

Williamsburg. 1t is a tradition of

ing to this romance years after, when
the naughty creature who had spurned
the hand Of the commander of the
American forces was arrested as an
English spy She was thrown into
prison and all of her property was
confiscated.
Washington was too wise to turn
into a woman hater merely because
he had been thrown down three times
in succession. He knew there were
plenty of pretty fish in the aquarium
and that it would be only matter of
time when he'd make a good catch.
That time came just two years after
he was Tilted by Miss Phillipse, and
it happened in this way: Col. Wash
ington was on his way to Williams
burg on official business, and while
crossing Williams ferry was accosted
by a hospitable old gentleman, who

in the neighborhood. The colonel
answered that his pressing business
would not permit the time. But, as
an inducement, the old gentleman
mentioned that among the guests at
his house was the handsomest young
widow in all Virginia! That changed
matters. The young colonel smiled,
hesitated. and then-well, then he

Mrs. Martha Parke Custis, and we
can imagine the coy glances of this
enticing young creature, for 1t was a
case of love at first sight And in
stead Of getting away in a few hours

persuading him to stay until the next
day.

pitious reception awaited him, for on
the way to the house he asked a slave
If Mrs. Custis was at home, and he
said, "Yes. sab, 1 reckon you'se the
gentleman what's 'spected." They
did not meet again till their marriage
six months later.
At that time Martha Custis was 27
years old-just three months younger
than her fiance. She was short, had
eyes that snapped, her manner was
very gay, and she was thought by
some to be the most beautiful woman
in America. She was the wealthiest
woman in the old dominion and the
mother Of four children, two of whom
were living. The marriage took place
at the houe Of the bride in January,
1859. The exact date is uncertain.

Things grow old and stale. not be-
cause they are old. but because we
cease to see them. Whole vibrant
worlds around Us disappear within the
somber mists Of familiarity. Whichever
way we look the roads are dull and
barren. There is a tree at our gate
we have not seen in years; a flower
blooms in our dooryard more wonder
full than the shining heights of the

them and wear little sure channels

wearies them; and that is old age"'-
