So we find the susceptible George
interested In three fair damsels at
once: Sally" the "Lowland Beauty"
and Miss Mary Cary. which recalls the
story Of the man who could never
shoot bird. because just as he had
aimed and was ready to shoot at one
bird another bird flew in the way.
In 1853 Lucy Grymes. the Lowland
Beauty, married Henry Lee and be-
came the mother OF "Light.horse
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 a major
and about 20 years old. 1t was ad.
dressed to Miss Betsy Fauntleroy:
"Oh, We Gods why should my Poor Re-
sstless Heart
