young blOoCS of the --=="
 time. His suit of
 blue cloth. The coat showed rich lining of red silk and boasted many silver ornaments. white satin waistcoat, gold knee buckles and powdered hair completed his costume.
 The bride wore d huge white satin petticoat quilted and peated beyond belief. Her heavily corded white silk overdress was the richest that the colony had ever known. Diamonds bazed from her hands and braids of pearls hung from her patrican neck
 Bridesmaids and groomsmen were core spondingly arrayed in the height Of the latest fashion that was brought over from the Eng fish court by fine gentlemen and ladies, who not infrequently were coming to America then, and by colonial gentlemen who often accom- panied their precious cargoes of tobacco to the mother country and bought with the proceeds the richest raiment.
 After the Rev. John Mossum had performed the ceremony that united the pair the gay cavalcade formed that was to wind Its way back to the white house." where the feasting and merrymaking was to take place. The newly-made Mrs Martha Washington and her three bridesmaids were placed by gallant hands in the finest chariot in Virginia, drawn bv six white horses. These were driven by positions in livery, each man driving span, one of which he rode. When with much clank- ing and jnging of bells the procession start ed the groom and all his assistants and the gay company sprang to saddle and formed the escort with outriders and followers and gal: lants yieing with one another for position by the carriage door.
 The week of gayety that followed culminat- ed with visit to the house of burgesses then in session in Williamsport, and member of which Col. Washington had recently been chosen. The young officer was quite the hero of the hour for he had returned from the wars laden with honors and his personal social conquests had been climaxed by his marriage with Mrs. Custis, whose popularity was/wide- spread But on the visit to the house of bur- gesses the young officer was entirely put to rout and overcome by his great modesty
 With Col. Washington, his bride and the entire party occupying seats of honor in the legislative chamber the speaker MT. Robinson arose and presented a note framed by the house expressing the appreciation of that body of Col Washington's services in the warmest of terms. The speaker grew grandiloquent in his praise of the young officer and bridegroom, and when he had closed his remarks Washington arose to respond. He was greeted by storms of applause and became so confused that when he was given opportunity to express his appreciation he could but stammer unintel- lgby and find no words in which to express himself. The speaker came to his relief and closed the incident by saying:
 Sit down, MT. Washington, your modesty equals your valor and that surpasses- the pow CT of any language I possess

mansion by the Potomac which has since be. come historic
 Washington was of wealth already in his own name, for he had acquired much land in his mapping and surveying of the country, and the estates on the Potomac were in themselves valuable and yielded annually handsome returns in tobacco.
 Col Daniel Parke Custis, the first husband of Mrs. Washington had been of the kings counselor and a man of wealth. Upon his death he had left to his wife and two chil- dren his landed estates and G45,000 in cash. This latter was in itself a stupendous fortune at that time, when money had purchasing power many times great at present Two-thirds of this was held in trust for the children, but sufficient of it went direct to Washington to make him one of the wealthiest men in America at that time.
 The even tenor of the life of quiet which filled the next IT years at Mount Vernon is shown in the frequent passages in the diary that Washington kept. beginning with the new year following his marriage In all that grace and hospitality of those days Martha exCefled and they said in Virginia there no place like Washington's as social center. There were almost always to be found as guests the Fairfaxes, the Lees, the Custises, the Fftz hughs and others whose names live, not only in the records of those days, but also to-day as typical of the old aristocracy of the colony
 Washington in his diary on the first anniver sary of his wedding fails to recall any par tcular significance of the day, as he says:
 "The chariot not returning in time from Col FairfaXs we were prevented from church. Mrs Washington was good deal better to- day (she had the measles), but the oysterman, still continuing his disorderly behavior at my landing, l was obliged in the most peremptory manner to order him and his company away, which he did not incline to obeys until the fol lowing morning."
 A little later he writes, wrapped up in do- mestic affairs;
 Got a little butter from Mr. Dalton and wrote to Col. West for pork And again: Visited at Belvour day, carrying Dr. Craik with us, who spent the evening there." Later: Killed IT more hogs, which bought by Mr. French. Visited my plantation, severely reprimanding young Stephen for his indolence and his father for suffering it''
 On the whole Squire Washington and his bride after their wedding dropped into that form of life which most appealed to him and

HORACE FLETCHER WILL TEACH
 CHILDREN TO CHEW.
Is Exponent of Thorough Mastcatlon and Will Spread Knowledge of Proper Nutrition in Tenement
 District of New York.

New York-Six flights up in an East side tenement in New York city is liv- ing wealthy maa who has given up the comfort and pleasures ofta palatial home in Venice to bring more health and happiness into the lives of the children of the district i'll which he now resides.
 He is Horace Fletcher, socioloSist, writer, philanthropist and globe trot- ter; native of Lawrence, Mass, and the originator of ''fletcherisnl.
 : Now in his sixtieth year. MT, Fetch CT has voluntarily given up his life of ease in Venice and has settled down in the East side to teach the young there his gospel of the proper masti- cation of food A couple of weeks ago he was living at the WaldorfAstoria, now he has to climb 90 separate, steps to reach his rooms on the top floor of 331 East Thirty-first street.

a bearer of messages from the field of war to the capital, by the blandishments of the future ms- tress of Mt Vernon.
 Washington at this particular time, and prob ably through the influence of. his fancee, decided to retire from the army and settle down on his farm on the Potomac and incidentally enter poli- tics. Upon the force of this declaration he was chosen a member of the coony's house of bur gesses while he was yet in the field, for he was retained there until the end of 175S and ihs we'd ding was accordingly greatly delayed.
 There is little of the correspondence that passed between Martha Custis and George Wash ngton in existence for the very good reason that it was all burned by the lady after the death Of her spouse she holding that it was sacred be- tween them and should never be made public. one letter is found, however, that may evlnce something of the spirit of Washington in writing to his future wife, it being somewhat of a model in it's way. yet less loquacous than might have been expected. He wrote her on July ?, after they had become engaged, as follows:
 We have begun march for Ohio. A courier is starting for Williamsburg and l embrace the opportunity to send few words to one whose life is now inseparable from mine. Since that happy hour when made pledges to each other my thoughts have been constantly going to you as another self. That an alpowerfu Provi- dence may keep both in safety E the prayer of your ever afectonate and faithful friend
 Contrasting quite forcefully with this letter is one written two months later from the field also, but to Mrs George William Fairfax, the wife of family friend, but despite this the object of probably the only infatuaten that Washington ever had. He says in part: e-
 "'Tis true I profess myself votary of love- I acknowledge that lady is in the case and further I confess that this lady is known to you. Yes, madam as well she is to one who Is toe sensible of her charms to deny the power whose influence he feels and must submit to-

 You have drawn me dear madam, or rather have drawn myself into an honest confession of a simple fact. Misconstrue not my meaning doubt it not or expose it. The world has no busi- ness to know the object of my love- declared in this manner to you when l want you to conceal n But adieu to this till happier times, if ever shall see them The hours at present are melancholy and dull. l dare to believe you are as happy as you say. l wish l was happy also"
 This letter was found in the effects of Mrs. Fairfax who died in England at the ripe old age of S2 It is taken to reveal sadness in the life of the first president and unrequited love-or by some it is taken as evidence that he was something of gay Lotharo who might say many things to a fair lady and not mean them.
 There nothing of sadness about Col. Wash ington when, at the holiday session of 1T58, he returned 10 Williamsport and preparations were made for the wedding so long delayed. On Janu- ary 6, 1T59, the day was clear and cold, when

 He thoroughly believes in beginning with the children and says that sloven ly parents when they see the child at tempting to be neat and cleanly invol- untarily attempt to live up to the standard brought home by the chil- dren. He does not care to form any special organization for the pushing of his ideas as to the dietary care. but intends to use the existing organiza- tions at work in that section of New York

 These things led him to a systematic study of relief. and the result was fletcherism. He found the system of thoroughly chewing everything he ate and slowly slipping what he drank toned up his system wonderfully. It did more for on his fiftieth birthday anni- versary-he was born in Lawrence in 1849--he rode 190 miles on a bicycle without any training and without ap- parent exhaustion.
 Six years ago at Yale university he, without any training whatever, broke the university record for an endurance test, just doubling the best record made in the famed university prior to that time.
 And now in his sixtieth year MT. Fletcher thinks nothing of the 90 steps ne has to traverse to reach his rooms in the East side tenement in New York. There is no electric catch to the street door, and when he has a visitor or his bell rings he must tramp down and up the stairs each time, and he does it several times ill a few mo- ments without the least indication of being "wnded" or troubled by the cx. ertion.

From this home the Potomac and from his wife's side Washington was called to be come commander-in-chief of the American ar my in the revolution; to this home he returned when the struggle was won; and from this home he again called as the first president of the United States. Again he returned to this peaceful spot, forever apart from public life, to pass the few remaining years in hap. piness with his wife never to leave it until death beckoned him away.
 And from this home on the Potomac, where obscure grave held the remains Of the great. est man of his time from amid the scenes of her happest days, of days of honeymooning and days of strife, the spirit of Martha Wash ingtOn called.
 Washington with the colonial army was campaigning in the far west fighting the In. dians and the French. and in a lull in the fighting he made dash for the capital at Williamsport. When within a few hours ride of that town he met casually Maj. William. Chamberlayne, an old time comrade at-arms and bosom friend. The major urged that ths sscolonel turn aside, as dark was approaching. and spend the night with him. ,7., zs
 Maj. Chamberayne insisted and as a final inducement said that the most charming wid. ow in all Virginia was visiting at his planta- tion and that her charms were well worth the delay. With some barley, it is recorded, Wash d saying that he would ride later at night
 That night Bishop, Col Washingtons huge and faithful negro body servant, kept the horses saddled and ready for continuation of the Journey through the night and was only occasionally awakened from his noddng by the sounds of revelry from the mansion, for there was large house party being enter tained and the spirit of the vital new country ran high.
 Certain it is that the sun was rising when Washington burst from the house, vaulted into his saddle and spurred to the capital with. out having closed his eyes in sleep that night
 Certain is it also that no sooner had his business been accomplished than he responded to an invitation sent him from the "White House. on the Pamunky river and that DOT. tion of Virginia knew him almost constantly through the months that followed.
 Certain it is that when he returned to his command in May, 175S, he did so with the promise of the widow Custis that they should be married and that as promptly as he could be relieved from duty the frontier
