From this home on the Potomac and from
his wife's side Washington was called TO be-
come commander-nchief of the American ar.
my In the revolution; to this home he returned
when the struggle was won; and from this
home he was 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 II until
death beckoned him away.
And from this home on the Potomac where
an obscure grave held the remains OF the great
est man OF his time, from amid the scenes
of her happiest days of days OF honeymooninE
and days of strife, the spirit OF Martha Wash
ington was 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 a dash for the capital at
Williamsport. When within few hours ride
OF that town he met casually Mai William
Chamberlayne, an old time comrade alarms
and bosom friend. The major urged that the
colonel turn aside as dark was approaching,
and spend the night with him.
Mai Chamberlayne insisted and as a nnal
inducement said that the most charming wild
ow in all Virginia was visiting at his planta-
tion and that her charms were we'll worth the
delay With some parey. It is recorded, Wash
ington agreed to turn aside for brief STOP
saying that he would ride later at night.
That night Bishop, Col Washington's huge
and faithful negro body servant, kept the
horses saddled and ready for a continuation OF
the journey through the night and was only
occasionally awakened from HIS nodding by
the sounds Of revelry from the mansion. for
there was large house party being enter
tanned and the spirit OF the vital new country
ran high.
Certain II is that the sun was rising when
Washington burst from the house, vaulted into
his saddle and spurred on to the capital with
out having closed his eyes in sleep that night.
Certain is 1t 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 por-
ton OF Virginia knew him almost constantly
through the months that followed
Certain It is that when he returned to his
command in May. 1853, he did so with the
promise OF the widow Gusts that they should
be married and that as promptly as he could
be relieved from duty on the frontier.

mansion by the Potomac which has since be-
come historic.
Washington was a man 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 a son Of the
kings counselor and man of wealth. Upon
his death he had left to his wife and two chill
dren his landed estates and G45000 in cash
This latter was in itself stupendous fortune
at that time, when money had a purchasing
power many times as great at present
Two-thirds of this was held in trust for the
children, but sufficient of 1t 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 II 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 CT those days Martha excelled
and they said in Virginia there was no place
like Washingtons as a 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
Washington in his diary on the first annIyer
sary of h.z wedding fails to recall any par
ticular signrhSance Of the day, as he says:
THE chariot not returning in time from
Col. Fairfaxs we were prevented from church.
Mrs. Washington was a good deal better to-
day (she had the measles), but the oysterman,
still continuing his disorderly behavior at my
landing was obliged in the most peremptory
manner to order him and his company away,
which he did not incline to obey until the fol-
lowing morning"
little later he writes, wrapped up in do
mestic affairs:
Got little butter from Mr.. Dalton and
wrote to Col West for pork" And again:
Visited at Belvour day carrying DIR. Craik
with us. who spent the evening there" Later:
KILLED II more hogs, which were bought by
Mr. French" visited my plantation,
severely reprimanding young Stephen for his
Incidence and hiE 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

flowers from many different and wide
ly separated parts Of the world mingle

In order To maintain his park, ana
keep all things therein thrifty and
growing, Mr. Edison has equipped IL
with thoroughly up-todate irrigating
plant, one of the best In Florida. Ar
tesian wells with plenty Of pressure
are easy TO find in and around Fort
Myers, and several have been drilled
on his place and the water piped TO all
parts of 1t. The grounds are laid out
in avenues along which the pipes are
strung, with vents every ten or twelve
feet. Each avenue is controlled from
one valve, and the opening OF that
valve starts string OF fountains on
both sides OF the avenue throughout
its entire length. SO well laid out are
these pipe lines that a shower bath
can be administered to nearly every
tree in the park whenever the gard
ener concludes one Is needed.

divides his time between fishing and

In order to enjoy his water front

run a dock out into the river for near.

he has erected a coy little pavilion.
BY the old citizens and residents OF
Fort Myers and by his more immedi.

time. His suit was of
blue cloth The coat showed u rich lining of
red silk and boasted many silver ornaments.
4 white satin waistcoat, gold knee buckles and
powdered hair completed his costume
The bride wore huge white satin petticoat
quilted and pleated beyond belief. Her heavily
corded white silk overdress was the richest
that the colony had ever known. Diamonds
blazed from her hands and braids of pearls
hung from her patrician neck.
bridesmaids and groomsmen were CORE
spondingly arrayed in the height of the latest
fashion that was brought over from the Eng
lish 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
by 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 iinglng of bells the procession start
ed, the groom ana all MS dSSlStdnlS anu lHt
gay company sprang to saddle and formed the
escort with outriders and followers and gal
lants vieing 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 a 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, Mr.. 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 an opportunity to express his
ligibly and find no words in which to express
himself. The speaker came 20 his relief and
closed the incident by saying
sit down, Mr.. Washington, your modesty
equals your valor and that surpasses the pow
er of any language possess"
After the wedding Washington remained
for three months at the white House ON his
wifes estates. and thence accompanied by her
