Besides receptions, there were
many formal dinners given by the
President and his wife and other en-
tertainments. While In New York
both were fond OF taking trips for a
day or two over on to Long Island,
through Flatbush, Hampstead and
Flushing, or up the Hudson, into
Westchester County, to be free for a
time from the cares OF their position.
Both Washington and his wife were
regular In their church attendance.
They had a pew In old st. Paul's
Episcopal Church, which still stands
on Broadway. Members of his stan
usually accompanied the President to
and from church. When they went
to Philadelphia their social life con-
tihued on much the same lines as be-
fore. Even after Washington's re-
tirement from the presidency a con-
slant stream of visitors to Mount Yer
non kept him in touch with all the
States and with Europe. Here he
led the life OF a~dignified country
gentleman, but never losing interest
in any part of the nation he had
served so well.-The Christian Her

State Of Maryland
RIGHTS OF HUSBANDS.

Annapolis. Judge Thomas deliv.
cred an opinion in the Court of APP
peals bearing upon important ques-
lions in connection with the right of
a divorced husband as holder of
property which had been purchased
by his wife out of funds of her own
and subsequently decided to him.
The decision is in the case of Maria
L. Reed against John A. Reed, APP
pealed from the Circuit Court for
Baltimore County. In the bill of
complaint the appellant sets out that
she was married to the appellee on
September Z, 1894; that after the
chased four lots of ground near Ca
louisville at consideration of $14,-
800, out of her own funds and estate;
that she caused the property to be
conveyed to herself and husband .tas
tenants by entireties" by deed; that
on December IL, 1905, by final de-
cree of the Probate, Divorce and Adj
miralty Division of the High Court of
Justice of England, she was abso-
lutely divorced from the appellee,
to have the property decreed to her
in her own right, free from any in
terest of her former husband.
The theory of the bill was that the
appellant having been divorced, the
mere fact that the property was paid
for out of money belonging, to her is
sufficient to authorize a court of equi-
ty, either under the authority of Ar
ff0ln 4 80 10
Independently of that section, to re-
store the property to her.
In its rulings on the questions the
court says that 1t is clear, from for
mer decisions in this State, that where
wife voluntarily, and without any
fraud or undue influence on the part
of the husband, conveys her property
to him, the effect of a decree of di-
vorce is not to vest in her an equita
bic title to such property. 1t IS
pointed out that evidence was pro-
duced by the plaintiff tending to
show that she was induced against
her will to have the property con-
veyed to her husband by his conduct
and persistent demands from him.
and by the defendant for the purpose
of showing that the conveyance was
the result of her free and voluntary
act; but If the interest of the appellee
in the property referred to was OBJ
tanned by the husband by coercion, or
undue influence brought to bear by
him upon the appellant, it is the
plain duty of a court of equity to
grant the relief prayed The Court
of Appeals fully concurs with the
lower court, that as a result of the
divorce the appellant and appellee
now hold the property as tenants in
common, but for the other reasons
stated the decree is reversed and the
cause remanded, In order that the
bill may be amended and the parties
may produce additional evidence if
they desire to do SO.

Washington gave at least forty-five
sittings to over score of aspirants,
besides posing for several shadow sill

What Did Washington Look Like?

"Napoleon's cynical definition of
history as "a lie agreed upon has a
direct application to the general ac-
ceptance OF a most inaccurate por-
trait of Washington. Whatever the
Father Of his Country may have
looked like, he certainly did not re-
semble the popular Stuart"
This rather startling assertion is
made by William Curtis Taylor the
text of an interesting study. His
method of proof is to secure a scien-
tific confirmation Of the agreements
and comparative effacement of the
disagreements Of the original artists"
for whom Washington actually sat.
After careful study Of over 1000
engravings and a number of original
paintings and various coins at the
mint, a final reference was made to
composite photography, three appli-
cations being made. The selections

William Sullivan. who attended
many of these receptions, has left us
a graphic pen picture of one of them.
''At three o'clock, or at any time
within a quarter of an hour after
ward, the visitor was conducted to
the dining room, from which all seats
had been removed for the time. On
entering, he saw Washington, who
stood always in front of the fireplace,
with his face toward the door OF en-
trance. The visitor was conducted
to him, and he required to have the
name so distinctly pronounced that
he could hear it. He had the very
uncommon faculty of associating a
mans name and his personal appear
ance so durably in his memory as to
be able to call one by name, who
made him a second visit. He re-
ceiyed his visitor with a dignified
bow. while his hands were so dis
posed of as to indicate that the salu-
tation was not to be accompanied
with shaking hands. The ceremony
never occurred in these visits, even
with his most near friends, that no
distinction might be made. AS visit
ors came in, they formed in circle
around the room. At quarter past
three the door was closed and the
circle formed for that day. He then
began on the right, and spoke to each
visitor, calling him by name, and ex-
changing a few words with him.
When he had completed his circuit,
he resumed his first position, and the
visitors approached him in succession,
bowed and retired. BY four o'clock
the ceremony was over"
When Washington drove out 1t was

AGAINST PRIMARY LAW.

Hagerstown. Both the RepubI-
can and Democratic parties have
practically decided to hold their pri-
maries in Washington County this
fall under the old convention sys-
tenn. The new primary law is gen.
orally regarded in this county as
wholly unnecessary, as entire fair
ness has always characterized the
work of the conventions in this mat
ter, no matter what conditions may
have prevailed elsewhere.
1t is calculated that the cost of
holding primaries under the sys-
tenn provided by the new State Pri-
mary law would be about $4,000 in
Washington County.
