recount the events of the most stirring periods in
the history of the respective regions where they
are presented. However, the latest leaning seems
to be toward Greek plays. original or otherwise.
Undoubtedly the flowing costumes Of the Grecian
mode lend themselves to graceful posing and the
current popularity of classical dancing has helped
some. Among the women prominent In the produc-

At the height of Washington's fame
there were those who carped and crit
icised to some extent, warning him
that being a celebrity was a precari-
Gus thing and that he should be most
careful, lest he do or say something
that would turn the tide of popular
favor against him. To these admoni-

Richmond, Va.-The purchase of the
Van Lew house by the city of Rich

building seals it's fate, and the
Richmond home of Elizabeth Van
Lew, "the woman who more
than any other aided the United
States government during the Civil

In 1924 Lafayette was the house
guest of DR.. Adams, former mayor
of Richmond, who built the house
while Chief Justice Marshall, Gov
ernor Smith-one of the victims OF
the burning of the Richmond theater
in 1811-with the like were frequent
visitors there. In 1S43 1t was bought
by John Van Lew of New York, then

While the Federal army hovered
about Richmond Miss Van Lew

commanders and flowers cut from
