their absence: no furnace heated the mansion
(there We're no stoves, indeed), and the only H.
Illumination In the evening was furnished by can
dies. Yet, as things went in those days, this was
a luxurious establishment.
The Christmas dinner was at 3 o'clock in the
banquet hall" and probably twenty-five or thirty
people sat down to the repast. The table was
covered with a snowy damask cloth, and there
were fine linen Eapkins-both being luxuries rath-
er exceptional in those days. But this was by no
means all. There was a handsome service of
pure silver. most of which had belonged to the
widow Custis when she married Mr.. Washington.
and also there was a big display of cut glass even
more precious. Most remarkable of all, however.
there were real silver forks-a rarity indeed!
Ladies and gentlemen ate with their knives Ia
those days in a way that would now be consid-
cred shocking. 1t was a matter almost of neces-
sity, inasmuch as the forks they used, which had
only three tines, did not serve very well for some
purposes, such as the carrying of peas to the
mouth, for example. 1t is painful to think Of the
Father of His Country at his Christmas dinner
putting his knife into the mouth. but there is no
doubt that he did so. Another oddly. as now
adaya It would be considered, was the arrange
naenf of the table, upon which all the dishes to
be served. including even the buildings and pies.
were placed at once. No wonder that in those
times . festive board was said to 'groan" beneath
the weight of the viands!
