Washington.-The National muse
from the monumental brasses of the
Washington family in S%ulgrave and
Brington, England, collected and pre-
sented by Mrs. A. T. Robertson of
Washington, d. C.
The fact that the history OF the
family of George Washington is well
known and fully recorded in England
Is brought to notice by the brass me-
MORALS and inscriptions still to be
seen in the old English church and
manor OF Sulgrave and Brington, Eng
land. 1t was in this village that Lau-
renee Washington and his family
lived for three generations, previous
to their removal to Brington.
The Washington house, originally
a monastery, is now the manor house
Of the village of Sulgrave. 1t was
granted to Laurence Washington, the
mayor OF Northampton, by Henry
VIII, In the year 1888, upon the dis
solution OF the monasteries. Over
the entrance Is carved the Washing
ton coat-of-arms, we'll known to every
American citizen.
The old church Of St. Mary, where
the family worshiped for years, is
hear by. and forms a point Of consid-
cradle interest, containing, as 1t does,
three memorial brasses on the gray
stone slab put down in memory Of
Laurence Washington and his family.
These brasses consist of Laurence
Washington's ef1gy, a shield bearing
the Washington arms, and the follow
ing inscription:
Here lies inferred We bodies of

KNITTED SUITS ALWAYS GOOD
Probably the Most Practical and Com
Portable Garment That q Child
Can Wear.

There is slight tendency in the d.
rection Of overdressing children Just
now. Every now and then this ten.
dency arises. only to be annihilated
by the fact that there are few women
80 silly that they will overdress their
children. whatever they may do them
selves. Children are not Independent
OF fashion. but certainly they are not
dependent on It.
Real torture may be inflicted on q
sensitive child by dressing her in out
OF date and clumsy garments when all
her school fellows arc daintily clothed.
But what ar" wanted are not up.tO.
date things, bat simple and pretty
things.
The rise Of the knitted coat for
adults has led directly to the use of
knitted suits Toe children They are
very comfortable, very warm, and as
durable as anything can be that is sub.
mitted to the extreme chances of
child's day. For very small boys lit
tie kEickcrs ard jerseys Of knitted
wool are the mos! practical of gar.
ments, especially for fat little boys,
who will come through any non.elas.
tic fabric much quicker than they will
come through kutted wool.
