consolation for the dying. Her own quar-
tiers were filled day after day with the
wives of officers knitting stockings ana
fashioning garments for the soldiers.
But when better times came with the
sprng and the time of senli-Starvatlon
was over. she led in such gayety as the
camp could furnish. The Washington
ca bin was the seat of as open hospital
ity as the case permitted and Mrs. W ash
ington presided at the table with grace
and good cheer. Entertaining was a sec
ond nature to her, and her husband noted
later at Mount Vernon that after they
had been home more than year for
the first time he and Mrs. Washington
dined alone
In camp as at home the Washingtons
were fond of dispensing hospitality.
While at Valley Forge Mrs Washington
wrote to a friend: THE generals apart

cabin to dine in. which has made our
quarters more tolerable than they We're

At Mount Vernon Mrs. Washington was
the typical housewife OF the time. The
great estates were then wholly self-sun-

eliot ring for the family were i'm the main
produced on the plantation. There was
a great workroom in which slaves, direct
ed by the mistress. worked at cutting out
and sewing up the dozens of articles of
clothing needed by the scores of hands
upon tine place. Everything worn by the
general and Mrs Washington too ex-
cept their very best raiment, was made
there.
She herself was always knitting and in
her Workroom she received the ladies of
her acquaintance. but her needles clicked
as the talk went on. One such guest re-
ports her as intoxicating the ha Bit of in

There is indeed lingering a tradition that
Mrs. Washington was apt to teach little
moral lessons in this way and sometimes
enforce her preachings with just a spice
OF temper. from which even the general
was not exempt As she brought him
one of the largest estates in Virginia she
may have felt justified in asserting her
