Mrs. Washington Visits Camp.
The monotony of the long, anxious
season was broken at Cambridge by a
touch now and again of such pleas
ures as spoke Of home and gracious
peace. In midwinter Mrs. Washington
had driven into camp, come all the
way from Virginia, with proper escort
in her coach and four, her horses be-
stridden by black positions in their
livery of scarlet and white; and she
had seemed to bring with her to the
homely place not only the cere-
monious habit, but the genial and hos
pitable air of Virginia as well.
Many a quiet entertainment at head
quarters coaxed little ease of mind
out Of the midst of even that grim and
trying winters work while she was

Washington Ready to Strike.
With the first month of spring
Washington determined to cut inacton
short and make decisive stroke.
He had been leng enough with the
army now to presume upon its conf.

unwilling forests all the way from
Ticonderoga; the supplies and tn

and Chancellor Livingston was finally
broken up. The Chancellor Livings-
ton, a steamer named after Fulton's
famous partner of that name, was one
of the most interesting Of all the
early boats.
1t was designed by Robert Fulton
himself, says Buckman, but the great
inventor died before this steamer was
completed, which was a marked I'M
provement over his previous models.
The Livingston was considered re-
markedly speedy in her day, as she
could make IL miles an hour with the
tide and six against it," The Chancel-
lor Livingston was the fourth steamer
on the river, as the Clermont had been
succeeded by the Car of Neptune and
the Paragon. The Paragon, 1t is re-
corded, was 173 feet long and alter
mated with the Car of Neptune.
One Of the hoodoo boats of the river
was the good ship Victory, which was
built In 1927. Her passengers were so
afraid that her boilers would burst
that sometimes they turned out OF
their berths and spent the night on
one or another of the barges that the
Victory was in the habit Of towing
on her regular passenger trips.
The South America was a famous
old river boat that was built in 1910
for Isaac Newton, of Rensselaer, coun-
ty, who had designed several we'll
known river boats and who was a
power on the river at one time. The
South America was the first boat to
make the run between New York and
Albany In less than eight hours. She
was popular and luxuriously fitted for
her time, and did good service for
"a years, when, toward the close of
the Civil war, she was rebuilt into a
hay barge. In addition to her fame
as a record breaker, she and her con-
sort, the North America, were well
known among rivermen because they
were the first steamers to burn an
thracite. When the old boat had seen
her day and was being transformed
into a humble hay carrier, small boys
used to go in swimming from her side
at Rondout and made use of her state
rooms as bath houses.

WIFE SHOULD KEEP SECRETS

Boston.-"The wise wife never tells

So declared Mrs. Charlotte Smith,
head of the National Homestead asso-
citation. The association is studying

1t was learned that IL wife teAs her
husband everything it is a lesson to
him not to tell her his secrets.
Many divorces are occasicned by
married couples knowing too much OF
each other" declared Mrs. Smith.
When their secrets become known
they magnify them. A wife is really a
fool IL she lets her husband know
everything. 1t is best all around not
to tell ali you know; 1t saves trouble
and heartbreaks. In married life, 81
lence is golden. Don't understand that
l mean husband and wife should do
things on the sly. Not at all. Tell

the lapse of the Mary Powell marks
the close OF them. No blame can be
attached to the old vessel for her dis
