How often do wives forget to take pains
to make themselves as attractive as
the sweethearts or the brides were Is
1t any wonder that mans finer sensi-

at breakfast in any old dress and with
her hair put up in curriers'?

ried and he cannot be blamed II he is
angry when he is thus flagrantly dis
regarded. Also. the workingman who
comes home In the evening and finds his
house dirty, his children crying and his
table unattractive. is justified when he
goes out to one of these warm, CHEEKY
public houses-you call them saloons-to
spend his evening with sociable COM
panions.

for it. II they make their home their big

The house in which Lawrence Wash
ington lives, though about, as already
said, three miles from the site Of the
house in which George Washington was
born. is considerably nearer what is be-
lieved to be the site of the house which
was erected on these lands by the first
Washington to settle in the colony of
Virginia
Through these Washington lands flow
two streams. Popes creek and Bridge
creek. They empty into the Potomac
river somewhat more than mile and
half apart. In the lifetime of George
Washington he made many references to
the Popes creek farm and to the house
on Popes creek. and it should be remem-
bered that the monument marking the
site of the house in which George
Washington was born stands in a field

stead on Bridge creek This stream,
like Popes creek. rises in the woods of
the northern neck of Virginia, along the
watershed which divides the flow of
streams from the Rappahannock and
the Potomac. It twists along through
fields and woods and swamps upgrown
in gum and holly until it falls into
the Potomac. 1t is believed that the
first of the Washington houses stood on
some high land overlooking the mouth
of this creek. Bits OF crockery and
ash have been found there, and the
vegetation indicates that a human habi-
tation stood there.
The first Washington to settle in these
parts was John, who in 1862 bought a

a miss whom he wrote of as his Low
land Beauty. and who became the
mother of Light Horse Harry Lee, and
with other young ladies, but he did not
marry one of them. 1t may be that they
rejected him. but George Washington was
of a good old family, not as aristocratic,
whatever that means. as some other Vir-
gnia families of that time; he was q
tolerably well favored young man; he had
a good estate, the Stafford county farm

George was quite a catch and there is no
doubt that many colonial maiden made
ewes at him and set her cap for him.
but when it got down to the question OF
marrying, George fell before rich
widow Mrs Gusts had been. as Mar
tina cambridge, charming girl IN VII
liamsburg society. and as young
widow she was just as captivating and
much more experienced. and besides, MT
Custis had left her rich in lands ana

marriage was a success. / have no doubt
that there were some poetry and romance
mixed in with the ceremony, but there
was a good deal of business Judgment
in it also.

Mind you we do not think our great
kinsman, George Washington, was a
selfish or a designing man out OF the
ordinary. Before he became Industrious
he was recognized as good man. he
went TO church Sunday, he was a vestry-
man at Pohick. he read the Bible, said
evening prayers and offered grace at
meals. Most of the solid citizens of Vir-
ginia in his time did the same things,
and l guess nearly all OF them gambled
at cards, bet on horse races bought lot
terry tickets, bought and sold slaves,
drank brandy and wine, snuffed and
smoked and swore. Such things were not
considered wrong then. Our notions Of
high morality have undergone some
changes in the last hundred or SO years.
-Of course a great many people have
come to think of George Washington as
n marble statue, cold. pious and passion
less They make out that he was a saint
WELL he wasn't. There never was
Washington who was saint All the
