~ impressed not only upon
her son George, but upon her daugh'
ter Betty. When the brother had be-
come commander in chief Of the Con-
tinental army Betty, then the wife OF
Col Fielding Lewis, used to amuse
her friends by dressing up" in the
great mans military hat and cloak,
and it was the general verdict that
when she was so disguised nobody
could tell her from George.
How much of his character was de-
rived from the same source is in
doubt, because so little is known Of
his mother and her family.
Mary Ball was the granddaughter Of
a soldier who sought his fortune In
Virginia in the latter part OF the sew.
enteenth century, and settled at the
mouth of the River Corotoman, in
Lancaster county. This Col. William
Ball may have been a good soldier, but
was an Indifferent farmer. He left
two sons, William and Joseph, and the
latter was the father of Mary.
When her sons fame attracted at
tention to her, and inquiries began to
be made about her youth, most OF
those who could testify about it had
passed away, and those who remained
could tell little. But upon one point
there was unanimous agreement, and
that was that in her girlhood she was
celebrated for her beauty-was even
styled the bell of Northern Neck"
But It was mainly her character which
had impressed them, and they de-
scribed her as "high-spirited, yet
Of great simplicity Of manners. un-
common strength Of mind and decision
o. character" That remained a good
description Of her to the end Of her
days, and these traits were her gifts
to her son.
She was an awe-inspiring person, as
was her son later in life, though prob
ably neither Of them had the least idea
of the fact that most OF those with
whom they came in contact stood
somewhat in fear of them. This fear
did not prevent people from liking
Mrs. Washington any more than 1t
afterward prevented them from liking
her son.
Yet contemporary called her course
with her son George fond and I'M
thinking" He was her favorite child.
All through her life she struggled
desperately to keep him from the dan
gerous path Of glory. She cared moth
ing for his achievements and proba-
bly, did not understand their impor-
lance; certainly she did not under
stand his fame. Each time he entered
upon a new venture she saw only, as
she heart-brokenly expressed it, more
fighting, more bloodshed." Whether
or not her course with him as a boy
was fond and unthinking," 1t surely
merited that description in his man.
hood.
But the first manifestation of this
spirit resulted in her rendering an
inestimable service to mankind. When
George was fourteen he wanted to
enter the navy, and his half-brothers
and their friends, men OF the world |
and Lawrence, a man of naval ex-
perIence, were eager for him to do So |
The mother opposed 1t, but the
arguments Of her seasoned and ex-
perienced friends overcame her

They are probably doing better
among the women. Under the leader
ship of an ambitious hostess they may
even venture upon little intellectual
conversation about some popular play
or Shaw's latest paradox.
In years gone by, in the temerity OF
youth, ! have dared to beard the
American lion of a business man with
some simple inquiry about business,
usually to be rebuffed by n stony stare
or a suspicious glance. Why was
trying to make him give himself
away" Didn't | know that the first
principle of the successful business
man is never to talk? First, never TO
talk about what he doesn't know from
actual experience, because he might
make himself Ridiculous secondly
never to talk about what he does
know, because he might be giving
something away"
Yet the best stuff for conversation
is what one doesn't know about, be-
cause then the mind is freed from re-
spOnsibility and given rein to fancy,
invention, embroidery or all sorts ana
the next best subject Is what one does
know from actual experience, because
this reveals the treasures of personal
ity, the true self. These honest men
of affairs secretly hid the treas
ures OF their experience from one an
other. | suspect they hid their ideas
from themselves. They drank their
coffee and smoked in portentous
silence-or told more stories. alas!-

The Managers Difficulties.
This without a doubt is what causes
the greatest difficulty in running the
Senate lunchroom with any sort of Sc
curity one day there is so much
business going on up in the Senate
chamber that the members can hardly
get away even for a few minutes. As
a result the supply of food on hand is
entirely too large. The next day the
manager may think that the same
state of affairs has lasted over, and
he prepares only for a lean day. And
then. more often than not. business
on the Senate floor is slack and the
hungry hordes descend in a body

Toilette is fond OF old cheese and a
special kind Of milk. In most in
stances the following rule is pretty
closely followed: The bigger the man.
the smaller the meal. But, of course,
this rule has exceptions, as all rules
do. Senator Penrose eats steak and
roast beef, and 1t is claimed that for
years he ate a four-dollar breakfast
every morning. Senator Ollie James.
of Kentucky. is a big man, the big
gest man in the Senate. and he is
also the biggest eater. Senator James
thinks there is no meat comparable
with the real old Kentucky ham, and
another favorite dish of his is Ken

gether for a long time such meats as
chicken, squirrel. wild duck, rabbit,
turkey and others. When Uncle joe

Rules Of the Senate. unable to find a
man who was willing TO take the risk,
ran the lunchroom itself-and did so
at loss.
The senator likes TO have his own
particular seat in the lunchroom every
day. and he also wants the same
waiter, who has usually learned to an
ticipate his wants and thus give him
more leisure for his thoughts or for
the conversation with friends There
is no doubt that the senator likes a
certain amount of exclusiveness, and
il naturally rather puts him out TO
find his particular table taken by out
siders, perhaps by members from the
House OF Representatives side of the
Capitol. who quite frequently come
over for lunch; but in the private din
ing room he need not have fear OF
this.
Senators Light Eaters.
Senators are notoriously light eat
ers at noon, and unless Congress does
not adjourn until late, noon is the time
when they most often eat at the Cap
ftol. Senator Lodges lunch usually
consists of something like an imported
sardine: Senator Burton. OF Ohio, eats
bread and milk. while Senator la
