Gilbert Smart portrait OF Washington.

III than George Washington: and
iii Al as the years pass and his per-
sonality becomes yet stronger and
clearer with the light of time, interest
IN new objects with which he was
connected becomes more and more
keen.
The latest Washington treasure to
which the public has been given op-
portunity OF paying tribute is a new
loan collection which has recently
been acquired by the National Museum
ut Washington. This exhibition of 1875
objects connected with the daily life
Of the family at Mount Vernon Is one
of the most important which the pub
lie has had chance of viewing for
many years. IT is of especial interest
IN that this is the first time it has been
outside OF private home since 1T
formed part of the furnishings at
Mount Vernon, so the objects present
ed have hitherto been seen only by a
favored few.
