When we were young our father
told US that wine, woman and song was

Therefore we cut out the song. Lately
we have been compelled to cut out
the wine and unless the supreme
court hands down a decision to the
contrary will probably continue to lay
off the wine. And now if equal suf-

Famous Carlyle House.
The market where Washington sent
his farm products lay right in the
heart of Alexandria and upon square
ol.,,,+ x,-I,;ab stood some re +t,o fovyn,s,
most noted residences and landmarks.
Among these was the Carlyle house,
and despite the passage of time and
the physical changes wrought in that
quaint Virginia city, this historic home
survives intact today. The Carlyle
house is intimately identified with
Washington's career and particularly
with the very beginning of his mill
tacy calling.

had stood guard against the Indians
for the protection of English traders
on Hunting Creek. as the place was
then known. The barracks of that adj
vance post of civilization became the
cellar of the Carlyle house, and there
in its cool shadows was stored the
mellow wine that tickled the palates
of those days. From the heavy beams
overhead hung pendant the luscious
hams for which Virginia is still noted.
Another part of the old fort supports

house was filed. Washington was a
very frequent guest at the Carlyle
house and one can easily imagine the
part he played in that atmosphere of
bounteous hospitality and courtly
grace
Tradition has it that it was in that
very house that Washington met one
of his few defeats. On the right of
the broad hallway is what was once
a drawing room, said to have been fin
ished originally in white and gold, and
there on many occasions Washington
took an active part in the social fes-
Notwithstanding many fair Virgin
ian through the stately minuet and the
less formal reel. The hallway, itself,
if tradition be correct, has it's own
sentimental interest, for it was at the
foot of the beautiful staircase Of solid
mahogany that Washington awaited
the coming of lovely Sally Fairfax
upon a certain evening, and, while es-
eorting her to the ballroom, offered
that lady, his heart and was refused.
On the opposite side of this same
hall is the ''blue and white ROOM"
which was John Carlyle's particular
retreat or sanctum. That room is of
especial interest to us as nation, for
it was there that Washington re-
ceived his commission as a member
of General Braddock's staff in 1855.
What Washington learned upon that
disastrous campaign against the In
dians and with British soldiers taught
him much which later he put to good
service in behalf Of his country
Braddock Took Possession.
When Braddock arrived he accept
ed the proffered hospitality of John
Carlyle and established headquarters
there. The little blue and white room
became the military council chamber,
and it was there that the plans were
made for the campaign. Washington's
previous experience as leader of Vir-
ginia troops against the savages made
him all the more welcome at the con-
ferences and his keen judgment and
practical advice earned for him Brad
docks admiration and won for him his
colonelcy upon the generals staff.
We who count our dollars and make
our purchases in hard coin but little
realize the part the "vile weed" played
in all commercial transactions in Vir-
ginia $50 years ago. The fragrant
OronokO tobacco had a fame which
reached to Europe, and this was the
common medium of exchange. The
incense of this leaf as it We're, bought
the English bricks with which old
Christ church in Alexandria was built
in 1773. The church was designed. so
it has been said, by one James Wren,
reputed to have been relative of the
architect of London's famous st.
Paurs. Washington worshiped at
Christ church. History tells us that
it was within the shadow of that sa-
cred structure, after services one Sun
day morning in the summer of 1774
that he earnestly advocated the renun-
citation Of allegiance to the king of Eng
land Always deliberate and intensely
devout, one can gather something of the
spell which his words must have cast
upon his fellow churchmen upon that
occasion.
There are many houses in Alexan-

when Washington was in their midst
and closely identified with them not
only socially but officially intermit-
tently during his youth and just prior
to his death.
