constantly at work in what was called the spin.
ning-house." This Industrial annex of the estab-
lishment remains to this day, and visitors at
Mount Vernon are taken by the guides to see the
very room in which the spinning-wheels were
operated.
OF course, there was high festival not only for
the master and his guests, but also for my peo-
pie" as Washington was accustomed to call the
negroes on his estate. He would never have
thought Of speaking Of them as slaves. There
We're at that period about one hundred negroes on
the place, and at the Yuletide season they en-.
joyed exceptional privileges. Good things for
their consumption were distributed with no mig
gard hand by the mistress Of the house, a treat
much appreciated being a drink known as "methig.
ler,' composed of fermented honey, spices, and
water. Another beverage brewed by Mrs. Wash
ington was a sort of peach brandy sweetened with
honey.
Those were days when a capable housewife was
supposed to know how to compound a variety or
beverages. Beer was brewed at Mount Vernon
under Mrs. Washington's own supervision, and
cider as well, the latter being a drink of which
her husband was very fond. He always had it on
the tabla.at~4llnner and would take it freely in
place of the wines which were more to the taste
of his guests.
BY ten o'clock in the evening the festivities OF
Christmas day at Mount Vernon were over. Even

had the fashion of the time been otherwise, Mrs.
Washington would scarcely have tolerated late
hours. She always insisted on putting her nus
band to bed early, and he meekly obeyed. Wheth-
er it be true or not, as some chroniclers have as
serted, that Mr.. Washington was henpecked, it Is
certain that he considered 1t judicious to submit
in most things to his wife's wishes.
The frame for this picture of a Christmas at
Mount Vernon before the Revolution is ready
made; for, thanks to the efforts Of patriotic WON
en-, the old mansion stands today almost exactly
as it was when Washington lived there. There
is much of the old furniture, and even q great
deal of the old china and glassware. The house
Is n veritable fragment of American history, and
though more than a century and a quarter has
gone by since the merry Yuletide festival here
described, the imagination readily repeoples thu
old place with its throng of guests, eating, drink
inc, dancing, and making love, and hears the JOY
Gus laughter of the romping young folks, while
through the crowd moves the stately figure of thu
host, who, offering his hand to the ~prettiest CIR
in the room, proceeds to lead her through thu
graceful and decorous steps of a minuet.

which rams underground to a signal
post. This wire Is connected with a
ratchet which revolves the arm on
the signal post, warning any autoist
who may be coming in the opposite di-
rection to wait for the first car to
pass him before he ventures on the
dangerous stretch.
OF course it would be out of the
question to employ here a signal that
had to be reset. The car which set it
might fail to run owe a resetting trig-
ger; and the car coming the other
way could not be left to reset 1t, be-
cause there is not always such a car.
SO advantage is taken of the fact that
while highly dangerous, the narrow
piece Of road is fairly short. The dam
ger indication consists merely in mo-
ton of the signal arm, not in any par
ticular position thereof; and a car
which is neal enough to the signal post
to enable its driver to see such mo-
ton will not reach the curve until the
signaling car has passed off it.
