house was filled. Washington was a
very frequent guest ut 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 1t was In that
very house that Washington met one
of his few defeats. On the right of
the broad hallway Is what was once

there on many occasions Washington
took an active part In the social fes-

If tradition be correct, has its own
sentimental interest, for it was Mt the
foot of the beautiful staircase of solid
mahogany that Washington awaited
the coming OF lovely Sally Fairfax
upon certain evening, and, while es-
corting her to the ballroom, offered
Tint 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
1t was there that Washington re-
ceived his commission as 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 1t was there that the plans were
made for the campaign. Washlngton's
previous experience as leader of Vir-
GINA 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.

too much wit to look for happiness

Famous Carlyle House.
The market where Washington sent
his farm products lay right in the
heart of Alexandria and upon a square
about which stood some OF the towns
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
WHshingtons career and particularly
with the very beginning of his mill
tary calling.

building were imported and 50. too the
