VIII Restore

Occupants of "Marnsion'
To SerDe Suppers to
Obtain Funds.

Apropos Of the plan Of the Ken
more Association to restore and
preserve Kenmore" once the home
Of George washington's sister.
Betty Washington Lewis. the state
ment made recently by a prominent
educator that "a person who Is not
interested in his ancestry Is not In
terested in posterity," is called TO
mind. BY this remark the speaker
sought to convince that knowl-
edge and consideration of ones
past are beneficial to ones future
OF course there is such a thing as
individuals and nations cl.nging so
tenaciously to the past and being
Influenced so thoroughly by Its
tenets that progressive development
Is hampered to the detriment alike
OF individuals and nations.
Ask Financial Support.
Assuming. however. that a few
well-cared-for memorials OF the
early life of our country indicate
only a sane. healthy interest In cur
past, It is likely that the efforts of
the Kenmore Association will meet
with general approval and, II Is
hoped. with financial support. The
Vice President and Mrs. Coolidge
attended few weeks ago the open
ing of the campaign. to raise the
money necessary for the purchase
and preservation of this memorial,
which is located near Fredericks-
burg, Va.
Already the association has raised
$1,000 of the $4,000 necessary for
the first payment, which must be
made within a few weeks. But, as
often happens in raising money. for
such purposes. the first few thou
sands were the easiest. Then, after
the first payment Is made, there
must be others until the total sum
OF $4,000 is paid.
AS a means for aiding in the col
lection Of this amount the occu-
pants of 'Marmion." the beautiful
old colonial place near Fredericks-
burg, will serve suppers there for
a nominal sum. beginning Monday
evening. August Z, and continuing
throughout the week.

Miss Mock was fortunate in hav-
ing secured for the memorial
Joseph Penneil. whistler's best
fiend. and one of the worlds fore
most living artists. who has Just
returned from an extended sojourn
In the art centers Of Europe. He
came down from New York espe-
cially to assist in honoring the
memory of his former friend and
co-worker whom he characterized
'.the greatest artist America has
produced or perhaps ever would
produce. and one of the leading
artists of all time"
Mr.. Pennell said that neither
America nor England had appre-
ciated Whistler's genius during his
lifetime. and that no commissions
for portraits were given him by
American Presidents or even by a
Congressman Of either house, and
that the only crowned head to
recognize his rare genius was Phil
lip " Of Spain, who gave him a
commission for his portrait. Mr..
Pennell in commenting said. I'VE
do not know what Phillip " did.
but we do know what he looked
like, thanks to whistler"
1t was regretted that the rain
storm on Monday afternoon pre-
vented the party from going to
the Library OF Congress nearby to
view the famous Pennell collection
OF Whistleriana with Mr.. Pennell

derful collection he presented last
