of George Washington lived in the sixteenth eenury It contains bi- ographical details of the Washington family which throw new light on the character of the first President of the United States. It is entirely new and fresh material gleaned from much searching of old records in England and America.
 The old manor house has passed through many vicissitudes since Law renee Washington founded the for tunes of the Washington family there in 1539 when King Henry VIII granted the holdings to him fin chief by military service.' As long ago as that. it will be observed there was martial ability in the Washington family. Before Lawrence Washing ton received Sulgrave manor it had been the property of the monastery of St. Andrew, and under the rehabili. tation which has gone on during re cent years various signs antedatinp even the sixteenth century arehitec- ture have been discovered. Indeed Sulgrave manor is mentioned as fai back as Domesday Book, in the year 1885, when it was held by tenants un- der a Norman named Ghilo.
 Manor House of Today
 It is interesting to observe how the manor house looks today, and Miss Armes has been careful in her little brochure to describe it meticulously Part of her description may be re- printed, for it is quite succinct. She writes.
 Tt is a gabled limestone building two stories high. with dormer win dows, steep stone roof and four great chimneys Under the intelligent ant sympathetic hand of the Englist architect and master craftsman. Sii Reginald Bloomfield. R. A.. directed bN the Sulgrave institution, it is reviv- ing it's ancient grace and noble ap. pearance.
 The part of the manor facing south, containing the Washington arms, is the oldest, evidently built or the foundations of the ancient priory A niche held by some antiquarians tC be for holy water. by others for salt is on the left of the doorway. In al large houses of the period, say. stephen Reid, there was such wash. ing place for use when the family came to meals A vestige of the olt priory is seen in box-llke structure in the passage, which Is the door O, the ancient cellar, while on the pro Jecting bay, which forms the mair entrance to the manor house, there |: a shield, embossed. in plaster, witt the arms defaced. considered by anti.

 which say:
 The gift of this ancient manor
 house in the heart of the English
 midlands, associated for so many gen. erations with the family of the
 Father of the American Republic is
 indeed a significant token of the bond of friendship existent between the
 two countries. Every phase of Sul-
 grave history. as of all of Englands S
 history, is the coming heritage of
 both America and Britain. Every
 thing In and around the Washington manor house really belonged to
 America before America was born"
 Birmingham's Interest in Miss Armes In appreciation of Miss Armes' splendid work with the Sulgrave i'm stitution and her presentation to the world of her book, "The Washington Manor House." Mrs. Glenn Gazzam. president of the Council of Women's s
 clubs of Birmingham, Is arranging to place in the hands of the 65 clubs which are members of the council copies of Miss Armes book.
 Tt was a great disappointment to
 me that the Sulgrave institution did not include Birmingham in it's visit to the south in September.
 However. on the next trip we hope to have the pleasure of entertaining this distinguished body of men and women.
 ''In the meantime, I feel that Ethel Armes' book will be splendid propa-
 ganda on the subject and will reveal
 to us the many charming angles of
 English American friendship, and
 why we are so closely allied, and why it is so necessary for us to stand to- gether. For this reason 1t Is my de-
 sire to have every club of the Ceun-
 cil of Women's clubs of this district read her most delightful book and en- joy it to the utmost"
 Dr. Henry M. Edmonds and pr. C. B. Glenn were both visitors last sum- mer a year ago to Sulgrave when they went abroad as representatives of the Rotary club, and these two progressive, public-spirited men are also anxious to introduce the work of the Sulgrave institution to Birming ham, knowing it's value and appreci- ating it's influence.
 Miss Armes rejoined the British
 party of the Sulgrave institution aft CT her brief visit to her brother, Mir
 Edmund Armes and his wife here
 and was with the organization the
 past week when the statue to the memory of Edmund Burke was un-
 yelled by them in Washington.
