Monticello Is peculiarly fitted to be
Jefferson shrine because he himself
planned and built the mansion. Its
location is about three miles from
Charlotte, the seat of the University
of Virginia, which Jefferson founded.
On every side from the spot which
Jefferson selected as the site of his
home stretch great reaches Of some
of the most beautiful country in the
United States.
The site OF Jefferson's birthplace,
Shadwell, Is only a short distance
away. He himself selected the site
for his mountain home, drew the de-
signs and plans for the house, select
ed the stone and timber used in the
structure, looked after the construc-
ton of the brick and he nails made
by his own servants, devised advanced
and ingenious contrivances for COM
fort and convenience, designed the
decoration of the interior and per-
sonally selected the nishings md
ornaments, and not only planned but
gave personal supervision to the lay
Ing out Of the various buildings on
the estate, the gardens, the walks and
the roadways. Work was begun on
the house in 1894.
When Shadwell was destroyed by
fire In 1910 Monticello was far enough
completed for the family to move in.
Two years later he brought his bride,
Martha Wayles Shelton, there, al
though greater part Of the house
was still unfinished. Indeed, through
out his life, Monticello continued in
minor ways, as his biographer Raynor
puts 1t, 20 be in a state Of almost
constant edif1cation and re ediflcation.
In 1903, there were still rooms to be
plastered, In 1903 the main house It
self might be said to be completed,
but long after that he experimental

er buildings.
Though architecture was only
hobby with Jefferson, today he is ac-
claimed great architect Anyway
Monticello is not the only example of
his work; he is responsible for the
structure of several other plantation
houses in the neighborhood and took
great delight during his last years in
planning the buildings of the Univer-
sity Of Virginia and overseeing their
construction.
The exterior of Monticello-"Little
Mountain"-is In the Doric order of
architecture. The interior is In the
Ionic style. A portico, the full height

FAITH

MARSHALL

IRON Biblical source comes the
= charming Faith, which sprang into
popular usage during the vogue OF
Puritanical names. The prevalence of
appellatives which denote abstract
virtues marked the beginning of Puri-
tanism in England and many such
names came under the ban from other
classes because Of the widespread dis
like of the Round Heads"
But the simple beauty of Faith, as
well as the divine virtue for which
the name was symbol, kept her popu-
larity undimmed. For was she not one
of the trio whom st. Paul commends
to the Corinthians, saying: "And now
abideth faith, hope, charity, these
three; but the greatest of these Is
charity"
The Puritans brought Faith to New
England when they migrated from
their native land and the name has
been universally popular there, at the
same time spreading to other sections
of the country. 1t is one of the few
feminine appellatives which cannot be
contradicted

BILLY 'POssUM's BATH

PILLY 'POSSUM made his home one
year in a tree that grew near
stream In the woods. But Billy learned
lesson which he never forgot and
after that he chose his home far from
the water.
He did not select this tree to be near
the water. because Billy 'Possum did
not care for bathing or swimming He
just happened TO make his home there
without thinking of the stream at all.
1t was nice and quier. No one both
cred him in the daytime and at night
1t was easy to run through the woods
or jump from tree to tree and reach
the road that led to the farm, where
he could find plenty of food.
But one day Billy 'Possum awolle

Jefferson NJ. Levy, present owner of
Monticello, whose family has held title
TO the property since his uncle, Com
modore Uriah p. Levy Of the United
States navy, bought 1t in 1888, seven
years after Jefferson's death, has al
ways been an ardent admirer of the
author of the Declaration of Independ-
ence and was loath to part with Mon
dcello. Patriotic motives finally in
fuenced him to enter into an agree
ment with the Memorial Foundation.
Monticello was Jefferson's home
from ITO till his death, July 4, 1896,
and therefore famous. But with its
passage out of the possession of the
Jefferson family a little more than
century ago, 1t was all but forgotten
by the public; not completely, how
ever, because In 1865 the legality of
the will Of Commodore Uriah Phillips
Levy, leaving the estate to the federal
or to the state government for use as
an agricultural college, or to Hebrew
charity organizations, was contested
in the courts by his family. In 1912
bill was introduced in congress by
Representative Martin w. Littleton
providing for the purchase of Month
cello by the nation. Although the
time was propitious because the Dem
ocratic party had just returned to
power, the bill was not passed nor
was it In 1917 when 1t was revived.
Jefferson, as every good American
knows or should know, was third Pres
ident Of the United States, 18O1-O9.
He was born in Virginia April Is, 1743.
He was graduated from William and
Mary college In 1862 and admitted to
the bar in 1867. He was member of
the Continental congress, 1775-1776:
member Of the commlttee-Jefferso

fngston-to draft the Declaration of
independence; one of the signers: a
