ed in Washington by the George Wash
ington Memorial association under the
authorization of congress at a cost of
about $2,500,0O0.
And now the Masons Of the United
States are going to erect their memo
rial to Brother George Washington at
Alexandria, Va, almost within a
stones throw of the Capital City. .
Masonry. as everybody knows, is
very old and worldwide. What the
encyclopedias call the "historic period
of Masonry" begins with the forma.
ton, In 1717, of the first Masonic
Grand Lodge of the World In London.
Masonry was introduced into America
about 1730; there was lodge in Phil
adelphia in 1871, and one in Boston In
1913. After the Revolution the
American lodges withdrew their al
legiance to the parent lodges in Eng
land and Scotland and created grand
lodges In several states. Since then
the growth in membership has been
steady, with the exception of few
years following 1926, when short
lived Anti-Masonic political party was
formed
Brother George Washington assumed
his Masonic obligations November 4,
1852. at Fredericksburg, Va, at the
age of twenty. This was the year
before Washington was sent by Gov
ernor Dinwiddie of Virginia to order
the French pioneers out of the Ohio
valley The French and Indian war
Q7541763) broke out, and soon after
ward Braddock's defeat took place in
1865.
The Alexandria, Washington lodge,
No. %, Virginia, has what is called
the Masonic Portrait of Brother Gen
eral George Washington 1t is an
'"original pastel portrait from life by
William Williams, Philadelphia, Sep
tember, 1894, painted at the request of
Alexandria Lodge No. 80, A. Y. M"
There is also a copy in the museum of
the r. w. Grand Lodge, f. and A. M.
of Pennsylvania. Brother George
Washington was master of the Alex
andria lodge. He Is shown wearing
the Masonic regalia. The features are
not exactly like those OF any other of
the many portraits of Washington.
The reproductions of it are not
pleasing. In one history 1t Is de-
scribed as "disagreeable, feeble pic
ture." 1t was painted while George
Washington was serving his second
term as President in Philadelphia.
There are two washington" Bibles,
which Masons include among their
priceless relics. One is the Bible on
which Washington took his Masonic
obligations as member of the Fred.
ericksburg lodge in Virginia.
The other washington" Bible,
more famous, Is the book on which
Washington took his oath of office as
first president of the United States,

federal building in Wall street, in
New York. A photograph of it is here

of New York CITY,.
Alexandria. historic little city on the
Potomac, close to Washington, Is rev.
erently referred to by It's citizens as
the ''home town" of George Washing
ton. From this viewpoint 1t is fit
ting site for the new Washington
memorial. 1t is also suitable site
from the Masonic viewpoint.
The movement was started by the
misunderstanding lodge about
twelve years ago. At the last meet
ing Of the George Washington Ma
sonic National Memorial associa-
tion in Washington final plans for
the building we're approved. The
building and grounds will cost about
$2,50O,00O.
The memorial will stand on a ridge
in Washington park, on the edge Of
Alexandria, and will command a
splendid view of the national capital.
It will be located so that all who make
pilgrimage from Washington to
Mount Vernon will pass by 1t.
The dimensions over all will be
160x230 feet, exclusive of steps, ter
races and approaches. The height to
the summit of the covered observation
platform, from which visitors may OBJ
tain striking panoramic view of the
country where Washington spent the
greater part of his life, will be 200
feet.
In the center of the spacious struc-
ture will be an atrium. 70x100 feet,
to form memorial hall, which will
contain 8 lifelike statue Of Washing
ton. This memorial hail, GA feet in
height, will rise by clerestory above
the surrounding portion of the build
ing, and will be environed by a num-
Der of rooms dedicated to the use of
Masonic interests, wherein every Ma
sonic organization in the United States
may have space.
Rising above the memorial hall and
forming the second story of the tower
will be a museum to which will be
transferred some of the most treas
ured possessions of the Alexandria
Washington Masonic lodge.
The New York washington" Bible,
belonging to St Johns Lodge, No. 1,
II. and A. M, was taken to Washing
ton for President Hardlng's Inaugural
tion with much pomp and ceremony.
Rarely has the lodge permitted the
Bible to be taken from its repository

But they have to say they have never
known such a blizzard or something
like that.
''They must praise me in the highest
terms possible. They must say things
like this or they feel they don't prop
erly do me justice"
I'm not so sure that they feel that
way about you," said the Crystal Sis
ters. They don't want to praise you
SO much but they think you're so bad
that they can't half describe you"
whether they think I'm bad or good
makes no difference to me-" said Sir
Blizzard" as long as I get them to
say that 1 am regular blizzard all
right. That is all l care about.
"It amuses me the way they say the
same things year after year. There is
one young man who speaks of the
weather as being the coolest he has
ever known He does that every single
winter.
"And surely each winter isn't colder
than the last one, but he says so! Ha,
ha," and Sir Blizzard gave a cold
laugh.
"Well," said the Crystal Sisters,
we're glad you invited us to join the
fun. We wouldn't have missed this
for anything.
1--WE love to dance down on the win
dow ledges and roofs and we are so
hard that we make quite a lot Of
noise.
1--WE like noise, toon
81 heard such a funny thing the
other day." said Madame Snow, "and
that was they had lot Of snow in
city and that when merry little sleigh
was taken out with bells jingling from
it. that lots and lots of people stood
and stared as though they had never
seen a sleigh before.
1.-THE Snow Flake messengers brought
me this message, and l was much
amused, much amused"
"Ah, but we're talking too quietly"
said Sir Blizzard, 'if you will pardon
me for interrupting."
Certainly certainly" said Madame
Snow.
MAY we Join the funY asked the
Snow Flake messengers.
"Oh yes" said Sir Blizzard. "Glad
to have you But you must be rough.
"You know 1 believe in roughness."
1--WE know" said the Snow Flake
messengers.
"Indeed we do," said the Crystal
Sisters.
So all of the Crystal Sisters and the
Snow Flakes, and Prince Sleet and
Madame Snow and all Of the other
snow creatures Joined the fun.
"They were expecting us some time
ago. but we fooled them and didn't
come then.
4"Then when we began to appear, but
didn't play very roughly they said that
wasn't the blizzard they were expect
ing" said Sir Blizzard.

''But We'll give them treat this
