Cor hope to beD among those
privileged to enjoy Boydville
hospitality.
Jim, known to the business
world as Charles James Faulk-
ner, jr., general counsel for
Armour and Company, and a
director in the company, can
frequently be seen breezing in
and out of the Mayflower,
where he stops when he is in
Washington, dashing to the
Agricultural Department, to
the Departments of Commerce
and State, keeping up to the
minute in a legal way on re-
Etrictions by foreign countries

an important phase of a world
wide business like that Of Ar
mour and Company.
When quotas, tariffs and other
such ponderous matters are out
Of the way, Jim is off to the
Metropolitan Club, of which he
Is a member, to dine quietly
with friends and reminisce a
bit about the old days when his
distinguished father, Charles
James Faulkner, was in the
United States Senate from West
Virginia, or, if Elizabeth, who,
though born in England, was Of
the well known Locke family Of
New England and Nova Scotia,
is with him. to Chevy Chase for
o gayer party.
The weeks business over, he
and Elizabeth round up some
friends and motor out to Boyd
vile, where the house is always
kept open and ready to receive
them.
Boydville has the distinction
of having been held continu-
pusly by one family longer than
any other estate in West Vir-
ginia. Originally a large planta-
tion (there are now nearly a
hundred acres), the thriving lit
tie city of Martinsburg en-
croached upon it and now one
of the main thoroughfares lies
bust outside the entrance gates.
But once inside, the old white
plastered mansion with it's out
stretched wings, the garden and
traditional family graveyard on
either side, both inclosed with
uncovered walls Of English
brick, combine to provide an ef-
fective antidote for feverlSh
haste!
Nowhere in the Valley is there
more exquisite workmanship
than that on the hand-carved
doorframes and mantelpieces
and handwrought brass knobs
and locks at Boydville, all OF
which were done in England
more than 100 years ago.
Among the usual family treas
ures to be found in such a house
IS a portrait of Charles James
Faulkner (Jim'S grandfather)
who was Minister to France un-
der Buchanan from 1860 to 1861,
resigning after President Lin
coin went into office. Recently,
Jim had another portrait
painted from this one which he
presented to the committee,
formed when the new American
Embassy Building in Paris was
under construction for the pur-
pose of acquiring portraits of
former repreS n tativeS to
France. This portrait now hangs
In the Paris Chancery.
