The COW wa never delivered.
After that Khoziat's mother sent
some more gifts to the sutton
whom neither she nor her daugh-

passed between the engagement
ard the wedding. On the day OF
the wedding, people began to

being made. A ram was slain.

Khoziat sat in the ichkari, nerv-

that she was the cause of all that
trouble.
Soon Khoziat's mother came ii
and said that the Mullah had ar

Occupied by Mcclellan.
In Civil War days, the Dolly Madi-
son House was occupied by Gen.
George B. Mcclellan, who was COM
manding the Army of the Potomac
at that time.
The Cosmos Club bought the
mansion in 1885, later combining it
with the adjoining Cameron or Tay-
loe house, built by Benjamin Ogle
Tayloe in 1928. To these houses in
later years the club added a large
building on Madison place.
One of the Oldest members Of the
club says that the Dolly Madison
House originally was only two stories
and an attic, and that a third story
was added in comparatiyelv recent
years.
The interior has been remodeled to
such an extent that little more than
the walls remain Of the original
structure.
The entrance to the Dolly Madison
house was on Madison place, sheltered
by porch whose supports of grace
full iron grillwork are still in place.
The exterior of the house now is
stucco over brick, although the orig
inal mansion probably was of plain
brick construction.

SURVEY REVEALS
FARM SITUATION
Agricultural Departm ent
Study Shows Needs in
Rural Areas.

In survey Of sweeping propor-
tions, the United States Government
is assembling data for the first time
which will give at a glance a COM
prehensive picture of the physical
state OF the countrys farm properties.
The farm housing survey, being
conducted by the Department of Agri-
culture IN conjunction with State
agricultural extension services and
using Civil Works Administration
workers, is giving the Federal Govern
ment impressive factual information
on the needs of Americas farms.
With 100000 farm houses already
reported on in widely separated Sec
tions Of the country, the study will
continue until a record of every farm
property in the United States. with
the exception Of New York and Penn
sylvania has been made. The ex-
cepted States decided against partici-
pating in the survey through C. w. A.
Paramount among the needs found
thus far, according to the study, is
that Of exterior painting. The sur
vey figures, which are assembled by
counties, reveal this need to be great
est in more instances than any other
Insulation, screens and foundations
also rank high among needs Of these
properties.
Information compiled in the reports
covers construction of each building,
whether painted or unpainted, age of
houses, size, average rooms and aver
age number of occupants of each
building.
The survey Is expected to be of
considerable aid to the administration
in mapping its home modernization
and renovation program, expected to
get under way in the near future
Studies already are being made by
Government experts looking toward
financing the needs shown by the
survey.

"a cial traditions are inti-
wv mately linked with the old
w Dolly Madison House on
Lafayette square, which
now is part of the Cosmos Club.
Perhaps no other woman of her day
saw as much of Washington society as
did Dolly Madison, and few could
have done as much to develop its
influence and charm.
The house itself. which stands at
H street and Madison place, has been
altered many times. since Mrs. Madi-
son presided over assemblages which
included Henry Clay, Daniel Webster,
Mr.. and Mrs. John Quincy Adams,
Mrs. Alexander Hamilton, Mrs.
Stephen Decatur, Mrs. William
Thornton, Mrs. Tobias Lear and Gen.
John Peter Van Ness.
Built in 1918.
The mansion was built in 1918 by
Mrs. Madison's brother-in-law, at
about the time Commodore Stephen
Decatur was erecting a somewhat
similar town house directly across the
square.
From this period on for more than
so years the square became the social
center of Washington, and nearly
every succeeding residence was in
time noted for its historical associa-
tions
The influence of Mrs. Madison's
grace and social tact persisted long
after her husbands retirement from
public life and long after her death
in 1849. She took up her residence
in the house on Lafayette square
shortly after President Madison died
in 1888, passing her remaining years
there.
She was aided in maintaining the
fashionable residence when Congress
purchased her husbands papers for
$4,000. Born in 1853, Mrs. Madison
knew intimately many Revolutionary
figures and a long life linked her
generation to the present.
Mrs. Madison was familiar, and
wrote engagingly, of the life of the
struggling young Capital. She knew
Washington when diplomats and ON
cials fed its mud and boredom, and
when the city was threatened by
British ships in the Potomac during
the war of 1912.
Describes Emotions of War.
At this exciting period in Washing
tons history, Mrs. Madison wrote Of
her emotions upon seeing from the
windows of the Presidents House the
tents of the defending militia on the
hill where the Naval Observatory later
was erected.
THE 20 tents look well in my eyes.

The news, aside from that pertaining|
to the power and light issues, was|
interpreted constructively.

Some selling today to record profits|
in issues now near their best levelsl
for the year were also reported.
Market commentators were hopeful
that relief from tax selling, coupled
with January reinvestment demands
would bring substantial improvement
in the list after the start of the
new year.
