If the National Society Daughters
of the American Revolution did nc
work other than marking the historic
places in the United States Capita
1t yet would be entitled to a foremost
place in the annals of the country
for to the Daughters and their little
bronze markers the public is in
debted for its only knowledge of the
sacred abodes Of men who turned the
flrst pages Of the history OF a great
Republic. Other cities have profited
by the patriotic work of the organ
ization, but Washington, the mecca
of all travellers, whether from the
States or from distant places of the
world. owes much to the society.
The work of the Oldest Inhabitants
Society also has done much for the
public beyond price, but the Daugh-
tiers put up the substantial placards
that those who run may read.
Almost without exception the places
bearing the tablets are occupied for
other purposes than those for which
they were built-business thrives in
these mellow old abodes-but the
Government has begun taking an in
terest. Where the National Chamber
OF Commerce now stands was the
home of Daniel Webster when he was
Secretary of State and where, it is
said, the Ashburton Treaty was dis
cnSsed and signed. Across Lafayette
Square is site. now occupied by the
Belasco Theater, which in the 1905
was owned by Henry Clay. II is said
he traded it to Commodore Rodgers
for an imported iackass. Rodgers
built substantial red brick residence
which was torn down to make way
for the play house. Charles Sumner
had house where the Veterans
Bureau holds forth with hundreds OF
Offices. In the house where Dolly
Madison reigned as a social queen
after leaving the White House the
staid Cosmos Club abides, and in
stead Of the quaint gossip of early
days one hears the discussions OF
bugs, beasts, erosion and whatnot that
ordinary man knows little of. All
around the square lies the sacred
ground trod by the feet of early
statesmen and other places, like that
where the Arts Club Of Washington
stands out on H street, and in fact
IN that very house Monroe and other
great men lived. On Capital streets

when a banquet and night of revel

ever heard in the rooms. The fam

must, however, thank Uncle Sam for
the earnest, honest chapters to be
added to the history Of the residence
