A newspaper article, read by the

When the Children OF the American
Revolution took over restoration OF the
room at the George Washington Bicen-
tennial In 1882, they were able to
place in 1t either original household
equipment or exact reproductions.
Experts, however, could not agree on
what kind Of bowl and pitcher had
been in the room in 1882.
AS work progressed, shards of blue
Stadordshire slip ware were found
and two and two added together con-
WINGED those in charge that therein
lay the clue to the bowl and pitcher.
Not long ago Mrs. Amos A. Fries,
publicity chairman for the c. A. r.,
wrote a newspaper article calling to
attention lack Of the two necessary
pieces Of crockery.
Mrs. Thomas Randolph Keith OF

article and has presented the c. A. r.

Mrs. c. A. Swami Sinclair, national

Mrs. Keith bought the set 80 years

milton Of faithful service, Mrs. John
Morrison Kerr, chairman OF the Wake

The old woman could not remember

authentic and at least $50 years old.
