BY JESSIE FAINT EVANS.

AT Mount Vernon on the Potomac,
the Grand Council of the Mount
Vernon Ladies Association of the
Union will open its 18th annual
meeting on May IA.
Not in the SO years of the ex-
| istence of this association has
Mount Vernon, the home and burial
place of George Washington, meant
more as great national shrine,
than 1t does today. In spite of the
increasing difficulties Of transporta-
ton and the distractions of war,
thousands are continuing to go to
Mount Vernon, to find there in
spiration and encouragement for
this present time of need. Every
day large numbers of servicemen
stop as they are passing to and
from their various camps. No man
in uniform is ever charged an ad-
mission fee.
Mount Vernon has averaged more
than half a million visitors year
for the past five or six years.
Crowds often stand patiently IN
line to enter the mansion.
Owned by Association.
The estate is not owned by the
Government of the United States,
nor by the Commonwealth OF Vir-
ginia, but by the Mount Vernon
Ladies Association Of the Union,
first women's patriotic association IN
this country.
Its members are chosen from the
various States, and serve for life
without salary.
Washington's home was purchased
by the association in 1858 from John
Augustine Washington, jr., great
grandnephew of Gen. Washington.
The money, 100000, was raised by
public subscription.
The movement was started and
directed by Miss Ann Pamela Cum
| ningham of South Carolina. after
she learned that both the United
| States Government and Virginia
had turned a deaf ear to the pro-
posal that they purchase 1t and
maintain it to perpetuate the mem
ory Of The Father of His Country"
To save Washington's home from
the auctioneer's hammer she ap-
pealed to the country and founded
the Mount Vernon Ladies' Associa-
! ton of the Union as the medium
by which to administer the funds
for its purchase and maintenance.
! An entrance fee of 25 cents is fixed
by charter and provides the revenue
by which Mount Vernon is main
tanned and kept open to the public
every day in the year.
Wars Clouds Had Gathered.
Even the word union" in the
name of the association is signifl-
cant. for at the time this patriotic
Southern woman was motivatlng
this cause the dark clouds of in
ternal dissension which were to
culminate in the Civil War already
were lowering over our land.
BY 1860 30 States were repre-
sented in the association by vice
regents. Owing to the disturbed
state of the country during the
next seven years nothing could be
done beyond making the necessary
repairs and safeguarding the es-
tate, but occasional meetings were
held by the members of the asso-
ciation who had direction OF its
affairs during this interval.
The first Grand Council was held
in 1866, with Miss Cunningham, the
first regent, presiding. From that
year until the present annual Grand
Councils have been held without
interruption, beginning their meet
ings on a fixed date, the second
Thursday in May. Since then each
decade has brought into the ranks
of this unique organization patriotic
women of ability and vision who

have given generously of their time,
thought and money in constructive
planning for the goal outlined by
Miss Cunningham when she said,
Ladies, the home of George Wash
ington is in your charge-see to 1t
that you keep it the home OF Wash
ington.
40 Committees Function.
Twenty standing committees of
the association are the medium
through which its work is carried
on as a patriotic, unpaid service.
During the meetings of the Grand
Council, usually Of 10 days, the COM
mittees review in detail their activ-
tiles. They also submit plans for
the coming year for approval and
ratification. The work Of each COM
mittee covers q well-deflned field in
the work of restoring, preserving
and maintaining Mount Vernon.
Any changes made at Mount Yer
non are governed by the long-estab-
lished policy to restore as far as pos
sible everything to its appearance in
Washingtons time. The general
objective is to present the home and
its surroundings as Gen. Washing
ton and his family knew it.
The business Of the Grand Council
this year will involve the special
care Of the invaluable Washington
possessions in case Of emergency.
Very detailed and careful plans are
being made in case it becomes nee
essary to place them in safe-keep-
ing elsewhere. During the Civil
War, the soldiers Of both armies
by mutual consent kept Mount Yer
non inviolate. the only civil juris-
diction which they thus honored.
New Edition Published.
To emphasize Washington not
only only as the hero of the Ameri-
can Revolution but as the worlds
apostle Of liberty. the association
is issuing a new edition of The
Maxims Of Washington" in an at
tractive blue and buh cover. On sale
only at Mount Vernon, this book Is
being printed entirely at the expense
Of the association.
1t Is the reprint Of volume first
published in 1854 by the Rev. John
Frederick Schroeder, a native Of
Baltimore and for many years an
assistant rector OF Trinity Church,
New York City.
Subsequently reprinted in 1894,
when the association bought the
copyright and the right to publish
it, the second edition, like the first,
was very limited because no sources
were given for the various quota
tions or mixims from the writings
of Washington.
The present edition, through the
painstaking research of Mrs. Kath-
arine Clagett, who for many years
worked as secretary to the late DR..
John c. Fitzpatrick of the Library
of Congress, now carries the sources
and date of all of the quotations.
This makes it an authoritative edi-
ton of both great historical value
as we'll as of, human interest.
