| The pitcher, on exhibit, gives an
interesting census of the population
of the United States in the days
when Maine was listed as a District
and OHIO divided into South" and
Northwest" The name of each
State appears with its population
listed numerically on the side of the
pitcher serving as decorative de-
sign.
In addition to these gifts from
friends of the District of Columbia
Daughters are to be seen many
others from States throughout the
Union, all presenting fascinating
sidelights into past history and the
personal habits of early days.
A silent story is told through the
contents of three different cases. In
the first is pair of small, finely
woven, white silk stockings once
worn by bride of pioneer days.
In an adjoining case is an entire
dinner set of fragile white and gold
chinaware, which, records disclose,
were transported by pack horse to
the wilderness home of the same
bride, who followed her husband
across the Alleghenies, when such
passage was difficult and dangerous
In the third case, is a baby's cap,
woven in the same fine stitching as
that of the bridal hose-apparently
made by the bride for her first-born.
Nowhere can early American his
tory be more eloquently reconstruct
ed than in the OAR Museum, where
in one section are found powder
horns, muskets and knives, testi-
monials Of the sturdy, dauntleSs
men who carved a Nation out of the
wilderness. In another part of the
museum are seen fragile, artistic
and rare articles of handcraft, con-
tributors at an early period to the
cultural tastes of American men and
women, whose standards of living
are acknowledged the highest in the
world
While the District Daughters
were recipients of the honor award
ed the State making the most con-
tributions of articles to the mu-
scum, the State of Ohio was award
ed blue ribbon for the greatest
contribution to the museum fund.
Visitors to the Nations Capital
will be received at the museum
from 9 am. to 4:30 pm. daily except
Saturdays, when the hours are
from 9 am. to pm. The museum
is closed Sundays.
Miss Rosalind Wright, director of
the museum, invites persons inter-
ested in research to use the study
nook reserved specially for that
purpose, where numerous books on
early American glass, china and
silverware are available for use in
the library.

tuition as the State making tne great.
est contribution of rare and valuable
antinues to the OAR Museum dur.
Ing the past year, will be DISPLAYED
for the first time tomorrow at thu
museum in Memorial Continental
Hall.
Although the honor was announced
at the annual board meeting las,
month, when Mrs. Julius T. Tai
madge, president general of the
OAR, presented the award to the
State regent, Mrs. Roy c. Bowker
the ribbon has not been displayed
before, as museum officials wished
to have the contributions catalogued
and labeled for display at the same
time.
Most of these antiques, number
Ing approximately 100 articles, in
Guiding rare china, silver, miniature
toys, candlestick and other interest
ing items, are now on view at the
museum, which is fast becoming one
of the Nations leading smaller de-
posltor1es of early American an
tiques, telling silently but eloquently
of the cultural tastes of men and
women of Colonial and Revolution
ary days.
Perhaps one of the most interest
Ing single contributions was made
recently by Mrs. Stephen Bonsal of
Georgetown, who has been a COL
lector of miniature toys for many
years. Although not a OAR, Mrs.
BonSal became so interested in the
museum during recent visit that
she sent some of her rarest items to
add to those exhibited for the en-
joyment and benefit of lovers of
early Americana.
Among these are miniature tea
sets which delighted the little girls
of a century ago and which to the
little girls of toyless 1945 might well
represent young dreams of perfect
tea party appointments.
Some exquisite miniature mahog-
any furniture has also been sent to
the museum by Mrs. Bonsal, includ-
ing small cupboard, whose shelves
are lined with tiny, genuine pewter
plates; a small crib, a tiny tip-table
and some small chairs. A wax
faced doll, which belonged at one
time to the family of John Adams,
was also sent by Mrs. Bonsal. Its
costume is an interesting example
of feminine styles of l20 years ago.
Another generous contribution was
received from the Margaret Whet-
ten Chapter of the District Daugh-
ters as bequest from late men,
ber, Catherine Scott Hills.
Miss Hills gift represents large
number of fine pieces of historic
Staffordshire and Oriental Export,
or Chinese Lowestoft, chinaware.
An interesting pitcher, known as
a Liverpool pitcher, is included in
the Hills collection and a glimpse
into its history recalls little known
phase of first attempts at Anglo
American goodwill. 1t is said that

tured in Liverpool shortly after the
