The waters surrounding the island
abounded in swapping turtles weighing as
much as so pounds. One day. Gen. Mason
caught one of these turtles and threw it
in his boat, where it attacked him so
furiously that he was forced to jump over
board The turtle followed closely at his
heels. but swan off in another direction.
Gen. Mason farmed the island exten-
Sively, and both he and his wife won prizes
at Georgetown fairS-MrS Mason for cloth
made from cotton or fax grown on the
island, or from the wool of her husbands
prize-wipning Merino sheep.
Although their 75-acre island was a
miniature plantation, its chief Importance
to the Masons was as an enjoyable summer
home. Two famous Frenchmen visited
them-Lafayette and Louis Philippe, later
King of France. Washington and Jefferson,
travelling to the new Federal City, often
stopped to enjoy the MaSonS hospitality.
The approach from the Virginia shore
had been improved by a cauSeway. How
ever when the travellers to the Capital
resumed their journey. they still had to
cross the Potomac to Georgetown by
Mason's Ferry.

Island In the City Limits


METROPOLITAN AREA residents who
lV1 think they have seen practically
everything of interest in Washington may
be surprised to learn they can take ferry
ride to an island within the city limits.
The boat leaves for Theodore Roosevelt
Island on weekend afternoons from the
foot of Wisconsin avenue, which is within
walking distance of the NJ street trolley
line and easily accessible by automobile.
A ferry at this location is not new. More
than 200 years ago, George Mason of
Gunston Hall, who then owned the island,
established ferry from the very same spot.
When George was 10, his father drowned
while crossing the Potomac in a sailboat,
and the boy inherited vast amount of
property, including what was then called
Barbados Island. 1t was also known at
various times as AnacoStian, AnaloStan, My
Lords Tin honor of Lord Baltimore) and
finally as MaSonS. In the late 1700S
Georges son, Gen. John Mason, Georgetown
banker and the last member of the family
to own the island, built brick mansion
there as his summer home.
The house had a magnificent view of the
White House and the Capitol Unusual
varieties of native trees and plants grew
on the island, and Gen. Mason cultivated
additional ones. The seeds of purple

of the organization. Mrs. Lille

sion Without a moments hesita-

Why does this happen? Simply
because IN many cases-where all

choice OF background that de-

All too frequently we are so con-
cerned with our subject that we
tend TO neglect what's behind 1t.

BACKGROUND

The other day while thumbing
through a volume of paintings by
the great masters. we suddenly
became aware Of how carefully
these artists selected backgrounds
for their subjects Portraits and
character studies were generally
painted against neutral back
grounds of velvet drapery or
PLAIN wall, such as Gainsborough
used IN his famous Blue Boy In
other instances. the artist chose 20
depict his subjects against back
ground of the natural setting Of
their activity
In all the great works OF art,
as much careful attention was
given TO the backgrounds as 10
the subjects And we feel that
there's an important point here
for all picture takers 70 remem-
Der namely. that a good picture
deserves a good background, and
that we must look not only at
our subject but oehtnd II before
we shoot any picture al all
Very often two clear. sharp,
correctly exposed snapshots OF
the same subject taken from the
same distance will present
totally different effect In one,
the subject seems 70 stand out
