FOND OF THE GIRLS.
The Love Affairs of the Father of Ills
Country.
George Washington's love affairs be
gan at a very early age. and he was to
the day of his death “fond of the girls.”
The first sweetheart was one Mary
Bland, with whom le fell in love when
he was only 14 years of age. This is
ascertained from an entry in one of his
diaries, where he refers to her as his
“lowland beauty.” Having tired of
Mary, he wrote to a friend that he had
decided to *bury his chaste and trow
blesome passion,” which, having done,
he soon foumd himself enamored of
Lucy Cary, a sister-in-law of Colonel
Fairfax. His affection for this yoynuy
lady lasted for some years, being only
Interrupted now and again by his nat
ural Virginia passion of making love
to every pretty girl whom he met,
In 1752 his first serious love affair
was shattered. Having fallen in love
with a certain Miss Betsy FFauntleroy,
he determlined to ask her to become his
wife, but the fates had destined him
to marry another, for she rejected his
proposals. He afterward came back
to her, but found that she had not
changed her mind on that score. .
His next heartache was caused by a
girl In New York after he had become
a colonel. She was the heiress Mary
Phillipse. His business calied him
away from her; but, having finished
this, he returned to New York and pro
posed to her, but was here, as before,
disappointed by het vefusal.
In 1758 at Waynes Ferry, while
traveling to Williamsburg with dis.
patches, he met his future wife, Mrs
Martha Dandridge Custis, the widow
of Daniel Park Custis. We learn from
history that she was young, pretty, in
telligent and rich. He bad been withk
her all of an afternoon and was to ride
away to his home the next morning
On his way he stopped at her home
and then and there told of his love and
asked her to become his mate for life.
This time, contrary to his previous
proposals, he was accepted.—Chicago

HOUSEHOLD HIMT S,
Set a small box of lime in the pantry,
and it will help to keep it dry and the
air pure.
Soda should never be used for flau
pels, and if they aie kept in good con
dition ‘they should be wveither mangied
nor ironed. :
Mud stains can usually be removed
from silk by rubbing with a piece of
flannel. If the stain proves obdurate,
rub with a piece of linen saturated
with alcohol.
If your window glass is lacking ip
brilliancy, ciean it with a liquid paste
made of alcohol and whiting A little
of this mixture will remove specks and
tmpart a high luster to the glass.
To render feathers white immerse
them for a short time in naphtha or
benzine. Rinse in a second dish of the
same and dry in the open air. Tlen
bleach by exposing in a box to the va
por of burning sulpbur in a moist at
mosphere. e
Good clear starch is easily made.
Wet the iump starch with cold water,
stir till smooth, pour on boiling water
and cook till clear. It takes a quart of
boiling water to ‘“‘clear” two table
spoonfuls of lump starch. {f too thick
thin with blued water.
Sincerity is the basis of all true
friendship., Without sincerity it i
like a shiv without ballast.
A Natural Mistake.
“I was just telling our friend here,
Molly, that it was storming on the day
of our marriage.”
“Surely not, Hiram! The weather
was perfectly lovely!”
“Well, well! I don’t know how I got
so mixed up about it—probably because
it's been storming ever since!”—Atlanta
