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 Times-Herald. OPEN EN ACCOUNT % - W 1T H <SS~ : XYOUR HOME BANMKX It Costs nothing to have your Money Kept Securely.

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.

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!
