[ OT the least impressed, though long fa- miliar wtih every nook nad cranny of the sacred place, have been the ladies of the as- sociation. In the 70 years of their trusteeship the association has had but five regents: Ann Pamela Cunningham, 1858-73; Lilly Lytle Mac- alester Berghman, 1874-91; Justine Van Rensse- laer Townsend, 1892-1909; Harriet Clayton Comegys, 1909-27, and Alice H. Richards, 1927. The funds with which Mount Vernon was acquired for the Nation were gathered in the then 33 States of the Union, and the means with which it is now maintained come mainly from the small contributions left at the en- trance gate by those who make the pilgrimage to this sacred place where the greatest of all American patriots breathed his last and where his remains have ever since lain. The work of restoration of the mansion was a labor of love patiently undertaken by the Ladies’ Association. The house had been con- siderably enlarged, both in length and height, by Gen. Washington between 1775 and 1786, but was in dilapidated state and without its Down. 1 Give. 2 Straight two- edged sword. 3 Assert. 4 Scope of knowledge. 5 Perfume. 6 Sew loosely. 7 Norwegian. masculine name. 8 European mountains. 9 Shake as if about to fall, 10 Takes oath. 11 PFinal. 13 Old spelling of straw. 18 Kind of t:ee. 21 South American mountains. - 22 Perch. 25 Goddess of dawn. 27 Insect. 29 Brilfiantly colored bird. 30 Beast. 31 Constituent of coal tar. 32 Dessert. 33 First name of a Dickens character, 34 Potato mashers. 35 Cupid. 37 Flower. 39 Free card of admission. 41 Slide. 43 First name of & movie actress. 45 Half way between east and northeast. 47 Sign of the sodiac. original furniture when, in 1858, the sMount Vernon Ladie’s Association came into possession of it. Each State that wished to share in the trust was given a vice regent, and to each vice regent was given a room to restore. Finally, by infinite patience and much influence, furnish- ings that originally belonged to Mount Vernon were gathered and placed again in the old mansion, so that now it portrays as faithfully as is possible, in interior and exterior, the dig- nified comeliness that marked it in the days when the great Americans of Revolutionary years enjoyed the hospitality of their respected leader and truest of true American gentlemen, Gen. Washington. The mansion contains priceless relics. In the central hall can be seen the key of the Bastille presented to Gen. Washington by Lafayette in 1789, when he visited Mount Vernon. Here, too, are four of the five swords of Gen. Wash- ington, bequeathed to as many nephews with an injunction to each that is a lesson in true patriotism. The nephews were “not to un- sheathe them for the purpose of shedding blood except it be in self-defense or in the defense of their country and its rights, and in the lat- ter case to keép them unsheathed and prefer falling with them in their hdnds to the relin- quishment thereof.” In the hall and west par- lor are some gifts from Admiral Vernon to Capt. Lawrence Washington, his comrade at Cartagena; in Miss Custis’ music room is a flute that George Washington owned, but never learned to play; in the family dining room is Washington's wine chest; in the banquet hall are many relics, including a footstool that was in Washington’s pew in old Trinity Church, New York. In Mrs. Washington’s sitting room is the original card table that they used, also a chair presented to Washington by Lafayette, and one of the candles “moulded for the illu- mination of Yorktown in 1776”; in the library are some volumes that bear George Washing- ton’s signature, though the bulk of his library, which he bequeathed to Judge Bushrod Wash- ington, i now in the Boston Athenaeum; in Washington’s room is the four-posted bed on which he died, and above it, on the third or attic floor, is the bedroom which Mrs. Wash- ington ever afterward used, “becduse from its only window she could see the tomb where her husband’s body lay.” In that room she died, May 232, 1802. There are nine other bed rooms, all interesting and historical in some way and all testifying to the comforts that were to be had in the country homes of Virginia gentlemen of colonial and early fepublican times.
