(Continued mm P:g;st»?gge ) of antique furniture and treasures re- | cently brought from Italy. The house will be open from 10 o'clock Wednes- day morning until 6 o'clock in the afternoon. In charge of arrangements are Mrs. | John W. Burke, Mrs. Walter B. Guy, | Mrs. William B. Marbury, Mrs. Rozier Dulaney, jr.; Mrs. Montgomery Blair, Miss Anne Carter Greene, Mrs. Lowndes Jackson, Mrs. Louis Greene, Mrs. Camp Stanley and Mrs. Albert | Lucas. Miss Christine Long will bel assisted by & group of her friends, who will show the garden. Montpelier was originally part of a 10,000-acre grant of land which was | made to Richard Snowden in 1686. The exact date when the house wes | built is not known. A, record was finally made in 1790, but by then the house was many years old. The part of the country where Montpelier is located is dotted with homes of the Snowdens who lived in | baronial splendor and made little or no accounting of their activities. Near Montpelier Manor is the Dower | | House, where Maj. Snowden's mother | | went to live after his father, a pious Quaker, died, and he married Ann | Ridgely, the Baltimore heiress. | Typical of the gracious living of | the early days of the Republic is the J furniture Mrs. Long has selected for | Montpelier Manor. She is an author- { ity on American antiques and is a member of the Housefurnishing Com- | mittee at Stratford. In what is now | the music room, formerly the dining | room, is a spinet made in 1780 by | Astor & Comp to which is attested & quaint inscription stating that 1t‘ was made according to a new patent. On the other side of the room is a' table of musical glasses which were played by filling them with water to ! various depths to obtain a complete | scale. Thomas Snowden, the older, is supposed to have carved the Chip- | pendale motif around the mantel and china cupboard. The latter is par- ticularly noteworthy because of the hand-wrought brass hinges, which are | the only ones of their kind in Mary land. Mrs. Long has filled this with Worcester and Spode of exceptional | design. | Through the hallway to the present '3 dining room those interested in early American glass will enjoy seeing the bright red, white and blue pieces on shelves in the windows, where the reflected light makes them sparkle. The chairs in the dining room were made for Gov. Bowie in 1800 and were used in the State House in Annapolis at that time. When Mrs. Long was in Italy she Wwas as tireless a student of the art of that country as she has been of American antiquities. The story is told that when Signora de Suvich, WASHINGTON, D. C, wife of the Italian Ambassador, was | & guest at luncheon at Montpelier, she stayed past that polite “I've had such & nice time” hour because she was 8o fascinated by the rare objects her hostess had brought home with her. Those who will assist in the house are Mrs. Theodore C. Achilles, Mrs. Francis Addison, Mrs. Joseph Addi- LR = There’s youth in every line of this elegant Linen son, Mrs. Hanson Boyden, Mrs. Hig- gins Ohapin, Mrs. Selden Chapin, Mrs. Walter F.
