TWENTYONE-YEAR-OLD girl—Elizabeth Griscom—was solemnly turned out of the Quaker meeting at Philadelphia in the autumn of 1778 for the “crime” of marrying an Episcopalian. The Episcopalian was John Ross, who had been her fellow ap- prentice in an upholstery factory. {he young couple set up an upholstery But soon afterward, in the early days of the Revolution, young Ross received a mortal hurt in the And Elizabeth—or Betsy, as most people call her— left to run the business alone. One day in 1776 four men entered her shop and were hastily vonducte® to the parlor behind ft, where no prying eyes or listening cars could sole their mysterious mission there. The errand that brought this quartet of patrioy to the widow's humble parlor was not only mysterious but treasonable as well—the sort of mission that savored unpleasantly of the gallows In those days of Britivh tyrann: Any schoolboy of the present time, transported back over the years to that Arch street room, would quickly recognize all four of Betsy Rose's visitore, The stout, elderly, gray-clad man was Benjamin Franklin. The florid man in the white wig John Adams, The lean, angular, carclessly dressa@ man with the greenish-hazel eyes and the freckles wits ‘Thomas Jefferson, who, in those June days, was revising the rough draft of he Declaration of Independence, The big man whose presence dominated tie wligl little room was George Washington. Truly the upholsterer's young widow heat distinguished guests that morning. The comnuttee had called to enlist Betsy Ross's services in the designing and inaking of a flag for the unborn Republic, the United States of America. Wash- ington had scrawled on a bit of paper the rough plan of suah a flag (adapted, whether purposely or not, from his own family coat-of-arms), and this he showed to Mrs. Rosy, At once her suggestions changed nearly all the details of the sketch, én@ Washington, under her guldance, proceeded to make hasty corrections in he design. For one thing, she altered the six-pointed ‘# to stars with five points, Then she changed the shape from square to a length one-third greater than the width, She also had the haphazard arrangement of the thirteen stars revised into a distinct pattern, These and other marked improvements the young widow suggested. (Among them the use of the a symbol of Live erty--an {dea promptly adopted for the revenue and marine flags.) Every aug- gestion of hers was meekly accepted by the four statesuien, «ho reallsed tha€ in matters of taste and of sewing they were greenhorns compared with this little Quaker shopkeeper. When at last Betsy had arranged the pattern according to her own {deas, she consented to sew the flag and to accept a commission as offictal flag :naker for the United States, The brave woman knew well what risk she was incurring. Hers was as truly a work of patriotism and of hero-courage as Was the battle exploit of any soldier. For the British Government might well punish with death the patriot who dared to design and to make the “rebel emblem. Indeed, her Tory friends at once made known their horror at #0 audacious an act by shunning her society and dy, denouncing her loudly traitor. She made no secret of her loyalty. A Widow's Famed Guests. She even wrote an Independence Hymm and sang {t In public. The soldiers used to cheer her as though she were @ view torlous general. A few years later, when a yellow fever epidemic scourged: Philadelphia, she laid a her flag making and tolled niht and day tu the hoa pitals, So wondrous a nurse was sie that the sick folle nicknamed her “The Magical Quakeress.” Betsy Ross married a Capt.
