LEE’S COURTSHIP. rT} 1H was dressed in his cadet uniform of West Point—sray with white bullet buttons—and every one was filled with admiration of his fine appearance and lordly manners.” ‘The foregoing is an extract from a long letter written by & relative of Robert H. Lee. It describes Lee as he came courting, at twenty, having taken the interminable stage coach trip from West Point to Vir- ginia to see the girl he loved. From childhood Lee had been a frequent guest at the huge pillared house at Arlington, across the river from Washington. The house and its surrounding estate belonged to George Parke Custis, grandson of Martha Washington and adopted son of George Washington himself. Mary Custis, daughter of the house, was the attraction that drew Lee thither. Mary was one of the richest helresses and one of the prettiest girls in Virginia, Lee came of splendid Revolutionary and Colonial stock, but he He and Mary had been boy-and-girl sweet- Father’ hearts.

Mr. Custis had other her engage herself to a penniless West Point cadet. He thought she could do better. Mary did not agree with him. Lee went back to West Point enjfiged and facing another two-year absence from his sweetheart, leaving Mary to overcome her father’s oppo- sition as best she could. And she overcame it. Lee was graduated (second in his class) in 1829, and was assigned te duty as second Neutenant at Fort Monroe, It was necessary for him te gave every penny he could. For he and Mary had decided that they were going to live on his salary as a lieutenant and not make use of her father’s fortune. (For a while after their marriage, bp the way, they actually did this, though it was a sharp ordeal for a girl who had been brought up in luxury.) On June 30, 1831, Lee and Mary Custie were married at Arlington, the great house being jammed with planters and army officers who had come ra from far and near to attend the marriage. An hour before the wedding a terrific thunderstorm swept the whole region. The Rev. William Meade, who was to perform the ceremony, was on his way to Arlington ot the time and he was drenohed to the skin. “First Love There was no chance to send home for dry clothes, #0 Mr. Meade, whe was tall and thin, ofictated at the wedding wearing a suit belonging to the | bride's father—who was short and fat.
