Show No Lasting Poem To Washington IT la a peculiar fact that there is no poem in existence, no poem, that is, which is widely and per-I per-I manently quoted, to George Wash-, Wash-, lngton, the Father of Our Country, although there have been inspired orations about him. "America has furnished to the world the character of Washington. Washing-ton. And if our American institutions institu-tions had done nothing else, that alone would have entitled them to the respect of mankind," said the great Daniel Webster in his address ad-dress on laying the corner stcne of the Bunker Hill Monument in 1825. "There he lived in ncble simplicity, sim-plicity, there he died in glory and peaee," said Edward Everett, referring re-ferring to Mount Vernon in his oration there on the character of Washington. "While it stands, the latest generations of the grateful children of America will make this pilgrimage to It as a shrine; and when it shall fall, If fall it must, the memory and name of Washington shall shed an eternal glory on the spot." Many of, us do honor to him also on his birthday, February twenty-second, twenty-second, by giving dinners and suppers sup-pers in his memory. It is obviously obvi-ously impossible to suggest the name of a bard capable of writing such a poem, but it is possible to make some suggestions about an appropriate George Washington supper. Here is a menu for such a collation, and here are also recipes reci-pes for some of the dishes.
