Af By ELMO SCOTT N TI1IC s MOTHER WATSON town of Fred- ericksburg, Vii., there stands a lofty stone shaft which Ls said to have the unhiue distinction of being the only monument In the United States erected entirely by the efforts of women to a woman. Ierhaps the simple Inscription on the monument explains the reason for that distinction. It reads Mary, the Mother of Washington. As the annual celebration of Mothers Day it is May 12 this year approaches, all Americans should be interested in the story of this mother who gave to the nutlon one of its greatest men. Washington himself once said that ids mother was the most beautiful woman lie ever saw. but even more Interesting than this natural tribute paid by a sou is the testimony contained In a letter written In 1772. Curiously enough this letter was found In a deserted house near the York river during the Civil war. It reads os follows: "W ms Burg, ye 7th of Octr. 1722 Dear Sukey; Madame Ball of Lancaster and Her Sweet Molly have yrone Horn Mama think Molly the Com-lles- t Malden She Knows. She Is about sixteen yra old. Is taller thnn Me It verry 6ensable. Modest and Loving Her Hair is like unto Flax, Her Kyee are the color of Vours and her Ohekes are like May Blossoms. I wish You could See Her." The "sweet Molly referred to In that letter was Mary lfall. who on March 0, 17.i0, became the wife of Augustine Washington, a friend and neighbor of Iter father's, and it was on February 22, 1732, that she gave ldrth to the boy who was destined to be the founder of a new nation. In addition to being a woman of great beauty Mary Washington seemed to have been a remarkable woman In A many rejects. silent, serious, woman, she was, self contained, and reserved," says an I luring the forty-siearly writer. of her widowhood she managed years her household and farm without the assistance of any adviser and reared her children to usefulness and honor, and saw them go forth into the world equipped for its work and pain. That they each nnd all revered her, and sought her council In every emergency Is sufficient testimony of her worth and ability. Mrs. Washington's lack of personal ambition and tier constl tutlonal reserve were qualities width prevented her from brooming popularly known to the public, even at a time when the people were eager for any opportunity to show tier honor Hut no demonstration was ever made la her behalf and there is hut one in stance recorded when she appeared in public with her son Another tribute to Mary Washington Is contained in t lie statement of l.aw rence Washington, of Clmtank. who wrote as follows: "I was often here (at the home on the Kappalmnnock) with George his piny mate, school Handkerchief in History The handkerchief Is one of the refinements of Roman civilization, it came Into general use in polite society during the reign of llenry VIII of Knglaud.

Mother and son were much alike In character, personal appearance and conduct. Both were wanting In hu mor and imagination, nnd both possessed In an extreme degree consden tiousness, gentleness und determlim Hon," says the writer previously referred to. More recent historiuns have shown that more than once during Washington's early life there was a clash of these two strong wills, but there was a strong bond of affection between them, nevertheless. At the outbreak of the Revolution Washington, realizing the dangers which the war would bring to Virginia, tried to induce his mother to move Into town from her home on the Rappahannock opposite Fredericks burg. Stie had previously declined the offer of a home with her daughter, Mrs. Hetty Washington Lewis, declaring that she preferred to rule tier own home. But at last Washington's Insistence prevailed, and in March, 1775, lie and Ids sister moved her, still pro testing, Into a home in Fredericksburg, which Washington had bought from Michael and Father Robinson In 1772 It was a part of ttie original Keumore estate. Betty Lewis home. The gar den was separated from the Kenmore garden by a fence nnd gate. Just ns it was American women who erected the monument to Mary Washington, so it was a group of American worn en who have preserved the impreteu tlous cottage where Mary Washington lived from March, 1775, until August. LnFnyette came with Washingtons nephew, Robert Lewis, to pay ills respects to Hie mother of the greatest American. Site received tiie courtly Frenchman in iter garden, met all his fine phrases with dignity and gave him her blessing when he bade her good by. As he left lie said to a friend, "I have seen the only Roman matron of my day." It was In this little home, too, that the last scene In the association of the Washington mother and son took place. In the spring of 1789, Charles Thompson, secretary of congress, arrived ut Mount Vernon to notify Washington that lie had been elected the first Iresident of the new nation. After preparing to accompany Thompson to New York, then the capital of the United States, Washington rode to to his Fredericksburg to say good-bmother, l.oth knew that this would prolinbly be the Inst time they would see each other, for Mary Washington was then past eighty yenrs of age nnd suffering from cancer. After an affectionate greeting between mother and son, so says one account, Washington said, "The people. Madam, have been pleased, with the most flattering unanimity to elect me to the chief magistracy of the United States; but before I can assume the functions of that I have come to bid you an affeo Donate farewell.

Nancy Stone was fifteen WHENbegan selling kitchen utensils at Silvers & Stones after supper on Saturday nights. Nancys father was half owner of the store, which did more business than any three other hardware stores in the county put together, but Nancy had asked to do it to start with for tlie sake of earning a little extra spending money. At the time Malcolm Silvers, Just through high school, had Joined hi3 father in the business. Nancy had not tried to hide her adson miration for the tall, of her fathers partner. One evening after closing hours Mr. Stone had suggested driving Mr. Silvers home In his car, and Malcolm had taken the hint and had asked permission to drive Nancy home in his fathers car. Nancy and Malcolm became engaged. That was something that seemed to have been settled some time before Malcolr- - went through with tlie formalities of a proposal nnd Nancy, who had come to take Malcolm for granted, murmured acceptance. Now Nancy was twenty and Maland they were colm was twenty-thredriving home after a Saturday evening that had been especially prosperous to the business which they would one day inherit.

Then, after a pause, "As a matter of fact, I loath it I loath hardware." Youd say anything to avoid an You havent argument, said Nancy. any idea of the way 1 feel about it. Sometimes I could just run away. Nancy paused and looked at Malcolm, but Malcolm, tc her surprise, bud not turned to look at her.

What would you do if you did go away? Nancy took a long breath, stretched out tier arms, and then felt ut a loss to know precisely what to say. There are evfr so many thing I might do, she said. "I'd go somewhere where I'd want I'd have an opportunity. to be free; really to live, to think. Have you any brilliant idea for your future If you gave up hardware? "I have," said Malcolm simply. Well, if thats the way you feel, we might as well call our engagement off." Nancy was decidedly annoyed, and this moment of her release from Malcolm didnt give her the sense of profound relief that she had anticipated. "It's O. K, with me," said Malcolm, "if that's the way you feel about it." And so within a few days of each other Nancy and Malcolm told their fathers of their broken engagement, and started forth to seek their fortunes apart from hardware. Three months later Mr. Stone appeared at the usual time on Saturday night and with him came Nancy, looking a little thinner a little less buoyant than, usual. Mr. Silvers, who was measuring chicken wire at the time, looked up in surprise. Nancys back for good," said Mr. Stone, gleefully. Says shell come back to sell kitchen things Saturdays, as usual, if we want her. As soon as Mr. Silvers was at liberty lie went to Nancy and, laying a rough hand gently on her shoulder, said: "Im glad youre back, my girl only perhaps youd rather leave early.
