What were the outstanding events in the year the iiuniveisary of the high U ioint In the American war fur independence? Certainly it was imt the sestiulcenteiiuial celehration In the city where the Declaration of Independence was feigned, for that celebration was a dismal failure. Undoubtedly the outstanding events were those which put upon the tips of all Americans once more the name of Washington and caused them to take part in a discussion, which has not jet ended, as to the "real Washington." So 1 1)20 will go clown lu history, not only as the one hundred and fiftieth anniversary f the Declaration of Independence, but also us the year in which an immense store of information was added to the avtiiliible Washingtonlauu and which promises well for further accession to that national heritage in V3. As the result of the events of 19-We come to another celebration of Washington's hirlliday with our knowledge of him enriched mid, despite or perhaps, because of all the controversy that has raged over what was or was not the "real Washington," better appreciation of just how much we owe to the man we call "The Father of His Country." An arrangement of the 1020 Vushingonlnna items in chronological order rather than attempting to consider them on the basis of relative importance shows the curious fact that this man, dead these 1117 years, started off the year as a news-pape-r "headliner." This came about when Jiupert Hughes, the novelist, in January gave an address before the Sons of the American devolution in the national capital and not only aroused the Ire of that organization, hut stirred up a nation-wid- e controverry, when he told the truth about Wiisliiugton, as he saw the truth. Although It turned out later that the speaker was misquoted, even at that some of his statements were too strong for some persons to accept without protest. to the tempest In a teapot, which the affair seemed to be, took on greater proportions as Hughes was successively attacked and defended and others took a hand In the row. The; net result was that, paradoxical as It may pound, (ieorge Washington became a "national once more, at least so far as the news, figure" papers were concerned ami one New York dally pointed out that Washington's birthday was celebrated as never before because of Hughes' effort to represent Washingtou "as a man und not a fif (pTnpl tSi f,f7 LJiaiiJ , CW Milff wh' lffll A v ' , H , ) J lM fMwWA , ' V 1 tt- . x CT JU V j 7 , ' -- " , ' V , .

Although the anniversary of a number of revolutionary events during the year lir.'f) served to bring about mention of Washington's name from time to time. It was not until September that the controversy which arose from Hughes' speech wan revived. This came about with the publication of two books "George Washington The Imag and the Man," by W. E. Woodward (P.oir and Live-righN. Y.) and "George Washington The Human P.elag and the Hero, 173'J 170'J." by Rupert Hughes (William Morrow & Co.. N. Y.). While Hughes' biography dealt with only the first thirty years of Washington's life, Woodward's povcred his whole life from 17H2 to 17t9. The niiii of both wais to reveal the "real Washington." but by widely different methods. Hughes, eoveriug less than half of Washington's life, backed up his statements with documentary authority, his effort being, as he staled, to "lot Washington tell his own story ns fully as Hatdhl in his own words." Wihm ward's book was a study not only of Washington, but more broadly of the era In which Washington lived, und it was more of a personal Interpretation of the man and his time than the He intcrpivted other. Washington more us h business man than In any oilier role and asserted that Washington not really the least understood of our great men. but I be best understood, because "he was the American common denominator, the average man deified and raided to th nth power. , . . Hero we see the typical captain of indusiry attitude." The eiTect of these two books, both attempting to substitute the living, breathing Washington for l!:e marble statue Washington, was to revive Interest in the whole w:heet und whatever the verdict of critics on both volumes may be. It Is perhaps not too much to say that the publication of the Woodward and the Hughes biographies may well be regi't'deil iis riiiMiug the outstanding events la relation to the Washinctonluna of IHLVi. If there is one which may challenge that claim it is the celebration which tool; place In Trenton, N. J., last December when the anniversary of !iu battle of Trenton was rbserved. With President and Mrs. Coolhlge and thirteen governors, the present executives of the original colonies, as their guests, the ciliens ot the N'ov .ler-e- y capital staged a series of mass meetings, parades and special chmvli services In keeping with the Importance of the winter taglit a hundred and lifty j ears ago when Washington and his coMiiionial luade their fatuous crossing of the Delaware to defeat the Hessians and to present to the Strug- t, statue." One event of considerable slgnlfiea nee connected with the celebration of Washington's birthday was the "rediscovery" of what has been termed tha hist portrait made of Washington, which is reproduced with this article. The story of this portrait !s a romantic one. In 17'.): a Frenchman named Charles I'.althazar .Tullen Fevert de St. Metuln came to America from I he city of Dijon and settled lu I'hlladelphla. There lie invented what he called a "physloiiotraee end patitagiiiph" with which he was enabled to outline a human head on pupT with mathematical exactness, reducing or enlarging It to any size for reproduction on a copper plate. The original vm" finished on crayon and the copper In mezzotint. In 17iis Washington went to Philadelphia and while there he sat for the Frenchman for what Is Kjild to have been his lust portrait.

Somehow, the litlle look of Joy in Folly's eyes remained there for days. One sunuy autumn day, when both the girls secretly longed for a good horseback ride in the country, the business In the little shop was very dull. Only a dozen people came to eat and then left at once. "I suppose It is too beautiful out of doors for people to spend a spars moment In here," murmured Lois. "Somebody coming now." remarked Polly, as three men entered the low door. When the first one lifted his bowed head, the girl almost cried aloud. It was her grandfather, and accompanying him were Gardner Allen and Bobby Burnet I The latter came forward, smiling pleasantly at Polly. "Can you arrange a table for five we are expecting two ladles to Join us Just a regular luncheon anything you please will do." He rejoined his companions and they stood In front of the window, looking Into the sunny street where their car was at the curb, while the two girls rapidly arranged a round table for five. When everything was ready, Lois went forward. "The tahle Is ready, sir," she said to her grandfather. "Very good, my dear," he said and bent and kissed her tenderly. This was too much for young Polly, who cunie for her embrace and then when the three were standing at their chairs, grandfather said, "We are waiting for you girls to Join us, one on either side of me. If you please!" At the close of the menl. It was the grandfather who rose In his chair with his water glass In his hand. "1 propose the health of the tea shop," he said. They drank solemnly, nnd grandfather lifted his glass once more and looked at the two girls and the two young men with smiting eyes.
