Irr Murian:
The great, great granddaugh
ter of the man whote Influence
was largely responsible for the
location of the national capital
on una excellent alte on the
Potomac, devoted beautiful,
eriap Saturday morning a week
ago to showing Mrs, Douglas
McKay and me two historic
mansions near Mount Vernon
that' have been restored.
Woodlawn Plantation, of late
Georgian design, was the wed'
ding gift of George Washington
to Nelly Cnstls, granddaughter
of Martha Custls Washington.
She married Washington's fa
vorlte nephew so that the fam
ily who entertained in lavish
style in the attractive home
were doubly connected with
the first President
Many pieces of furniture
from Mount Vernon are now in
the mansion, which was de
signed by the famous architect
of the National Capitol, Dr.
William Thornton, and finished
In 1802, three years after the
President's death. A beautiful
stairway in the main hall was
particularly eye catching.
Footstools of material em
broidered by Nelly Custis Lew-
Is are still In the rooms and
curly maple dining chairs used
by the family are preiervea.
Our next stop was Gunstan
Hall, begun in 17SS. a Georg
ian style plantation house of
brick, the home of George Ma
son. author of the BUI of Rights.
The small table on which he
penned the famous document Is
on display in the house, loaned
for exhibit purposes. Unusu
al window trim, Greclanly or
nate cornices, and decorative
arches, throughout the rooms of
the lower floor give evidence of
architectural skill. The first
Chinese Chippendale room in
America has been restored by
the National Society of Colonial
Dames of America who main'
tain the home, and it as well
as other rooms are authentic
and Interesting. Box hedges
planted by Mason have been
preserved through the 200 years
of the mansion's existence and
some of them are eleven feet
high, from the rear porch
looking out over the sweep of
the Potomac in the distance,
one views close at hand the for
mal boxwood gardens. These
are supplemented by plantings
of annuals and perennials,
many of which were already in
bloom but which will be in full
flower a little later.
Our hostess, a descendent of
the Lee family, took us home
with her for luncheon and in
her home we noticed how she
has used traditional colonial
colors, architecture, and furni
ture.
Washlns ton vignettes: Long
Queues of federal employes
waiting for buses sometimes a
quarter block single-file . .
The park in front of our build
ing bursting Into bloom with a
profusion of tulip magnolia
trees in their lavender-rose glo
ry later water lilies In the
pools will add interest. . . . Ne
gro children playing ball on the
wide area in the series of steps
leading up to the Masonic Tern
pie where the carved lettering
reads "Freemasonry builds its
temples In the heart of men and
all nations." . . . Excellent
strawberries at 29 cents a box
in the markets for more than a
month, and fresh yellow corn
like July In Oregon ... The
humorous remark attributed to
the wife of the Chinee ambas
sador, Mme. Koo, when s
stranger remarked that ahe had
heard Mme. Koo was a great
beauty in London and that three
men had committed suicide over
her, and to this gushing re
mark received Madame's reply
"Only three, I don't consider
that a very good percentage, I
was there six years you know"
The Zoo In Hock Creek
Park, a mecca for young and
old, and where one can see
many of the animals while driv
ing through the winding road.
The legend on the National
Archives building, "The Past Is
the Prologue ... An wea lor
clever hostesses at home place
cards with plain little white
buttons affixed, the holes for
eyes, painted pink cheeks, and
rosebud mouth, bits of silk or
felt with feathers or ostrich
fronds for hats ... A little late
to report but Washington's
Birthday sales in Washington
stores, with five cent shoes. 00
cent typewriters, $5 men's suits,
80 cent automobiles as special
ized Items lust to draw in the
crowds and were they drawn!
ropes across entrances to hold
back crowds, extra police on all
corners, traffic snarled, all
night campers outside of store
entrances to get first chance at
the special items; all this has
been going on for years but Pm
glad I was out of town in all
that melee. 'Bye now. Peg.
