Washington, D. C, January 6.
In the life-story of any great man.
the incident most certain to inter
est every human being of every age
is the romance of his courtship
and his marriage. Greatness may
remove him from average human
ity in every other respect, but in
this element of romance he touches
the lives of all where all under
stand him.
This day, January 6, probably old
style, marks the 173rd anniversary
of the wedding of George and Mar
tha Washington, In so far as his
torians have been able to fix the
date, says the United States
George Washington Bicentennial
commission. While the records do
not state the fact, it la probable
that George and Martha had heard
much of each other before they
met. Washington had already es
tablished his fame as a daring sol
dier by his movements against the
French on the Ohio and by his
courage at the Battle of Braddock's
I'leia, and the young colonel, so
often in Williamsburg, the social
as well as political capital of Vir
ginia, must have known of the
handsome, socially prominent, and
wealthy young Widow Custis.
Their meeting occurred when
Washington, then commanding the
military defences of the Virginia
irontler against the Indians, had
hurried down to Williamsburg to
urge in person certain needed im
provements in his command. At
William's Ferry, over the Pamun-
key River, tradition has It, Wash
ington paused at the house of Ma
jor Chamberlayne, which may have
been on May 27, 1758, and was
pressed by this friend to stop and
partake of hospitality. Washing
ton, on his way to see the Governor
on important business, at first de
clined, but at Major Chamber
layne's insistence agreed to stay to
dinner. The argument that turned
the discussion seems to have been
Major Chamberlayne's remark that
the charming Mrs. Custis was also
a guest at his house.
There is almost a humorous note
in this snare which fate seemed to
cast about Washington's heart
With him was his faithful servant
Bishop, whom General Braddock
had turned over to him, and whom
Washington instructed to stay by'
their horses until dinner was over.
The old orderly well knew his mas
ter's punctuality and took it for
granted that the pause at the
Chamberlayne home would be a
brief one. But dinner passed, the
sun sank lower in the West, and
still Washington had not emereed.
At last so the story goes, Bishop
was ordered to stable the horses
for the night. It was only too evi
dent that George Washington had
found business that to him was
more important at the moment
than his errand with the Governor.
On the next day the journey to
Williamsburg was resumed, but no
sooner was the business with the
Governor transacted than Wash
ington hurried away to the "White
House" on the Pamunkey where the
Widow Custis lived. When he left
on June 5, the deeply smitten young
Virginia colonel must have been in
high spirits, for he took with him
the lady's promise to wed him as
soon as his military service on the
Ohio was finished.
To this day there is a dispute as
to whether the wedding of George
and Martha Washington occurred
at the bride's home or at St Peter's
Church in Williamsburg, but the
rector of St Peter's, the Reverend
Mr. Mossom, is know to have off!
ciated at the ceremony, and the
date of the marriage is fixed by
J area Sparks as of January 6, 1759
Wherever the event occurred, it was
a notable and brilliant affair, with
the Governor, the military and civil
authorities, and the socially elite
in attendance.
George Washington was arrayed
as the most brilliant figure in the
whole assembly. Naturally so im
portant a matter as the bride's at
tire was not to be lost in oblivion.
and we know that Martha's wed
ding gown was "a satin quilt, over
which a heavy white silk. Inter
woven with threads of silver, was
looped back with white satin rib
bons, richly brocaded in a leaf pat
tern. There were close elbow
sleeves revealing a puff and frill
of lace. Strings of pearls were wo
ven in and out of her powdered
hair. Her high-heeled slippers were
of white satin, with brilliant
buckles."
Martha TXfo ah ino4r,n t.nnn
born Martha Dandridge. At the age
or seventeen she married Col. Dan
iel Parke Custis, a wealthy man
who died eight years after their
marriage, leaving her two children
and the mistress of a large for
tune. After her wedding to George
Washington, months had still to
elapse before the happily wedded
pair could settle down at Washing
ton's estate or Mount Vernon. Hav
ing been elected to the House of
Burgesses, Washington was oblig
ed to attend its sessions, and the
couple remained at Williamburg
until May, 1759. Then they went
to the beautiful estate on the Po
tomac, to make it their home for
the rest of their lives and to leave
it a shrine forever to millions of
Americans who hold in reverent
memory every incident in their life
together.
Nothing in all history outdoes in
beauty Washington's attachment to
his wife, as she in turn was his best
reliance, a source of encourage
ment in all his trials, a dignified
figure in herself, as firmly planted
as her great husband in the affec
tionate memory of succeeding gen
erations of Americans. So, Janu
ary 6 will linger in our history as
the-beginning of one of the stately
and lovely romances of all time.
W. CT.U. NOTES.
MARY A NOTSON. Reporter.
From reports circulated by the
wets, a person would think that the
city of Chicago, was running ab so
lute tly "wide open" with all kinds
of liquor available in unlimited
quantities. No doubt conditions
are not what they should be, and
with admitted corruption among
the police forces, it is not to be
wondered at that there are numer
ous violations of all laws frnm tho
statutes forbidding murder down
to me smallest misdemeanor.
However, Jane Addams, founder
and supreintendent of Hull House,
one of the greatest welfare institu
tions in the country, says:
"Here around Hull House we
used to watch whiskey and beer be
ing left at saloons by the dray load.
The poverty and suffering from
drink was appalling. There is such
a difference now that it seems like
another world. Our poor are mov

whole standard of life is rising for
them. Drinking has decreased, and

The deceptive argument which
has been put forth so frequently in
recent months that a restoration of
the sale of beer would bring relief
from unemployment will deceive
no one except those who are either
willing to sacrifice the public wel
fare for the satisfaction of their
thirst or those who t hope in some
way to link up with the money
making Bide of the business if it
should be restored. Authentic re
ports from Great Britain show that
brewery profits have increased
along with unemployment Beer
is not a cure for any economic ills.
Conditions in England today dis
prove the claim of the American
brewers that re-legalizing beer in
the United States would benefit
either labor or Industry, on. this
side of the Atlantic. In England
the number of unemployed increas
ed from 1,336,000 in 1923 to 1,731.-
000 in 1930, the brewerey profits
nave increased from 1110,000,000 in
1923 to $125,000,000 in 1930. While
dividends in industry have been
dropping all over the world, Eng
lish brewing companies are paying
from 12 to 25 per cent; one large
brewing company reporting a net
profit increase since last year of
$1,500,000 and paying 35 per cent
dividend. And nearly 'all of this
profit comes out of the pockets of
the poor, leaving them leas upon
which to live and adding to the tax
burdens of the country at large for
the support of the needy.
When you can lift yourself over
the fence by your bootstraps, you
can make the country prosperous
by restoring the beer business.
