W. C. A. on last Saturday at the Haywood cabin. During the afternoon the girls became acquainted with one another as they gathered around a blazing fire. Later, they roasted weiners and ate a delightful picnic supper. After the meal. Miss Gilette, one of the “Y” leaders of the city, di rected the discussion concerning the programs for the rest of the year. The girls wanted to make a short study of the North Carolina labor laws regarding women and children; they also were eager to learn more about the lives and routine of each other. It was decided that the m.eetings be alternated between the college and the city “Y”. One night during the study period the industrial girls will be the guests of the col lege girls for dinner in the dining room. Later, the city girls will talk at an association meeting. In all, there will be about eight meetings of the group. These will be held every other Tuesday night from 8:15 to 9:15. PIEDMONT ENGRAVING 0>.

The Man Called Washington (Continued from Page Two.) not seen him, having mistaken a man “all lace and glitter, bctherum, and shine,” for tlie President. Many .stories arc told wliich sliow Washington s athletic skill. During a surveying expedition lie visited the Natural Bridge in Virginia and standing almost directly under it, he tossed a stone on top, a distance of about two hundred feet. He said to be the only man who could throw a stone across the Potomac River. After his first battle Wash ington wrote to his brother “I heard the bullets whistle about me, and, believe me there is something charm ing in the sound.” Years after, when he had learned all there was to know of the horrors of war, he said, sad ly, “I said that when I was very young.” After the smoke from the perilous battles of the Revolution had settled there came a call for a leader of the Government. Washington said, “I most heartily wish the choice may not fall upon me. The wish of my soul is to spend the evening of my days as a private citizen on my farm.” Here is the power of inclination, the pleading of personal ease, the as sertion of individual good. Yet when the national call came for Washing ton, he left individual comfort in or der to do universal good. After Washington had taken his oath, he bowed his head, kissed the Bible, and uttered these words, “So help me God.” There was his hope. While at the White House, Presi dent Washington set aside from three to four every other Tuesday as his receiving hour. He was not to be seen by anybody or everybody, but required that everyone who 'pame should be introduced by his secre tary. He received his guests in the dining-room, and he always stood front of the fireplace, facing the e trance door. He required to have the visitor’s name so clearly pro nounced that he could hear it. He had the uncommon faculty of thoroughly associating the name the 'personal appearance that he could call anyone by name who made a second visit. He always received everyone^ even his most intimate friends so that no distinction might be made, with a dignified bow—never with a hand shake. On the evenings that Mrs. Wash ington received he did not consider himself as visited but moved among the guests as a private gentleman, conversing with one and another. At official dinners he sat at the side of the table in a central position, Mrs. Washington opposite. The two ends were occupied by members of his family, or by personal friends. Presidenit W:\sliington was pin- ticularly fond of fish. It happc 1 that a single shad had been caught at the beginning of the season m the Delaware and brought to the city market. His steward, Sam Fraunees, pounced upon the fish with with delight and prepared it for the President’s table. When the fish was served Washington asked, “What fish is this?” “A Shad, sir, a very fine shad,” said the steward, “I knew that your Excellency was very fond of this kind of—” “The price, sir, the price?” asked Washington stern ly, and when informed “Three — three dollars,” he thundered, “Take it away, sir! It shall never be said that my table set such an example of luxury and extravagance.” There are many stories which show Washington’s straight-forward ness but the following is one which shows much diplomacy. He was ask ed by Volney, a Frenchman and revolutionist, for a letter of recom mendation to the American People. This request put him in an awkward position, for there were good rea sons why he could not give it, and other good reasons why he did not wish to refuse. Taking a sheet of paper, he wrote: », “C. Volney needs no recommenda tion from Geo. Washington.” Washington was one of the most punctual of men. He was pimctual in everything and made everyone about him punctual. The affairs of the household took order from the master’s accurate and methodical ar rangements of time. The evenings with his family al ways ended at precisely nine o’clock. Yet he W'as not one to spend his time slumbering for he arose promptly at four to resume his duties of the pre vious day. His correspondence both at home and abroad was immense but no letter went unanswered for Wash ington deemed it a grave offense against the rules of good manners to leave letters unanswered. On the eve of his final illness, Mr. Lear, his secretary, advised the General to take something for his cold but Washington said “No, v know I never take anything for cold. Let it go as it came.” The next day just a few moments before his death he said, “I die hard but I am not afraid to go.” The Host serves it because the Guests prefer it Expert Cosmetic Service Cinderella Beauty Shop Winston-Salem’s Largest Shop Comer 4th and Spruce Sts.
