The Make-Up of the First
Cabinet of the First President
George Washington, and the first Secretary
of State, Thomas Jefferson, of Virginia; the first
Secretary of the Treasury, Alexander Hamilton,
of New York; the first Secretary of War, Henry
Knox, of Massachusetts, and the first Attorney
General, Edmund Randolph, a Governor of
Virginia.
The transcendent wisdom of Washington
stands out magnificently in his selection of such
men of ability and patriotism to aid him in
administering the United States Government. As
he expressed it himself: "The selection of the
fittest characters to expound the laws and
dispense justice has been an invariable object of
my anxious concern."
The dignity and dress of these gentlemen of
our early days as they appear in the picture
might be copied in Philadelphia and Washington
at the present time to great advantage.
Signed
March 0, 1920.

Beaded Handbags

pieces, especially the antique bags and others in light colorings. In such

In texture theso fine bags seem more like some rich, soft fabric than
beaded work. Some are draw-string style, some have handsome sterling
silver frames and others have carved celluloid frames.
Prices $30 to $500.
