other Lived
Was Known As
~ “The Rose of
Epping Forest”
DIED IN 1789
‘The girl who was to become the
mother of George Washington was
something of a belle in her native
colony, Virginia. $
‘Mary Ball, descended from a good
‘English family, was called “the rose
of Epping Forest” in her girlhood,
Epping forest being the name of the
~ Ball homestead. Orphaned early, she
had as her guardian George Eskridge,
a wealthy Virginia planter.
At twenty-two, Mary Ball married
(on March 6, 1730) Augustine Wash-
ington, then a widower with two little
boys. Her first child she named
George after her old family friend.
~ Five other children were born of this
marriage, four of whom survived.
' When Augustine Washington died,
she was left with a brood of young-
sters to care for. George was then
only eleven. Fortunately, however,
the husband had provided for them
amply. His wealth consisted mostly
of land, and in order to produce the
requisite income, it had to be careful-
ly managed. Mrs. Washington seems
to have had plenty of practical sense.
Alone, she brought up her family and
saw them all successfully settled in
life. :
George Washington was still a young
boy when he became possessed of a
desire to be a midshipman. His
other had been half-hearted about
his plan at all times, but finally (so
the story goes) when his sea-chest
was being carried down to the wharf
by a porter, she refused to let him go.
~ He accepted her decision with good
grace, and devoted himself to survey-
ing instead. His activities in the next
‘years often took him far away from
~ her and gradually prepared him for
the great role he was to play in Amer-
“jcan history.
“Mary Ball Washington was sixty-
eight when the Revolution began.
> then so
Since communication was
primitive, she often did not know for
months at a time whether her son was
alive or dead. Yet she maintained
outward calm and courage.
One of her sayings was, “The moth-
ers and wives of brave men must be
brave women.” The members of her
household knew, though, that every
day she went off by herself with her
Bible to a quiet spot called Medita-
~ tion Rock. :
~ At last Cornwallis surrendered in
Ever mindful of his mother’s anxiety
for him, Washington sent off a cour-
fer at once to bear her the news. As
soon as his affairs permitted, he fol-
lowed, and mother and son met again
for the first time in seven years.
Mary Ball Washington lived to be
over eighty, mentally keen and un-
~ failingly cheerful. She died in 1789.

FOOD MARKET
ily ditioo-
This week The Post introduces
a new column, “Food Market Ad-
vice,” which, we hobpe, will serve
our women readers much as the
Stock Market Report serves their
husbands.
Low prices for LAMB and for
POULTRY are being asked this week.
~ While DUCKS and TURKEYS are
outstanding in value all poultry par-
ticularly small fowl, broiling and fry-
ing chickens are much cheaper than
last year. The early part of the week
will see shoulder, rib and loin lamb
chops and shoulder cuts cheap, the
weekend chops and-legs. ‘While there
are three fast days in the week, the
holiday weekend will make this news
interesting to most people.
Eggs Plentiful and Reasonable
Generous supplies of EGGS continue
to arrive in the markets and they are
being sold at very reasonable prices.
FISH supplies on the other hand are
not nearly so plentiful this year as
last though fresh fillets, cod steak and
frozen halibut, salmon, swordfish and
Boston mackerel are fairly inexpen-
sive.
% Red Apples Higher
All varieties of red skinned APPLES
are higher. BANANAS, however, are
somewhat more plentiful. ORANGES
are a little higher but oranges and
GRAPEFRUIT are still the best fruit
values available. STRAWBERRIES
and PINEAPPLES continue to be
more abundant and lower in price than
is usual at this season.
There are Chilean and Argentinean
summer fruits available for those
whose pocketbooks are longer than
average.
Spinach and Cabbage Outstanding
Fresh PEAS and BEANS are high
in price but both SPINACH and new
CABBAGE are plentiful and low in
price. To supplement these, young
BEETS, CARROTS and POTATOES
are abundant and inexpensive. ON-
IONS and TURNIPS are higher but
still very reasonable. CAULIFLOWH
BR is lower while Brussels SPROUTS
and BROCCOLI are both higher.
Iceberg LETTUCE is plentiful but
the heads are unusually small, a con-
sequence of California’s cold spell.
CELERY also is inexpensive.
Here are two weekend menus* built
around foods which are readily avail-
able and moderate in price.
Stuffed Celery
Roast Lamb New Potatoes
Glazed Carrots Bread and Butter
Strawberry Bavarian
