NEW YORK, Feb. 25.—This bicentennial celebration or George Washington is going to do a lot for his home-life reputation. In calling to mind the colonial scene, folks are remembering that he was surrounded by such homey things as banjo clocks and quaint old lamps. He wasn’t always clutching a hatchet and hacking at cherry trees. Can’t you imagine Martha Washington saying to him. in their home at Mt. Vernon: “George, you’re readin a poor light. Do come over here by the lamp.’’ And he doubtless moved into the glowing circle of one of those charming old lamps. Glass Lamps Used Today Glass lamps with parchment shades, often decorated with gold eagles and stars. So charming that even today we copy them for our electric lights. And he certainly must have seen his tall dignity reduced to a funny squat figure in a bull’s-eye mirror, since this type glass hung in Mount Vernon. Convex, you know, in a round gold frame. Often with an eagle perched on top. You'll see these mirrors giving an authentic note to many Early American rooms today . . . and incidentally adding an impression of greater depth—which is an important point in the modern, small room. Banjo Clocks Arc Colonial Banjo clocks, too, date back to Washington’s day. They re ususi-y mahogany, with little scenes pain ed on the glass at the base, as you see in the sketch. And those patriotic early Americans liked to have eagles spreading their wings protectively over these timepieces. They scatter stars liberally on everything, too. On dainty perfume bottles and powder jars. Blue glass, with gold stars, just as they’re reproduced today. Early Figures Natural Do you know the bric-a-brac that goes with colonial scenes? Elegantly wigged little men and women dressed in their colonial Sunday best. Or shepherds and shepherdesses posing gracefully with their crooks. Yes, animals too ... no relation to the queer hybrids of glass you see prancing around on tables in the modern design. But lifelike horses and Staffordshire dogs. So if you want to be accurate in your colonial room, don’t let in a penguin or a Scotty, however appealing he may be. But do have a pair of silhouettes on the wall. Os George and Martha, if you like. It’s a good way to be colonial and to commemorate them, too. Bicentennial Plates Smart And another very smart notion for commemorating Washington is the bicentennial memorial plate.
