Excerpt from The Home, Vol. 3: A Fireside Monthly Companion and Guide for the Wife, the Mother, and the Daughter
Retiring with her husband to pri vate life in 1817, Mrs. Madison main tained the generous hospitality which had characterized her at Washington. Montpelier was always full of guests, drawn thither not more by the sage virtues of its host than the gentle manners. Of its hostess. There the character of Mrs. Madison had a new and still more beautiful development. The venerable mother of Mr. Madison occupied one wing of the family man sion, where she kept her separate es tablishment, and retained the tastes and customs of anteorevolntionary times. It was interesting to see these two admirable women together. The wife of Madison, watching over her aged and infirm mother, was more lovely and attractive than when she presided over the festivities of the cap itol. She soothed the declining years of her excellent relative with the filial tenderness of a daughter, and the care ful devotion of a mother.
