Mrs. Marguerite Dickins was one Of the
most popular women in the social circles
Of the National Capital. Personally she
was always genial and radiant, devoted,
sincere. affecti0nate, and a woman of deep
feeling. The poor and needy always en-
listed her interest AS chairman of the
relief committee appointed by the citizens
committee which had charge OF arrange
ments for the reception that was rendered
to the members of the First Regiment Of
District Volunteers when the regiment re-
turned last September. Mrs. Dickins was
the leading figure in one of the most noble
charitable undertakings OF this city. AL
though the work. which was largely main
tained through her energy ana the assis-
tance of her associates. is yet in progress,
she received unstinted praise for her de-
votion and unfiinching interest long be-
fore the terrible calamity which occurred
yesterday.
The American National Red Cross, the
Society of the Daughters of the American
Revolution, the Associated Charities OF this
city, the Society for the Prevention OF
Cruelty to Animals, as well as other kim
dred organizations, mourn the death OF
Mrs. Dickins. She was an active and ener-
getic member OF these organizations 1t
was often a source of wonder how the
little woman managed to attend to so many
things at the same time with SO much
thoroughness and business tact.
Before her marriage Mrs Dickins was
Miss Marguerite Bates. She was born in
New England and is a sister of Charles Z.
Bates, the well-k1own New York horse
man. Her father, who is prominent in
New York business and social circles, is
now at Cohasset. Mass, near Boston, and
telegram was sent to Cohasset acquaint-
ing Mr.. Bates with the details OF the sad
event
Miss Bates was married to Captain Pick
ius at Newport, r, L, in 1878. Captain
Dickins was commander of the Tallapoosa
at that time, and although it was not Gus
tcmary for naval officers to take their
wives with them on cruises, Mrs. Dickins
accompanied her husband on the vcyage
of the Tallapoosa into South American wa
ters. She travelled extensively in South
America and frequently contributed arti-
cies TO magazines and newspapers concern e
ing the life and customs of the people OF
South American countries. These she re-
vised and published in book form, the vol
ume being called .'Alongshore in a Man
of-War.''
Mrs. Dickins was well known IN New
port society. her husband having spent
three years there as superintendent of the
training station for naval apprentices.
When the Duke Veraugua and his family
visited the United States during the pc
riod of the Worlds Fair. Captain Dickins.

house. On odd stands and racks were to
be found also an arpaylof tea pots, cups.

china which studded the walls was of old

some incident, custom, or building asso-

had been obliged to stop yesterday after

put down the charcoal fire. such as is COM
