pretty homes built by as many Dixon
brothers on the eastern shore of
Maryland famous for its good things
to eat" 1t is probable that the
100000 bride will introduce some
of these good old Maryland dishes
which she enjoyed in her childhood
into her lovely new home at Bryn
Mawr.
Mr.. Prick visited Bloomfield soon
after the announcement of the en-
gagement in the Spring, accompanied
by Miss Dixon. The old shore home
was deserted this Summer Mrs
Dixon and her children spending the
Summer north and Mrs. Frick spend
ing nearly the entire season with the
Tricks at their Summer home at
Pride's Crossing, where she and
Helen Prick planned all of the details
of tie wedding.
The bride was a great favorite
with her father, and he always spoke
of her as my daughter Frances"
while her mother called her the
little mother" Mr.. Dixon was a
native of Talbot County and died
about three years ago after attaining
prominent place in the financial
and business life of the city. He was
president of the Smith-Dixon Com
pany, and his daughter as a little
girl in short dresses used to come to
the store and swing around on the
tall stools while waiting to go home
with her father.
Mr., Dixon was one of the founders
aud first president of the Calvert
School, where his daughter received
her earliest education. She started
when she was just five years old,
learning quickly the things usually
taught in the kindergarten. For an
hour at time she would stitch away

Then there is Katherine, who will
be one of this seasons debutantes,
and will, no doubt, visit her sister
IN her Bryn Mawr home. Then there
is attractive little Dorothy, who will
not make her debut for several years,
and little Deborah, with long auburn
curls, and Gertrude, with long, light
hair, the only light-haired members
of the Dixon family. These little
girls were flower girls for their sister.
The baby is a dear little boy Of six
years, who is a great favorite with
his big sister, and who was one Of the
most interested spectators at the
wedding. The oldest child is Mr..
William T. Dixon, Jr. She also at
tended Miss Masters school at Dobb's
Ferry, n. Y, where she graduated.
Mrs. Frick was to have her debut
the year her father died, so she never
made a formal debut, not caring for
the social whirl. Her name was in
cluded in the list of debutantes the
following season. She did not attend
the germans of the Bachelor Cotillon
Club, nor did she have a big tea to
mark her formal coming out. She
entertained in the same quiet man
ner that had characterized her as a
girl, not forgetting her old friends,
and adding new ones to the list. Her
cousin, Miss Virginia Bartlett, made
her debut the same year, and many
entertainments were given jointly
for them.
1t was the following Winter that
she went abroad with Mr.. and Mrs.
Prick on board their yacht, but that
was not the first time she had met
Childs Prick. She had played dolls

tons. The Presidential attitude, in this as well
as other matters, will meet with approval.
The President throughout the entire year has
had Jupiter near his natal sun as a benignant
factor.
AS for the months weather, Saturn in an
angle of the current lunaton induces to cold
and dampness, and the snow will fall sooner
than usual this season. The death rate will
increase, and coroners will have some very
peculiar cases to deal with. Legislative halls
will not escape this proximity of Mars to
Neptune in the death house.
Money centres will be disturbed by the err
ratio Uranus, and considerable unrest in the
markets will be manifest in the last half of
the month. Unloading processes will be the
order, with December to follow as record
month in declines.
Suicides in dramatic and art centres are
scheduled, and alongside of these come some
notable and successful productions in both
books and plays. Literature and science

could be heard above the others in
the kindergarten songs. The little
girl with big brown eyes and long
dark curls won friends quickly. She
was always simply but beautifully
dressed in dainty white frocks with
dark velvet coat and bonnet to match.
She was vivacious and full of life
and learned quickly.
The Calvert School was very ex-
elusive, and the pupils were the chill
dren Of the -four hundred" Mrs.
Dixon organized an exclusive dancing
class in connection with the school,
which she chaperOned until the time
of Mr.. Dixon's death and in which
her daughter took a great interest
from the time she learned her first
steps. She went through the Calvert
School from kindergarten to the
highest grade. A strange coincidence
is the fact that she was one of the
ried since the school was founded,
sixteen years ago.
Then she attended Bryn Mawr for
several years, having for school
mates several of the young girls who
acted as her bridesmaids. But there
were other things for her than books
in those days, for her mother
had old-fashioned ideas about the
woman's place in the home. The lit
tie girl was taught to cook, to dust
and to keep house. Many were the
times she rebelled, wanting to play
outside, but her mother persevered,
and to-day one of the richest of
Baltimore brides can pride herself
not only on knowing what should be
done in her new home, but how it

The Dixons have not occupied this

Cliffehurst, another handsome home
at Roland Park, one of the most
fashionable suburbs near the city.
1t is lovely old place, with shady
walks, rustic bridges and babbling
streams that delighted the young
bride because she was fond of out-of-
doors and spent much of her time in
the open. 1t was here that the twin
sisterst Mary White and Elizabeth
Allen Dixon made their debut last
season. They were pretty young
girls and very popular, entertaining
frequently at Cliffehurst, one of the
most notable affairs being a garden

What the Stars Promise for November

X 1ONEMBER functions under the benefc
N Jupiter, with Sagittarius rising at the
lunation and the luminaries applying
to good aspect of this regent.
This indicates a peaceful period, and by
the same token triumphs may be expected
for the interests of reform and good govern
ment. The bosses, who have been fattening
upon privilege and who are counting upon
continuance of graft should be prepared for
serious reverses. The conjunctive point OF
the luminaries in good aspect with Jupiter
as ruler of the masses in this figure, presig
nifes spirit of justice abroad in the land
and gives an amicable trend to public policies.
Venus in the zenith is of benefit to eXecu
tives and betokens the ascendancy Of the
social element. Hymen will prove most dill
gent, and some notable marriages will take
place. This position of Venus is most happy
augury for the aristocratic brides Of this
month but those in The lower walks of life
should postpone their weddings until Deem
Der, for Saturn's position in the seventh angle
foreshadows early widowhood for them IL
they marry during the present month.
