Here's my new picture Of Dorothy
Arlzwrlght-!sn't she a darling-taken
in the frock she wore when she was
maid OF honor for Maitland Marshall,
now Maitland Knapp. Dorothy. who is
MRS MarshalIs niece. is spending the
winter with her, while General Mar
shall is n the West on an inspection
trip. incidentally. Mrs. Arkwright
thinks Dorothy not quite old enough
to mako her debut, so thought her best
away from Atlanta, where the Ark
wrights the Colouits and their kin arc
the center Of all things social. Here
Dorothy is keeping UP with her studies
and is only supposed to go out IN an
informal way. but she is a very popular
young person. is constantly invited and
understand Mrs. Marshall has to beat
the boys OF with a stick. so the ex-
pertinent in keeping the young lady
''in" doesn't seem 10 be much of a sue
cess. However, she is having a de-
iightful winter and Maitland Knapp,
who is very fond of her little cousin,
Is tlckled to death to have her near by.
