= little details, that 1 know l shall

It luncheon the other DAY l was told
most interesting story about the pa
re nts of Mrs. William Writ Dixon. or
cc Irse you remember Mrs. Dixon. She
Is the widow of Judge Dixon. who but
/ fo- his untimely death several years
ago. would have come to the Senate
] from Montana, l think Mrs. Dixon is
s. well known in the west. not only
a. the wife of one of the most noted
liz Uyers. but for her own charming per-
sunality. In Washington she Is a great
/ fa vorite, especially among the young
| |fu ks She is a much sought chsperon.
[Genevieve Clark. Helen NcCumber, and
/ the little Burieson girls are great favor
| |ites of hers and she is always doing
|something nice for them and their
/ friends
Dear me. I'm wandering away from
the story. You remember how You
|loved TO read Winston ChurchilTs The
|Crisis?'' Well. the story of courtship
of Mrs Dixon's parents is told In that.
LT'he BryCe-Carver marriage Is the
|Pa pin- wilcox in reality. Her mother
v IS Marie Papin, sreat-great-grand
c. lighter of Pierre Laciede, founder of
- Louis and Frenchman who figured
i -ominently in the early fur trading
business. Her father was Jeremiah
" ilcox. of Ohio.
Mrs. Dixon has remained in Washing
ton all summer this year tor some rea-
Sun and she seems to be having quite
?. ENJOYABLE time Most of her friends
among the Congressional folk, and
|they are stiIl with us.
The coUrtship OF Senator and Mrs.
Esv Pittman of Nevada is told in The
Spoilers" by Rex Beach.
You will be rather surprised al the
news of the marriage of Cornelia Bryce
and Clifford Pinchot. The wedding
takes place today in the Episcopal
Church at Roslyn, Long Island, the rec
|ioT of the church, the Rev. THOMAS
Brewer. officiating in the presence Of
few friends. On account of the very
arious illness of Mrs. Ptnchot, the we'd
cling was hurried and therefore quiet.
Iudeed, Susan, very few people in
Washington knew anything of the en-
|Sgement between Miss Bryce and nv
Pinchot. Miss Bryce is the daughter
OF Gen and Mrs. Lloyd S. Bryce.
OF New York and Roslyn, L. l. Her
father was Minister to the Netherlands
during the Taft administration and un-
less my memory deCeives me, she and
j elem Taft were friends and visited
each other.
Then, too. I'm told that Congressman
Edward W. Townsend of New Jersey
has set forth his own courtship in the
Chimnie Fadden papers.
Indeed. Srsan. many, folks well known
E0ciaiiy are often better known profess
s.onally. : A little success along dra-
matte, literary, or musical lines, is
hardly reason to bar one from the social
y Orid.
Why. look at Russell GrisHoId Colt,
o. Rhode Island, married TO Ethel Bar
more?
met Ethel Hickey the other day,
5Lst returned from a summer jaunt
and looking extremely well. She told
Ire of delightful house party she and
ier brother, Harry Hickey. had At
t-05ed, Just outside OF Philadelphia.
1cre the guests were invited for two
eeks but at the END OF that time de
AIRED that they were having too good
time and refused to leave. Later she
med her sister, Mrs. DiIworth Hih-
? srd, at Chelsea. \. j.. for stay IF

I'd sisters.
I.anette Hines Smith has gone up to
sit Laurie Smith and General and
rs. Smith at their place on Long
land. Lanette and Laurie are not
--Iauves. as most folks think. They
10Th came out about the same time and
very chummy.
Such of Washington society as yet
ngers here journeyed TO New jersey

'laryey and Marcellus Thompson. The
edding was a garden affair and vety
city, on dit. The color scheme WAS
TI.nk, for the bride said that IL custom

should not have a rosy background.
