Mrs. Palmer a Marylander

"a MRS. MITCHELL PALMER
V is a native Marylander, and
comes from long line of
Quakers. She was Roberta Dixon,
daughter Of Robert B. Dixon, of
Easton, Nd. who was president of
the Easton National Bank and also
a member Of the state Senate.
To their home. North Bend, fifty
miles from Annapolis, came men
now famous in war and politics and,
as open house was kept, Roberta
Dixon grew up in an atmosphere a
bit different from the average girl.
Accustomed to discuss the weightiest
matters from early childhood, she
was a serious-minded, well-developed
young woman when the time came
for her to go off to school. She Sc

Here she sat at the same table
with William C. Sproul and his
roommate, Mitchell Palmer, who be-
came very much interested in the
clever young Southerner. A strong
attachment developed among the
three, and while rumor has it that
Sproul and Palmer were rivals in
love, just as they are in politics to-
day, / have it on the best authority
that such was not the case. And
the warmth Of personal friendship
existing between the two men to
this day should be still further
proof of it.
At any rate, Roberta Dixon looked
over the head Of the future Gov
ernor into the eyes of possible
President, and made her decision in
favor Of the latter-as any woman
would. But Quakers are very delib-
crate in everything they do, and it

was her greeting, in about the same
apologetc tone one might have used
if an early caller had caught the
house undusted.
Since that time constant watch
has been kept on the Attorney Cen
erals home, and on the day called
for prearranged interview with
Mrs. Palmer, my brief bag and l
brought the guard instantly from
his little boxlike station, and it went
through a close examination before
we were permitted to be passed in
by the butler.
Their only child, Mary Dixon, who
is ten and a half years old, is an
other weakness of Mrs. Palmer's,
and is her constant companion.
Mary Dixon is studious and bookish
and quite reserved, but she has a dry
wit that bubbles oA at times behind
her quaint thee" and thou" that is
constant source Of amusement to
her family.
Not long ago the Attorney Gen
e.al and Mrs. Palmer were dis

party given by some high dignitary
which they were to attend that night
Mr.. Palmer remarked that in con.
formity with the usual ceremony he
should have called several days be-
fore. but had overlooked it.
"Thee did call, father spoke ur
little Mary. Mother took thee on

big outdoors--to ride and hunt and
fish-Elizabeth Page and Miles
Poindexter soon found that they had
much in common. 1t was not long
before they became fast friends,
which friendship ripened into love.
After few months courtship they
were married, but not before Miles
Poindexter had planted his feet on
the legal ladder and started the
climb to success, his election as
prosecuting attorney coming short
time afterward and landing him
eventually on the Superior Court
bench, where he remained until nom

Mrs. Wood a Campaigner

RS. LEONARD WOOD is a
V good campaigner. She is an
army woman, accustomed to
move from pillar to post and to Gre
ate home atmosphere in the
dreariest barracks fifteen minutes
after she unpacks her trunks.
A number of weeks ago, when
there was a big meeting of the wom-
ems committees in Chicago, Mrs.
Wood descended on one of the big
hotels famed as the habitat of the
political great, with her army kit
we'll packed with ammunition.
From it she produced a tea-table
and the family spoons. She hung I'D
the generals picture, threw a few
cushions and books around, lit the
pink-shaded candles, and was ready
for the at-home to which all the
leading suffragists had been previ-
ously bidden with engraved cards.

grabbed an old army pistol which
hung over his mantelpiece and tried
to shoot him. That he didn't sue

Although he was the most brilliant
student in college and stood at the
head of his class he was expelled
forthwith, which aroused the sym-
pathy and rage Of the student body
to such an extent that the faculty
was forced to invite him back.
But, feeling that great injus-
tice had been done him, Clark left
the state and finished his schooling
at Bethany, w. Va, where he later
taught. He made record here
that attracted attention, and at the
age OF twenty-three was offered the

Mrs. Wood should be the next oc~

and a reflection of the delightful,
social life which characterized thas
Of the Roosevelts.
Born to the Saddle
The Woods have three children
two sons, Leonard jr., now in the
army; Osborne c., who is in busi-
ness, and daughter, Louise, aged
sixteen, who is student at Bryn
Mawr. All three were literally born
to the leather, and have ridden horse
back since they could stick in thei,
saddles, taking endurance tests and
oross-country rides with both Cen
eral and Mrs. Wood from. the tims
they were youngsters.
They are also accomplished
fencers. In the Philippines, where
General Wood was engaged for
time in pacifying the Moslem tribes
and building up stable government,
they were required to take daily les
sons in this muscle-building sport.
an Italian fencer by the name OF
Pesita coming daily to the palace
to teach them.
Before that they spent number
Of years in Cuba, where Genera,
Wood was military governor and
governor general, where they lived
through a period of turmoil and ex-
citement, though in comparative lux
ury and state. Of late years most
of the time has been spent in the
West-at army posts and camps.
So the young Woods have had pretty
stiff training for any experience
which the future may hold.
Mrs. Wood is a devoted mother
and wife. She has given her chill
dren every advantage, and has been
her husbands constant companion
and aid. She is not the aggressive
type Of woman, but rather the old
school type, who believes in wor-
Shipping her husband and sinking
her individuality in his. Marriage
20 her was a serious business. and
she has shouldered her share Of the
responsibility. One doesn't see
much Of this old-fashioned partner
ship in marriage to-day, which lack
of teamwork probably accounts for
the number of "closings-out" by the
courts.
Perhaps Mrs. Wood has stood out
more conspicuously in the matter
OF the military training and physi-
cal development of young women
than in anything else. She was at
the head Of the girls encampment
which was held annually at Chevy
Chase, Nd, before the war, and
which was national training school
under the supervision and direction
OF regular army men, This camp
and the results Of its splendid train
ing and discipline were to Mrs.
Wood what Plattsburg was to Cen
eral Wood.
And while she is not militia
rist--that bugaboo of the so-called
pacltists of the nation-Mrs. Leon
ard Wood is preparedness and eff
cheney from the word GO, and a
great believer in the development
of women physically as we'll as men
tally, so that their bodies may be
made stronger for the added re-
sponsibilities which the new order
of things has placed upon them.

A Hospitable Home

They went to live at Stroudsburg,
Pa, town of four thousand or five
thousand inhabitants, in the Pocono
Mountains, where Mitchell Palmer
had grown up and pursued his law
studies in the Office of John B.
Storm, and later became his law
partner.
The home which they established
there was as noted for its hospitality.
as, North Bend, for Mrs. Palmer is
distinctly homemaker, and has
that rare gift Of not only creating
the home atmosphere wherever she
goes but of making her guests feel a
part Of it.
In Washington the Palmer home
is not the usual formal home of the
Cabinet officer. The library, with
its soft bronze and brown tones. its
book-lined walls, big easy chairs and
couches, open fire and shaded lamps .
the dining room, in old blue and ma
hogany, and the sunny, chintz-hung
bedrooms, are all the embodiment of
comfort and ease and good taste. A
profusion of flowers adds to the
beauty of the rooms and the break
fast porch, which opens into the
dining room.
At Stroudsburg, one of the feat
ures OF the home is the garden,

Was Born in Havana
Fate decreed that Louise Condit-
Smith, now Mrs. Wood, should be
born in Havana, where her father,
Colonel John Condit- -Smith-who, by
the way, served on the staff of Cen
eral Sherman during the Civil War
was stationed. Her mother, who
was sister Of Justice Field, Of the
Supreme Court, died when Louise
was a child, and an ambitious step.
mother had charge of her upbring-
ing.
The colonel was stationed in
Washington a large part of the
time, and the Condit-Smiths became
identified with the old residential
set-the "cave dwellers" as they are
called to-day. Naturally, their
daughter met the cream of the
army, navy and diplomatic set. She
was good-looking and attractive, an
accomplished horsewoman, all-round
athlete and outdoor enthusiast. and
was a great favorite. Her family
thought she had every opportunity
to make brilliant match, and the
story is told of at least two gen
erals who were ready to marry her
at the dropping of her glove.
! But Miss Condit- Smith, the much
sought after, "threw herself away"
as her family said at that time, on
young lieutenant in the Army
Medical Corps, DR.. Leonard Wood,
who was stationed in Washington.
They were married in 1890 after a
brief courtship, and went to station
at an Arizona army post. Here
there were constant outbreaks and
uprsings among the Indians, and
Mrs. Wood saw real frontier life
and hardships. But it gave them
their chance, for by reason of his
service in connection with the cap
ture of the Apache bands and their
chief, Leonard Wood was given line
duty and promotion, and when they
returned to Washington five years
later it was as Captain and Mrs.
Wood.
Physician to Tvs Presidents
Captain Wood was then assigned
to the White House as physician to
President Cleveland, and later de-
tailed in similar capacity to his sue
cessor, President Mckinley. Now, it
