MONTGOMERY SIDELIGHTS
By ELSIE WHITE HAINES

aged and far smaller than now;
in the days when women wore
their own complications and gloried
in their beautiful long hair; in
short, in the ignorant salad days
of this community, a man named
Richard Holmes bought large
tract of land near the crossroads
called Hollands Corner, now Nor
wood. He built a stately brick
house and established himself
with one hun dred slaves. The
land was worn out and the poor
hungry creatures begged and
STOLE" Because of these slaves he
failed to win the love of a Quaker
maiden whom he fancied. Five
hundred acres were later sold to
David Bready who improved the
land as did Lycurgus Cashell, a
subsequent owner.
Another house to be open on the
7th is "Cherry Grove" built be-
fore 1900 by member Of the
Thomas family. 1t was once the
home of the famous "Marse
Dickey," a man of wealth and in
fluence. Tradition has it that
Marse Dickey at one time owned
the only fine pair of boots in the
neighborhood and was very gen.
erous about lending them to his
neighbors if they wanted to jour-
ney to Annapolis. He was perhaps
one of the first large slave owners
to provide freedom for his slaves.
Cherry Grove was noted for it's
hospitality. "Come and stay as
long as you like" 1t is said that
a visiting couple from Penn
sylvania stayed until two children
were born, "and they were not
twins, either" says tradition.
Also being shown near Chevy
Chase are "Hayes Manor" and
wood End" The former, named
for the home in Kent, England of
the elder Pitt, has been in the
Dunlop family for $50 years. Wood
End, owned by Mr.. and Mrs. Ches-
ter Wells, is built on a part of
the Colonial manor, "Clean Drink
ing"
In several of these homes pill
grims will be greeted by young
women CARRIED in the gowns of
their great, great grandmothers.

The House Of Lords judgement en-

The Right Rev. G. K. A. Bell,
Bishop Of Chichester, said the de-

the marriage ceremony, one prayer
is omitted when the bride is past
the age Of child bearing. It reads:
"' Assist with Thy blessing
these two persons, that they both
be fruitful in procreation Of chill
dren."
DR.. John Heenan, superior of the
