Picturelque Mansion {AC Leonardtown to Be ‘Séene of Afternoon Tea Mrs, Kenneth Wilcox Will Be Hostess Tomorrow at Informal Tudor Hall | Party. LEONARDTOWN, Md, March 14.— An informal tea will be given by Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Wilcox at Tudor Hall, the pieturesque mansion standing on the ‘brow of the high hill overlooking Bret- ton's Bay, at Léonardtown, tomorrow afternoon, from 3 to 5 o'clock, when they will have guests in and out of Leonardtown. Tudor Hall belongs to the Key family of Southern Maryland and Prancis Scott Key, author of the national anthem, was a cousin of this branch of the Key family. History re- lates that President Washington met the freemen of St. Marys beneath an old osk near the mansion, while the late President Grover Cleveland, while on a duck-hunting trip, rested beneath this glant oak, and former President William McKinley, once when paying an unofficial visit to Leonardtown, praised the old tree’s ndeur. Legend has it that Capt. Kidd used this old tree, still standing, as a landmark to bury hi treasures somewhere along the Ma: land shore, Much romance and hi tory makes Tudor Hall of unusual i terest not only to Southern Maryland, hlltLtn ‘Washington and Baltimore as ‘well Modern convenlences have been added to the old mansion, which is to open formally on March 16 as an inn. Most attractive lights have been put around the walls and the quaintest tables and chairs set the old rooms off and add to the charm of the place. An attractive but_quiet wedding was that of Miss Annie E. Reeves, daughter of Mr. and Mrs, Garner Reeves of Oal ley, to Mr. Herbert C. Dews of Balti- more, which took place March 7, at the home of the bride's nts. ‘The cere- mony was performed by the Rev. J. P. Gibson, rector o the historic Christ Protestant.
