The Disappearance Of a Young Soci-
ETY. Women Causes Anxiety.
MISSING SINCE LAST FRIDAY.
The Daughter Of the Former
Attorney General.
HER VISIT TO A CONVENT.

Miss Daisy Garland. daughter Of ex-At-
torney General Garland, has. been missing
from her home since last Friday. That day
she went out in the morning with some
friends. came home again in the afternoon,
spoke of the places she had been, went out
again and has not been seen or heard of
since. Where she could have gone or why
she should have chosen this way of going
without notifying her family is mystery.
1t is known that on Friday morning last
she called at the Georgetown convent and
asked for the mother superior. She spent
while there. and so far as known nobody
in this city has heard or seen anything of
her since.
At the Georgetown Convent.
A Star reporter called this morning at
the convent and was told that the young
lady had been there last Friday early in
the day. She asked to see the Mother Su-
perior, who came to the parlor and talked
with her perhaps for a quarter of an hour
MISS Garland was an entire stranger to
her. Their conversation was entirely on
religious matters, the young lady herself
introducing the subject. She spoke of her
family, her brothers in particular, but
While her conversation was Serious the
Sister noticed nothing at all unusual in
her manner, except that she seemed rather
sad and somewhat depressed. She was
asked to come again and the interview
ended as quietly and pleasantly as it had
commenced.
Wel1-KnOw In Society.
Mr. Garland and his family occupy n
handsome and roomy three-story brick
house, No. 915 Rhode Island avenue. Miss
Garland has many friends among the young
people in that neighborhood. and her disap-
pearance from the city is the subject of A
great deal of discussion and conjecture
among Them SO far as is known. however,
they are at loss to give any good reason
Garland has occupied a rather prominent
position in Washington society ever since
the family first came to this city, when
eral
Although the members of Miss Garland's
family today positively refused to discuss
the matter there is reason to believe that
they are satisfied that she is not in the city.
They were particularly anxious today that
in the newspapers, as they thought the
missing girl would be heard from in the
course OF a few days.
May Have Gone to Montana.
Miss Garland has a brother in Montana,
and 1t is thought more than likely that she
has gone out to visit him, although she had
said nothing about it, She had money
enough for the trip, and it is said that she
could hardly have received permission to
f she had asked 1t.
Friday morning she went out with some
friends, but came back to the house later
in the day. She went out again in the
afternoon, and this time she did not return
Nothing was heard from her after that
but it was supposed when she did not come
back that she had gone to spend the might
with some friends, and serious alarm
was felt about her until Saturday.
MIR. Garlnnd's Family.
Ex-Attorney General Garland is spending
the summer, as is his custom, at his famous
summer home, Hominy Hill, Arkansas.
His young son. William, who is a law
student in his office. went out west with his
father a couple of months ago. Mr.. Sand
ers Garland. the oldest son, lives with his
father and sister. and Mrs. Hubbard. Mr..
Garland's mother-inlaw, in the house on
Rhode Island avenue. Early in June Miss
Garland accompanied her brother to Chi
cago to see the fair. and after having a
pleasant visit there returned home and was
there until her disappearance last Friday in
this city. The children of the eN-Att0rnev
General never cared to go to the Hominy Hill
residence and always preferred to spend the
summers here.
The Missing Young Woman.
Miss Garland is very entertaining. bright
young woman. She was always fond of
society, but her father disapproved so much
of her going out that she went but little.
The last winter he was in Mr.. Cleve-
lands cabinet Miss Garland. chaperoned
by her grandmother. held several recep-
tions and gave several evening dances to
her circle of young friends, who are de-
voted to her. For the last couple of win
ters she has not cared anything about
the doings of the gay world and went out
but SELDOM.
Her health has not been at all vigorous
and aside from her fathers distaste for
such matters he never thought she was
strong enough to keep up to the demands
of 7ciety. Lately her friends who saw
her the most frequently have noticed that
she inclined to be moody and depressed.
Her conversation would run almost exclu-
sively on sad topics and it was always
with difficulty she could be brought to
have a brighter view of things in general.
She was devotedly attached to her father
and brothers they are to her and there
was nothing in her home relations that
could make her at all unhappy.
The Police Notified.
Last evening the police were furnished
with full description of the missing GIRL
and were asked to keep a look out for her
Up to this afternoon they had not sue
ceeded i'll finding out anything definite.
