Evelene McIlvain, a pretty girl Of Is
years of age, who has been reported
BY her parents as missing from her

but indignant at the newspaper reports
of her.
When seen this morning by a re-
porter, Evelene declared that there was
absolutely no truth in the statement
that she met ht-complexioned man,
or any man.
Il came down from my aunts, Mrs.
Cadman's, home in Philadelphia, on
the 5th of July, and went back the
same evening. Some girl friends Of
mine whom 1 met in Philadelphia last
winter were planning for a jolly time
at the seashore. and I made arrange
ments to go along with them. I did
not tell my mother for fear she would
not let me go, so I went TO a friends
home on my return to Philadelphia that
night, and the next morning I left
Philadelphia with the party Of girl
friends for Atlantic City.
Il supposed that my mother would
think was at my aunt's, and my aunt
would think I was home.
'T left my friends at Atlantic City be-
cause Of seeing my name and what pur-
ported TO be my picture. but was my
mothers. in the papers, and because OF
The untruths they were telling about
me-"
did you ever have aspirations to go
Oh the stage?" was asked Evelene.
Never did, nor did I ever make any
attempt to try to get on the stage" she
said emphatically. and" she added
"that story that I had or wore a red
silk dress and was seen with a light
somplexioned man is absolutely false
Il never wore a red silk dress IN my
life. nor was any man or men connected
with the trip took"
Mrs. McIlvain seemed happy to see
her daughter back and merely said:
1--WE were glad to see Evelene"
what did her father say to her when
she got back?"
"Oh. he said he was glad to see heI
and that she should have let US know
where she was going" said her mother
Both seemed to be happy. and Eve
lene declared she would stay hom'
hereafter. or let her mother know
where she went.
