A Girl Tramp.

Possessed of a wandeTlust that neither
her family nor alienists who have called
in consultation are able to explain, Miss
Mary Patterson, a wealthy young woman
Of Pittsburg, has been forcibly brought
back TO the home of her mother after a
period Of wandering lasting from Thanks
giving day until she was taken in custody
at Waukesha, Wis, August Il.
During her long nine months absence
the girl, plentlfully supplied with money
from the estate Of her father. according
to reports from Waukesha and other cities
and towns in the middle west, scorned
the comforts and the luxury Of Pullman
and dining cars and chose the favored
abode Of every true hobo-the box car,
well filled with damp excelsior and a
hundout wherever It could be procured.
There were no home troubles to explain
her wanderings. Mrs. Mary Patterson, her
mother, is q woman. of wealth and unques-
tionel social position, as we'll as being an
indulgent parent. The only explanation
the slienists have is that the lure of the
road called the girl and she answered,
The estate OF her father was settled
several days before Thanksgiving day.
The girl was at her home the morning on
which the president OF the United States
commands that the people OF the nation
give thanks, but when the family board
gToaned with turkey and cranberry sauce
and the daughter was called to the table
thre was no response. She had departed
for parts unknown.
For months no trace Of the girl could
be discovered, although detective agencies
were employed In the case. A few days
ago, however, her mother received a long
distance telephone call. The voice Of her
Aaruhtar could ha n1afn1v 1Fut{Vg-,Fgba1
She sent her love TO the family, but refused
TO give them any information as 10 her
Whereabouts.
Inquiries at the telephone exchange
proved that the message came from Chi
cago.
Last week the girl appeared at wau-
kesha and registered at the Spring City
hotel as NJ. Z. Graham Of Clinton, Ia.
The attention Of the hotel attaches was
attracted 10 the young woman by her
peculiar actions, among them being a
propensity for sleeping on the floor Of her
room and bringing up food from the dining
hall to eat cold.
The police authorities were notified
Then Miss Patterson disappeared. Search
by the police was instituted and she wa,
found proving about the Milwaukee rail,
road yards seeking a convenient box car
She was taken in custody and imprisoned
IN the home Of the sheriff
aiss Patterson was indignant and de,
handed her release. Later she attempted
20 escape. Asked as TO her identity and
residence, she refused to make any state

= Miss Phillips work In behalf Of poor

title, The santa Claus Lady"
Miss Phillips was directed toward her
work originally because Of her experience
as a typhoid patient in a hospital. There
in her fever she saw endless rotund and
benevolent little Santa Clauses going about
the earth on missions Of kindliness.
When she recovered she said II was an
omen. As soon as she was well the first
effort was made which later grew into the
Santa Claus association, which fed and
cheered thousands Of children in this city
and Influenced every large city in the
country from coast to coast.
This first step was to take to the chill

made. The early morning visit got into
