NiCn FOR worry
On leaving home she had about 20
rcnts in her purse. her husband SAY g
and this fact makes him think u I'M
prohahtr that she may have gone to
! her parents In New York. However,
she might have procured funds for
the trip.
AfY. Brown Is especially asixious that
Hi parents be kept In ignorance OF

Hat blown by Wind
Mrs. Browns hat was found float
inT near the southwest corner Of the
east basin and In the opinion OF Res
ervoir Keeper r. j. Vaughan had drift
where the parasol WAS picked up. An
east wind was blowing al the time ana
thus caused tn. hat to drift In the ep-
puSste direction, he thinks.
Close BIZ the point where the nat
was found are located the south wheel
gates connecting the two basins, and II
has been suggested that the hat might
have fallen from Mrs Browns head
rs she leapt into the voter after step
ping over the fence frten the elevated
rtane base on which the wheels rest,
In doing this the woman need not
have made any Impressions in the
coating Of mud above the water line,
as would doubtless be the case at
other points around the basin except
at the other wheel gates on the north
side Of the emhankment.
Mr. Vaughan liz convinced, however,
shat the woman did not seek death in
the lake. and he feels confident that
she will be located sooner or later
either at her parents home In New
York or In some other part of the
country.
No Hat pins Found
The hat worn by the woman has 2
rubber band attached te it and BY
this means she could hold IL in place
without the use OF hatpins, If she so
desired. No pins OF this sort have
been found in the vicinity OF the basins
and X is not believed that Mrs Brown
used any In fastening her hat.
s Assuming that Mrs. Brown did not
hump into the reservoir, srr ieft the
sIieighborhccd hareheaded unless she
brought another hat with her to re-
place the one found in the water. No
one In The neighborhood recalls see
linz bnreheaded woman between the
hours Of 10 and l. O'Clock Monday
morning which IT. the time Mrs.
Hrcwn is supposed IL have visited the
park.
Keeper Vaughan SAYS he was in his
house between the two basins during
this period and he IN inclined 10 think
that ne would have either seen OF
heard the woman splash III the water
lhad she Jumped In near where her
hat WAS found.
At !; r. Al, Tuesday seArchers We're
ktiii busy with their hooks but they
have little hope Of finding the body.
They say they will hardly drag the
1fh&r basin.
s Many curious persons visited the
reservoir during the day and asked
the keeper AMI his assistant many
questions
