tertained her friends during last sum

her summer home there hereafter Thaf
she Will not desert St Louis is evidenced
however, by the fact that her father has
a large residence there.

her fathers home-was purchased by
James Campbell OF Vera Lawrence Sic

In addition TO being an heiress, Miss
Campbell gives promise of growing into

school days and the future would seem
bright for her.
Consideration Of these facts leads to
the conclusion that not far ahead of the

The case of DR.. Crippen and Ethel Le-

gulse from Europe when wanted on a
murder charge by London's police, leads
the London Spectator to observe that "a
moral or material disguise is, OF course,
the chief part of the secret of disappear

effectual method of all. Imagine a man
who can permanently disguise himself as
a woman, so that no one would believe
even on the closest scrutiny that he was
not a woman; he might merge himself in
a new community for the rest Of his life
with little risk of being discovered. But
the possibility Of such a disguise is rare
indeed; il would have to be aided by nat
ural defects such as a falsetto voice, hair
lessness. and a feminine cOuntenance.
