MISS SUSAN GLAsPELL'S DOG
VOLTA the Original Of the Puppies in
Her Story, "The
Visionlne."

Miss Susan Glaspell, the author, has
a dog, which fact is of more impor-
tance than might at first appear. For
In her new novel, "The Visionary" are
introduced two frolicsome puppies
named Pourquoi and N'est-ce-pas. And
there are no two more real characters
in the whole book than Why and Amt
II, to use their names in English FORM
1t was Miss Glaspells own dog, a
Bohemian beast, that inspired the Gre
alton of "The Visioning's" twin puppy
clowns, The real dog also has q
French name, VOLTA. When its owner
bought 1t, over In Paris, she wanted at
first to name 1t Raspail, both in men,
ory Of the boulevard on which she
lived and as sympathetic cognomen
for q sensitive souled Partisan dog.
But her family objected. They could
not see their way clear to shouting,
"Come Raspaill Raspail! Raspaill" So
Miss Glaspell compromised on VOLTA.
VOLTA has vagarles. It is a wan
derer. It is collie, and collie 1t
evidently thinks, ought to be afeld.
Whenever It feels that way, away
VOLTA goes, Fortunately 1t wears a
collar with Miss Glaspell's name and
address. She has come to thing moth
ing Of such a phone message as this:
Hello! Is dis Miss Glaspell! Veil,
dis is der bartender bic Hans Bum
melransen's saloon. No, no, vait! l
didn't got der wrong phone number, I
choost want to say l got here your tog,
VIII you come for him?"
Then the author Of "The Vlsolning"
has to drop chapter plans and seek
out Herr Bummelransen's place with
sorrow-and dollar. But were 1t not
so there might never have been q
Nest-ce-pas and Pourquoi.

ARNOLD CLUE
LEADS TO SUSSEX
Missing Long Island Girl Said
to Have Been Seen at
Milford

County Detective Thomas II. Berry,
Of Chester, has received official police
photographs of missing Dorothy Ar
mold, who left her home on Long Is
land about a week ago. The pictures
accOmpay a description of the wO-
mans attire at the time she left for
parts unknown.
The father of Miss Arnold received
letter from persons in Milford Sus-
sex county, stating that a woman
answering Miss Arnold's description,
was seen there a few days ago, with
several men. The communication
states that the woman begged to be
given a chance TO get away from the
male companions but that she seemed
to be unable TO do so.
A postscript TO the letter also calls
attention to the fact that Detective
Berry sat alongside the woman at
Milford in the day in question and
reference is made to this in the let
ter to the father, which was forward
ed TO the Delaware county official.
Detective Berry said that he remem-
bers accompanying a seat near the
girl at Milford, but that there is some
mistake; that her identity does not
tally entirely with the published de-
scriptions. The district attorneys Of
fice, however, is on the lookout, in
connection with the local police, for
the rich girl.
