Mrs. Arnold agreed with her daughter.
Then Miss Arnold, with a smiling fare
well. stepped from the house. This was
about IL 30 in the morning. She wore a
blue serge coat of rich material. the
coat reaching to the hips and cut i'm at
the waist: skirt matching the coat, tan
walking gloves. a large black fox mum
with white points, and carried a black
cloth handbag containing between $50 and
$50 in currency. In addition Miss Ar

Court of the United States, last night ap-

collapse over the inexplicable disappear
ance of his daughter.
Miss Arnold is a beautiful young girl
and was well known in New York So
ciety. She graduated from Bryn Mawr
College in 1905 and has since been con-

and her two brothers, who are in busi-
ness with their father
The tale OF the disappearance of the
young college girl, as related by former
Assistant District Attorney Francis P.
Garven. attorney for the family. forms
one OF the most puzzling mysteries with
which the police and other crime detect

of hours shopping, effecting few pur-
chases and being swallowed up in the
mazes OF the metropolis as though she
had become the inhabitant Of another

All Trace Of Her Lost.

From the moment when the young So
ciety girl strolled out Of Brentano's,
about 1890 Of that Monday afternoon,
up to the present time absolutely no
trace Of her or her movements has been
obtained by the family or the scores of
detectives who have gone over every inch
of the neighborhood.
The night of December IL passed with
out worriment to the close relatives of
the girl. They knew 1t was frequently
her custom to pass the night with one
of her girl friends. and although they
thought 1t strange that she did not notify
them, they did not become really anxious
until the following day.
On December Is Mr.. Arnold consulted
with Mr.. Garven and it was decided to
call to their aid all the resources Of
private detective agency. The Pinker-
toms who were later called into the case,
confessed themselves equally puzzled.
Then, on the Thursday before Christ
mas-his horrible fear almost affecting
his reason-Mr. Arnold went to Deputy
Police Commissioner Flynn. The old
gentleman-sobs obstructing his voice-laid
all the facts before the deputy commits
sioner. Flynn turned over the entire re-
sources of the detective bureau to the
