Expect Her to Return.

Another girl reported missing is Miss
Lena Cotrura. She is seventeen years
old and resides at 1905 Irving street,
Brookland. She went away from home
Tuesday afternoon while her father was
at his place Of business in Center Mar
ket. The police say she has been away
from home before and they think she
will return without much search being
made.
The last time she went away, it is
stated, she visited relatives. Failure
to advise her father Of her prospectiye
visit caused much uneasiness.

efficiency from that best of teachers any
girl can have-her own mother.
Before her marriage Mrs. Ansberry
was Miss nellie kettenring of Ohio.
Like her husband she was born and
reared in the town of Defiance. This
Defiance, is rich in historic association,
having been an important fort during
the revolutionary war, and in command
Of Gen. Anthony Wayne throughout
much of those troublous times. At the
old fort, a picturesque spot overlook
Anglaise rivers, Carnegie library
now stands. To the little town of De-
fiance both Representative and Mrs
Ansberry are devotedly loyal. They al
ways speak of it with that affection
which every man and woman so fortu-
nate as to have been born and reared
in small town feel for its intimate
ties and friendships.
Mrs. Ansberry is regarded as one Of
the handsomest women in the con-
gressfonal set. She has what too many
women OF the present day lack, a SUI
peru physique and superabundant
health. She is fond of outdoor life
and sports. and she has. too. the nor
NAL woman's love of social life She en-
ters upon the seasons round of gayeties
with zest and enjoyment which make
her both popular hostess and a
sought latter guest. She is one of the
intimate friends Of Genevieve Clark
Mrs. Ansberry is in all things the
comrade of her husband. She is thor
oughly familiar with his district in
Ohio and takes a deep interest in all
matters concerning its people She fol-
lows national legislation with interest.
She is fond of reading with her hus-
band: and the two spend many happy
evenings over some volume Of history
or biography.
