Here am in the Hotel Dupont at Will
ningtOn. one Of the most beautiful hotels
in any Of the smaller cities of the United
States.
This is my first visit to Delaware, so I
look forward to the morrow and long
automobile ride through the country,
which is famed for its beautiful orchards.
We are searching for locations, and that

II you speak to a pitiruIly old, bent
mother, she will have a story to unfold :;
the children gossip OF comedies which
probably cause more laughter to hear
than when they take place in their own
homes. The conductor has a story to tell
often many Of them-and It Is even hu-
morous to listen to the porters giving a
pretty fair imitation Of a Keith Circuit
vaudeville act
Nesting into a comfortable chair IN the
parlor car, I swung around to look out
Of the window and noticed for the first
time that a very attractive girl, not over
2, occupied the chair next to mine She
was singing and grooming to a baby which
face was hidden, I noticed she was dressed
in the most exquisitely embroidered coat
and bonnet.
A large, rather severe looking woman,
whom I Immediately thought to be her
mother. sat next to her, watching every
move the young girl made. Once she
leaned over and spoke to her calling her
attention to the sunset, but the girl put
her finger up to her lips and with great
solemn eyes, warned the woman not to
speak aloud-she would disturb the baby.
The woman cast a sympathetic but
rather pained glance at the girl; then
taxing up her magazine, resumed her
reading.
Lullaby. Lullaby. Mothers baby bye"
the girl sang aloud, and we who heard
1t all turned our smiling faces toward
her, for there is nothing which arouses
ones interest like the young mother cud-
ding her baby. I stood it as long as I
could and then I leaned over.

The girl looked at me with strange, un-

slowly with her mouth. but not with her
eyes
Would you like to see her?' she asked.
oh, could I?'' and I threw my maga-
zine down to rise and stand over the
baby.
''Hushr' whispered the girl. 7 do not
want to wake her"
7 will be very quiet" replied, lean
ing closer.
She drew a soft blue blanket aside and
turned the baby esward me. For a min

the face Of a large bisque doll.

MISSING DEACONESS,
BORN IN RICHMOND,
LIVED At ECONOMY

Miss Winifred Brown. the young dea-
cones who disappeared from the Dea-
coness Home, indianapolis, week
ago is an Economy girl and was born
In Richmond. She is especially well
known here and Miss Hazel Gordon Of
this city was a guest of Miss Brown at
the Deaconess Home At the time Of
her disappearance Miss Gordon is a..
present assisting In the search for the
young deacOness.
Miss Brown was very popular girl
at Economy before she left to take up
work in the DeacOness Home two
years ago.
Relatives of Miss Brown who live
two miles northeast Of Economy are
greatly puzzled over the girls strange
disappearance. The father, Walter
Brown, and the brother. Glen Brown.
are assisting In the search.
May Be In South Bend.
Clues concerning the whereabouts
OF Miss Brown indicate that she went
to South Bend, Ind, in her flight. She
told no one about her going. Friends
cf the deaconess hold the opinion that
Miss Brown suffered an accute attack
Of melancholia as result Of the un-
dermining of her health and that she
was determined to get rest by hiding
herself from her friends.
Statewide interest in the disappear
ance of the young woman has been
shown In the past few days. Scores Of
communications in regard to the young
religious worker have been received by
members of the board of directors of
the hospital.
