The trio in paJamas turned back

could no longer hear sounds from

Chalmers venture from her seclu-

TO get into the boathouse.

observed.
Then she lay down and attempted

Then she almost slept. The rea-

rescued from Imprisonment in her
fathers home at st. Michael's. Md, is
slowly regaining her mental. faculties
in the Henry Phipps Clinic at Johns
Hopkins Hospital. The treatment that
she has been given, it was said today,
has increased her weight more than
30 pounds and has added a few words
to her very limited vocabulary. Her
memory, too, has improved.
After her removal to the clinic, the
doctors despaired for a long time OF
restoring her deadened faculties. They
showed remarkable patience and per-
severance to revive any latent facul-
ties she might have. and now express
the hope that within a year she will
