 There was a very pleasant, profit able and we'll attended meeting of the Ladies' Aid society at the home of the new president, Mrs. Smith, on We'd nesday afternoon At the business meeting, among other less important matters, it was voted to assume the purchase of new organ for use in the church services. Refreshments were served, birthday cake for the secre- tary, Miss Palmer being conspicuous, as an appropriate accompaniment. A birthday poem by Miss Church was read.
 William Parazek, the meat man, and his brother, Ralph, recently discharged from the service, have received letters for the first time since the beginning of the war from their mother in Aus tria. She and other members of the family lived so far inland that their endeavor to get into communication through the Red Cross had not been successful. The letter that was writ ten in May said they had experienced no extreme suffering as they were liv- ing in a farming country. They evi- dently had not received food and money sent to them by their sons here. They are planning to bring the mother to this country, and if necessary, Ralph will go for her.

MISSING WIFE SOUGHT
Mrs. j. wv. Cain, OF Washington
Disappears After Trip 10 Mt Airy.

Almost frantic over the disappear
anc0 Of his wife, who, it is said, had
$500 in her possession, Joseph w.
Cain, director OF dancing academy
at 1918 New York avenue, Washing
ton, d. c., asked Marshal Carter to
aid him in finding some clue to her
whereabouts.
Detective Kahler learned that Mrs
Cain was seen at Camden Station at
Sis p. m, Saturday. He also re-
ceived information that a man was
carrying her travelling bag. Mr..
Cain was unable to advance a. rea-
sonable theory. for his wife's disap-
pearance. -.E
Before her marriage Mrs. Cain was
Miss Elizabeth Hood, Of Mount Airy.
According to- her husband she had
gone to Mount Airy to have an ac-
count Of 5000 transferred from a
Mount Airy bank to a Washington
bank. : The money, it is said, was in
the Mount Airy bank in Mrs. Gains
maiden name.
Investigation, it is said, revealed
that the money, instead of being
transferred to the Washington bank,
was drawn out by Mrs. Cain and it is
believed that she intended to return
to Washington with it. She left
Mount Airy late Saturday afternoon
and the last seen Of her was at
Camden Station.
Detective Kahler learned that Mrs
Cain was in conversation with a
woman acquaintance on the train to
Baltimore and that before she left
the coach she was seen talking with
a man. The man, according to the
police, might have been someone she
knew when she lived at Mount Airy
Before appealing to the, police, Mr.
Cain made an investigation and he
too, learned that his wife was at
Camden Station with a man.
There is possibility that Mrs
Cain went to the home of friends
there, but Mr.. Cain expressed the
opinion that his wife would have
communicated with him if that had
been the case. Mrs. Cain is described
as being % years old, feet, inches
tall, having dark hair, dark com
plexion and being of medium build
She wore a black satin dress, black
velvet hat, a black three-quarte1
coat with fur collar and a gray
fox scarf.
