CHICAGO, Jan. 5.-Miss Jeanne
Anna De Kay. a girl who wished to
do something big" was still missing
today.
She disappeared from Hull House,
where she had been under the pro-
tecting wing Of Miss Jane Adams
while she sought a field of endeavor.
Friends believed she may have
covered up her identity in order to
get a start az the bottom in some
sort Of welfare work in which she
was interested. Fear was also ex-
pressed that she may have become
respondent because Of unsightly
marks on her face, the result OF
smallpox and a birthmark on her
forehead which she believed marred
her beauty. She had frequent crying
spells recently. according to Hull
House matrons.
Miss De Kay came to Chicago
Christmas eve from Lucerne, Switzer-
land, where her American millionaire
parents reside She wished to do
social and welfare work under Miss
Adams direction.
