POMFRET WOMAN
 NOT AUTO VICTIM

 ed Fatally Injured
Gable Assures Friends That Injuries Are Not Serious.-Was Visiting
 Daughter

Pomfret and Putnam friends ol Mrs. Harriet Peck, widow of the founder of the Pomfret School, wer, delighted to learn this morning that contrary to the reports printed in the New York papers earlier in the week to the effect that she had been fatally injured in an automobile accident which occurred at St. Quentin, France on Memorial Day, she had suffered only the slightest injuries and the whole story of the accident was gross. ly exaggerated.

The re- semblanee of the Madame Mangin's E name to that of Mrs. Peck's daughter, Madame Mascret, caused even greater uneasiness to friends. The story was cleared up this morning when word was received from Miss Esther Peck in New York City, saying that she had received the most reassuring news by cable from St. Quentin. i.
 Mrs. Peck went abroad several weeks ago to spend several months with her daughter, Madame Mascret, who lives at St. Quentin. Madame Mascret was Miss Margaret Peek. Early in the war she went overseas as a worker with the Red Cross and there she met and later married Captain Rene Mascret of an old French family of St. Quentin.
 Mrs. Peck is very we'll known throughout this part of the county. With her husband she had large part in the founding and the splendid growth of the Pomfret School. She makes her home in New York in the winter with her daughter, Miss Esther Peck, and spends a portion of each summer at the Ben Grosvenor in Pom. fret Miss Esther Peek occupies dur ing the summer months an attractive studio on the crest of Prospect Hill Pomfret
