Ine different kinds of wood, as sug-

coarse grain and require paste filler:
soft woods have a close grain and need
only liquid filler, the purpose of

varnish. If the Woodwork is to be
stained, the stain is applied to the
raw wood before the filler is applied

NEW HAVEN, Conn. April so.

She was the long-missing Dorothy Arm

on the day of her departure. it was
learned to-day.
i HI. Sherin, sales manager for the
Merriam Manufacturing Company, saw
her counting one roll of bills that
amounted to $500 and saw that she had
other money as we'll. She told him that
she had to get enough together to
take me where want to co., She
asserted that she was Dorothy Arnold

didn't pay much attention to her."
said Sherin. "but wish had now, for
am convinced that she Is Dorothy
Arnold or some other girl of rich fam
ily."
Friends and relatives Of Mrs. Ingra-
ham recalled to-day that ever since
they had known her, about four years
in all, she had kept with her clippings
concerning the disappearance of Dor
othy Arnold, but it was not until last
Saturday, after several fearful days,
that she made the claim that the pic
lures accompanying the clippings we're
pictures of herself 49,.
The money which Sherin saw is be-
lieved to be some of that which reached
Mrs. Ingraham periodically in the form
of postal money orders. 1t is thought
that she waited until she had accu-
mulsted several of these remittances--.
none of which ever exceeded SIM en-
far as her friends knew--before taking
her strange departure.
One of her friends saw, her tear o
pink plume from her hat with the re-
mark that, in trying to trace her, her
husband doubtless would describe her
hat as having pink plume. To the
same acquaintance she confided that
as Dorothy Arnold she had destroyed
all photographs of herself she could
find before leaving her home in New
York in 1910
The search that is being made for
her has not uncovered her trail beyond
this city. 1t has been discovered, how
ever, that for 4 year prior to her APP
pearance here as mill girl in 1917
Mrs. Ingraham, then known as Dorothy
Kane or Dorothy Marshall, worked as
maid for Mrs Charles A. Lille, of
Hartford
There, as in Durham, she impressed
her, employers as being distinctly su-
as Kane and believed to be her hus-
band called on, her occasionally in

she were free from her husband.
