week published the police report
Of the disappearance Of Frances
Ebert, 1s, from her home, 1905

Then this paper found Frances
at her office and published her
story-that she left because things
went awry. Today, there came to
The Times the following letter
from Frances mother which tells
its own pathetic story-better than
It could be otherwise told:
Frances left her home at 1906
Pennsylvania Ave. N. w, Wednes-
day while ], her mother, was at
work. Frances and / ate break
fast together Wednesday morning
and she did not tell me anything
OF any intention of leaving me,
her brother and sisters.
There was not any argument.
II left the house first because ]

and Frances was very pleasant and
said she would look after the sup
per II I did not get home right
after work.
But when I got home, I did
not see her about the house. My
Otner daughter said, mother,
Frances has left home today and
has taken all of her belongings
with her. She left in taxi
IT was not aware of her where
abouts until Friday afternoon when
went to DIR. iClark's office, in the
building where Frances works, for
a treatment.

office IL she intended to return
home. She said that as long as
she was already away she thought
she would try to get along alone.
II asked her what she was pay.
