Patten, the Prospective Groom, ls Well Known Sportsman Of More Than Local Fame New York-One of the most baffling mysteries of many years is now confronting the police of this city. Miss Ena Woodside of -i-Rockwell Ave., one of the leaders in New' York's younger set, has completely and suddenly vanished-and only one day before her wedding. , Needless to say, the would be groom, Mr. Elmer Pat- ten, is ina statevof greatest anxiety. f Th'e wedding, which was to have been performed 'at the bride's home, by Reverend Zeamer, was being rehearsed just before Miss Woodside'sfdisappearance. Elaborate decorations for the wedding were being planned by one of the ,foremost artists of the day, Madame J. Allison. ' ' The best man, Mr. Gordon Pierce, a well known auto racer of this city, states that he believes he has found afvaluable clue to the mystery. It is in the form of a small black French heel, which has been torn off of a lady's slipper. The more I thought about it the more interested I became, and finally my curiosity caused me to fling my paper aside and hurriedly make my way towards.Miss Woodside's house. As I had not seen them for over ten years, I wasted no time in closing the gap between myself and them. There stood Mr. R. Ken drick, one of the most worthy and best-liked athletes of the day. His coat lapel was one glistening mass of medals. With him were two of the most famous musicians the world had ever known-and I must say I felt quite a thrill of pride to know that I was acquainted intimately with two members of the famous Wieligman Band. Mr. G. Jenkins was said to have dethroned Paderewski the very night he made his debut with this famous band. In the same group was a tall, lank man whose face I could not place. Then I caught the name Stan. Oh, of course, Mr. Stanley Woodward, partner of Miss Rose Gold, the great anti-prohibition lecturers, who had just composed Moonshine and Red Roses. By the time our little group had finished recollecting past exper- iences, it was certainly no time of the night for me to go snooping about on a mysterious scent, so reluctantly I turned my steps home- ward: As I entered the hotel I absently glanced toward the switch- board, and awoke to the fact that the girl pulling and pushing the plugs was certainly attractive. I noticed the placard tacked over her desk read Miss R. Wyantf' I seemed to be in an especially receptive mood this evening for noticing likeable traits in people for I particu- larly enjoyed a short but elevating talk with E. Moek, an expert elevator operator, who had been employed at the hotel for about four months.

l l til ll 1 n min 'um lr n n :fn '1 'll'll'. n 1 H l ll llffll I ll l ll nf disappearance have been questioned, but no evidence or clues have been found. ' M. Adle, the butler, and S. Frumhoff, the maid, at the home of Miss Woodside were quite enthusiastic this morning when they came running' in to where Chief of Police Madden was checkng over developments, They triumphantly placed two small objects on the Chiefs desk which, on closer in- spection proved to be two small black hairpins. But their efforts and delight were apparently in vain, for Miss Wood- side has blonde hair, and consequently would not have very much use with b-lack hairpins. The wedding party, which was rehearsing just before Miss Woodside's disappearance, was interviewed, by The Three A Musketeer Reportersl' of A1nerica's foremost newspaper- Miss Fuller, Miss Greer and Miss Caneday. Miss Rumsby fthe famous accompanist of the Arst Sym- phony Orchestral states: I came to Miss Woodside's house at 1:30 yesterday to rehearse the wedding. Miss Woodside herself greeted me and seemed a very staplevreflection of brightness and happiness . The rehearsal began sharply at 1:45. After the rehearsal, Miss Woodside left the room. I can give no clues or information as to her whereabouts at present. Miss A. Shanin CPresident Coolidge's private secretaryj who was to be maid-of-honor at the Patten-Woodside wedding, furnished a bit of news . Dorothyous Andrewing, one of the stellar dancers of the Nemzoff, Kaplan and Galitzky Broadway Showhouse, was present at the wedding rehearsal, nd was seen by Miss Shanin inaudibly conversing with Miss Woodside at odd times during the wedding rehearsal. The police have decided to secure the aid of Scotland Yard's most snooping detectives, Mr. Beall, Mr. Jeffords and Q Mr. Hawman, as means of unraveling the mystery. Miss M. Johnson, president of the Lioness Tamers' Club, offered her services and also the aid of all her club members in furthering developments in the mystery. I really began to have hopes of Miss Woodside's recovery now for surely the villainist villain could not hope to escape with three such detectives as named in the newspaper account, on his trail. This article recalled to my mind their wonderful and inspiring work in recovering the diamond UD necklace of Mrs. Crum, formerly Agnes Simpson, of this city. Miss Simpson had received the diamond C?J necklace as ,a wedding present from the noted orator, Mr. Schedufskii Crum. The same afternoon, I ventured to police court . Although I had always believed in woman's rights, I was quite disconcerted when I saw a young lady rise imposingly in the judge's desk and sternly rap the gavel for silence and order in the court. As time advanced, I became a Hrm believer in Judge Vanl-Iorne's efficiency for the office she held. No new evidence or suspicious characters had been seen, and I left the roo-m as mystified as ever concerning Miss Woodside's disappearance.
