PRETTY FLORENCE SHOWLER STRANGELY DISAPPEARED FROM HER HOME MONTH AGO. ———-— Some of Her Friends Say She Has Gone to the Orient to Marry an Old Sweetheart. Wiorence Showler, not quite eighteen years of age, 5 feet 61-2 inches tall, welghing 125 pounds, a blonde, with Jaughing blue eyes and a dimpled chin, has been missing from the home of her aunt, Mrs. Barbara Algo, No. 29 Lenox road, Flatbush, since the night of May . 2, and every effort of relatives and friends to find her has proved unavall- ing. The circumstances surrounding her «disappearance are peculiar and full of mystery. On the night of May 27 Mrs. Algo was away, and the only occupants of the house were her sister Josephine, who had come to make a visit, and her niece, Florence Showler, About 7.30 o'clock Florence asked her aunt if she had any objection to her going to an entertain- ment at a church In the neighborhood ‘hich she had been accustomed to at- tend. The aunt readily gave the desired per- mission and Florence left the house say- ing she would be back early, The aunt saw no more of the girl until 9.30, when she came tripping into the house, wet to the skin, for it was then raining hard “Oh, auntie!” Florence exclaimed, “it Js ralning pitchforks, and some of my friends are out here on the corner just soaked, I'm going to take them an umbrella,"’ So saying and before the aunt had time to make reply, Florence bounded out the open door, carrying an umbrella, which she had snatched from the rack in the hall. That was the last seen of pretty Flor- ence Showler by her aunt Josephine, and with a single exception none of the girl's relatives or friends has seen her and not one of them has heard from her directly or indirectly, or has any idea where she is. Many theories are advanced to account for her mysterious disappearance, but all these are based now on her way to him and will become upon conjecture. Florence Showler once loved a young |jeared- whol has neon 1 man who two years ago went to the] mhilippines tune, eventu- {the mother of Char Philippines to seek his fortune, eventu- | oerapher in. Eighth avenue, Early the ally drifting to China, where, it is satd, forgune smiled upon him. Not long ago he wrote to his little | sweetheart in New York that he had | been prosperous and was in receipt of a handsome income. A friend of the | missing girl believes this young man sent money to Florence and that she is there, but his moti ! to sit awhile, saying that her son would soon be in. ‘The girl wore a bi Y and at first Mrs. Allen did not her. She soon discovered, howe she was Florence Showler, who ‘so two years before had been employed by PUSS FLORENCES SHOWLER his wife. Sat Up All Night for Her. Florence's aunt Josephine sat up all night Becoming alarmed shi made a search of the giri's room 4 there found a note, which had eviden been written In haste, in which ence said, in substance, that she gu ed she would not be much missed and refore would go aw: only person, so far as can be Slorence Showler since the night of M n crning of May 28 a young girl led at Mr. Allen studio and sald ne Wished to seo him.

She had a desperate struggle with an alleged burglar whom she caught in her apartments, and notwith- standing the fact that he threatened her with a penknife she held him un- til the arrival of a policeman, who placed him under arrest. Mrs. Lippman, after securely locking up her apartments, went to the gro On her return ‘ten minutes later she found two men in her rooms packing her property. She seized the two men.
