society to its very depths. It eon
r cerru one of the leading hostesses

: nected and Immensely rich.
"Her associations with a colored
' man became so marked that they
were the talk of the weat end. Then
on day tha couple were caught In
compromising elrcumstanoas. -Told
to Clear Out.
"The sequel Is that the society
woman has been given a hint to clear
out of England for a couple of years
to let the affair blow over, and tha
hint comos from a quarter which
cannot be ignored."
The lord chief Justice Impounded
a copy of the publication containing

"Never In the whole course of my
, life have I met the man referred

Tour Mends,'1 said the attorney,
"have named Che colored man sup
posed to be referred to."
i "Tee." said the witness, "but 1

she looked In the "want ad" col
umns for a Job. She found one, as
a secretary In an orphanage.
Broadway and the people of the
how world fascinated her. Theirs
was the life she wanted to write
about. Soon It occurred to Miss
Mauk that the best ny to learn
about any sort of Ufa Is to live It.
She came here equipped with
beauty, brown eyea and golden hair,
as well as her knowledge of stenog
raphy. Carrying on at the orphan
age, she got an engagement to ap
pear In the floor show at a restau
rant. The hours did not conflict.
She was able to aee Broadway from
the inside.
Broadway also saw Miss Mauk,
a4 recognized the charm of the
33-year-old Texaa girl (maybe Id all
falrneaa it should be recorded that
ahe was born at Clovls, N. M.)

Now ahe la In his revival of "Show
Boat," and her beauty atands In an
ensemble that Includes such glorified
girls as Marcelle Edwarda, Co J a Eric
and Elale Rossi. The experience at
the orphanage Is something of the
past. .
But," aays Miss Mauk, who also
saya she Is Scotch-Irish, "I learned
a lot about life there, too."
The stage Is thrilling, she finds.
She can atng and dance and she
won't turn down opportunities to
get ahead In musical productions.
But whatever ahe does, wherever
he goes, on the stage or off, Miss
Mauk will be writing about life aa

PEN-JEL
i By F. B. Col ton,
(Ajuociattd Press Science Writer.)
WASHINGTON. (P) The mystery
of Colonel P. H. Fawcett, lost since
1925 in the Brazilian Interior, where
he wu seeking s clue to the "lost
Atlantis," has lured another expedi
tion to search for him.
Its leaders, Robert Churchward, an
Englishman, and Capt. John. O. Hol
man of Brazil, will try to learn which
of the theories about Fawcett'a fate
Is true. Among the theories are:
That Fawcett found the "lost civil
ization" he was seeking and remain
ed to study it.
That he found life In the Interior
so much pleasanter than civilization
that he decided to stay there.
That he was captured and held
prisoner by hostile Indians.
That he was slain outright by In
dians, or died of hardship.
Trapper's Tale Inspires Hunt, .
The new expedition, now on its
way to Brazil, was inspired partly by
the report of a Swiss trapper, Ste
phan Rattln, that he saw Fawcett
alive And well last October, between
the Tapajos and Madeira rivers, far
In the Brazilian Interior. Rattln said
Fawcett was a captive of Indians,
Hunting for Fawcett In the huge
hinterland of Brazil Is much like
bunting for a needle In a haystack.
He disappeared seven years ago In.
the enormous state of Matto Orasso,
which had an area of 570,136 square
miles, almost as large as France, Oer
many and Spain combined.
Although part of the state la set
tled by cattle ' raisers, much of It
remained wild and unexplored, in
habited only by primitive Indians.
The country Is not a Jungle, but a
fairly open grassland, with few trees
except along the rivers.
Traced Romantic Legends.
Colonel Fawcett, who Is said to
have been considerable of a mystic,
became Interested In local legends of
rich gold mines, waited cities in which
lived races of men who had lost con
tact with the outside world, fair-
skinned Indians ruled by women, and
bright lights that shone at night
irom the windows of old ruins.
Other explorers describe him as
ng In these legend the answer
to the riddle of the "lost Atlantis."
Fawcett himself wrote Just before he
disappeared, "I am confident we shall
find the key to much lost history."
Various expeditions have explored
the area where Fawcett disappeared.
Some' have returned with the con
viction he is dead, others that he Is
still alive.
