[WIFE SOLVES MYSTERY OF MAN Perkins Identified as Father) Who Kidnaped Son in At lanta Two Years Ago. —.—_. A woman hurried into Harry Poole’s u! . . .taking establishment, asked to see i body of John Perkins, gazed for a ~.'../nt into the wrinkled face and the web of mystery which had » -rounded the aged man. tb was my first husband,” she said, "I believe he came to kidnap , • little son. He must have been . y in his old age.” I ie woman was Mrs. H. B. Wingard, ~t 36 Capitol avenue. The body was mat of a 6n-year-old man who had ,o. ,i for two weeks at 23 Washington >.reet, a short distance from Mrs. Win gard's home.. He had passed under the name of Moses, and none knew his oc cupation. his past history or a reason fui his remaining in Atlanta. Dies Suddenly on Christmas. in Christmas day he .was stricken wit acute indigestion and died sud drnly, muttering in his last moments t.uit his real name was John Perkins uu. his home was Nashville. Tenn. The body lay without flowers or i.mdiy callers until today, when Mrs. \\ mgard called at the undertaker's and revealed the reason for Perkins' com ;..g to Atlanta. He iiad come to the city several times in the past year and each time had stopped Robert, his son and cine, on the way to school,” he said. ”H asked the child if he didn't want •o go live with his elder brother, Paul, and made him promise not to tell me about the meetin" I believe he intend ed to kidnap Robert as he did Paul, two years ago.” Kidnaped Elder Son. file Perkinses were divorced four irs ago and Mrs. Perkins was award ed the custody of her two children, Paul and Robert, now aged sixteen and I twelve. Mrs. Perkins married H. B. Wingard and was happy in her new home. But two years ago Perkins came to Atlanta, kidnaped the elder boy and took him to Savannah and then to Hillsboro, Ga., where the boy is now living with his aunt. The affair was a newspaper sensation at the time. Since then Perkins had come to At lanta several times, according to Mrs. Wingard, and each time met and talked with the younger boy. Mrs. Wingard believes the old man really loved his children and could not bear separation from them. Perkins had made no ef fort to see his former wife and she did not know of his presence in Atlanta on this occasion. It was only when she .saw in the papers that an old man giving his name as Perkins had died suddenly at a boarding house that she thought of her former husband. Her ' sit to the undertaker’s followed. Tin- body of Perkins probably will be taken to Hillsboro for Interment.

There are a good many actresses who have attained success through the good fortune of a stature —either large or small—which will fit Into parts most suitable to them otherwise. Most of them, therefore, are extremely grateful that they were endowed either with corpulence or were just low and slim, whichever the case might be. But there is no gratitude in the heart of little Miss Marjorie Cortland, who will be seen at the Lyric theater next week in the leading feminine role in “Baby Mine,” due to the fact that she grew up small and dainty. No sir-e-e. Miss Cortland says it may be all right for Billie Burke to be I small, or Trixie Friganza to be overly i large, and for both of them to be 1 thankful for the stature bestowed upon ' them. But as for iter, she prefers—-well, just j read for yourself what she says about 1 it: “I just hat. being little.” she ex ■ claimed. "I would like to be twice as big as 1 am—yes. fatter than Walter Jones, and as tall aS, let me see, we'll say Eddie Foy. Then 1 could look down on people just as they look down on me now. It is simply awful to be j small. You ran realize that .'.ourself | when you know that I find satisfaction in standing on a chair and absolute consolation in sitting on the top of a stepladder. "Big women can buy pretty things to • wear without going to all the trouble of | having them made to order. You cant I appreciate how much this means.

That's the way with everything made to order. Cloves, shoes and dresses. And then, after I have had them made to order, what. Is the re sult? Just this: In my estimation, modern clothes ate all designed for the purpose of making large women look small. As a result, when I have got my nice new things 1 look like an animated doll In up-’o-date toggery. If they would only come back to the costumes of ancient Greece- -flowing robes, san dals and all that sort of thing—how happy I would be." HAVE YOU A DEAF CHILD?
