Peggy Scott

Bu A’ f,' 4 Service * LONDON, Sept. 7. —While thousands of women mourned the death of Rudolph Valentino, wept, sighed, stood in line for hours to get a glimpse of his features, one woman —only one—took her own life in his memory. Here she is. She was a chorus girl, dancer, movie scenario writer, She was popular at the London night clubs. Her name Is supposed to be Peggy Scott The police, anxious to lift the veil of mystery of her ltfe, and thinking perhaps she had another identity, circulated this description: "Age 27, five feet in height, complexion fair, blue eyes, bobbed hair, medium build. Her jewels included a row of pearls, a platinum ring ket with black stones, and an antique silver ring." But here is a picture by Peggy herself, written Just before she died, that tells the most about her life: "I'm only a little butterfly, made for sunshine. I cannot stand loneliness and shabblness. I cannot endure having no one to pet me and no >abies to love.”

VALET, HERO TO CAL, DIES AT CAPITAL He Made Four Presidents Best Dressed Men in the Country. fin I'nilrd Prcn WASHINGTON, Sept. 7.—Major Arthur Brooks, Negro valet to four presidents, died today at his home here after a long; illness. His end marks the gradual passing of the old White House retainers. He was particularly beloved by the entire executive official family for his kindliness and obedience. President Coolidge was particu* larly pleased by Major Brooks' services, and only last week the presidential spokesman took occasion at the Summer White House to extol the virtues of the aged re- I talner. “Major Brooks is one of the finest men in Washington,” he declared. Once Commander The title “Major” was a misnomer. Brooks was a lieutenantcolonel, or was when he passed the age limit for the reserves. For many years he was commander of a batallion of militia in the District of Columbia. “He Is every inch a soldier and a boll of a good valet,” on£ of the president's military aides commented once on the strange combination of "dog robber” and commander. Brooks came to the White House under the Taft regime, and President Taft became one of the smartest dressed men in the capital, de spite his then unstylish girth. Then Wilson President Wilson, like most college presidents, was not a very smart dresser. But when he visited Europe his excellent taste in clothes was the subject of considerable press comment. President Harding likewise underwent a change for the better in the matter of clothes when be was elect-' ed to the executive office though be always had a reputation for sartorial elegance. Cal Difficult But perhaps Brooks' most difficult subject was the present occupant of lfiOO Pennsylvania Aye. Coolidge'S stature and figure are of the type to give' had nights to clothes designers. While he was vice president his clothes were subjected to considerable friendly criticism and he was the despair of the ladies’ gallery of the Senate. Now, he is considered one of the well-dressed men of the 90untry and one of the few' short men who can wear a silk hat with dignity. Brooks had been in retirement, more or less, for the past year, due to ill-health. There is no noticeable effect on the dress of the President ! however, principally because of the careful training Brooks gave his assistant, John May, before leaving him In active charge of the executive wardrobe.

With a cessation of heavy rainfall, which has marked the month to date, swollen givers and smaller streams today reached their crests or started receding, after disrupting transportation in some sections of the State.

Fair weather is due to continue tonight, but unsettled conditions are expected by Wednesday evening. Crop damage over the State as a result of the rain has been heavy.
