HIGH-BRED AND BLUE-BLOODED LADY BLUE The Aristocratic Miss of Drexel Boulevard Eludes Her j Maid and Elopes Up an Alley With Member of the ' Common Herd Rescued by Private Detectives, . Taken Home and Her Sins Forgiven. A new scandal is rending the ranks of our wealthiest and low-neckest porfcpacker aristocracy. The details of theaffair are shrouded in 'mystery, anji all those who took any part in thescandal are observing the strictest silence. It seems that Lady Blue, a great favorite of Edward Morris, the Pork King, had been acting strangely for several days. She was heard to express openly her desire to meet "some real fellows instead of a lot of society pinheads Who could do nothing except drink champagne and Scotch highballs and dance the tango." Naturally such socialistic talk thoroughly alarmed the Morris fam ily, which has quite forgotten the days when its founders went around In shirtsleeves and chewed tobacco. Accordingly, lady Blue's maid was instructed to keep the jdosest watch upon her at every hour of the day and night, even being ordered to sleep with her at nights. Yesterday morning the maid, left Lady Blue alone in the sun -parlor of the Morris home at 4800 Drexel boulevard. The maid was gone only long enough to wave a kiss to the police man on the beat, but when she re turned Lady Blue had disappeared. Trembling with fear, the maid made a wild search through the pala tial Morris home for the society de butante who had been left in her charge. There was no trace of this mem ber of the Morris household in the house, and at last the fainting maid was forced to give the alarm, ad mitting at the same time her costly negligence. The great house went into an up roar immediately. The maid was fired, just as she swooned into the arm? of the second footman, who is English and wears a moustache, but no aitches in his vocabulary. Every male servant in the house hold was. sent out in a different di rection in an automobile to hunt for the missing heiress. An hour passed. One by one the servants telephoned in that they could find no trace ofXadyBme. gUffglggfggggfe
