Dorothy Arnold
Dorothy Harriet Camille Arnold (July 1, 1886 – disappeared December 12, 1910) was an American socialite who disappeared while walking on Fifth Avenue in New York City in December 1910. The circumstances surrounding her disappearance have never been resolved and her fate remains unknown.〔(The Vanished Heiress: What Happened To Dorothy Arnold? )〕
==Family and education==
Arnold was born in New York City,〔1900 United States Federal Census〕 the second of four children of perfume importer Francis Rose Arnold and his wife Mary Martha Parks Arnold (''née'' Samuels). She had an older brother, John (born December 1884) and two younger siblings: Dan Hinckley (born February 1888) and Marjorie Brewster (born August 1891). Arnold's father Francis was a Harvard University graduate who was a senior partner of F.R. Arnold & Co., a company that imported "fancy goods." His sister, Harriette Maria Arnold, was married to Supreme Court Justice Rufus W. Peckham.〔New York Times, January 26, 1911, "Niece of Peckham Strangely Missing", p. 1〕 They were descendants of English passengers who arrived in America on the ''Mayflower'' while Arnold's mother hailed from Montreal, Canada.〔 Due to their social standing, the family was listed in the Social Register.〔〔
Arnold was educated at the Veltin School in New York City and attended Bryn Mawr College where she majored in literature and language. She graduated in 1905.
After graduating, Arnold continued to live at the family home on 108 East 79th Street and attempted to begin a career as a writer. In spring 1910, she submitted a short story to ''McClure's'' magazine which was rejected. Arnold's friends and family, who were largely amused by her writing aspirations, teased her about the rejection. This prompted Arnold to rent a post office box to receive correspondence from magazines and publishing houses. She submitted a second short story to ''McClure's'', "The Poinsettia and the Flame", in November 1910. That story was also rejected. According to Arnold's friends, the second rejection left Arnold dejected and embarrassed.〔 Two months before she disappeared, Arnold asked her father if she could take an apartment in Greenwich Village in order to write. Francis Arnold forbade Dorothy to move out of the family home telling her that, "A good writer can write anywhere." Arnold continued to pursue a writing career but found no success.
