Disappearance in Central Park
Arnold left her parents' home in Manhattan, New York City on the morning of December 12, 1910, intending to go shopping for a party dress. Acquaintances she met on Fifth Avenue later described her as cheerful. She was last seen in Brentano's bookstore on 26th Street, where she purchased a book of epigrams; before that, she had visited Park & Tilford's store at the corner of Fifth Avenue and 27th Street and charged a pound of candy to her account. At the bookstore she met a female friend, who later reported that Arnold had intended to walk home through Central Park. That night, she failed to come back for dinner.

All in our gowns of green so gay
Into the Park a-maying!”
