Sir: Is It only Utopian dream that the women
Of New-York may grow to the enlightenment OF
recognizing the Importance of an early closing
effort in the shops? Are New-York women
selfish that they will not consider the health and
velfare of their poorer sisters? Lack Of imagina-
ton is the bottom of all our limitations! How shall
we make the shopping woman take into her con-
seriousness the blessing 1t would be TO her. the busy
tired salesvoman. to leave the hot and noisy shop
half an hour earlier than she has always done?

A kind of trimming for fur garments is
broad double frlling founce effect of mousseline
de sole. The garment is bordered with the material.
and in instances the interior OF the collar and
sleeves will be lined with the moussene. With
for dark black furs the best effect is obtained
with black. This puffy finish softens the heavy

for evening wraps.

Never before have velvet, corduroy and velveteen
dresses been fashionable for afternoon functions

KIDNAPPED CHILD
 FOUND AT LAST
She Was Taken from Her Home in Fl Paso, Texas,
 Six Years Ago

Indianapolis March 16-Sheriff Boone of Fl Paso. Texas, came here today after May Charlotte Stevens, an n-year-old- girl, who was Kidnapped at her home in El Paso by an actress six years ago. The child is in the Hanley Industrial School near Danville, Ind. and the sheriff, ac- companied by two detectives, went there after her.
 The case is one of the most remark able that has come to the attention of the police in years. The child was discov- cred in the school by an Indianapolis woman who visited the place. By chance she asked the child concerning her past life, and the little girl told a disconnect- ed story about being taken away from her home. The Indianapolis woman took an interest in the case, and wrote to the authorities in Texas for particulars Why the child was Kidnapped is not stated. She was taken about the country by the ac- tress. Four years ago the child was taken in charge by Miss Brasier, of LaFayette who was not cognizant of the fact that the little one had a home, and a short time later she was placed in the Indus- trial School
 The police were told that the father of the child and died since the Kidnapping The mother and a sister, who is teach CT in the Fl Paso school, live in Fl Paso. The actress, who was known as Jean nette," disappeared several years ago.
