GIVE an Opera Bag

A pretty addition to the Christmas
gift field is in silk and brocade bags
for opera glasses etc. now so popular.
These bags. whether mounted on metal
clasps or simply drawn up with cords.
are now trimmed with gold and sill
yer embroidery or sequins. If a fOw-
cred or figured silk, velvet or brocade
is used the design is outlined with gold
thread or seouins.
Sometimes no design is used, but the
entire bag, whether of satin. silk or
velvet is covered with sequins placed
quite close together. They are just
as effective. however. when they arc
scattered over the bag at rather LONG
spaces. Gold sequins look awfully wei
either used IN this way or i'm a splash
ing design on velvet in gray, tan, white
or brown; silver also looks very beauti-
full on all these colors in velvet. Heavs
or light gold embroidery is also used
TO decorate these small bags. 1t maS
be either apphqued ornaments or the
genuine gold embroidery.

1t is bad taste to spend a great deal
OF money on a present to a man whom
you know but slightly. in fact, IL is
foolish to give a man a present at all
unless you know him well.

and gloves are useful and acceptable
especially The fur-lined gloves that one

II your friend is OF a studious turn

easily decided upon. as the shops are
full of books that are both delightful
and cheap.
Don't let your gift be OF too frienlly
and informal a nature unless you are

shaving set would not do at all for any
but a relative or a finance.
Remember that a man will be APP Ia

BOY STOLEN FROM MOTHER.
fe Of Dr. william VI. Richards BlameS
Husband for Kidnapping Of Son

nusDhiIu !" h'uhhIpNhS =" Sun
CHICAGO, April 20.-Yale men, members
Of the class of '95 and of the senior secret
society of Scroll and Keys, are believed
by the police to be the men who kidnapped
three-year-old Arson Head Richards from
in front of the home of his mother, Mrs.
Rosie Fl. Richards, to-day.
The boy was kidnapped, 30 the mother
says, by agents Of his father, DR.. William
Richards of New York, son of Eugene l..
Richards, professor Of mathematics at
Yale.
The kidnapping was accomplished with
the aid of a touring car. Two of the men
picked up the boy and ian with him to
the auto. The chauffeur put on full power
and was soon out of sight.
The kidnapping is the elimination Of a
romance that had its beginning eight years
ago in New York. DR.. Richards went to
the metropolis to study medicine. While
there he married Miss Rosie Head, living
in Gramercy Park.
Two years ago, Mrs. Richards told the
police, her husband eloped with n of
the nurses at a hospital to which he was
attached. Mrs. Richards came to Chicago,
bringing the boy with her.
Some months ago Mrs. Richards brought
suit for divorce and got a temporary de-
cree, granting her the custody Of the child
n alimony.

NEW W.4N4MAkER STORE OPEN.
Five Floors In Big Building Shown to the
Public Men Get a Chanc

Public Men Get a Chance
Five floors of the new Wanamaker store
we're opened yesterday, more for public
inspection than for sales purposes. The
building covers the block just south Of the
original Stewart store and towers high above
the old building. The basement has been
open for business for some time and has
been used as an approach to the Aston place
subway station. .
In the new store no department is devoted
to the sale of women's goods, In TACT it
is considered a store for men and for the
home. Housewares in the basement are
arranged in alcoVes. The main, floor is
devoted to mems and boys clothing and
furnishings.
Entering from Broadway the arrangement
of the store is striking. Rotundas extend
up to the sixth floor, where the light, in com
ing down through a court or hollow square
formed by the floors above, is intercepted
by a huge stained glass dome,
The second floor is given up TO pianos.
Each diff erent make of piano has a room
to itself, fitted up on the general lines OF
the average New York parlor that can
afford a piano. On this floor there Is q con-
cert hall with a seating capacity Of 1900. -,
The alcove system applies on the third
floor to the various styles and makes of
china ana glass. Cut glass, Sevres ware,
Royal Bonn and almost every other known
variety is shown separately.
Upholstery and wall paper occupy the
fourth floor and carpets and rugs take up
the fifth, which are all that are ready thus
far.
Above the eleventh floor is a cold storage
plant that can hold 10000 fur ooats. Pegs
FOR is, 900 mufis are provided. The tenn
perature is maintained at is degrees above

Postomce as Debt Collector.

A debt-collecting agency which is run
as part Of the regular public postal
system is the newest Improvement" Of
the postOffices Of Austria. Despite the
novei.y Of the enterprise the plan has
worked admirably, 80 that many thou
sands are collected annually by the
postman throughout the Austrian en-
pire. The system Is very simple. Sup
pose a tradesman in Vienna has an
account due from customer In, say,
such distant town as Budapest, which
he wishes to collect Distance does not
matter In the east. He merely sends
the bill to the postoffice in the capital,
whence 1t Is transmitted to the post
office at Budapest. There the postman
presents it to the debtor, collects the
cash, and RENTS 1t to the Vienna post
office, whence it Is delivered to the
tradesman by postman. In the event
Of payment being refused, which. Of
course, sometimes happens, the creditor
is promptly apprised Of the fact, and
valuable time Is thus frequently saved.
