But Soon Returns Him

PHILADELPHIA. Aug. 2O.-The fam
lily Of Edward H.. Null, of North Elev-
enth street reported to the police last
night that their four-year-old son Ed
ward had been taken out by the nurse
maid and not returned.
While Mr. Null went to police head
quarters for a warrant for the maid on
the charge of abduction she appeared
on the steps Of the Null home with the
child and as suddenly made an effort
to disappear. Mrs. Null attempted to
catch the girl. who had told her mis-
tress that she feared she had better
leave her position.
The police say that as the maid had
only been in the employ OF the Null
family for a few days and from the
statements OF the family that this child
was kidnapped in New York less than a
year ago they are of the opinion that
she was working In the interest OF some
one who sought to obtain possession of
the child second time. She has not
yet been caught.

train. to Boston, where she expects
to marry Lee F, McCready. of Hall

her become Mrs. McCready.

his way from Halifax. and Telegraph
ed that he had missed a train In Bos-

Every fall and spring, to be exact,
when the styles change. the merchants
and shopkeepers are as secretive as
children about the forthcoming fash
ions, not word will they tell, except
ing a hint here and there whispered
with becoming stealth and awe. Then,
when the ultimate moment is reached,
the showcases are filled and the latest
sartorial wonders are exhibited for the
inspection of the open-mouthed and
widely eager throng (at least, that is
what the shopkeepers think).
Well, after one has bought all of the
wonderful summer bargains and has
taken advantage of a sale to buy an
early Christmas gift in the way of a
neck-size pearl chain, which will be
much worm" says the clerk. the wink
is given, the secrets leak out, and the
victim discovers that long chains in
loops, like bell cord draperies, are the
only kind that the really refined and
up-to-date woman will wear.
l found that out today, and a little
shop on + street, just above Thirteenth
which let me have the news, deserves
a reward. The reason given for wear
ing the long chains Is that they will be
much more artistic in combination with
the Robespierre collar, which one must
wear, whether it chokes one TO death or
not.
Pearls of all kinds are in great de-
mand, the larger and more perfect, the
better. Silver as material for hair
ornaments and shoe buckles has been
found to be impractical, as II does not
hold the stones well. and tarnishes
easily. At the shop mentioned alu-
mtnum buckles from N.75 to 81, are to
be had. the latter set with brilliants
and the former style plain. BarTettss
