CHARMING KNITTERS.
~ LUCILLE CAMERON,

Cretonne knitting bags are beginning
to be Just a bit passe. 1t is better
to have a broche or satin bag which
either tones or effectively contrasts
with your suit. Then you may feel
sure that you are tres chic and may
coolly face any lorgnon. Here are
a few examples showing how some
of our clevercst dressers handle this
problem:
n trim black-eyed little maid. who
was clad in an irreproachably tai
lored suit of brown checked velour
with a huge cape collar of seal and
unique triple belt fastened with
the smartest of amber buckles, car
Iied a bag of brown and yellow strip
ed silk from which peeped a pair
OF amber knitting needles. Her lit
tie tricorne OF brown panne boasted
a single yellow ostrich pompom.
Exchanging some spirited repartee
with a few friends in the entrance
of Stoneleigh Court was a young ma
tron. whose afternoon frock OF hun
ter's green broadcloth cut on close,
simple lines, was gifted with a high
stock and a loose, wide belt OF green
plaid with just a touch Of scarlet
running throurh the plaid. Her bag
of green broche was ornamented with
scarlet and yellow satin apples. A
rather large and dropping -brinmed
hat Of green velvet was supplement-
ed by a scarf OF black fox.
Then envy of all feminine behold
ers was a piquant, little lady who
was wearing a wonderful coat of
rxrFs ,,Nf
line band of wolf. Her toque of in
cendie red velvet floated one Of the
new circular wells with a border Of
chenille dots. The inevitable knit
ting bag was of black and scarlet
broche with a binding ana handles
OF tarnished silver braid.
A sweet faced woman, who has
two stalwart sons on some Flanders
battle line, was noted in the Shore
ham dining room the other day,
wearing a charming suit Of plum
colored velvet with a pointed cape
Of mink, fringed. with tails. A large
hat of plum velvet was crowned with
the mink. while her knitting bag OF
heliotrope and silver broche was
bound with silver braid. At intervals
| she piled a pair OF silver tipped
ivory knitting needles.
A blue-eyed young cherub. who
was telling some other girls what n
perfectly thrilling time she had at
| recent dance at Rauscher's. wore
! an utterly enchanting little frock Of
platinum gray French serge with ex-
| travagant touches of mole on the belt
and paneled back. The youthful COL
! lar and cuffs Of soft pink satin were
! a new and charming touch.After she
| had told how stunning Ralph looked
| in his new uniform she took a weird
| looking piece OF knitting which sha :
| said was a partly finished helmet cap
| out of her silver and rose brocade
| bag and started diligently to work

Rumor Says Six Thousand Dollars Have Already Been Paid on
 Rareom-Mother Frantic.

Springfield, Mo, June 2.-With secrecy yelling each move, the Iecarch continued unrelentingly to- ,day for Lloyd Rect, the 14-mOnths- old son of J. Holland Rect. wealthy retired banker, missing since We'd ncaday night, when he was taken from tho family home here while his father and mother were attend ing a dance at the Country Club, mo trace of him has been found,
 Runners continued tonight. MT. Koet, believing that publicity al ready has injured his chances of paying whatever sum of ransom money might be demanded by the 2bductors, refused to discuss the efforts to solve the mystery.
 The latest gossip is that the fath- Ter already has paid the sum asked by the. kidnapers and that the boy lis to be returned tomorrow after the abductors have time to leave Springfield. But that was denied and could not he confirmed.
 WOULD GLADLY PAY RANSOM.
 Mr. Rect today repeated that he will gladly pay the $6,000 believed to have been demanded for the return of his son. He appears to believe that the boy was kidnapped and that he will be returned safe ly. provided the abductors can OK change the little fellow for the ransom.
 'I will keep faith with the kid napers if they only will give him back" he said.
 Mrs. Rect, one of Springfields best known society members, is not so certain that the boy will come back safely Today she was won dering what care will be taken of him. She hoped that woman might be a member of the abduc- tor band, because a woman would know how to keep him. She fear ed. too, that the band might be hiding some place in the Ozark hills that surround Springfield. What accommodations were provid ed for her son, whether the abduc- tors had warm and proper cloth ing for him, and if he had been safe from the storms and tornadoes
