KNITTING BAG HELD SECRET
French Bulldog Leered From Folds OF
Satin Lining, Much to Surprise
of Spectator.

She was a very pretty young wom-
an, extremely well dressed. Her tai
lored suit was perfection, her boots
and gloves immaculate, and her hat.
correctly tilted, had the smart lines
that women envy.
AS though all this wasn't enough,
she carried the most adorable knit
ting bag, says the Kansas City Star.
1t was made of some wonderful vel
vety brocaded stuff and the huge flow
ers of crocheted yarn somehow looked
more. stunning than those on other
handsome bags.
With it all the face that peeped out
from under the hat was so demure and
serious that you knew the knitting
she carried was not a sweater of or
ange or turquoise, but something made
of sober gray yarn, for a boy some
where in France"
When the elevator stopped to let her
in 1t gave the woman nearest her q
chance to more closely examine the
lovely bag, and she did not wait for
opportunity to knock the second time
She suddenly cried out, for just as
the girl stepped in the ridiculous face
of a French bulldog leered from the
soft folds of the satin lining.
