They are elegant, shapely garments—made of beautiful English Kerseys and Cheviots—some in the tight- fitting and others in the reefer- front styles. They are expen- sively trimmed and finished— fine braids and furs being lavish- ly used. Some are silk-faced and some are lined throughout with silk.

Fair, one of the wealthiest men in Kansas, has an army of detectives searching Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, Indian Territory and Texas in quest of his fifteen-year-old son, Norris, who mysteriously disappeared from the family mansion in Sterling, Kan., on the night of October 22. It is believed the boy was captured by a desperate gang of kid- napers because of his father’s wealth, and is being held for ransom. The leader of the kidnapers was a supposed peddier of spectacles. Since the youth's disappearance all that human ingenuity could devise has been done in an effort to find him.
