THE NEW BLOUSES.
Beads, Jet Girdles, Flowing Sleeves,
Among Embellishments That
Adorn These Garments.
Among the newest offerings In
blouses are smart tunic blouses that
fell almost to the ankles. Other chic
over-blouses drop just to the hips, and
there are clever little blouses that
hide themselves inside the skirt band.
One does not see so many blouses this
season as formerly, but the selection
at the shops is even more elaborate.
For formal afternoon occasions,
there is a long tunic blouse of Span-
ish lace, with wrist length flowing
sleeves picoted at the bottom, The
lower section of the blouse Is split al-
most up to the hips, and all the
edges are picoted. A slim jet girdle
looped at the side lends becoming
fullness at a low waistline. One needs
only to complete this attractive blouse
with a slip of black canton crepe, or
she might attempt a colored siip, such
as tangerine or midnight blue.
An imported blouse is fashioned of
henna georgette elaborately embroid-
ered in fine steel beads. It is a sim-
ple slip-on affair with the oval neck
so fashionable this season. Short
kimono sleeves are banded with a
clever design of the steel beads, and
across the front of the blouse great
motifs are spread. A sash of plain
henna georgette is tied in the back.
A blouse similar to this comes in
steel gray georgette with the bead
trimming and is unusually smart worn
with a suit of Harding blue duvetyn.
Black georgette beaded in the fin-
est gold beads will find a welcome in
the wardrobe of the woman who likes
something a bit different. A long,
loose unbelted blouse, completed by
an accordion plaited skirt of crepe
makes an interesting costume,
Another type of blouse distinctive
for use with a tailored suit is of
natural pongee silk, with contrasting
pipings in either red, green, brown or
blue silk. A few tucks, and a round
collar, cut in square scallops with
cuffs and a peplum to match are no-
ticeable features. The scallops are
piped in the contrasting silk, and a
string tie finishes the neck.
THE TWEED DRESS AND CAPE
®) N (sfels}]
& UNDERWQOD
This season presents a tweed dress
and cape which promises to rival the
ever popular tweed suit. This model
is distinguished by the binding of
lacquered ribbon. The semi-sport hat
is embroidered in colors.
THE UMBRELLAS FOR SPRING
Not Much Change in Style; Favorite
Colors Are Brown, Navy, Red
Purple, Green.
Very little new is being shown in
the spring lines of umbrellas. Some
new patented features, such as re-
mmovable covers, folding handles, ete.,
-are furnishing talking points, but the
colored silk umbrella with a matching
wor harmonizing pyroxylin handle and
‘flat carrying strap or thong is in
sgreatest demand. The colors are the
asual street shades, such as brown,
Havy, red, purple and green.
A novel feature in men’s umbrellas
is the Introduction this season of col-
ors, says Dry Goods Economist. A
London smoke, dark brown and hunt-
er's green are all being shown in
men’s umbrellas. As to whether these
will become popular is still a question,
but men wear soft hats in these colors
and there is reason to believe they will
sarry umbrellas in these very dark
tones.
Children’s lines continue to grow in
variety and also popularity.
Flower Design.
This spring one of the effects re-
peated In frocks is the convention-
alized flower, a tullp border appear-
ing in black on a pale tan ground and
a design of lillies of the valley decorat-
ing the wide sleeve and sash of a
black chiffon and rrepe frock.
WHO GEO. E. ALTER IS.
Republicans of Centre county will
be interested in knowing just who
Geo. E. Alter, one of their aspirants
for Governor really is. Because Mr.
Alter has always been a friend of and
a worker for our county’s two largest
public institutions we feel that all of
our readers should know more of the
man whose activities for years have
been directed along lines in which
most of them are at least interested.
Perhaps no person living in Penn-
sylvania can lay greater claim to be-
ing a Pennsylvanian than George E.
Alter, who is a direct descendant of
Hans Graf, who came from Switzer-
land in 1696 and settled at what is
now Grafdale, Lancaster county. No
person in this State better knows
George E. Alter, who is a candidate
for the Republican nomination for
Governor. :
George E. Alter was born in Spring-
dale, Allegheny county, Pa., May 8th,
1868, and has lived there continuous-
ly all his life. He attended the pub-
lic schools in Springdale, clerked in a
store, worked on a farm, learned sten-
ography and, after several years in
an architect’s office, obtained a posi-
tion as stenographer and assistant in
the office of William Yost, a Pitts-
burgh lawyer. Mr. Alter was admit-
ted to the Allegheny county bar in
1893.
He was a member of the House of
Representatives of Pennsylvania in
the sessions of 1909, 1911 and 1913.
He was speaker of the House during
the 1918 session. In 1919 he was ap-
pointed a member of the Commission
on Constitutional Amendment and Re-
vision. In December of 1920, when
the Governor apzecinted Attorney Gen-
eral Schaffer to succeed Justice John
Stewart on the Supreme Court, he
asked Mr. Alter to serve as attorney
General. He appointed him without
his having been a candidate for the
appointment.
Mr. Alter is a member of the
Springdale Methodist church and for
34 years has been a member of its of-
ficial board. He taught a Bible class
in the Sunday school continuously for
32 years. In 1902 he married Miss
Diana Swanton. They had seven
children, four of whom are living.
In the Legislature Mr. Alter spon-
sored many important bills. He de-
livered the first speech in favor of
workmen’s compensation in the Penn-
sylvania Legislature in 1911. He also
was one of the first advocates of
mothers pensions, the women’s labor
law and child labor law. Mr. Alter’s
declaration of principles contains
among other things his views on the
extension of improved roads in Penn-
sylvania and the extension of the ac-
titives of the Department of Agri-
culture. He has said more than once
that bootleggers and others who de-
fy the laws of Pennsylvania are out-
laws and must go.

——The famous oak tree on the
“An Ounce of Prevention is worth a
Pound of Cure.”
A disturbance of the even balance of
health, which often occurs in these trying
days of reconstruction may cause serious
trouble. Nobody can be too careful to
keep this balance up.
. When people begin to. lose appetite, or
to get tired easily, the least imprudence
brings on sickness, weakness, or debility.
The system needs a tonie, craves it, and
should not be denied it; and the best ton-
ic that many people recommend is Hood's
Sarsaparilla, What this medicine has done
in keeping healthy people healthy, in keep-
ing up the even balance of health, gives it
the same distinction as a preventive that
it enjoys as a cure. Its early use has il-
lustrated the wisdom of the old saying
that “a stitch in time saves nine.”
Preventive treatment now and then calls
for the use of a good cathartic or laxative,
like Hood’s Pills, which are purely vege-
table and act quickly and thoroughly.

THE BIRDS ARE OUR ALLIES.
As soon as the leaves begin to ap-
pear on the shrubs and trees in the
spring, the army of insect pests also
appear. In the birds nature has pro-
vided protection against the too rapid
increase of these insect pests. Soon!
‘ i
the worm-eating warblers and fiy- |
catchers will be with us. They and !
the host of other birds are among our
best friends and merit our protection.
Birds are the farmers’ most efficient
allies.
Now is the time to ge out in the
fields and woods training the ears to
catch the songs of the birds and the
eyes to note the various colors and
identifying markings. The robin,
bluebird, purple grackle, meadowlark,
flicker, red-headed woodpecker, phoe-
be, brown creeper,
kingley, and white throated sparrow
are with us now. A great many more
will soon be here.
No cultural subject can be studied |
with so much satisfaction as that of |
the birds, their calls and songs, their
color markings and their nesting hab-
From time to time a list of new ar-
rivals will be published in the “Watch-

Does Your Budget
Balance?
You read in the newspapers about
the various European governments
trying to make their budgets balance.
A government cannot long expend
more money than it receives, any more
than an individual can. It is import-
ant to balance the household budget,
and included in this budget should be
a proper provision for saving.
The finances of the family must be
placed on a business basis if proper
provision is to be made for the time
when earning power diminishes. Nine
times out of ten the women are the
money savers of the family. They
have the real knack of saving. They
know, too, how to make one dollar do
the work of two in buying.
This bank welcomes the savings ac-
counts of thrifty women and will be
glad to assist them in business mat-
ters.
