Mrs. Barber, of Mifflinburg, has been the welcome guest of her son-in- law and daughter, Rev. and Mrs. J. S. Hollenbach, at the Reformed par- sonage. Mr. and Mrs. Lester Spotts and daughter Dorothy, of Sunbury, spent Sunday with Mrs. Spotts’ parents, Rev. and Mrs. J. M. Stover, on north 2nd street. Roland Kramer, of Milroy, accom- panied Russell Sylvis to this place to pay his father a short visit. During the past two weeks H. D. Kramer has been quite ill with grip, but is able to be about as usual. Mrs. John Durst had as callers Sun- day afternoon her brother-in-law and sister, Mr. and Mrs. Ira Gramley, of Millheim. Mrs. Durst has been a suf- ferer all winter with rheumatism, but at this writing is slowly improving and her friends hope soon to see her about as is her custom when able. Herbert Merryman was called home from Pittsburgh by the illness of his family and the death of their five month’s old son, Herbert Asbury, who was laid to rest Saturday afternoon in the Lutheran cemetery. Funeral serv- inces were conducted in the Evangelic- al church, by their pastor, Rev. C. B.. Snyder. Russell Sylvis on Sunday brought his mother, Mrs. Sylvis, home from Milroy, where she has been during the winter. Russell returned to Milroy Sunday and Mrs. Sylvis went to Re- bersburg; where she will visit her sis- ter, Mrs. Eloise Winters Brungart, be- fore she leaves for her new home in Kaneville, Ill. Thursday afternoon of last week Mr. and Mrs. Henry Mowery drove to town and made a few calls among neighbors. Since early winter Mrs. Mowery has been shut in, owing to her having had a stroke of paralysis. - She has not improved as much as her family and friends could wish, and is not able to walk about as usual. Only by driving can she get away from her home. Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Crouse have their daughter, Mrs. Boyd Vonado, and two children, of Bellefonte, with them during the time Mr. Vonado is in a hospital in Philadelphia, where he had an operation on his eye for the removal of steel. Two pieces were re- moved and the great pain which he had been suffering at once ceased. May he return home much benefitted and soon be quite all right. Mrs. George McKay, of Philadel-! phia, and Mrs. Witmer, of Salem, were called here by the illness of Mrs. Mc- Kay’s mother and Mrs. Witmer’s sis- ter, Mrs. Phillips, and her brother, Calvin Moyer, of Freeburg, who has been visiting Mrs. Phillips for some time. Both have been grip victims. Mrs. Phillips is slowly. improving but , we are sorry to hear that Mr. Moyer is still confined to bed. However, their friends and neighbors hope they may both speedily recover. Mrs, Wit- mer returned home Saturday. Sunday afternoon Rev. C. B. Sny- der delivered his last sermon for the conference year, which concludes a five year pastorate, the length of time for any minister on the charge. March 1st, conference convened, and may Rev. Snyder be returned as he is an excellent preacher, has done splendid work and is an extremely popular man and minister among the other church- es; broad minded, unselfish, always ready to respond when called upon to render any service among his own parishioners or among those of other denominations. During the past two or three weeks there has been an epidemic of grip prevailing throughout the county and this community did not escape. The greater portion of victims are about again as usual though Mr. and Mrs. B. F. Stover, Mrs. H. A. Acker, Mrs. James E. Holloway, Mrs. Phillips and . her "brother, Calvin Moyer, are still sufferers; and there are others of whom the correspondent has not been informed. It is not an intentional slight when some names are not men- tioned; it is either an oversight or be- cause of lack of information. Usual Course of Action.

Upon entering his office the attorney took up his brief, rushed to the big dictionary and began a search. Fnal- ly he turned to his partner. The latter awaited developments. “The dictionary,” stated the emi- nent lawyer solemnly, “disagrees with my spelling of this word.” “In that case,” suggested the equal- ly eminent colleague, “take an appeal to the encyclopedia.” CENTRE HALL. Miss Ethel Rowe spent Sunday at home. Aaron Lutz has been suffering with an attack of the grip. A great many people are sick with grip and severe cold. Mrs. W. F.

Mrs. Gunsallus, who makes her home with her daughter, Mrs. John Delaney, tore the ligaments in her leg on Tuesday evening. On Sunday evening J. Shannon Boozer had the misfortune to slip on the ice and in falling, broke his leg just above the ankle. A Washington's birthday entertain- ment, given by the grammar school, in Grange Arcadia, on Thursday even- ing, was enjoyed by all present.

Miles Bartley arrived home from Lock Haven last week and expects to stay on the farm with his father, James Bartley, the remainder of the winter and the coming summer. Lirs. W. E. Weight is able to be up and around the house, after suffering with a slight stroke of paralysis. This makes the second stroke Mrs. Weight has had, although this one was not as serious as the one she had about a year ago. . Last Thursday morning Mrs. C. N. Yearick went to the James Bartley home, expecting to spend a delightful day, but after being there but a short time she was called home by the sad news of the death of her brother, Fred Leathers, which occurred in Dal- las, Texas, where he and his two brothers had gone on a business trip. He had lived in Oklahoma the past i few months, and death was due to a | paralytic stroke. The members of the Ladies Aid so- ciety of the Reformed church of our town gathered at the James Bartley home last Thursday for an all day quilting party, bringing with them their dinner.

An American woman from Paris said, “Why don’t our women wear straw hats as they once did? What has caused the change?” The question is hard to answer. Possibly the milliners are back of the movement to persuade women to change their hats throughout the year and not swirl from velvet to straw semi-annually, giving slight chance to the delightful things that can be con- cocted between seasons. In other years it was not foolish to wear a sunshade hat of straw with roses when the sleet was beating against our heads. At least, it wasn’t foolish from a woman’s point of view, although the men, as usual, rallied against it. They do so like to think we have disorderly minds or capri- cious ones. Just now, between the seasons, women are looking kindly upon silk as the first reasonable change from velvet, felt and plush. They ask if taffeta is in fashion, and are told that no one has decided. What then? “Watered silk,” is the answer. Once we called it moire with an American accent. Now, in our burning Amer- icanism we find that moire means watered silk, which relieves us from the effort of attempting to pronounce it. If one likes shaded taffeta better, it is entirely fashionable. This particular fabric is as fash- ionable for frocks as for hats. It made its appearance last spring in evening gowns the color of parch- ment. The exclusives wore it now and then to show they knew what was new. This year its usage is not limit- ed to a small set of individuals who follow French fashions as soon as they are launched in Paris and for- sake them when they are popular in America. It will be worn by hundreds who care not a fig for French styles. The shops make much of it. The dressmakers offer it. It comes in all colors. At times it deceives one into thinking it is velvet; it is thin enough to serve a spring day and summer night. Milliners received the news of its incoming with joy and content. They feared the public’s indifference to taf- feta, which has been a continuous per- formance, and they were not quite sure that straw would be accepted in February. They counted much on small flat embroidery done after the manner shown in blouses, but they had a suspicion that the public might de- mand something newer, something with a more definite touch of a new season. So they seized upon water- ed silk with eagerness. The milliners have much ribbon to manipulate. They know that dress- makers share the idea with them, but: |: this does not hurt their work. Wom- en like ribbon hats. They have learn- ed their usefulness. They delight in their lack of weight, their peculiar adaptability -to small spaces, which they fill without crushing. The wide sturdy ribbons of this sea- son are stiffened by concealed wires to take whatever shape is desired. It is not necessary to keep such hats col- lapsible. The new shapes show tri- cornars, picture hats and Russian tur- bans built of ribbon patterned like bandanna handkerchiefs, of brocaded ribbon with tinsel figures, of plain black satin ribbon with picot edge. The extravagant popularity of Ori- ental silks threatens to oust colored ribbons, but there is a feeling shared by the masses and the experts that every one is apt to be weary of these Kashmir patterns before spring turns to summer. America does things by the mil- lions, so it is easy to believe that a million Oriental silk frocks, another million of handkerchief-covered hats, another million of Kashmir patterned jackets have been put into the chutes that send clothes flying over this con- tinent. There is bound to be a strong reac- tion from the fashion. Let us hope the trade will have unloaded on the publie, so it can quickly give us some- thing new. : Back to ribbons for a moment. |. They are used for decorating a hat as often as for building one. Velvet rib- bon lined with irrideseent tissue, velvet ribbon edged with narrow tinsel play an important part in the hats which _ mEDaL. A Bellefonte Man Gives Evidence His Testimony Will Interest Every Bellefonte Reader. The value of local evidence is in- disputable. It is the kind of evidence ‘we accept as true because we know ‘Doan’s ‘Kidney Pills—the :same ‘that : - Mr. Alters had. - Foster-Milburn we can prove it for ourselves. There has been plenty of such evidence in the Bellefonte papers lately, and this straightforward testimony has estab- lished a confidence in the minds of Bellefonte people that will not be ea- sily shaken. Joseph Alters, carpenter, 310 E. Bishop St., Bellefonte, says: “I suf- fered for a long time with backache and kidney complaint. My back ached so badly I could hardly keep on the job. It was hard for me to do heavy lifting or sawing. My kidneys acted too often at times and the secretions were scanty and highly colored.

Strange to say, they are combined with wide brims instead of visor brims with which they first appeared.
