day afternoon her brother-in-law and
sister, Mr. and Mrs. Ira Gramley, of

Herbert Merryman was called home
from Pittsburgh by the illness of his
family and the death of their five

the Lutheran cemetery. Funeral serv-
inces were conducted in the Evangelic-
al church, by their pastor, Rev. C. B..
Snyder.

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.

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

moved and the great pain which he
had been suffering at once ceased.

and soon be quite all right.

may both speedily recover. Mrs, Wit-
mer returned home Saturday.

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.

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.

took up his brief, rushed to the big

“In that case,” suggested the equal-

—Celia Thaxter.
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

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.

me so much I kept on using them. I

doubled and run through two sizable

A certain new hat of beige faille
with sectional crowns divided by sil-
ver braid and upturned brim edged
with braid has wide faille silk ribbon
run through two embroidered button-
holes at the side of the brim. It is
edged with silver cloth.
The sectional crown has many spon-
