To look beautiful is part of woman's mis-
sion. From the beginning every age every
season has marked higher development in
the adornment of woman, by style in her
garments.
1t is woman's right, then, to adorn her
sells as becOmiugly as pOssible-to look beau
tiful.
Therefore, when choosing an outer gar
ment-the principal garment in woman's
dress at this season of the year-everything
being equal, the one having the approved
style is the one you should have.
1t is plain then that they who want to be
properly dressed, to have outer garments of
the approved style must "pin their faith to
a make that can be relied upon for being alb
sOlutely right in that particular.
1t has been our aim every year to excel in
excellence Of quality and our popular low
plices are our best advertisement; our
twenty.One years experience in buying and
selling places us in the front rank of local
dealers and we cordially invite the ladies of
this and adjoining counties to come and see il
we can't do better than others. A store like
ours can't afford to make a statement We

COUNCIL INTERRUPTED.
Postponement of Its Meeting Caused by u
Fire Alarm.

A special meeting of the Borough Council
was called for last night to consider matters
bearing upon the First ward creek, water
works and finances. 1t was attended by
Messrs. Bell, Harkins Hand, Murphy, Bren-
nan, Lally, Coakley, James and Mcclure,
and they were just about to get down to
business when the fire alarm was sounded
from the Shenandoah City colliery and two
of the Counclmen made hasty exit, leav-
ing less than quorum in attendance. The
rest of the members awaited the return of
the two for some time, but they failed to ap-
pear again and the meeting was adjourned
until this evening.
just before the interruption occurred Coun-
Gilman Bell said that Engineer Clemmens, OF
the p. & X. G. & |. Co., had stated to him
that yesterday the man to whom the company
had awarded the contract to put the creek
in good condition for $50 had thrown up the
work. and that the company was willing to
bear one-third of 81 $50 the amount of the
bid put in by p. J. Cleary to do the work
The matter will be taken up for cOnsidera-
tion this evening. 1t is more than probable
that the work will be started on that basis.
