Nothing is so easily spoiled or
made shabby as a veil. Instead of
tossing it into a crowded drawer, to
lie in tumbled heap until wanted
again, stretch it carefully over bit
of cardboard or other stiff material,
as is always done in the stOres.-Se-

Neck dressing is very gay this

Coats differing from the skirt are
exceedingly fashionable, and it is
said to be fashion likely to take
during the winter, which may be
probable as regards difference Of
material, but not as to color. Cloth
skirts and velvet coats will, no
doubt, be worn, also cloth coats with
skirts of fancy wooden, the tone of
color being, however, similar.
Skirts with plain tops and shaped
flounces of brOcade set on are very
handsome. Often there is an entire
coat of brocade to match or the
bodice is literally trimmed with
brOcade.

Sashes of chiffon, frilled at the
ends, aud wrapped twice around the
figure, caught a little to one side OF
the front by a bright fancy slide, are
all the rage for housewear. One
woman of notably good taste has a
gray bengaline cut in princess form
at the back, with front slightly
bloused with a full vest of white
lace. To wear with this she has
fashioned for herself one white, one
blue and one watermelon pink
crepon sash. With bright anC
dainty touch like this the very
plainest and least expensive of cash

special Collection for the Red Cross.

Few, if any, readers of the newspaper
have failed to realize the work being
done by the Associated Society of the
Red Cross in the present war between
our country and Spain and its humanita-
rian work of ministering to the necessi-
ties of the men in the field and of the
suffering Cubans. 1t has sent many arti-
pOrtanceto our troops, sometimes in re-
sponse to the most touching appeals. As
the war has proceeded the demands upon
the Red Cross have wonderfully inereas-
ed and more remains to be done. The
Society therefore appeals, to what has
never been appealed 10 in vain, 10 the
grand old heart OF Pennsylvania, and
asks for contributions to enable it to
carry out its project-to save lives-to re-
lieve suffering-to feed the starving-tO
clothe the naked. a number of we'll
known ladies OF Somerset, who have been
interested in aiding the Society in the
past ask that a contribution for the bene-
tit of the Society be lifted in every church
regardless of denomination in Somerset
county. and that the proceeds be deliver
ed to Rev. Hiram King. Somerset who has
kindly consented 10 serve as treasurer,
and 10 see that the fund thus raised
is promptly forwarded to the Philadel-
phia Office Of the Red Cross. Ii is urgent
that his laudable object be attended 10 at
once. and it is confidently expected that
the appeal, made in behalf of suffering
humanity, will be given a generous re
sponse.

Cleveland Paper by Il.
The following appeared IN the Press Of
Cleveland. O.. Wednesday evening, ac-
companied by the pictures of the young
man and young woman who INDUCED in
a lark.
Cupid has been cutting capers around
the offices of the Walker Manufacturing
Company. Love creeps into strange
places. A manufacturing establishment
is not. As a rule, conducive to the gentle
art Of courtship. yet the Walker Compa-
ny's Office was the scene Of pretty ro-
nance.
ID. G. Hyatt lives at No. Is Stone street.
Miss Jennie Beatrice Taylor boards at
No. 25s Franklin avenue. Hyatt is re-
ceiving clerk for the Walker Manufactur-
ing Company. and Miss Taylor has
charge of the stationery used by the same
concern.
For over three years the paths Of the
young people have crossed each other
many times q day, but no one noticed
stolen glance or heard a whispered word.
They were apparently too devoted 10
their work to devote any of their time
10 each other. Accordingly the greatest
surprise prevailed among the small army
of employees Wednesday when it became
known that Hyatt aud Miss Taylor had
been married nearly month. They were
made man and wife in Akron on the
evening of June 30th.
The bride said to Press reporter We'd
nesday 1--WE did il just for a lark and 10
see how surprised all our friends would
be when they found out that we were old
married folks.
"We went TO Akron on the A. b. & C.

close Of our days work In the Office. We
were married at the home Of John r.

Democratic Merit Not in it Aiongsids Of
Political Pull in the Somerset
Schools.

The Democracy does not have a male
representative IN the corps; and blind
fsctional Partially together with nepo-
tism seems 10 have been the controlling
spring OF the boards action Il IS pain
fnl - contemplate that cur public school
system must be made the victim Of favor
ileism. Yet young men of Democratic
affiliations are cast aside, when teachers
are to be elected, without any considela-
ton OF their merits or abilities, and some
political henchman is given the coveted
position. Not only this. but merit, back
ell by Democratic influence in behalf OF
the faction that has entire control OF the
lsoard, i knocked down and stung by
base ingratitude- Why2 Because The ap-
piicant was a Democrat. Partisanship-
m-nepofism have been the curse
OF our public schools for years.-SOmerSet
County Democrat.
The foregoing wall from the last issue
Of :he Somerset County Democrat would
seem to indicate that our ''unterrified'
friends have been s'faked'' by their polit-
cal allies in this borough. That was TO be
expected, aud the action of the school
board was no surprise TO those who have
beea watching the actions Of that import
ant public body, who have rewarded
'work done at the primaries in prefer
ence to work done in behalf Of the grow
ing generation and the cause OF educs-
tion, for a number of years past. But the
Democrat might have gone further and
pointed out bow the schools in various
districts of the county have been and are
being made to snbserve fsctional inter-
ests, not only in the selection of teachers,
but in higher positions in the schools.
The wall of the Democrat, however, Is an
acceptable sign that the leaders Of that
party will discontinue bartering ia posi-
tions in the public schools, and will be
ready hereafter 10 disca-d political afilia-
tions when it comes to selecting persons
in whose hands is placed the educational,
moral, and physical development of their
children. 1t was never intended that the
public school system should be an aid to
any political machine or faction, and it
never was in this county until the admin
/. tration of local school affairs fell into the
hands of those who have used them for
their own personal advancement. The
wall of the Democrat has been repeated
in various sections Of the county by per-
sons who do rot have political axes to
grind, but are anxious that on. county
schools should take an advanced position
among the schools of the State.
