Sad Accident Causes ChlId's Death

On last Friday afternoon Dec %
occurred near Evening Shade School
House, l19 miles north of Bellefonte,
a tragedy so appalling as to shock
our peaceful community beyond
measure, While preparations were
being made to celebrate Christmas
and the children were happy as the
time drew near, little Nina the II
year old daughter Of Mr., and Mrs,
lanes Breidwell was snatched into
eternity through the careless hand
ling Of a loaded shot gun in the
hands of her l3 year old brother
Bryan. Nina was a sweet child
and was returning from school; her
brother playfully pointed the gun at
her, and the hammer caught in his
coat, discharging it full in her face,
We extend to the heart-broken
family and aged grandparents our
tenderest sympathy in this dark
hour,

MODES FOR CHILDREN
SPRING GARMENTS FOR YOUNG
GIRLS ALREADY SHOWN.
Tendency 10 Toward Full unaored
Skirts, and CoiIariess Neck Still
! Ruies-Pretty Little Frock OF
bingham or Finer Material.

Dear me. how soon spring comes!
The shopper thinks as she goes down
the street these last days, for there
already are the signs In the windows
yards and yards Of dainty wash
FABRICS. with all their various trim
innings, in enchanting spring colors.
How the window dressers get the un-
cut fabrics to look SO beautfful-to
hook SO much like flowers and little
Ichildren-is a mystery to the passer-
by. But there is everything folded
over and puffed out and twisted this
way and that In just the right manner.
And when you inquire about prices
the obliging shopman tells you. and
kruthfully. that everything will be
3earer by and by. and that many OF
the lovely patterns now seen VIII not
be reproduced.
Really tiny children are in clover.
lEr their frocks are the simplest. long
bodied affairs, or else Mother Hub
bard slips that hang from the shoul-
Aers, and at most a pretty yoke or
nArirt frill trim these. and as quantity
In wash things is now much more con-
sAdered than quality the very modesty
n the baby girl clothes makes it pos
6bse to have a greater number Of
kAfnes.
The illustration shows a smart little
nsock that might be developed from
Hvo kinds of gingham or be a much
nnE affair in a little silk and wool.
IN the present instance the frock is Of
h figured challie trimmed with plain
IN. and the way the bands are but
med down over the trimming is a
~ and smart idea.
In the way Of color combinations for
Wanh materials the main part Of this
ta5sus might be made OF a blue or pink

MAKE CLOSET SPACE
ARRANGEMENT THAT GREATLY
INCREASES CAPACITY.
Hangers That Can Be Lifted Up to
the Ceiling viii Be Found OF
Much value-Use for Old
Fashioned Secretary.

Help for dwellers in apartments
whose closet room is congested comes
In hangers that can be poked up to
the ceiling. Therefore that space be-
tween the top and the line OF nooks
which hitherto has been wasted De-
comes of value by means OF one or
two rods stretched across about four
inches below the ceiling The value
of this arrangement is not only In use
of space that has been idle, out tnat
long dresses may be hoisted SO hign
that they are not in the way when
entering the closet.
Whether one or two rods may be
used in this fashion depends upon
the depth of the closet. There must.
however. be space enough to permit
all garments being placed on coat
hangers.
The racks which are to be skied
are those ordinarily used, and TO
make the handling of garments placed
SO high easy there is long STICK
with hook at the end. which may be
used to lift clothes down and put
them back without reaching.
The rods should be put across the
closet. or from end to end. but ar
rangeemtns depend, somewhat upon
the shape Of the closet.
Needless to add such garments as
are skied should be those not worn
every day. and the stick for taking
them down should be kept in the
closet.
A woman who has lived for many
years in an apartment finds an old
fashioned secretary a useful piece OF
furniture. because OF the number of
different articles 1t will hold. The
lower section is always either drawers
or a cupboard. and underclothes or
other garments may be tucked away
in such manner that they may be
easily taken out The top always has
doors and shelves. II the doors are
Of glass thye can be backed by plain
or figured silk. fulled on rods. In the
hidden space thus arranged no end of
articles. large and small. may be
placed.
An old-fashioned bookcase. which
begins at the floor. and is about five
feet high. may be converted into a
clothes closet.
The shelves may be removed and
hooks put around the top. inside. so
coats and skirts of any kind may be
hung.

On the floor OF the cupboard there
