PajamaS or PettiCOatS?

like a step backward away from the
comfort and convenience that have
characterized fashions for the past
Is years. But there were similar pro-
tests when dreSsmakerS first tried to
revive long skirts and normal waist
lines which by now every one takes
quite for granted.
The odd thing is not that petticoats
should have been revived they are a
natural and inevitable outcome of the
longer skirt-but that they should have
fingered so long as they have on the
threshold Of accepted fashions
AS usual the dressmakers have effect
ed a compromise and If you do not want
to wear a real petticoat you may wear
a dress with a petticoat flounce attached
to the inside. But for light evening
dresses ruffled petticoat or slip is
merely a logical outcome Of the longer
haring skirt. Afternoon dresses Of the
staidier sort also have their petticoats.
A black, lightweight wool afternoon
dress of simple design has a taffeta
petticoat with ruffles.

IRENE DANA is responsible for lace
petticoats worn with matching lace
blouses and Lelong makes plaid taffeta
petticoats to wear under plain-toned
skirts.
Another Victorian fashion that goes
hand in hand with petticoats is the
shoulder cape or short capelet which
has come this Spring to take the place
OF the short jacket as light evening
wrap Incidentally it gives width to the
shoulders. thereby accenting the slen-
derness of the waist and hips Some
of these new capelets are made to
match the frock with which they are
worn. Sometimes they are made of
pastel toned or white satin edged with
fur. Others are made of taffeta, velvet
0r chiffon

Short CapeS.

Distinctly mid-Victorian In appear
ance are the little short capes made to
wear with some of the new evening
dresses. These capes are of taffeta silk
with shirred frills or gathers around the
edges. obviously made to suggest the
amusing n1antles worn by the lovely
ladies Of the hoop skirt and hustle
periods of the last century.
There are white chiffon evening
scarfs edged with white lace to wear
with the new white chiffon evening
dress and TO go with them there are
white lace evening bags as charming as
they are fragile.

Lace Trimmed.

Lace Is much used Some Of the
love1iest blouses to wear under the
semi formal little two-piece suits are
trimmed with collars Of lace that make
them quite suitable for informal dinner
OF theater wear.
Negligees are much trimmed with
lace, too, and sometimes afternoon
dresses show deep insets Of lace about
the neck and sleeves.
Lace berthas, softly draped over the
shoulders, give softened touch to
many afternoon and informal evening
dresses

Tense Of her mother, Mrs. Carrie SIM

Elizabeth said she stood within arm S
Ceach of her mother as she spread the
sandwich filling of pressed chicken on
buns early on the morning OF the picnic.
Neither her mother her father nor her
two brothers placed any poison in the
sandwiches, Elizabeth declared in re-
Spouse to questions put to her by

done. the defense contends, while the

existing law stated that he would send
copy to each of the four members of
the Assembly and to the Board of
Commissioners.
Public School Matters Presented
Mr.. F. E. Rathbun, County Superin-
tendent of Schools, brought to the at
tention of the members of the Assem-
bly, matters pertaining to the public
school system in the county and ex-
pressed the hope that as opportuni-
ties may arise that they would take
advantage of them for the purpose of
furthering public health activities in
Garrett county and that the delega-
ton would be particularly interested
this year in problems related to public
health and that the results later
shown would be gratifying. In this
connection the County Commissioners
were commended for the interest they
had taken during the last few years
in protecting the health of the public.
Mr.. Rathbun pointed odt the advis-
ability of bond bill for the construc-
ton of school buildings in the county
as a means for providing the neces-
sary funds instead of by direct levy
1t was explained that the town of Ac-
cident is making efforts TO secure an
addition to its school building, which
would cost about $4,000. Similar eff
forts are being made for an addition
to the building at Kitzmiller for ele-
mentary school purposes which would
cost about $4,000, and that like
effort is being made for further i'm
movement of the GrantSvil1e Srhoo1
building at all approximate cost of
$4,000. Pressing needs were pointed
out for other centers in the county,
among them being Oakland, the total
cost of all such needed within the next
few years approximating 1925, 100000.
Such bond bill, Mr.. Rathbun stated,
would result in immediate reduction
of the county tax rate.
Attention was also called to the i'm
portance of the equalization fund as
provided by the State for the support
of the schools of this county which for
this year alone approximates $4,000,
with provision being made for its in
crease during 1882 and 1853. The
members of the General Assembly
were requested to see that these funds
come to the county for support of the
public schools without which the local
taxation would be extremely burden
some-in fact, impossible.
Attention was also called to the fact
that school expenditures for this year,
according to the receipts, would neces
state an economical program as re-
sule of which the present plans call
for decrease in expenditures during

mated as $20,301.28 under expendi-
lures made for similar purposes dur
ing the past school year, which emer-
gency has arisen largely from the ex-
tended bus service in the county for
the transportation of school children.
and also due to increased high school
enrolment, which has necessitated the
employment of additional teachers.
The members of the General As
sembly were greatly interested in the
problems and suggestions called to
their attention, and they expressed
their appreciation to those who had
attended the meeting and given them
the advantage of their judgment upon

giving the names and addresses of
those who had participated.

JONAS J. BEACHY, mt. NEBO
CENTENARIAN, PASSES ON
Born When Last Century Was
Young; Died Near Where He
First Saw Light of Day

Jonas J. Beachy, who was probably
the oldest man in Garrett county,
passed peacefully away at his home,
Mount Nebo, near Grantsville, at six
o'clock on Friday evening, January 2.
the cause of death being infrmaties
due to extreme age, the deceased be-
ing nearly one hundred years old, hav-
ing been born on February 6, 1881,
two miles north of Grantsville, the
place of his birth being relatively
close to the spot where he breathed
his last. Mr.. Beachy belonged to and
was one of the forebears of pioneer
Garrett county family. He was the
son of John and Christina Beachy,
both of whom were of Swiss descent,
and was the last surviving member of
the family of eight children.
Mr.. Beachy was married on Septem-
Der 2, 1864, to Miss Anna D. Yutzy,
whose death occurred on June 6, 1926.
In this family there were ten chill
dren, five of whom survive, as fol-
lows: Mrs. Christina Unzicker, of
Elkhart, Ind; Mrs. Mary Custer Or
endorf and Miss Katharine Beachy,
at home; Elmer ]. Beachy and Ed
ward ]. Beachy. There are also II
grandchildren and six great-grand-
children surviving.
From the year 1856 until the year
1868, Mr.. Beachy made three trips
to and from the far west, whence he
went in search of adventure. In 1868
he returned to Grantsville and pur-
chased the Warwick farm upon which
he resided, worked and reared his
family. By industry and ability he
become prosperous but did not cease
his labors on his farm until in re-
cent years, when, owing to infrma-
ties of age, which later was the cause
of his death, he was compelled to fore
go any further activity. AS a neigh
Dor he was extremely kind and con-
siderate; always jovial and lived for
the pure joy of living and helping
those less fortunate.
MI. Beachy had been confined to
his bed for six months preceding his
death and although almost entirely
blind, his mind and memory of things
in the far distant past remained clear
and unobstructed. He was a strong
and uncompromising Republican and
at all times evinced an interest in
county State and National elections.
He was faithful member of the Am
ish church. His funeral occurred on
Monday with services in the Miller
Amish church, near Grantsville, Rev.
Jonas B. Miller officiating. Interment
was made in the cemetery located at
the church, the pallbearers being six
of his grandsons: Ellsworth Beachy,
Morris Beachy, Paul Orendorf, Will
bur Clark and John Custer.
