MERCHANTS HAVE ENJOYED
GOOD EASTER BUSINESS

Easter trade has been booming late
~ in the city dry goods stores not
withstanding the disagrecable wealth
er. This trade last year was satisfac-
tory. but the dealers say il is even
more so this year.
The sale of silks. especially for shirt
waist suits, has been beyond all eX-
pectations. These are in small dots
and checks and hair line stripes. 9th
er silks, such as foulards, peau de
chimes, Louisines, messalines, etc,
have also been popular.
Among other materials that have
been much in demand for Easter cos
tunes are CLEANLINESS, voiles, eoalines,
wool crepes and silk crepe de chimes.
There has been an equal demand for
the various accessories of an Easter
outfit, such as gloves and wells, not to
mention hats.
The dressmakers are having the us
ual rush. This is always the case,
so that their trade this year connot
be said TO be greater than last.

Easter at Memorial Christian Church.

The choir of the Christian church,
under the direction of Mrs Anna Haz-
elton-Goff, gave its program of Easter
music Sunday evening. y number of
people were turned away from the
church after all the standing room
was taken. The program was one of
the finest ever rendered by the choir.
both in the class of music used and
the quality of work done by the sing
ers. One anthem could scarcely be
selected as being enjoyed more by the
audience than another, but They
Have Taken Away My Lord" Har-
rington) and "Resurrection" (Shelby)
were especially appreciated.
The work of the children was very
popular with the audience. To hear
children singing carols and anthems
so perfectly was something new to
the hearers. The double chorus by
children and choir was much enjoyed.
The children did honor to themselves
and their leader.
The three solos of the evening
But the Lord Is Mindful of His
Own" 10y Mrs. Reynolds; The Palms,
by Mrs. Dunderberg. and ''Hosanna."
by Mrs. Golf were rendered with
ability.

HOWTOWEARGO
Mrs. Gladys Mortimer. Paris Ex-
peri, Here to lmpart Her
knowledge of Dress.
WOMAN MAKES THE CLOTHES
1t is How They Are Worn More Than
How Much They Cost
To Lecture.

Mrs. Gladys Mortimer, expert on
style, has come to tell the women of
Rock Island what they should wear,
how the leading dressmakers of Paris
say that waists should fit and how
skirts should hang.
In the opinion of Mrs. Mortimer it
is not the clothes that make the MO-
man; it is the woman that makes the
clothes. 1t is how she wears them
that counts. 1t is not necessary to
be in style to have 500 party gowns.
Some women pay u much larger fig
urc and then do not seem as well
dressed as their sisters who have had
less to eXpcnd on clothes. There is
a something lacking.
Mrs. Mortimer is stopping at the
Harper house. She is to give an illus
trated talk at Odd Fellows hall here
Wednesday afternoon and at Library
hall, Davenport. Thursday afternoon.
She has nothing for sale but her
ideas, charging admission tn. her lee
lures and for private interviews. She
is a woman who knows how to wear
clothes herself, and keeps constantly
in touch with the latest ideas from
the fashion centers of the world.
She is also a brilliant conversations
aliSt, has beauty of face and carriage,
and is withal most charming per-
son.

Women Stylish Here.

Il find in America many stylish wO-
men. | think there will be many
more when they decide to more care
fully suit the dress to the occasion.
| find, too, in these smaller cities the
merchants are frequently quite
abreast with those of the largest cit
les. They buy beautiful and mOdish
fabrics and often gowns imported or
copied from excellent models. But
alas, when customers see them dis
played on wooden forms or even on
living models. for whom they were
not made, they are apt to look clum-
sy or ugly. and my lady decides she
does not want that gown-or one like
it. either.
One of the up-to-date merchants
of the tri-cities, who studies the fash
ions carefully and buys from the best
sources. told me that when he buys
the most correct things-nOt the
things that are ultra. but quite
comme-il-faut. he has to be very care
full or his customers will not buy
them. Now. is not this unfortunate
when everyone knows ladies like to
be stylishlV dressed?

Since our residence in Williston,

treasurer, in olher than the most
courteous manner, vet tho bralnless

deadly fire of he Graphic by publish

land once stood in an anti-room awaiting
the decision OF democratic convention
40 to whether I'VE" we're to he among

Hardsway lied when he stated in his
said article that Copeland was
"bloated, ragged and besmeared viii,
amber" for the fact 10 that Dick Cope
land has tasted neither beer. ale, wine
or cider. nor any other int"xicant. for
nearly nine years. B. L. Hsrdsway
has been chronically seeking office ever
since Williams county WAS created.
He was elected county auditor when
the county was organized, but he was
80 illiterate aud incompetent, that the
democrats were ashamed of him, and
helped t., elect Gust Anderson to that
office. I" 1856 aud again in 1898 he
importuned the democrats of the
county to nominate him for auditor on
their ticket, but knowing his total unfit
mesa Tor the Office. the democrats
refused to consider him. In 1900. he
sought nomination at the hands of the
republicans, but he failed to get it, and
in 1902 he WAS again attacked with the
desire for nomination, at the hands
Of the republicans, and succeeded in
securing place on the ticket as county
judge. but A. A. Austill went into the
Geld as an independent candidate and
won out over Ben BY a handsome
majority. And now Hartaway is a
candidate on the republican ticket for
county treasurer. This man Hardawav
also has a record not altogether too
savory, which the eearchIisht of inves.
tipation might unplessantly reveal, but
the Graphic has no desire to bring it
out u.less forced to do 80. This brief
criticism may seem harsh, but Mr..
Hardaway has invited it by his dirty
