/ Mrs. COnger'S conclusions are drawn
| from her personal experience. Her re-
| cital of the empress dowager'S beau
| tiful and sincere graciousness cannot
| fail to inspire a feeling of immense
| respect and even friendliness for that
wonderful woman. whom Mrs. Conger
yet finds time to look after the needs
of her numerous guests, personally. An
example of rare affection for a for
egner and of pure unselfishness, is her
bestowal upon Mrs Conger of the val
liable charm which has been Worn as
a safeguard against danger, by the
royal family for centuries. No higher
| mark of her love and regard for the
safety of her American friend could
have been shown, altho it was a de-
served tribute to Mrs. Conger We
Americans are in danger of growing
too blunt, altho never can sincerity be
overrated We would do we'll to culti-
vate the natural graciousness which is
endowed us. thinking not only of our
selves all the time, but of the welfare
and comfort of those with whom we
come in contact.
If ever the women of Marshalltown
wished themselves men instead of
members of the gentler sex, it was
probably at the park dedication Sun
day, about the time their pretty sum-
mer hats and dainty gowns sunk into
the oblivion of a. wet, sodden mass
that made them feel as tho they had
been playing hide-and- in the

Avoid affectation. Be simple and
true. Affectation may please at first,
but in the long run will inspire dis
gust and doubt of ones depth of
character.
Many Marshalltown mothers are
doubtless greatly disappointed because
the curfew ordinance has again failed
of enforcement. True, it might have
saved them much anxiety, but great

of unruly sons and daughters would
prove the best and most effective
method of ALL A girl who forms the

mastered the intricacies OF the pui,u,
tho trade and was recently AWARDED
tba contract for the erection OF the
now ST. Patricks Catholic church OF
f,1;nton An article from that CITY
aho,,t the work being done by this pro-
,ressive woman contractor, says:
.N1rs. Bachelor has assumed the ac-
+i,,a management of all the details con-
nected with the erection of the CLINTON
church edifice, manifesting remarka-
hla ATTITUDE for the work, and super
vising every branch Of construction IA
a manner which demonstrates that she
;s intimately conversant with the build

.nd carpenters are working under her
direction. These artisans never ques-
tion her orders. and accept her judg-
,nent in all cases. Mrs. Bachelor is
thirty years Of age has hearty and
vigorous constitution. and is Drowned
by the sun, spending nine hours every
dav on the site of the new edif1ce.
while the mastering of such trade
as that of contractor goes to further
nrove the disputed versatility of wo1n-
ans mind, still her position is not one
to be envied by other members of the
fair SEX especially those who have
taken upon themselves the RESPONSE
bility of a home, to which is the great
err duty. One surprising statement In
the instance from Clinton is that the
artisans under this woman artists
control never question her orders, or
assert their superior CO knowledge of
tha work to be done. When the
Judgment of leaders among men is
questioned so often by those under
their control, this must be taken as one
of the sincerest tributes to this par
