Local Comment


Are the people of Marshalltown
ever going to do anything to provide
st. Thomas hospital with an elevator ?"
That question was asked the Times
Republican by leading business man
the other day. The T.-R. referred to
the existing necessities some months
ago. but no organized effort looking
toward a realization Of the pressing
needs, has ever been launched.
There are a few business men of the
city who stand ready and are willing
to do all within their power to assist
the hospital toward obtaining need
that is practically imperative. Notice
able among these are George L. Kirby.
Henry Pappe and A. A. Moore There
are many others who should be inter
ested, and with little organized effort
the elevator could be furnished the hos
pital. ZAP Moore's spirit toward the
hospital is shown by his turning over
to the sisters good sized check from
some recent accident insurance.

There is a class of people in Mar
shalltown that realizes exactly what
class comprises patients who have un-
dergone treatment in the institution,
and know the loving care that is ad-
ministered by the sisters and nurses
The majority of these will never be
able to do enough for St. Thomas nos
pital On the other hand. were all the
ex-patients of the hospital as appreciate
as the class above referred to, an ele-
yator could be installed without assist
ance from the public. The hospital to-
day has over $1,000 on it's books. so far
uncollectible. and probably always VIII
be So The worst feature IS
that the greater portion OF thls
sum could be paid if the patients
wished to settle, for many are fully abe
to nav every cent they owe. They
seem to think that because the sisters
care for some poor person unable 10
nav. and never refuse care and treat
ment, they are exempt from an opnga-
ton which they would never think OF
avoiding were it incurred in some other
way
st. Thomas hospital is the most val
liable addition to the welfare of the
public that Marshalltown has had IN u
great many years. Now that 1t is
here any one who realizes it's beneats
can not fail TO ask, How did we ever
get along without it?" What would

The Lord of Wonderland.

Miss e. Gertrude Thomson, the art
ist, tells the following anecdote OF
the author OF "Allce In Wonderland: :"
In 1878 she received letter in a SIN
gularly boyish, legible hand, sent
from Christ church, Oxford, and sign
ed by G. L. Dedgson. The writer said
he had come across some fairy de-
signs of hers, and he should like to
see more of her work. Some one In
formed her that the writer was Lewis
Carroll. He asked to be allowed to
call upon her, but when he came she
was out, so they arranged a meeting
In South Kensington Museum.
She wondered how she should
recognize him In the usual crowd, or
he her. She watched carefully, but
saw no one she thought could be the
author of her favorite book.
Finally, she heard high, vivacious
voices approaching and the laughter
of children. A gentlman entered,
two little girls clinging to his hands.
She knew him instantly. He stood
for a moment. head erect, and glanced
swiftly around the room. Then he
bent downward and whispered some
thing to one Of the children. After a
moments pause she pointed straight
at Miss Thomson.
He at once came forward with ex-
tended hand.
"I am Mr.. Dodgson. was to meet
you, Think"
"How did you know met" she ask
ed.
"My little friend found you. l told
her I had come to meet a young lady
who, knew fairies, and she fixed on
you at once. But I knew you before
she spoke.

Home Decoration.

Greens, reds, and browns are the
predomlnating colors in the tapestry
papers, according to Interior Decora-
tion, and their designs make them ap-
propriate for almost any apartment In
the home. Their cost Is not prohibit
tive-in fact, one may paper a room
by using such a frieze for less than
1t would cost to put on paper with
an elaborate design, for II one is using
tapestry frieze nothing makes as good
a side-wall treatment as a plain
paper, and these plain papers cost COM
paratively little, SO that the real out
lay would be for the frieze.
In addition to the verdure effects
in paper there are inexpensive tapes
try designs which come in light weight
cotton fabrics that can be applied to
the walls in the same manner as bur-
lap. The modern inexpensive tapes
try is used somewhat differently from
the heavy tapestries of our forofathers.
Instead Of being hung loosely from the
top, 1t is spread smoothly and tightly
over the surface of the sidewall, and
either attached by means OF paste or
with strips Of moulding at top, bot
tom and sides.

Couture Ornaments.

their innings In barrettes, combs and

suspicion In these days when the
chemist has contrived to counterfeit
the real stones not only in appearance
but in identity of material. Small Or
naments of this class are better taste
than the too pronounced headdress,
which is apt to dwarf the wearer.
Pretty light feathers, marabou and
paradise, with jeweled arrangement
at their base, are the most becoming

pensive sort.

Lamp and Candle Shades.

Most women take pleasure In maxi
ing dainty things that add to the at
tractiveness OF their homes. Shades
for lamps and candles are, as gen.
eral thing, frlghtfully expensive II
bought in the shops, and comparative
ly inexpensive II made at home.
Those who like the Empire style
paint ON cartridge paper graceful for
al designs. These they edge with a
ruche of light pink or cherry-colored
ribbon, introducing couple of rows OF
box-pleated satin ribbon OF the same
hue at the lower edge; then at one
side they place bow Of the same
ribbon for the top Of the shade and
one at the base, united by a strip OF
the same.
A light pink silk candle shade can
be bordered on either edge with point
d'esprit in a renaissance design, out
lined with silk or braid in gold.
A good deal of gold tissue is also
employed for these shades; nearly all
the newest ones have bows of ribbon
somewhere, often with longer endi
than accord we'll with their tidy ap-
pearance.-Boston Cultivator.
