FEMININE SUGGESTIONS Continued from First page.)

help along this great celebration and make it just scintillate with greater glory. Why cant we have cars of flow ers-that is, covered with flowers I mean-like. the great sweet. pea festival in Bogeman, Montana, or that wonder ful fete of roses i'll California somewhere I've forgotten where-and have the fair ones of Canaan ride in these flower cars, dressed in their most exquisite cos tunes? Let there be one beauty car for the most beautiful girls-but say, that wouldn't work would it? You couldn't get car big enough to hold 'em all, for there isn't homeIy girl in Cauaan ; SO we'll have to drop that scheme. We might have an old ladies' car draped profusely with live-forever aud immor telles, but I'd like to see any old ladies getting into it; and an empty car sail ing up and down the avenue would look queer the flowers might be too sugges tive of mortuary things.
 Well we'll have to drop that idsa, won't we? But dear me we women have just got to be in this thing some way. How would it do to fall back on the costume idea? Have a gorgeous car filled with ladies representing the classic, the ancient and the modern in history What scope for originality of treatmentl Think how that bridge would look smothered in flowers and Triumphul Helens of Troy, and sapphos, and Cleop- atras, and Aphro6it ties, Venuses, Carrie Nations, Frances Willards and 0. H. P. Belmonts sweeping along-visious of marvellous loveliness- to the strains of "We don't know any better. so don't blame us." Wouldn'tit be great? What chance for good dressing A husband would stare at some dream of a woman, scarcely recognizing the barefooted Maud Allan as his wife. There would be a stately Mary Garden profusely un- draped, that some bashful lower would gaze at with a whole lot of assorted emotions, and we could have nuns and nurses represented, to sort of offset the Helens and sich like and we would se lect the most beautiful woman or girl in Canaan to pose as Goddess of Liberty and--oh shucks Here we are up against it again. There would be a scrap among the women right away, as you readily see, MT. Editor. The de- cision as to who is the beautifullest charmingest dame or damssl in our town could never be arrived at, for entity from t'other one, and no two of us, man or woman, would vote alike. On the whole, it is best to avoid the pos sibility of scraps at such festive affair. We are going to have cock fights an that will furnish all the 'belligerent sle- ment necessary.
 Seems to me though, as if we women oughs to do something to help make that Camp Ross offair notable and spec tacular. Oh I have it We can all go yelled Think of it. Gar after car, rose, daisy or violet draped. filled with yelled women the air of mystery that complete touch that makes the complet- est woman still more complete No rivalry, no jealousy. The cross eyed and hump backed will seem as houris. The fat, the thin, the old, the young-an 8 tantalizing dream. ti
 Do use your influence, MT. Editor, at the next W. W. Club meeting and get the brave, kind gentlemen interested in this woman movement for the better ment of the bridge. Of course the men will furnish the money for the flowers and the cars to be draped therewith. There will have to be ton or more of fragrant blooms. orchids, roses, etc., but there is nothing stingy about Canaan men and please have the club start S contribution at the next meeting and we women will get to planning our Camp Ross Bridge Celebration ward robe right away. And say. what shall the colors be? The Camp-Ross Bridge Colors? Doesn't that sound fine? All Canaan will be wearing them.
 AN ENTHUSIAST.
