some Re rtInent suaaestIons.


To the Editor of The Gate City:
1t seems almost a certainty that IN
the near future there will not be an
interurban line running out OF keo.
kuk to Carthage, Nauvoo or otner
points tributary to Keokuk, to assist
in building UP the retail trade at
home. Suppose someone would an
nounce there will be no more electro
car service between Keokuk. Hamll-
ton and Warsaw. What would tne
Industrial association and the Retail
ers' association say or do? More peo-
pie have been in and out OF Hamiiton
and Warsaw in the last five years
than in the twenty years previous TO
the construction OF the 1nteruroah
line, and would you not be as greatly
elated to have a service estapllshed
with Nauvoo and Carthage? II not
electric, then why not an automoolle
truck service, making several Trips
daily. Other cities are awake to TINS
idea. There is enough capital lylns
idle and with energy properly ap-
piled this could be made very
profitable business.
Where is the man who will estao.
lish such a business. If the Retailers
association appoint a committee ana
canvass the business men
in all the towns on the lines to De
and get the pledges to-
their freight and passenger business.
No bonus would have to accompany
this proposition This would develop
all towns and territory around US
and benefit Keokuk. The fares and
freight rates could be made reasonable
and profitable to the investor but II
requires a united effort and supper.
The steamboat situation deserves
serious consideration by the Retail
ers' association of Keokuk. Let us
be plain and honest with ourselves
and ask: why do the STEAMBOATS,
drag the business from Keokuk m
stead Of to us?" What united effort
have we ever made to get re-
versal of the schedules? Are We en-
titled to any relief if we do not ask
for it? Are we going to sit idly b.
and see the rich territory isolated
from us when we can get this trade
by going after it? Whose fault is it,
With q reversal of the schedules our
passengers and freight would arrive
in daytime instead Of night, the pas
sengers would have the pleasure Of
the retail trade, the freig t
would be delivered upon arrival In
stead of lying in the freight house all
night. There Is way to adjust
:hese matters If properly handled.
Keokuk seems to be the goat in many
instances. It Is up to the prograd-
,ive business men of Keokuk to look
INTO some of these projects for the
benefit Of all concerned.
Yours truly,
GEO. E. RADASCH.
On the road.

THE HEART OF A WOMAN.

THE HEART OF A WOMAN.
Laughter and sunshine and story,
Beauty and sweetness and trust;
Courage and grandeur and glory,
Shadows and darkness and dust
All things Of light and Of loving
The heart of woman contains,
Grand virtues, great sweetness ana
sorrows,
Peace, happiness, passion and pains
One moment it blooms like garden
With every sweet blossom Ire
knows,
"a vale of the peace of the ages.
A pathway through violet and rose,
And then DER the darkness ana
doubling
The wings Of a storm swept the
skies,
,And the garden Is tossed IN the
tempest,
And the vale in a dark ruin lies.
One moment so pitiful. tender.
And then all the rage and the hate
Fill it's beating with infinite shadows
AS it raves against infinite fate.
One moment so true and so loving,
So clinging and gentle and sweet,
YAH the song of life sweeping its
gamut,
Every blossom of life in Its beat.
sAnd yet, with all changing and ira
vail,
All sorrow and aching and CROSS.
NA.l sunshine today, then tomorrow
Cast down in the grief of some loss;
yAnd yet. with its battle and thunder
Its April Of showers and OF shine
God give me the heart OF woman
And take all the rest that is mine.

Favors For the
 Fourth of July

TSHE shops are full of favors for the
 Fourth of July, and they are f1lL loo, of suggestions for favors which can be made at home.
 In the candy shops boxes covered with silk and satin and paper in red, white and blue, stripes vie for popu- lar1ty with other boxes decorated with yma.H flags. Other boxes have small cannon, crossed guns and swords on tops and still others show the famous Did Liberty bell in miniature or pie tured on silk and paper. Shields knap- sacks and hrecrackers are other popu- lar decorations.
 Perhaps more can be done with crape paper than with any other sort of deco ration. The paper comes in rolls show Ing many patriotic designs. One shows wide red, white and blue stripes run ming lengthwise of the roll, and another shows narrower stripes running the same way. Another sort has wide band of blue, starred with white half the width of the paper and the other half divided into red and white stripes. Another roll shows a shield, eagle and laurel wreath, another two flags cross ed above shield and another design Of little flags, shields and festoons of red and blue ribbon.
 From any of these papers part of the AesIgn can be cut and mounted on CarQDOarQ- TOT p1dCS CaEOS, the. names written on tiny strips of white paper and pasted neatly on the cards. The small flags and shields are especially effective used in this way.
 Candle shades can also be made of these patriotic crape papers Four sided shades can be cut from heavy paper. and the crape paper can be cut and pasted over the foundation. An other pretty sort of shade is made from strips Of the paper.s cut crosswise Of the grain. about five inches wide. ahirred at the top and decorated with

 At the top Of the page is shown a pair of the new novelty silk gloves. Since this is a season of fril1s these gloves are made chic with little ruf1es of silk at the outside seam. A
 Below is shown a himsy dance frock with a fascinating coatee of rose fig ured silk on. a black background. The c1oudlike draperies of the skirt swirl round an underpetticoat of rose colored silk. A unique point about these dra- peries is that they are uneyen1y cut ana are wired to stand out stiff1y.

A rose. or three small ones. is the choice for covering the end of a. belt on an evening dress. The same scheme is likely to figure on the outside of the short sleeve.
 Or there may not be a sign of a rose on the bodice or upper rigging of what ever type-the rose decoration may be confined to the hem. Of course a rose hem may be of rosy taffeta Git is charming on chiffon), but the more elaborate rose hem shows an applique of made roses, either singly in 9 row or in a running vine which may l be festooned or more or less straight l One evening gown in nattier blue nous seline boasts border of taffeta roses in the softest shades. Chiffon may be introduced in the roses, too, though the most fascinating old world effects may be had with taffeta- Such a rosy ar rangenent may be placed between two ! bands of trimming.

tonnes and chsntzes await her inspec- ton, rose laden patterns that make up into hangings and upholsteries in fas- cinating fashion. There never was a time when these b1osson1y lengths were more delightful.
 So be rosy and patriotic.
 To help you to be rosy four -'rose" gowns are pictured here. The first is a sartoria1 departure from the beaten path, being something absolutely new in riding habits. It is of dark rose colored cotton duvetyn and is made, Of course, for country riding. The city parks would hardly be the place to dis port oneself in such gayety of color. A long riding coat is worn over knee but toned 'kniclzers' andhigh patent leather riding boots. The next frock is built of rose co1ored chiffon tafeta, and, de- spite the fact that wide skirts are popular, this skirt revels in yolunainous draperies. It is designed for a restau-

one adorable dance frock is in pale green chiffon Ca lovely shade), with the full skirt ending in an upstanding frill above the narrow crushed girdle. There's an underskfrt to support the transparent band of silver lace which shows under the shorter chiffon skirt Three bands of picot edged satin in the same shade of green are around the skirt, the lowest one four inches above the edge. Above these, at a bit above the knees, there's a row of cloth of sil- yer and taffeta roses, the taffeta being in several subtle hues. They are put on two in a dainty bunch, and,~ though they look to be about five inches apart, they are in reality much farther, since the skirt hangs in innumera'b1e folds.
 One charming evening dress designed for a debutante shows draped pom- padour bodice of rose gros de Londres. A band of this edges the full white silk ! skirt, while above this is a rose festoon

Tn lovely shades. Foliage in discreet tones is interming1ed.
 Queen Rose rules as much in dress dom as she will presently in the gar den. One pretty rose patterned frock in white voi1e is to have a sash in the lovely rose shade of the pattern.
 Rose, polka dots. many of them of goodly size, are noted on white fabrics chiefly, while peppermint candy stripes in wash silks are feature. r---
 Rose silk sweaters, complete with a sash, are among the swagger access sories for a summer wardrobe. If the shade is becoming there is nothing more dashing and pleasing. A rose ribbon to match may be on the panama hat and a rose leather belt may be the connecting link between the dainty blouse and the white linen skirt

ribbon. Shades of plain red or white crape paper can be decorated with mar row red, white and blue ribbon. The blue in the flag would not be an attrac- tive color for the foundation of a shade as it would throw a heavy, dull light.
 An attractive favor is a Miss Lib erty-a small golden haired doll dress ed all in crape paper: Her hat, a regu- lar liberty cap, could be made of blue and fecked with tiny white stars, 200 of which can be bought for 10 cents. Her skirt might be of red, White and blue striped paper, and her bodice could be of white with a red girdle and trimmings of red ribbon.

 Brides Bouquet


 TNHE young man who marries under
 A takes to "strew his brides way with flowers and literally begins this arduous duty before the ring is safely
 on her finger. An item of the wedding expenses falls to the lot of the bride
 groom-the- item of flowers for bride
 and bridesmaids. He may also, if he
 is a thoughtful young man. send big
 bunch of violets to the brides mother and some roses to any other immedi-
 ate female relative who will be at the
 wedding, @hoJgh not in the bridal pro-
 cession, but to the bride and her maids
 he must send the flowers they carry.
 This and the wedding fee to the off1ciat-
 ing clergyman is the only expense in
 the wedding pageant that falls to his share. But immediately after the cere-
 mony his turn occurs, beginning with the carriage in which he and his bride are whirled away
 A modern wedding bouquet costs the bridegroom at the very least the fair sum of $20. If the flowers are orchids it will cost more. There is a, deal of skill in the making of a brides bou- uuet It may not be tossed careIessly together, neither may it be a stiff, rigid bunch of flowers. It must express ut most grace and must give the idea of loosely arranged blossoms together with a certain fornality and elegance that will accord with the wedding gown. Most brides prefer lily of the
 valley, the brides own flower. This is
 mingled with maidenhatr' fern and shower loops Of white ribbon tied with
 small sprays of the valley lily trail
 from the large bouquet. Sometimes white roses are combined with lily of the valley. Few brides care for entire bououets of white roses-their sugges- | ton is too funereal. White azealeas, white gardenias, even white dogwood
 mingled with fern and lily of the val Hey are most beautiful The brides maids may carry conventional bou-

AN INTERESTING EXPERIMENT.

A N unusual course of reading was
 devised by an original woman to while away the tedium of conva1es- cence. She determined to look up ev- cry unfamiliar word that she met in the first book that she read, to read up on every subject mentioned of which she was ignorant and to read every book whose title might appear in the book she was reading. Though she be- gan with an ordinary light novel; one of the maligned 'fbest sellers,' it led her into several months of most inter- esting reading that covered a range of delightful. unexpected subjects.
