Last Christmas a scarcity Of toys
was threatened in this country be-
cause SO many novelties sold in this
country bore the legend made in Ger
many" This year in New York there
was established the old mems toy
shop, where aged and inflrm men
made toys of wood. The shop turned
out great quantity Of attractive toys,
but 1t did something vastly more
worth while than that. it helped TO
solve the tragedy OF the old men out
of job. The plan was inaugurated
by woman, Miss Christine Foster,
who was q member of the mayors
committee on the unemployed She
was thinking and planning for some
way to give employment to old men
and to those who were lame and Ill.
She remembered that her grandfath-
er used to sit and whittle most won
derful Noah'R ark animals and figures
which delighted her childish heart.
and the plan came to her to establish
the toy shop at 416 Lafayette street,
New York. The hours are from 8 to
IS with three-quarters Of an hour for
those who have no home, lodging Is
provided. The shop is scarcely self
supporting yet but as the skill OF the
men increases, the wages can be In
creased. 1t is the ideal charity
which helps man to help himself.

One OF the indictments brought
against Keokuk people by those on
the outside is that we think SO well
OF one another. and that we think that
the standard for most things has been
set right here. It isn't that bad OF
course, but there is some truth in 1t
and 1t is fact that every man and
woman is given credit for his or her
little stunt with feeling OF family
pride. devoid OF jealousy. In the light
OF this spirit, w. c. Howell said the
other day, in speaking OF an editorial
written In the London News by G. X.
Chesterton, England's greatest editor
ial writer, said: did you read Ches-
terton's editorial on the death Of Edith
Cavell? It's the finest piece of writ
ing since the days of Sam Clark"
And those who heard the remark un-
Iderstood and hunted up the editorial
and read It and mentally compared 1t
to Sam Clark with no disagreement
to the one time editor Of The Gate
City.

very rev people IN the audience
which filled the Westminster Presby-
terrain chapel on Thursday evening
knew that the clever little play, How
Christmas Came to Golden Gulch.
which was given by the boys and
girls. had been written by Mrs. Leon
ard Matless. She has genius for
that sort OF thing and in the last few
years has done a good deal Of work OF
that nature and Keokuk people have
gone to student auxiliary programs
and to many church entertainments
and enjoyed them greatly, all uncon-
scious that the play had been written
by local woman. We hope we won't
lose her friendship by telling secret
which we. discovered quite by accident.
A Keokuk woman who spends a part
Of every year in Chicago, said recent
Nv that she has noticed that Chicago
women are playing cards less and
less each year. When she spoke of 1t
society woman said: "It Is true,
isn't it. / hadn't thought OF It before"
She gave as one reason that the wom-
en- feel they havn't time to give SO
many half days to one thing. A card
party takes a full afternoon and so
the women have teas at which their
guests may meet many friends in an
hour, or they have musicale taking
perhaps two hours for the program
and the refreshments. or parlor
lecture or recital taking an hour OF
time. For women who wish to do
many things, cards three or four after
moons in the week are quite out Of the
question.
