HEBREW CHARITY.
Making Provision for the Aged
and Disabled.
Opening Night Of Fair Under the Manage.
ment Of Thirty Young Ladies-Proms-
made Concert and Dance.

Among the entertainments for raising
funds for charitable institutions the fair is
the most popular. 1t enables large num-
Der of people to play an active part, and the
work is so divided that it falls lightly upon
all the laborers. The pretty young ladies
have an incentive to increase their charms
by masquerading in picturesque costumes.
The sociable maidens have the floor as it
were, and reye in the freedom from chap
eronage. The bachelors are willingly held
in bondage until forced to yield up a ransom
proportionate to the value of the diamonds
which sparkle between the lapels of their
coats and dazzle the flashing eyes of the fair
sex with their splendor. The benedicts,
held in check by the matrons, struggle for
ward to the booths to purchase favored
glances from lovely youth by extravagant
expenditure. The soda-water fountain fixes
a welcome to the crowd-tossed assembly, the
aroma of coffee floats forth from the restau-
rant. the jingle of spoons sounds from the
ice-cream parlors and the music of the
orchestra imbues the listeners with desire
to be happy. Thus are the interests of the
deserving poor brought into prominen ce
ana the results are attained that make pro-
vision against the cruelty of hunger and
neglect.
