MIRIAM
SOCIETY
MEETING.

At the entertainment given by the Mir
riam society for the benefit OF the hospital
fund of the Jewish committees OF this
city at the What Cheer hall. North Main
street. Governor Garvin was the princi-
pal speaker.
Governor Garvin spoke in part as fol-
lows: People are always ready TO re-
spond to appeals for aid for the main
tenance OF hospitals and similar institu-
tions. We know that there are wealthy
men in this country who are philanthropic
and who devote a great deal OF money to
charitable purposes. There are some peo-
pie who criticise these wealthy men and
say that they should not be allowed 20
have 40 much money. There are some
who say that Mr.. Carnegfe should have
paid higher wages 70 his employees. but
think that II will be found that he has
the reputation OF paying high rather than
plain about Mr. Rockefeller, saying that
he puts the price OF oil a half a cent
higher and then makes a large contribu-
tion to Chicago university.
The fault in respect TO these large
fortunes lies not in the individuals, but
In the system under which monopohes
are allowed to flourish. IL will be found
tnat the greatest CONTRIBUTORS 10 pnlldn-
throphy have come from the common peo-
pie. Although the hearts OF the people
have been touched and great advances
have been made. we have a higher civil
lization yet to attain. j am surprised that
Mr. Carnegie does not use some of his
wealth TO correct the injustices which ex-
ist on every hand There Is one wealthy
man above all others OF the present day
who is using his wealth 90 correct In
justices. and that Is Tom l.. Johnson,
mayor OF Cleveland.
Il believe that II Justice were done
every family would be able to look after
it's own sick, and that there would be
little need OF hospitals. Justice must
come 10 US through just laws. and we can
best secure these laws by getting hold
of the fundamental law. the state consti-
tuition. I urge you 20 give your assist
ance toward gaining n control OF your
| own organic laws and thus diminish pow
| erty and the need OF hospitals"
Executive Secretary Grieve made few
remarks, after which RABBI Hausman
/ spoke on The Present Position of the
Jews In Providence" Miss Lena Lewando

F1nklestein as accompanist. Rabbi Hor-
WITT OF Woonsocket gave an address In

which was followed by n song by Rabbi

pleasing program.

fashionable Wall Papers.

The fashionable wall papers to choose
this year are a soft or yellow brown
for your parlor and rich peacock blues
for your dining room. Red is no
longer fashionable and especially is it
banished from all rooms in which there
is oak finish. For the hall or library
green paper is suggested. Or for the
dining room one is chosen which has
touch of Oriental red intarmixed,
While the pure peacock tones are sug-
gested for carrying into the hall. One
of the prettiest bedroom papers is
stripe in deep French pink which is
to be carried to within thirty inches of
the ceiling. The frieze and the whole
ceiling is then done III a thickly
Powered paper, the roses of the same
shade covering a dark blue trellis.
There is an art cotton which can be
mad in the same shade of pink to be
used for curtains, and which is a boon
to the housekeeper on account of its
washing qualities. Blue and white
washable rugs are suggested for this
room if the blue is to be emphasized
rather than the pink

Wed at Same Age.

There is one thing in this world, at
least in such part of it as is represent
ed by the city of Chicago, that does
not change. That is the average age
at which people get married.
Men may come and men may go, even
a new mayor may be some day elected
here, but people will not begin to get
married any younger or any older than
they did when the city was new. At
least that is what Clerk Salmonson of
the marriage license bureau says.
In the twenty-five years that I have
been at this window" said Mr.. Salmon

of couples that come in here for Ii
