very slowly or be stopped. on the
other hand, if there is a period of great
depression and lack of employment it
may be well to go fast and perhaps
have more than one building under
way at the same time.
''It would certainly be an advantage
to have one building finished and rented,
and see how it rents and suits tenants
before starting to erect a second. My
object is to make the money do as
much good as possible.
Il should like the buildings to have
all the light and air possible, to have
them fireproof and thoroughly sanitary,
and so far as possible to have spaces
around them in which the children
could play.

MODEL TENEMENTS.

Since the announcement OF the be-
quest Mr.. Phipps and his associates
have been besieged with questions rela-
tive to the proposed Improvement. The
question oftenest asked, and of most
Importance, perhaps, is that regarding
the personnel of the tenancy. What
measures. if any. viii be taken to re-
strict the tenancy to the class of people
for whom the model houses are to be
built-that is, the very poor? All such
inquirers Mr.. Phipps refers to DR..
Gould, whose experience in the building
and management of the model tene-
ments already existing in New York is
of much practical value in the solution
of this difficulty which insists upon pre-
senting itself in the minds of the du-
bious
That is a problem which has really
given US no difficulty whatever" said
DR.. Gould we find invariably that
the people who seek house room in our
model tenements are precisely the class
for whom those tenements were built.
In the Alfred Corning Clarke buildings
We have 800 people. A roster of their
trades and professions shows them to
be invariably artisans and common la
boring people. There is one doctor. one
dentist, one dancing teacher. one stamp
and coin collector. The largest number
or any one calling is that of walters,
who number twenty-four; next in order
come clerks, with a total of twenty.
There are fifteen street car conductors.
twelve dressmakers, ten general day
workers. The rest of the number are
divided into fifty-seven lines Of employ
ment, all more or less humble and of
precarious nature
The exact location for the buildings
has not yet been decided, though the
likelihood is that some viii be in Har-
lem and some in the lower east side.
provided appropriate sites can be OBJ
tained at reasonable figures. IF land
be found to be too costly, or if building
conditions are such as to threaten un-
due cost Of construction or unreasona
bic delay, then we will build in other
boroughs of the city, or elsewhere"
says Mr.. Phipps, who outlines his

4 PRACTICAL LDEALESL.

He is q practical man, dealing with
facts. not with theories. When he finds
q condition that needs Improvement he
does not account for that condition by
any academic theory; he searches out
The fact responsible for it, and with
the combined magic Of money and
brains goes about to establish an insti-
tuition which viii Mt that fact.
In this respect Mr. Phipps is the very
antithesis of his boyhood companion
and lifelong friend. Andrew Carnegie
Mr.. Carnegie is an idealist in his phil
snthropy. He would have all men edu

economic salvation. Mr.. Phipps. on the
contrary. would have all men well
housed, well fed, free from sickness and
disease, and, thus conditioned, allow
them to get their own education.
Associated with Mr.. Phipps in the
movement are some Of the best known
citizens in New York. and it is under
stood that his donation is merely one
Of many Of equal iberality which will
follow as part Of well organized plan

problems.
When Mr.. Phipps first decided to de-
vote great part Of his wealth to this
enterprise he consulted Robert W. de
Forest, who was Tenement House Com
missioner in Mayor Lows administra-
tion; DR.. E. r L. Gould, of the City
and Suburban Homes Company, which
is engaged in building model tenements
on an extensive scale; Alfred T. White
and Charles S. Brown, the latter two Of
whom were members Of the New York
State Tenement House Commission of
1900, which framed the existing tene-
ment house laws.

their past experience people are living
in permanent honeymoon estate. Re-
move this hook. hope or prospect CT

to many real or imaginary evils.
Some pessimists say that marriage Is
a failure. That is absurd The crea-
tion of God can never be a
failure Divorce is a failure be-
cause it is the creation not OF God
but of imprudent anl passionate man
If a man when about to marry would
think as a sensible man does in any

then he would not make the serious
mistake which an unthinking man
makes in marrying.
The man or the woman who marries

beauty or money, as general rule
finds the marriage 10 Q failure. Mat
rimony is permanent, and beauty and
money are very transitory. Beauty
without character is not more attrac-
tive to man than beautiful doll;
money without honor and respectability
is repulsive to any man or woman of
decency. Any man or woman therefore
who enters into the state of matrimony

A marriage of this kind is blessing.
Divorce is a curse.

themselves, an effort to give the very
poor an environment of cleanliness and
comfort at the lowest possible cost. The
proposed model tenements are not in
tended for those who are accustomed
to comfortable quarters. but it is the
aim of the donor and his associates to
reach down into the very dregs of So
ciety and drag to little higher plane
those who are tied down to their pres
ent level by poverty and illness. Mr..
Phipps would help the heIpIess-the un-
thrifty and shiftless if you ike-and
by putting them upon a more solid
footing hopes to see them later become
able to help themselves.
Close friends of Mr.. Phipps say that
not half Of his charities are known.
His attempts at secrecy that have fall
ed are evidence that there are secrets
that have been kept When a gift from
Mr.. Phipps is announced 1t Is because
there is some object to be attained by
publicity. In 1890 he announced a gift
Of $4,000 to the Carnegie Library in
Allegheny for the purchase of books.
1t was one OF the few gifts in which
he has made conditions. but these con-
ditions, he believed, required publicity
UP to that 'time the Carnegie Library
was closed on Sundays, and Mr. Phipps
believed that 1t should be open during
certain hours at least He therefore
offered the library board $4,000. with
the stipulation that the reading rooms
be open from noon until D. m.

beauties of the world he felt it his
duty to give others an opportunity to-
see and to understand. In his own
home he had a conservatory filed with
the flora and fauna of every land and
cline, but it was not possible to invite
the people of the whole city to come
to see and to enjoy those beauties. He
therefore gave to the Park Commission
of the city a sum of money sufficient to
build much larger conservatory and
to gather together an even better col
lection than his own. Thus he felt he
was giving the poorest people of his
home city an opportunity to get away
from their workaday existence and into

aisles. He was caught as in a trap.
and for the first and only time in his
life he was present at the dedication
of one of his gifts. Perhaps 1T was
stage fright but his friends declare
it was modesty that caused him to hide
in dark corner, protected from view
by a huge palm tree. There he. re-
manned for four hours while the crowds
came and went, refusing to try to reach
an exit until he was fully assured that
he would not be seen.

with his new dispensation, he began
his public life by blessing the biblical
wedding of Cana and by making ON
that occasion the first miracle recorded
of him, and that is the changing of
the water into wine, and elevating the
dignity of matrimony by adding a new
grace, a sacrament for all his follow
ers; so that since then two Christians
cannot be validly married without re-
ceivipg the sacrament of Christ, though
Christians may be validly married

HIS NAM PHlLANTRR0PiES.

These conServatories are the only gifts
of Mr.. Phipps that have not been ma
terialistic In all his other gifts he
has tried to help people who were
down and OUT and could not help
themselves. His gift Of an agricultural
college to India carried with it the hope
that the people of India could be taught
means to prevent the terrible famines
that every few years devastate the land
and claim thousands Of victims by
starvation. He knew there was rem
edy and he Immediately provided the
means to discover and apply it. 1t may
require many years to develop such
remedy, but it was Mr.. Phipps who saw
the first step that should be taken. He
had the same idea in view when he
gave $25O,O0O to help the Transvaal
burghers rehabilitate their farms after
the close of the disastrous war which
cost them their independence. He knew
that it would require only a little aid
at the beginning to put them on their
feet again, and his hand was in his
pocket almost before the thought was
in his mind. 1t was not the fault of
Mr. Phipps, by the way, that the
burghers learned to whom they were
indebted for this timely helping hand.
He gave his check with the understand
ing that his name should not be made
public. However, such a secret is too
L
The most universal of the philan-
thropies of Mr.. Phipps. the one that
will reach the greatest number of peo-
pie every year, undoubtedly is the hos
pitaI for consumptives in Philadelphia
His muniflcence not only paid for the
erection and equipment of the building,
but provided an endowment fund, leav-
ing no burden to be shouldered by fu-
ture generations of philanthropic citi-
zens or taxpayers. 1t has always been
his desire to make his gifts complete
whenever possible, so that no aid will
be necessary in the future to carry out
his plans. In his hospital for con-
sumptives Mr.. Phipps reaches the
largest class Of invalids in the world,
invalids who can be helped back to
health and strength under proper con-
ditions, and whose ailment grows
rapidly worse under the handicap Of
Improper surroundings. Physicians
convinced Mr.. Phipps that large per-
centage of the deaths from tuberculosis
is the result Of a lack Of sunshine and
pure air, and he Immediately sought
remedy. The donation to build and
equip a perfectly appointed hospital
followed. Undoubtedly hundreds of
people owe their lives to this institution,
and hundreds Of others will be added
to the roll of beneficiaries as the years
pass. Then, too, the scientific study
of tuberculosis provided for by him will
result in the dissemination of a knowl-
edge of the disease which will reach
every part of the world.
Finally comes the attempt of Mr..
Phipps to help the tenement dwellers
of New York. 1t is but another effort
to help those who are unable to help

In the February Worlds Work is a.
curious new phase of the subject of
wireless telegraphy. Eugene P. LYLE

only the surface of the earth, but it's

that law shall control the atmosphere.

before God and men without the sacra-
ment.
The primary object of matrimony is
to increase and multiply and fill the
earth with human beings; and sec
ondly, for husband and wife to help,

dispensable in order to carry out the
destiny of divine providence.

M MOST important DeQueST

81 without doubt Mr.. Henry
Phipps' gift Of 81 OOO, 900 to

for the workingmen Of New York Mr..

which il can scarcely fail TO establish

that the present intent of the movement
being inaugurated by his gift is the al
deviation of the miseries Of the very
poor in the abolishment Of the dark
warrens where they are forced to live
under conditions all but intolerable. the
general effect of the bettering of such
conditions must ultimately bring with
it an Improvement in the housing ia
