This Gobelin tapestry,-the only one
of the kind ever sent to this country
has as it's design a reproduction OF
painting made by Ehrman of Stras'
burg, a famous Alsatian painter.
The tapestry is two feet wide and
four feet long and the predominating
colors are blue, green and yellow. 1t
was made fully fifty years ago and the
subject is categorical in character, re-
presenting a woman Of the Middle
Ages dressed in long flowing robes of
blue and yellow and standing before
a lectern making illuminations upon
scroll. The figure is almost in pro.
file and the dark hair is curled about
the head in classic style. Around the
main picture is a border wider at
each end and narrower on the sides
In which wreaths, leaves and medal
lions appear at intervals. This tap
estry, small as it is, is said to be worth
from $4,000 to $4,000 !

left dependent on New York's public
charity through the desertion of the
parents is reckoned by the thousands.
As to the little unfortunates who are
classed as ungovernabe, who run
away from home, etc.-the fault lies
largely In the home. Indifference,
neglect and Ill treatment are the
causes of juvenile crime. Third class
theatres and their flaming advertise
ments are frequently the Incentive to
petty thieving in order to obtain the
price of admission, while the gay
career Of the villain in the play fires
the imagination Of the slum children
whose surroundings all tend to give
him cros>eyed view of morality.
Though the gallery Kisses the stage
villain, 1t admires his good clothes and
dashing pose, and the boy who has
stolen piece of lead pipe to pay hi
way In thinks he has just the nerve
and wit to save himself from the mis-
cradle climax which finishes the bad
man on the stage.
I'D victim Of poverty and Ito
evils in New York who,
through the death or Incompetence Of
It's parents or its own depravity, comes
within the jurisdiction Of the public
charities is usually first sent to one OF
the city's institutions. There are 127
OF them, and to each the city pays
80 cents day Tor each infant cared
Tor and 81 a week for each child over
two years. The widower sending his
child en- to one of these institutions IN
requested to pay something towards
their support. II he fails the city
pays. A municipal officer is sent to
visit the surviving parents Of the chill
dren once year, and where conditions
have improved to the point which as
Sures health and comfort, the child is
returned to its home. The parents are
not always anxious to regain possess
lon OF their children. It is q sad COM
mentary on human nature that they
EXHIBIT more eagerness In this direc-
ION after the child has reached an age
where 1t can earn money.

At one of the vacation Bible classes
last summer, some tenement children
were taught word-guessing game.
One of the words selected was
"home." The little girl whose turn it
was to guess failed to get clue, and a
boy trying to- help her, said, Think Of
something that smells awful and you
want to get away from quick" The
child guessed "house." The dirt and
foul atmosphere Of his home is dis

years Of age who form 19 per cent of
the population Of New York City, 25,-

Vaudeville at the Gennett.

All fear that the carnival would
prove disastrous to the attendance on
the vaudeville at the Gennett this
week has been set at rest by the at
tendance on the opening performance
which has been of the most satisfac-
tory nature and the matinees espec-
tally being surprisingly large. The bill
this week is it's own best ADVERTISE
ment and the good things that all
who have seen it are saying goes a
long way toward spreading the news
all over the city. Extended comment
on the bill at this time in the week
is not necessary and the only way to
get a real appreciation of the fifty
cents worth that is being given for
ten cents is to go and see it for your
self No one has as yet called at the
box Office to get his money refunded
because he was not satisfied with the
turn put on by Hickey and Nelson
who are guaranteed to make the most
skeptic laugh.
