United Hebrew Charities Tells of
Success of Mutual Aid"

The increased ability Of persons to care
for themselves through the medium OF
mutual aid societies and fraternal organl-
cations is the explanation which the United
Hebrew Charities gives in its annual report
for the decrease in the numbers of appli-
cants for aid during the last year.
Since the year 1904 this decrease has oc-
Cured regularly, with the exception of the
panic years of 1907 and 1908. Only one
fourth Of the persons assisted in 1911 were
new applicants, and the total number was
557 less than in the previous year. These
conditions have obtained In spite of the
fact that the society has instituted several
new and constructive measures In the last
year which have been the means OF caring
for greatly increased number of persons
The first of these innovations was the
formation of a committee on advice and
information TO widows. The plan is to get
in touch with the widow as soon as the
husband dies and advise her as to ways and

Queen Alexandra's New Maid Of Honor,

Queen Alexandra has performed singu-
larly gracious and kindly action in ap-
pointing Miss Ivy Gordon-LennoX, only
child Of Lord and Lady Algernon Gordon
Lennox. who are so we'll known IN Amer
lea, to the post Of maid Of honor. Miss
Ivy Gordon-Lennox now twenty-five years
of age. is a niece Of the present Duke Of
Richmond, and her appointment carries
with It a salary of $500 a year all sorts
Of privileges at court, and the right to the
prefix of Honorable" for the remainder OF
her life, although she is not the daughter
of a peer of the realm Henceforth she
will be known as the Hon. Ivy Gordon
Lennox; and if she marries a commoner,
even II he be a knight or baronet, she Will
he either the Hon. Lady Blank" or the
Hon. Mrs. Blank" Moreover. on the oc-
casion Of her wedding, she will not, assin
former days, receive 5000 for her trous-
seau, but a very handsome gift of jewelry
from her royal mistress, whose jewelled
initials and crown she will henceforth wear,
fastened to the left shoulder OF her corsage,
when in evening dress as a badge Of office.
Her mother, Lady AlgernOn GordOn-Len-
nox, is the only sister of the socialist
Countess of Warwick. who was for mary
years an object of displeasure on the part
Of Queen Alexandra. The latter's prejudice
did not. however, extend to the other MEM
bers of Lady WarWlck's family, foE she
has always shown herself gracious to
Lady Warwicks half sister, the Duchess
of Sutherland; while Lord Warwick's broth
er, the Hon. Sir Sidney Greville, was for
several years her private secretary, be-
fore his appointment to his present office
of paymaster of the royal household. An
other brother of Lord Warwick is Colonel
the Hon. Alwyn Fulke Greyille, equerry in
turn TO Edward VII and TO King George,
and who has always enjoyed high place
in Queen AleXandra's regard, as having
been the fevorite waiting OF
her eldest and still deeply mourned son,
the late Duke OF Clarence.
The Hon. Ivy will only be expected to be
in attendance on Queen Alexandra during
the latter's residence in London and during
her yachting trips, being relieved OF duty
when the Queen is at Sandringham. While
in London she will live with her parents,
being brought every day in royal carriage
to Marlborough House, and the only re-
striction placed on her is the obligation Of
complying with her royal mistress's views
on the subject Of dress, Queen Alexandra
obiectng to everything I'm the nature Of
exaggeraton. in the matter of coiffure. hats
and frocks.
The Hon. Ivy is a very pretty girl, and
may be said TO match in comcliness Queen
Alexandra's other maid Of honor, the Hon.
Violet Vivian, who when she was over here
spent some time with Mrs. G. Won L"
Meyer, wife of the Secretary Of the Navy,
and with her daughters at Washington.
Miss Ivy Gordon-Lennox Is descended,
through her mother, from the former Lord
Maynard, whose viscounty has now become
extinct, but the name of which figures fire.
ouently in the pages Of English history.
