long been a peculiar shrine, d kind Of
museum Of those survivals which seem
sadly scattered when we hunt them up
in more important places. The old
buildings Of Boston, for example, or
Of Philadelphia, are pressed hard by
their modern neighbors. Salem has of
course suffered to a certain extent
from incurslons of the styles of later
times, and in our own rambles about
the town We have come upon plenty
of merely commonplace things. b.
Salem can still claim to possess som.
thing like a concentration of the idea
Of its eighteenth century past.
some of its streets the atmosphoi
seems literally that of a hundred yeas
age. Salem, in short, preserves
ancient physiognomy.
Miss Felicie Waldo Howell has ha
the inspiration to paint it. She give
us, indeed, in her exhibition at tn.
Macbeth Gallery almost a full lengtf
portrait of Salem. Full length
might not seem to be precisely the
word, inasmuch as this is more par
ticularly an exhibition of d~oorways;
tut, as a matter Of fact, Miss Howe
sometimes wreaks herself upon a whole
facade and in any case she has so de-
Iineated her doorways that the very
spirit OF Colonial Salem at large seems
to be embodied in her work. We may
cite in particular illustration her study
o. the doorway at Mansfield House, in
its bower Of living green. Here is the
charm Of Salem in its very essence,
the charm Of refined and at the same
time utterly unsophisticated simpli-
city, the charm Of a serene dignity
linked to the tradition Of classical
architecture, not by classical scholar
ship, but by just a native good taste.
Miss Howell has with admirable good
judgment noted in her catalogue the
builders-and dates-of her houses, and
N the preface allusion is made to the
leading architect in the towns annals,
Samuel McIntire. The temptation is
strong TO digress into purely archi-
tectural byways. These Colonial de-
signers were men Of remarkable gifts.

possess that artist genius for com

hand, as 4 painter cultivating in gentle

does not matter that he was inexpert

Of the sort when he could paint, in

This collection Of about a score Of his

The banking committee Of the Pacif-

formation Of Cooperative Finance
Company. This organization, it is re-
ported, provides the means whereby
the thousands Of members who. have
small savings to invest. can turn them
into the cooperative movement. The
Finance Company will be savings in
stitution. 1t will provide loans to &C.
Operative organizations and individu-
ais with legitimate business or personal
security. AS is stated by the commit
tee:
Thus we will fill two crying needs
of the movement: First, provide
place for members to put their money
safely, and second, place from which
the movement can secure financial as
s:stance when necessary.

adoption of an adequate law for CO.
operative banking.
Issuing a general statement, the COM
mittee says in part:
up to the present many worthy en-
terprises, especially among co-opera-
tors, have been neglected for want Of
two things: persons qualified by ex-
perience and administrative ability to
direct them, and the finances neces-
sary for their promotion. Ii is the in
tention and purpose of the Co-opera
tive Finance Committee to consider
applications that reach them for this
kind of assistance, and to provide
it where such enterprises have the ele-
ment Of success. 1t will refuse to
promote mines, oil companies and oil
lease syndicates.
Zone of the ideas at the back of the
Cooperative Finance Company is to
collect and organize efficiency meth
DDS as well as capital in order to put
into successful operation the legitimate
aspirations and principles of the peo-
pie; its doing this will gather together
the most prominent technicians for adj
vice and the best leaders of business
for direction, and will also offer to
many thousands Of people with money
to invest an opportunity to put their
money where it will be safe and at the
same time work comparatively for the
common good.
In this department of the Company
will be provided auditors and apprais-
ers as we'll as experts and efficiency
engineers. Accountants will be avail
able to assist business enterprises and
to systematic concerns in need Of such
service. Improved mechanical plans
for directing work will be submitted on
request of any department Of business.
The organization has available to draw
upon the best talent in the state for
this purpose.
1T is the aim and object Of the Co
operative Finance Company to work
together in every possible way with the
cooperative stores on the Pacific
Coast. to further their objects and to
extend the work in the practical chan.
nels Of which the above is an example
Their experience and their support will
be enlisted by the company wherever
possible"
