Valued at Hundreds of Thousands of Dollars~Rare Tapestries, Silk, Jewelry and other Ornaments from Every Country. No other American girl has received wedding presents so numerous, valu- able or interesting as those which have been showered upon President Roosevelt's oldest daughter.

It was the wish of the French people and officials to present to the White House bride the most exquisite and precious thing that could be selected and quite naturally they selected a special product of their best workshop, This Gobelin tapestry, the only one of the kind ever sent to this country, has as its design a reproduction of a 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. It Is Second O'dest Man in the United States Senate, But Possessed of a Square Fighter. Senator John ‘I. Morgan of Alabama, eighty-one years old, or eighty-one years young, is, with the excepton of his colleague, Senator Pettus of Ala- | bama, the oldest man in the @rant who, next to Alice Roosevelt, had the most brilliant White House wedding received many costly gifts from all parts of the world but her trophies pale by comparison with those of the first White House bride of the present century. For one thing there were only two hundred guests at the marriage of Nelly Grant and Algernon Sartoris whereas nearly one thousand persons were invited to the White the number of presents in the latter ease outnumbers those in the former instance in the same proportion. Recognized as Great World Power, Then too, Uncle Sam was not near ly so much of a World Power in the days of President Grant as he has House wedding of 1906 and of course | sch been since the Spanish-American] War and consequently it is small won-| der if the various rulers of the world Rave manifested greater interest in the auptials of the daughter of the pres ent Chief Magistrate than they did | fn the similar event a quarter of a cen. tury ago.

Many Half Orphans, Complete orphanage is less frequent than fs generally supposed. In most cases that come under the attention of the charities associations, the children are half orphans. However when the father is the surviving parent, the re- sult as far as t»» treaking up of the home is concerned is the same. A man rarely sveceeds In keeping his children together. If they are very young a woman's care is imperative, and where poverty prevents the hiring of nurses, the charitable institution is the alternative.

The healthy members are deprived of the necessaries of life to provide some slight medical ald and a small measure of comfort for the invalid, so that by the time the end comes the whole fam. fly is frequently half starved as well as wholly impoverished, and to make matters worse the survivors are apt to spend the last cent on the funeral Tice and crime are yet more discour- aging sources of distress The num- ber of children rendered homeless through the misconduct of thelr par ents 1s large and is Increasing.

A municipal officer is sent to visit the surviving parents of the chil dren once a year, and where conditions ihave 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 jon of their children. It Is a sad com- mentary on human nature that they lexhibit more esgerness in this direc- tion after the child has reached an age where it can earn money. To Make Better Citizens, New York gives more largely to charity than any other city and Its methods are most severely criticised. Nearly $8,000,000 was contributed last vear, almost half of which went to in- stitutions for the d-~“‘tute. It has been voiversally agreed, however, that the best means for caring for the waifs of great cities 1s by providing them with homes in country families. The | precaution of first making sure that {the child's parents or relatives will never be able or willing to care for it | is urged.
