Miss E. 8. Hamilton, secretary of the Board of Supervisors, road her report of the admirable work dene by the Board in supplementing the surgical aid rendered with moral and educational assist ance and needful diversion. She called attention to the otttvtstttng work, for which the salary Is paid by a member of the Board. Mrs. Whltelaw Reid, as home; one of the most Important features of the charity. The duties of this nurse are to visit discharged patients at their homes and ass that the prescribed treatment Is carried on. In this way assuring many cures with which the Ignorance or neglect of parents would have in terfered. Several friends contributed summer - -n<-s to patients. The curgeon-In-ch!ef, Russell A.

Dr. Hlbls cpoke cf the need of a home in the country '<•- tuberculosis caaes, saying that euch a home trouia tend to more rapid cure. The president then introduced Bishop Potter as one -whose presence always brought sunshine. The P --,-. began In a jesting manner by saying that Lord P— const! rid once was asked what he would do to Interest a man in conversation who showed ¦o Interest in him. "Beaconsfleld answered: 'I should say. "How Is the old complaint That al ways ¦ Interests people, and they can talk In definitely on that subject. 'I think that I have a more personal Interest In this institution than. Perhaps, any other here. Many years ago I was hi the Tosemlte. and my horse fell on me. Last year a doctor of my acquaintance looked at the in jured ankle with the X-ray and told me that two of the bones had never knit." Then, turning to ex- Governor Roosevelt, be added: "I think that even the Governor, after his Ban Juan, will admit that I deserve some credit for doing my duty for twenty-five years with a broken leg!" In more serious vein be spoke of the work of the hospital and the relation of the individual con tributor. "Tour duty is not discharged by giving of your means and coming here on anniversary days." he added. "You must give the touch of Tour band, the sympathy of our presence. The danger of modern life is ovecinstltutlons.

A DISCUSSION HELD AT A MEETING OF THE LEAGUE OF UNITARIAN WOMEN. A speech on "Points of Contact between Judaism and Christianity" by Mrs. Frederick Nathan was the feature of the day at the meeting of the New- York League of Unitarian Women In All Souls' Unitarian Church yesterday. The Jewish religion, pure and simple, is the oldest of all religions, said Mrs. Nathan. She quoted Dr. McGlffen. of this city, who asserted that "Christianity, as the. old Apostles believed it, was Judasim and nothing more." She described some of the ancient Jewish customs, which vary only slightly from many now In use in Christian churches. The charity and love taught by both Jews and Christians, she declared. is the basis of both religions. She deplored the fact that the spirit of Christ's teaching la not more universal after nineteen hundred years, and that the peace which He proclaimed seemed yet so far away. Miss Blade, of the Philanthropic News Commit tee, read a detailed account of the various Jewish charities in this country, and described the appli cation of the Baron de Hlrsch fund In Its various departments. An appeal was made by Mrs. Robert H. Davis for contributions toward the expenses of a student who Is preparing for the ministry in Meadvillo College. Solos were sung by Mrs. Morris Black, and a luncheon closed the day. ART XEEDLEWOh'K n\ i r;oH'V. QUEEN WIMIRI^MIN.vs WEDDING GOWN IS CLOTH OF SILVER, EXQUISITELY EMBROIDERED. The rumor that Queen Wllhelmina's marriage to Duke Henry may not take place after all would consign to at least temporary retirement one of the most magnificent wedding gowns on record. The wonderful embroidery that Is to be used lav ishly la being executed In the Royal School of Art Needlework, In conjunction with the Rljks Museum at Amsterdam. This institution Is directed by Mme. Van Emstede Wlnkler. who Is a practical worker herself. She has selected her eight or nine most highly skilled students, one of whom, Mrs. Tue Laer. is an American by birth, and for some weeks past they have all b*-«n continuously employed upon their royal task. The entire dress Is to be of cloth of silver, so exquisitely supple and fine In texture that it suggests those Indian muslins which "could be pulled through a ring." It has been specially woven, and. naturally, at great cost, and will be made up over the richest white glace silk. Tho whole front of the jupe will be worked In a tapering de-l*n. harmonizing with the train, broad at tho hern and narrowing toward the v. .r. ; Th, f.;; court train of two and a half metres on the ground falls from the waist, and Is surrounded by two Jroad bands of the embroidery. The general Idea or this is detached sprays of orange blossoms and their foliage connected In artistic style by scrolls and ribbons. Each one of the clusters of the flowers has & single fully opened bloom, and Is surrounded by buds more or less developed. Fine seed pearls are being used for these, while the foUage Is Indi cated by sliver threads and paillettes. In addition to tbe pearls and paillettes no fewer than six kinds of silver bullion twist are employed to produce the different effects required, and most of the Inter lacing ribbon suggested Is highly raised, or. In technical t->rm. "couched." The embroidery is worked upon the silver tissue and the white silk foundation as well, thus Imparting to It richness as well as firmness. No work Is to appear upon the bodice, which, according to Dutch custom for a State wedding, will be cut low. It is to be draped with Brussels lace, of which the Queen possesses an extremely valuable collection, both of antique .-md modern examples, and the veil will be of the hamo lov. .v .., .- The robe of State prepared for the reception to be held by tbe Queen at the conclusion of the honey moon is of equal magnificence, being of the richest white velvet, with a court train lined and bordered ¦with the choicest ermine. En suite Is a cloak of white velvet and ermine, and It is said that all the great fur BAarfceta of the world have been searched for the finest skins. H?tSeJh?ldlALKs.

TRIBUNE. SATURDAY. JANUARY 5. 1J)O1. A (ALL FOR VOLUNTEERS. PRACTICAL WORKERS ASKED TO ASSIST THE LEAGUE FOR POLITICAL BMTGATIOS. Volunteer workers are loudly called f r by th* League for Political Education, and as the easaa is one in which there is a large and general Interest the league is hopeful of obtaining many. Robert E. Ely. one of the managers of the work, said yester day at the league rooms. No. 23 West Forty-fourth st., that the organization does not attempt so much to introduce new methods as to make those already existing more effective. "We have no political axe to grind, no special party to serve. The aim of the league is so to edu cate the less fortunate that they will be fitted for Intelligent citizenship. "There is room for a vast number of workers in the city and so many lines of carefully systema tized work that every one may choose the line she prefers. We use the Senate districts as a basis, making a map of each district, on which Is indi cated all existing agencies for good and evil. Every school, church, college or other neighborhood set tlement and library, every saloon and low club, are on the map. so that one can see at a glance what needs to be done and what efforts are being made to do it. "We put the volunteers into relations with kinder gartens or settlement work, or establish classes for lectures on civics and kindred topics. Last year we had a staff of twenty-live ready to give occasional talks on social and political subjects. "One of the important features of this branch of our work is that we bring the various agencies for improvement In harmonious relationship. Half Of the workers have not known of the work of the other half heretofore, and co-operation leads to a vast increase in effectiveness. Then, we invite the Alderman of the ward or the Assemblyman of the district to visit the organization, and see Its work and the necessity for it. "Some of the details might be of interest. For Instance, at the Nurses' Settlement. No. 255 Henry st., last year, a class of about thirty boys between the ages of fifteen and eighteen met twice a month for the study of civics. The members of the class were regular In their attendance, and showed an inspiring interest in the subjects discussed. This class will be resumed. "On one evening a week a class of about forty young men and women— school teachers, students, clerks and mechanics— studied eccnomics at the Young Man's Benevolent Association. East Broad way and Grand-st.. and the samo lecturer took some young men through a more advanced course at the Students' Club, No. 129 Leyington-ave. "At the Bible House a series of lectures was given to a group of men on sociological subjects, a short course on 'Citizenship' to a boys' club In East Forty -slxth-st., and a course on 'Civic Affairs' to a men's club at the Greenpclnt Settlement. Brooklyn. "At the King's Daughters' Settlement, No. 43 Henry-6t.. the Home Makers' Club had monthly talks from Miss Georgle Gordon, on 'Woman's Part In Civic Life.' at which there was an average attendance of thirty, and a keen Interest shown in the meetings, and In the friendly chats which followed. "It Is hoped that these classes also may be re vived this season. But these are only a few of the many avenues for usefulneas by volunteers. In the district bounded by Fifteenth and Third sts. and Thlrd-ave. and Hudson-st multitudes of young men and women are employed In the many shops ana the need of inculcating In them the habtt of thrift is great. This region comprises a large part of the old village of Greenwich, and In it are wretched houses hidden behind respectable street fronts. There are rear tenements in back courts which are sometimes closed so lha* access from the street must be through the halls of the houses In front. Model tenements are greatly needed, especially for negroes, who are compelled to pay exorbitant rents for rooms In rear tenements, and whose children are constantly subjected to evil influences." Miss Adele M. Fielde or Robert E. Ely will be at the league rooms every day from 10 to 11 a. m.. to meet all who desire to enroll themselves In any line of work. TBE WESTCBESTFR WOMArS CLUB.

The same Idea Is carried out in blos soms and four leaved clovers. Bracelets are coming Into nlden favor and are almost Invariably of the link variety. A beautiful one Is made of two strings of pearls connected at short Intervals hy bars set with turquoise or other Jewels. Another is of gold links with enamelled flowers Introduced. A lovely gown seen recently was of tobacco brown broadcloth with collar, vest, undersleeve and yoke of Russian lace and revers of broadtail. The lace was applied In novel fashion on the skirt, being only over the hips, beginning at the front gore and stopping at the back breadth. Straps of the cloth were stitched over it at the seams and on the wide collarette. The vest was of black satin on which the lace was appllqued. The hat accompanying was a low. wide boat shape of brown velvet and Rus sian lace, with black plumes and an Immense gold buckle.
