Hebrew Calendar Special nusIcal
Programme

commence the celebration of Pesach, the
feast of the Passover. The date, April
Sth, corresponds with the 14th day of the
month Vissan, the first ecclesiastical
month of the Hebrew year.
he Passover is perhaps the prettiest Of
all the Hebrew festivals. 1t was origi-
nally designed to commemorate the de-
liverance of the Hebrew race from the
tyranny of Egypt and with its observance
We're connected many symbolic customs.
The main and striking characteristic of
g festival is the fact that no leavened
bread OF any kind is permitted to be
used. This prohibition is even extended
to beer, confectionery. malt liquors-in
TACT to any food which has undergone the
process of fermentation. The staple
article OF diet is the matzo. or unleavened
cake, made of -four and water, but with
out yeast or other fermenting matter.
The first two nights of Passover are
called Seder nights. On both of these
nights special service of prayer is held
III every Jewish home. at which many an
cient and curious customs are carried out.
On the supper table are placed bitter
herbs of various kinds to symbolic
Egyptian tyranny, the shankbone OF a
lamb, representing the ancient paschal
lamb, and mixture Of chopped apples,

When all the assem- bled company are

cup OF wine in his hand, pronounces the
Kiddush, or sanctification prayer. de

cake, saying in Chaldaic Like this was

The youngest male member of the com
pany then asks in Hebrew: why is this
night distinguished from all other nights?
Why the unleavened bread and the bitter
herbs?" The answers to these questions
are furnished in the Hagada, which is

AT the meeting of the FL Club Espan-
oil last Friday evening, eight new mem
bers were elected. Mrs. Phipps gave a
brief review OF the hattering progress of
the club during the first quarter just
ended, and in regard'to the future posi-
biitics spoke in substance as follows:
"Ihis organization ought to mean more
than the mere gathering together OF
American and Spanish people for social
purposes and the practice OF the Spanish
language. 1t should be intrumentat in
creating and fostering an interest in the
history and literature, as well as the
language OF the people who have left their
touch mon a large portion OF our terri
tory, and whose descendants are cO-occu-
pants with us of the great American con-
tinent.
Not only are many Americans ignor-
ant Of the fact that Spain boasts rich
and varied literature, that Mexico has
made great.strides along intellectual lines
and holds an honorable place in the liter
airy world, and that South America is
not less advanced, but the new genera
tion of Spanish descent in this country
Is not well informed in these particulars,
and more than this constant contact
with English is perverting their use of
thS Spanish language in its native purity
without any com bined effort being made
10 resist such undesirable inroads.
1t would seem that El Club Es-
panol will not have attained the full
measare of its usefulness until it shall
have secured permanent headquarters for
the establishment Of a center where, in
addition to the delightful social functions
heretofore enjoyed, consideration may
be gi%en to the more serious questions
mentioned, where Spanish speaking peo-
pie may have access to Spanish periodicals.
from Spain, Mexico and South America
and where the nucleus of Il Spanish IL
brary may be formed.
AT the conclusion OF Mrs. Phipps' re-
,5slarks, committee was appointed to re-
-yl.lft -4ln ii-Ai--s-
J3nd the furnishing thereof and the club
then adjourned to meet Friday, April
goth, when side-splitting spanish farce
will be given by some OF the members.
