Long Branch, West End, N. j., Aug.
12.-I have started on the fly. Who shall
say where shall land?
The charm of Long Branch lies in the |
fact that it is an ever varying procession |
in which men and women OF all degrees |
and positions may parade. There is the |
rich brokers' handsome wife in her smart |
trap; the gay young girl driving pony |
cart full of children; the numerous
women and children at the side of the
road, walking along, watching the pro-
cession that goes to form Vanity FAIR
Like great department store, you can at
Long Branch get anything You want. AT
this end are the finest hotels and cottages,
and from them pour out to drive, to walk
or to go to the dances what is known as
''the wealth and beauty of the metropolis"
Farther down are the hotels where peo-
pie are less particular IN their manners
and costumes and where it is counted
| as among the possibilities of life that
| one can live without maid. You run
down here as | did the other day and
with friend join the long and gay pro-
cession late in the afternoon only to be
surprised at one thing, and that is the
great number of rich, cultured and
beautiful Jewish women who are to be
| found here.
Invariably, as it grows near train time,
their carriages come oul of line, and each
| one wends its way toward the station,
for the mistress of each one is going to
meet her husband or her father. Last
night dined at the house of a wealthy
Jew, an orthodox one, but | should not

which they have been true for thousands
of years. You know, l am a great adj
mirer of Jews, not that type of which
you usually think, my friend, the i'm
pertinent, ignorant, decidedly bad man
pered drummer, but the wcll-bred, intel
ligent Jewish gentleman and lady, such
as may be met all over the world, al
though IN this country they are oftenest
found in Charleston, in Baltimore or, as
is natural where there are great numbers
of people, in New York.
How many of you know that the city
of Baltimore was really founded by a
Jew, Mendez Cohenf How many people
know that the greatest music, the finest
poetry and the most interesting novels
, have come from the pens of Jews2 The
, Jew is essentially mystical creature be-
cause into his life comes so much that
must be regarded as holy. Did you ever
, know jew who, like Quaker, allowed
, the poor of his congregation to suffer :
Aud, oddly enough, did you ever know
Jew who didn't enjoy funny story
about himself or who wasn't ready to
/ resent any insult TO his religion or to the
women of his family?
