day season, which will terminate with
the Feast of Tabernacles several
weeks later. Ten days after the New
Year celebration comes Yom Kippur
or the Day of Atonement, the most
solemn day, the sabbath of sabbaths,
of the Hebrew calendar. The days in.
tervening from Rosh Hashonah until
Yom kippur are known as the days
of repentance. Orthodox members of
the faith refrain from all sorts of
pleasure during that time. October
IA is the first day Of the Succoth fes-
tival, which continues seven days
among the reformed and eight days
among the orthodox Jews.
Rosh Hashonah, with the excep-
tion of Yom Kippur, is the most wide
ly observed holiday of the Jewish
year, the members of the faith, with
very few exceptions, refraining from
any manner of work. The occasion
is usually one for reunion of fami.
lies. The blowing of the shofar or
rams horn is a distinctive feature of
the New Year festival. In orthodox
churches this will be dispensed with
on account of the holiday coming on
the Sabbath. 1t will be observed on

germ Of an idea for anyone earning
her vacation fee this season.

during the perspiry days of June, July
and August. relates the Detroit, Free

luxury. Miss S. began operations
with one large strip of channels, the
entire skin, which she bought at
Wholesale rates. This she cut into
squares rather smaller than a wo.
mans handkerchief. The edges of some
were neatly scalloped, of others but.
tonholed in silk. She sold the palmer
sort at 10 cents, the fancier ones at
a quarter apiece. Each was busted
with delicately fragrant powder and
folded twice.
It was impossible in mot cases to
sell to toilers direct, but the forewo-
men in large establishments were
both kind and enthusiastic. Leave

II point of pride after molding for

man, but his beard is IA feet 2 Inches

GO inches from tip to tip. When Cou.

How They Do In Sweden.

a Stockholm letter in the Minneap-
oils Journal tells us that in Sweden a
barber will shave you for six cents
but you have to wash your own face
and comb your own hair.
Everybody trusts you and you are
expected to trust everybody.
You never have a dispute with the
tcabman over the fare. A taxameter
measures the distance you travel and
shows what you owe at any minute.
4 You get bill every day at the ho-
lei. This permits you to correct any
mistakes at once.
Women shine your shoes, shave
you, cut your hair and even give you
bath-unless you rebel.
Policeman salute the street car con.
sductors and are saluted by them

Although drinking is common one
seldom sees drunken man.
Tips are everywhere given, but
they are small. Ten ore t2h cents)
is the ordinary tip to cabman or por-

a lady always waits for a gentle
man to speak, instead of the reverse
as in America.
The comedians crack jokes on the

Seh-Supporting.
The higher education of women
marks the greatest social advance
that this country has made during the
last half century. During that time
we have come to make a general ap-
plication of the Delphic inscription:
Know myself" We are giving both
sexes the benefit of 1t. 1t is not the
least but one of the greatest advan-
tages Of this higher education that the
woman of to-day does know herself
much better than did her mother or
grandmother, and with that self
knowledge comes a better under
standing Of her relations to the world
about her.
The college girl of to-day is health

more resolute and more useful than
were the social butterflies or the
