CLOTH
dress is given up to women, just make
s. tour some afternoon among the fash
ionabe shops. There you will see the
most elaborate bathrobes and lOunging
robes, all done up in stunning colors.
One handsome lounging robe, which
looked as if it might be a garment of
state-it was 50 heavy and rich-was
made Of beautiful Zennanah silk,
which. with other expensive qualities,
IS soft and thick. 1t was black and
lined with the palest lavender taffeta,
having a wide turn down collar and
fastened at the neck and waist with
lavender cords.
Several others almost as rich looking
were of heavy brocaded cut velvet in
pale gray and deep crimson. looking
warm and comfortable enough to make
a tired business man long for his pipe,
his easy chair and magazine by the
fire.
Another. and with luxury written in
every fold of its ample girth. was a
robe of fine black broadcloth lined with
rich plaid. looking ever so warm and
comfortable.
But the most seryiceable was bath
robe of mercerized white cheviot,' with
broad variegated stripes running to the
deep hem. It was lined with terry
cloth and had deep cuffs and turn
down collar of the same. This, with
the heavy white cord at the waist, was
| ever so useful and could easily be
washed.
During these last few weeks of such
glorious weather that New York is al

not been much use for fur overc0ats

The Jewish outlook., 1906-06-15

come Of the prosecutions the Jews had
suffered, as was frequently asserted, but
that on the contrary it was vice inher-
ent in their character and one that had
been enjoined by Moses in order to Sc
cure the more effective separation of his
people from the other nations.
The day following the publication of
Mole's article, July 26th, Sabbath,
the assembly met to hear an address
from Mole, now one Of the three COM
missioners appointed by the Emperor to
convey his intentions to the notables
(the other two were M. Portals, son of
the minister of Justice, and Pasquier, a
member of the council of stAe) and to
elect it's officers. Mole's discourse, like
his previous utterances, was unfriendly
to the Jews and concluded by submit
ting the following twelve questions
l. Do you accept the monogamy Of
the civil law in spite of the Pentateucha
authorization Of polygamy?
3 Is divorce allowed by the Jewish
pronounced, not by courts of justice,
but by virtue Of laws in contradistinc-
ton to the French code?
3. May Jewess marry Christian, or
does Jewish law order that Jews should
only intermarry among themselves?
4. In the eyes of Jews are Frenchmen
not Of the Jewish religion considered as
brethren or strangers!
5. DO you admit that the rules Of hon
esty and humanity which you consider
obligatory in respect to your co-religion-
lists are also binding with regard to
Frenchmen?
6. Do the Jews born in France, and
treated by the law as French citizens
acknowledge France as their country?
Do they feel compelled to defend it, to
obey the public authorities and follow
the directions of the civil code?
7. Who elects the rabbis?
8. What kind of police jurisdiction do
rabbis exercise over the Jews? What iu-
dicial powers do they exercise over them?

these 81 came from France, that is
from the borders of that France as they
