APPOINTING THE DAY OF THANKSGIVING
PROCLAMATION FROM THE WHITE HOUSE IS ONE OF THE
MOST SERIOUS DUTIES THAT DEV0LVE
UPON THE PRESIDENT.

The only piece Of really pure litera.
ture ever officially issued from the
White house is the proclamation ap
pointing a day of Thanksgiving. All
other papers written by the president
are business documents, the phraseoi.
ogy OF which is technical; but this an
nual message TO the people is always
a painstakingly worded and grateful
composition. A fairly illustrative eX.
ample will be found in Mr.. Rooseyelts
proclamation setting aside the last
Thursday Of the present month for the
Thanksgiving of 1906.
1t is the duty Of Mr.. Loeb twho runs
the machinery q the presidents bust
ness. arranging all his engagements
for him) to call Mr.. Rooseyelt's attea-
ton TO the sact that Thanksgiving ap-
proaches. and to remind him that q
proclamation must be written. OF
course. it requires considerable time
to do this, and so busy a man as the
chief executive OF the nation might be
excusable If he handed over the task
10 some subordinate, %cOltenting him
self with afiXing his signature. But
custom demands that the work shall
be performed by the president himself
Accordingly, when the proclamation
has 20 be prepared, the president de.
votes some time to thinking out a new
shape in which to put the more or less
s]tereotyped ideas which are to be cX-
pressed, ana, as he does so, jots down

and interlineations, and in this shape

For severe tailor mades the long,
narrow, Nat sleeve is the thing. Then
there are costumes which are rather
too dressy for the severe arm finish,
and In this case the sleeve is OF three

toilet, for instance, with either full or
three-quarter length sleeves would be
out Of taste-cultivated as our taste
is to the short, coquettish sleeve. So

reciprocates. Suddenly the big man, in the midst of

he rushes to Paris. But it is too late.
The human problem confronts him, and that
is the crisis of American society. The code of hon

tinctive zeal for their faith, operates strongly against mixed marriages,
so that, almost unanimously, liberal and orthodox Jews, officially, at least.
are opposed to the existing tendency.
The mere refusal Of most rabbs to ohciate at such marriages will
never prevent one of them. Whatever the future of such unions and
however much the rabbi may be opposed to them, whenever the mar
riage is unalerably decided upon, it would seem plainly wiser to give the
parties the sympathy and sanctty of religion than to withhold these and
thus to estrange still farther from the faith those daring souls, who defy
custom, convention, prejudice and possible ostracism, in order to prove
the supremacy of love.
Are mixed marriages a failure? Yes, most likely. But probably
only a little more frequently than other marriages. Who that knows the
situation will dare to say that, from any ideal viewpoint, marriage j.
conspicuous as the most social institution? How many husbands and
wives art boon companions, comrades, united in that eternal friendship
which marriage at its best should be?
But that's another story. Mixed marriage is dangerous between
members of any group that have not learned to respect and love one
another. AS all of ones environment enters into ones marital relation
ship, it is plain that for Jew and non-Jew, Catholic and Protestant and
Sc on all along the line of surviving social antagonsms, mixture of these
groups in marriage would be better delayed until their mutual attitude
has changed into permanent frendlness and their intercourse has be-
come as natural with one another as it is among themselves.
That is the vanishing point Of the problem of mixed marriage. But,
until then, all those who make this dangerous experiment simply import
into their particular case another of the many factors which normally
make successful marriage so difficult and rare an achievement.
For the Jew, the problem of mixed marriages is complicated still fur.
thr by its plain application to his very existence as a separate social fact
and the continuance of his religious career. For him the increase Of
mixed marriage can mean only a slow suicide, a reabsorption into the
ocean of humanity, the attainment of his Nirvana, for which he had
hoped only on the day of the completion of his mission, when a united
human brotherhood would acknowledge the universal fatherhood of a
Just and loving God.
