In an article on the decadence of Ju-
daism in France Dr. Max Nordau has
this to say in the Jewish Chronicle
london: How many French Jews
still hold religious beliefs? l will not
make any guess as to the number, but
it is certainly very small. If Judaism
is only a religion, then religious indif-
ference will soon put an end to Juda-
ISM"
He says that only by the reawaken-
ing of the Jewish national conscious
ness can Judaism be rescued and adds:
But should efforts to impress the
Jewish youth in France with the CON
seriousness of their clinical individual
ity, with all its consequences, end in
failure, then French Judaism is doom
ed with deadly certainty to speedy de-
cay"

Paving In church-Two Views.

A Jewish clergyman in Brooklyn,
writing about people who habitually
attend services at the synagogue with
out contributing toward its mainte-
nance. calls them moral parasites
and describes them further as "individ-
uals whose religious life steals its sub
stance from Others" He says there
are women parasites also and that
he has known women "to beat or steal
their way through their religious life"
In the course of his letter he refers to
them as "avariciOus," congregational
parasites" moral degenerates," etc,
and says that the race should come
under the ban of human contempt"
This is in strange contrast with
clergyman of the same denomination
who writes: There are thousands of
Jews who become estranged from their
faith because of the new system. In
the free synagogue there will be no
pews and no assessments. 1t will be
free in every sense of the term."-New

Old Indian ArmIats.

In a Jewelry store at Eufaula, I. T.,
there were recently exhibited two arm
lets made of metal and of the pattern
worn extensively by the Indians a cen
fury ago. The armlets were found in
an old Indian burying ground on the
banks of a creek twenty-five miles
west of Eufaula. Evidently they had
clasped the arms of some Indian brave
who had been buried there. and the
sands had drifted away, leaving the
armlets exposed long after the remains
of the Indian had passed to dust. The
armlets are of the pattern that were
annually given to the Indians by the
government in the early days. Each
of the armlets found bears the emblem
of the government, and there are in
the shield fifteen stars. indicating that
at the time they were made there were
fifteen states in the Union.-Jewelers

enough alone, what ribbon is used
as a garniture is fashioned after
the flowers, so that it is quite diff

suits.
For the last feo years there has
oeen a yearning for picturesque eff
fects, either because of the lethargy
of the creative talent or because OF
the romantic revolt against the
practically of tn twentieth cen

The fashions of the Louis periods
and those of the Directory and I'm

for designs, while suggestions have
oeen furnished by the whole range
of historical costumes. and the pic
lures of the old masters a, utilized
as fashion plates.
The French tailored suits. or. as
they are frequently called, demi-
tailored, or afternoon. suits, are
very diversified in style. and, though
many of the latest notions may be
rather too revolutionary to appeal
to the conservative dresser, they
will undoubtedly affect very consld-
erably the trend of the modes. and
already notifications of the radical
ideas are appearing in the more
practical suits for street wear.
The cutaway lines of tn rather
long coat skirt are more accentuated
in some model coats than in others,
and the sleeves vary. though in all
of the latter one finds clever adap
tation of the kimono idea.
Most of these new models are
shown on the new figure, fiat of

and shiny long. though many wom-

look alto gether charming in these
new designs.

girdle height, fitting snugly around
the hips and waist. and. falling from
there in clinging folds, drops
straight to the ground at the sides
and back. but is caught up slightly
in front by several little horizontal
folds. which prevent the too definite
defining of the abdomen curve and
add surprisingly to the grace of the
skirt.
There is absolutely no fare to the
skirt, which is very long all the way
around; and the drop skirt is closely
fitted and of thin. soft satin.
These skirts are drawn in at the
back by two elastics placed about

is impractical for any save car

FASHION continues to accent
the slim-waisted, full-bust and
slender-hip figure, SO the lingerie
tendency Is toward garments cut
SO as to eliminate every possible
fitness around the waist and hips.
1t is for this reason that soft, sheer
materials, such as nainsook, ba-
tiste and crystalline are more and
more favorably regarded in the bet
ter-priced garments.
For women who are inclined to
stourness the combination garment
is great assistant in preserving
the youthful outlines.
The favorite combination gar
ment is the corset cover and short
skirt; then the corset cover and
drawers. and then the corset cover
and long skirt.
Flat effects for ornamentation are
the most desirable. They consist of
embroidery and lace used in me-
dallions, in beading and in inser-
ton. The wide embroidered Aounce

favored style for white petticoats.
