Jewish New Year

Tomorrow at sundown the Jews of Prescott will celebrate the Jewish New Year Of their calen- der Ceremonies in honor of the event will end at sundown Thurs day for the Jews belonging to the reformed branch of the faith. The orthodox Jews will continue the celebration for another day.
 There is little real difference be- tween thhe reformed and the or thodox Jews, a matter of custom being the principal thing. Many centuries ago when the Jews were living in Palestine and pilgrimages were made to Jerusalem it some times happened that caravans from different points did not ar rive in time to take part in the festival the first day. In order that they might take part n the ceremonies the high priests held religious services on the following day. Tn this way the custom of setting aside two days for the new year wass started.
 The most sacred day of all in the Jewish calendar, the day of Atonement, begins at sundown Sept. 24, and lasts until sundow the following day.

Nevertheless. Lady Carlyon. when she

had always supposed every gentleman
in Kentucky to be the equal of the

she became to him Lady Lucy" In

Sir Percy said nothing, but his kiss

and the Canyons had never met, and
that was Alicia March. Nor were ,he
Canyons the only persons who avoided
her. but OF this her husband remained
entirely ignorant.
The stories of Senator March's wealth
made a sensation in the sphere OF Gen.
eral Talbott's and Mrs. March's ac-
quaintances. Mrs. March herself gave
evidence of 1t in the splendour OF her

"What?" they demanded b~reathlessly.
YOUTH I said, and saw the
startled delight in their eyes. Then I
made them count the things that even
the right might envy them. There was
good appetite-which Is 1onged for by
the rpagnate who dimes on milk and
toast for his digestion's sake, and who
cannot. V on Thanksgiving, touch

There were their dreams, their
girlisli, tender dreams. which no one
could take from them. There was
work and the strength to do 1t.
Remember this, my girls. all OF you,
that the women whose jewels you envy.
whose automobiles you craze, would
give all of their possessions for the
freshness of your point of view, for
the pink on your cheeks ant the
brightness Of your eyes, for the UNI
spoiled natures that makes love come
to you easily, for the purity which
money cannot buy.
Are not these things to be thankful
for? And shouldn't we be thankful,
too, for the great nation OF which we
are a part, for he freedom which. as
women we enjoy, for the reeogni ION
