ENGLISH BORN JEWS
GIVE UP THEIR Boards
Writer Comments on Crowd in
Synagogue

How many English born Jews now
adays wear beards?" asks a writer in
the Jewish World. 1t is a question
that forced itself on me as ] looked
round the crowded synagogue on the
first days of the passover. Statistics,
If it were possible to collect them.
would be interesting. but without col
lated figures, it is safe to say that the
beard is disappearing among Jews in
modern lands. 1 do not suppose that
shall be far wrong if l maintain that
the vast ajOrfty of Jews born in
England--say 80 per cent-do not wear
boards. A fair propOrtiOn-say so per
cent-sttlI favors the nfustache. More
boards are seen in the east end of Lon
don than in the west: fewer in Bir-
mingham than in Leeds or Manchester.

In view of the shortness of time

exchange pulpits with the pastor there.
He has been seen since. The same
dav Miss White packed two grips and
hired man to drive her to Tioga Gen.
