ISAIAH A SKILLFUL
SOCIETY REPORTER

CHICAGO, Feb. S.-Rabbi Emil
G. Hirsch of Sinai temple gave it
out from his pulpit as his opinion
that the prophet Isaiah, who lived
200 years before the Christian era,
was one of the best society report
ers that ever reported swell
function, and had he lived today
he could edit woman's page in
the highest style of the art.
He asked his hearers to read
the third chapter of Isaiah and
they would be convinced of the
truth of what he had said.
I'm this chapter" said he. you
will lfind a description of q lady's
toilet which for detail rivals the
most skillful society reporters in
formation about Mrs. Newly
feathered and Mrs. Newlywed.
The prophet describes infinitely
the minute details of the toilet OF
the woman of that age. And, from
what l know, do not believe that
in this regard women of today
have progressed much beyond
those of that time"
Here are extracts from the
chapter to which Rabbi Hirsch re-
lferred:

cause the daughters of Zion are

the matter of the recall of the
mayor. / think it will be admit
ted that the only people making
a demand for the recall of the

the mass meeting) were the sa-

wonder how many of them realize
that they are Joining the saloon
element in their demand for the
recall of the only mayor we have
had for the past twenty years who
dared to denounce the saloon and
defend the boys.
Although l did not vote for the
mayor, | honor him for the atti-
tude he has taken in advocating
the anti-treating ordinance.
The w. G. T. U. has always
been foremost in the advocacy of

the home, their principal work be-
ing against the saloon. Yet l find
some of the leading members of
that great organization joining
the procession of saloonists and

the recall of the mayor.
The better element of our peo-
pie have had no such opportunity
during the past twenty years of
striking a blow at the saloon.

Dear Sir: Recently we have

janitor goes into the car, sweeps
the floor, stirs up dust, and the
passengers must "all aboard" or

being made to ventilate the cars
before the passengers board the
train after the Cleaning.
| ride over this line every day
and have often observed that some
filthy member of the travelling
public has used the floor of the
car for a cuspidor.

to use this route to go back and
forth to their daily work. and /
maintain that the outrage of an
exhorbitant fare is more than
enough 10 endure without being
