She controlled her emotions on the

Avrum looked on, unable to fathom
the sudden change of heart. Per

her old wiles of winning back his
love- But he scorned her efforts. A
woman of her age attempting to
compete with-oh, we'll. Perhaps he

JEWISH CONFERENCE OF MINNIE
APOLIS.

The Rules of the Jewish Conference
of Minneapolis were adopted at the
meeting in January, which was attend
ed by delegates from the following or
ganizations: Associated Jewish Chart
ties; Bnai Birth, Talmud Torah;
South Side Talmud Torah; Kenneseth
Israel, Adath Yeshurum and Agudas
Achim Synagogues; Kol Jacob Mendel-
sohn, Lodges and the Ohavei Zion.
There were delegates present from
other organizations, but not duly &C
credited to the Conference. The con-
census of opinion was that although
there were not enough societies who
had thus far adopted the new Bylaws
(printed here) to justify the Kehillah
in claiming to represent all the jewish
organizations in the city, an effort
should be made to get all other organl-
cations to join the Conference. The
next meeting will be held on Monday
evening, March IL. Organizations that
have not yet joined are requested to
communicate with the secretary, Rabbi
