in discreet touches here and there.
Formal evening gowns, for instance,
are kept for dinner of pretensions
and for the opera in New York! The
so-called theater gown, In which one
dimes or takes supper in restaurant
or private house, is an admirable
thing that should be kept forever in
the wardrobe for those who go out in
the evening.

the demand OF women who do not care
to be continually dressed in Il formal
fashion whenever they go forth for So

in common with that which goes to the
restaurant and the play dressed as it
has been throughout the day, for they
realize that the comfort of change

Petrograd, Russia.-Food Con-
troller Trotzky when interviewed by
a delegation of Rabbis, who inform
ed him that the Jewish Petrograd
had neither flour nor wine suitable
for use in their ceremonies, denied
them aid. They had expected his
intercession because he himself was
a Jew, his real name being Bron-
stein.
Trotzky received the delegation
co1d1y and declared: I am neither
Russian nor a Jew, but an interna
tionalist. I refuse to accommodate
you. No religion is entitled to spe-
cial privileges.

HONORED BY TWO NATIONS.

c.. Palmer. Palmer fell overheard

and was rescued by Goldman. On
Christmas Day he received promo
ton to assistant chief machinist's

Ambassador ana nigh AOlllHlloolOu-
er for Great Britain, of his adhesion
to the Zionist movement, which has
for it's purpose the establishment of
a Jewish State in Palestine, and the
anticipated arrival in that country
today of a Jewish governmental
commission to begin the first prac-
teal steps toward the realization of
that purpose, combine to make this
Passover, which begins at SHUTDOWN
tonight, the happiest event in Jew
ish history since the beginning Of
"the exile" 1000 years ago.
In his statement, which he gave
to Reuben Fink, well-known
Washington Zionist and newspaper
correspondent, with authorization
for it's publication through the
Provisional Zionist Committee, Am
bassador Reading not only pledges
his support to the movement, but
speaks in highest praise of the
"splendid energy of the American
Zionist" He has warm words OF
praise for the whole-hearted way in
which the Jews of America have
thrown themselves into the war, and
also for the Jewish units which
have organized here and abroad for
service in Palestine. It is his earn
est wish that these units strike
blow for the freedom of the world
in the land of his ancestors.
This is the statement authorized
by Ambassador Reading:
"You ask me for a message to
American Jewry especially regard
ing the Declaration of His Majesty's
Government in favor of the estab
lishment in Palestine of a National
Home for the Jewish People.
81 need not say that I warmly
support that Declaration in both my
public and private capacity. I have,
moreover, been profoundly i'm
pressed by the splendid energy of
the American Zionists and by the
whole hearted way in which, to no
small extent under their leadership,
the Jewish people of the United
States have thrown themselves into
the war. Though I feel that the
many thousands of Jews who have
enlisted individually in the armies

particularly interested in the Jewish
units which are being recruited on
both sides of the Atlantic 1t would
be magnificent if some Of them
could strike a blow for the freedom
of the world in the land of our an

"In the meantime | am glad to
think that Palestine is being reha-
bilitated, even while the war con-
tinues, largely by Jewish money and
Jewish energy and am respectfully
pleased to be in the country which
has provided SO large part Of that
money and no small amount of that
energy. My good wishes are with
the Zionists of the United States in
the great work that is before them
in giving effect to the Declaration
of the British Government and |
shall esteem anything that may be
called upon to do in connection with
that work as not the least important
or the least satisfactory part Of my
duties as British Ambassador in
Washington"
This is the day set for the arrival,
in the Holy Land, of the Administra-
tive Commission, which after hav-
ing been received in audience by
King George departed from London
en- March 9TH. 1t was organized by
the International Zionist Organiza-
ton following the declaration by
Great Britain, on November End,
that "His Majesty's Government
view with favor the establishment
of Palestine, as a National Home for
the Jewish people, and will use
their best endeavors to facilitate this
object" and the official approval,
last month, of this declaration by
France and Italy, and is fully sane
toned by the interested Powers.
1t will find country wrecked by
the war, which, at it's outbreak of
the war was blooming like the rose,
with over 50 prosperous Jewish agri-
cultural colonies, modern villages,
an educational system ranging from
the kindergarten to the high-school,
a banking system, and an ever-ex
banding commerce. Sir Mark
Sykes, British Under-Secretary for
Foreign Affairs, declared several
months ago that it is the mission of
Zionism to be a bridge between
Asia and Europe, to bring the
spirituality of Asia to Europe and
the vitality OF Europe to Asia.
