THE FEAST OF WEEKS.

HE FEAST Oh WEEKS.
On Friday, May 18th, the great
Jewish festival of Shabuoth, or
Feast of Weeks, will be observed in
all temples and synagogues through
out the world. The festival will be-
gin, in accordance with Jewish reli-
gious custom, at sunset on Thurs
day and will continue until sunset
Friday Orthodox Jews will like
wise observe the next day as a sup
Elementary festival. In Reform
temples children from thirteen to
sixteen years of age will be con-
frned with appropriate ceremonies
in the religion of their fathers.
According to Biblical injunction
this festival was observed in ancient
Palestine as one of the three great
harvest festivals. 1t was celebrated
on the fftieth day after the begin
ming of the Passover; hence it's
common name, Pentecost, i. e. in
Greek, the fftieth day. It marked
the close of the season of the grain
harvest. Upon this festival the first
sheaves of the various kinds of grain
grown in Palestine were offered as
thanksgiving sacrifices to the Lord.
On this festival, as on Passover and
Tabernacles, the people would pill
grim ito Jerusalem in vast numbers,
from all parts of Palestine, and even
from remote corners of the globe,
to participate in the joyous festal
worship at the great Temple. 1t has
been estimated that at times upward
of a million pilgrims assembled in
Jerusalem upon these occasions.
In post-Biblical times the festival
was celebrated also as the anniver-
sary of the giving of the Ten Com
mandments to Israel on Mt. Sinai
and the solemnization of the eternal
covenant between God and Israel,
as described in Exodus 10 and 20.
In commemoration of this event
Reform Judaism has fixed the con-
frmation of it's children upon this
day, that they, too, may enter into
solemn covenant with their God,
even as their fathers did over three
thousand years ago.

AL tuo COruor Cnoy Caught up WIFI
Frances and Sadie; the four walked
homeward discussing the play and the
graduating exercises until they reached
Betty's door. "See you tomorrow, girls"
Betty smiled and, taking her books from
Ida, ran up the stairs. Frances watched
her, tiny sheer twisting her lips.
''She's always willing to see people any
place but in her house," she observed as
they walked on. 'I guess, there's
good reason why she never invites her
friends to come and see her"
Ida flushed angrily. you're always
talking about somebody" she exclaimed.
81 suppose you think it's funny that Bet
ty didn't invite the club girls when her
turn came; but we've got bigger flat
and I was glad to have them instead;
besides her mother wasn't we'll. You
know, she isn't strong
"You believe everything she tells you,
don't your" Frances asked with dis
agreeable little laugh "Her mothers not
sick; my aunt knows her and meets her
in the market almost every day. But
whenever Betty thinks people expect her
to bring her mother around, she makes
the same old excuse. And once when
Sadie and I went up to see Betty, she
kept us in the parlor with the door closed
and never asked her mother to come in.
Remember, Sadie?"
eyes," Sadie answered slowly. 81
don't like to talk about Betty-she's so
sweet and everything, but it does look
as though she were ashamed of her
mother I didn't ask her about it, but
I'm sure her mother isn't coming to the
Sh'vuos play tomorrow. I know she
didn't come to our entertainment on
Chanukah or Purim although Betty had
the leading part and most of the moth
ers came"
81 think you girls are just horrid,"
cried Betty's loyal chum. why Betty
is as fond of her mother as she can BEL"
But why doesn't she take her out the
way we do our mothers?" insisted
Frances. "Why was she ashamed to let
her in the room when we went to see
her; why doesn't she bring her to the
school entertainments"
II don't know why Betty's mother
didn't come to the Purim entertainment"
answered Ida very calmly. "But 1 do
know she's coming to the play tomorrow
and think you two ought to be ashamed
of yourselves for talking about Betty"
She had reached her own door now and
turned to fling over her shoulder: "And
if I was jealous of the prettiest and
smartest girl in New York, I wouldn't
show it by making up stories about her,
anyhow"
Ida had spoken confidently enough, but
secretly she was worried 1t was hard to
believe that her adored Betty actually
sighted and neglected her widowed
mother; yet Ida had to confess to her
self that her chum had always man.
aged to keep her out of the way when
ever company came. She had thought it
strange at the time that Bettys mother
had not attended the school entertain

Betty's prize books on the table, Betty's
fancy work and burnt wood on the man
tel piece the pictures on the wall show
ing Betty in almost every stage from
baby in long clothes to dimpled Queen
Esther in the last Purim play For the
first time Ida wondered why there were
no pictures of Bettys mother or her dead
father.
"Bettykins," she began abruptly, "is
your mother coming to the play tomor-
row."
Betty colored little. 81 don't believe
she'll want to-" she answered. Mother
doesn't go out much"
'"Then it's about time she did," Ida
told her bluntly. Faltering little, for it
was hard to hurt her friend she repeated
Frances accusations "She's always say
ing mean things and I pretended not to
believe her; but it was true, wasn't it?"
she demanded.
Betty found that she could not meet
her chums eyes. It seemed so strange
to have Ida doubt and criticize her. 81
suppose Fanny was right" she hesitated.
Cali the girls at school have up-to-date
mothers. mean they're not like
mamma; she never dresses up and she
speaks a poor English and
"And you're ashamed of her." finished
Ida accusingly cts your own fault if
she isn't like other mothers; I suppose
she's so busy making you the best
dressed girl in school that she doesn't
sew for herself; and how can you ex-
pect her to speak good English if she
never gets chance to meet people. If
I had a mother" and her voice broke
little as she thought of her own mother
who had died several years before, "Pd
take her around and want to show her
off. And I should think you'd be
ashamed of yourself, saying all those
nice things to Naomi in the play and
promising to be good daughter to her,
when you're neglecting your own mother
until all the girls are talking about 1t"
"It's nobody's affair but mine, any
how" answered Betty sullenly.
cts mine: I told the girls your moth
er was coming tomorrow night and I'm
not going to tell lies for anybody, not
even you. I've always stood up for you
because thought you we're just perfect;
but you're not. You're selfish, hard
hearted girl and I don't want to be your
chum when I've got to feel ashamed OF
YOU" She rose and went to the door.
you'll look like picture in the first
act tomorrow when you promise to take
care of Naomi; and people who don't
know you will think you're just as sweet
and good in real life; but I'll know all
about you and so will the other girls
even if they don't come and tell you
what they think the way I did"
A timid voice sounded from the
kitchen, tired voice with strong
Yiddish accent: "Rebecca, can you come
a minute and see if you like the sleeves
in your graduation dress?"
