Don't Wear Gloves

nEAR MRS. BECKMAN:
~ am a constant reader of
YOUR very helpful column and
am coming to you for a little of
your good advice to those in
doubt. l am to be married very
soon in the presence of the i'm.
mediate families. / am not going
to be married in white. but shall
wear an afternoon dress and hat.
/ am in doubt as to whether I
should wear gloves with this out
fit. The wedding will be in the
morning. If gloves are neces-
sary, what kind?
DOUBTFUL.
W1TH this informal costume,
w / advice you not to wear
gloves. OF course you would
wear gloves to the church or TO
the clergyman's home, if you
are to be married there, but you
would not wear them during the
Ceremony. If you are to be
married in your own home. you
certainly would not wear gloves
with this attire.
nEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
- When the carving is done
at table, where are the fork and
knife placed? And where is the
gravy spoon placed? Y. P.
A GOOD rule to remember is
"A that, whenever possible, the
fork should be on the left. That
is, forks are placed on the left
of our place at meals, they are
placed on the left when we place
both a. fork and spoon for serv-
ing. say. vegetables. and the fork
of the serving set should also be
placed on the left of the hosts
place.
So. place the fork on the left of
the hosts place. the knife on the
right and the gravy spoon on the
right.

RABBI URGES
.MODERNIZATION
OF RELIGION
BY JONAH b WISE
rabbi Central Synagogue, New York
City, Son Of Founder of Reform
Judaism in America)

If religion is to mean what it
should to spiritual and intelligent
humanity it will have two very defi-
mite experiences. It will be divided
into even smaller groups of varying
opinions and it will more abruptly
change its established viewpoints as
times alter.
These two ideas come easily and
naturally as one studies the expert
ences, of the Jews. Israel is the re-
ligion laboratory of the white race.
The Jews are divided into fragments
so small as hardly to be capable OF
being called sects. Israel is and al
ways has been banded in faction. !"
know a fool said it, but only a
fools phrases fit history.
Even the factions are subdivided
and every theory has it's partisans.
When the Jew rises to the cultural
and intellectual level of his history
such division will prove not only val
liable but indispensable to progress.

IN one groove. Israel has survived
because OF its sharp divisions and
consequent hardihood A uniform
dogmatic Judaism would soon kill the
Jews. The laboratory experience of
the Jew applies also to other faiths.
inspiration from religion comes IN
lts power SO to influence men as to
give them individuality and self con-
ciouSnesS.
Ihe second great necessity for re-
nglon is the power to change quickly
somehow one feels that quick changes
are impending for man spiritually as
they have come mechanically In
morals there will came new dis
pensatlon, possibly sooner than we ex-
pect. Is religion prepared to face
new facts? 1t seldom has been.
Ihe prophets tried to use it for new
thinking, but succeeded only for them
selves and a few disciples The at
tempt has always met with the same
results. We are suffering from too
rapid mechanical growth of the 10Th
century. We have accustomed our
selves to ideas in practical life which
would have frightened Napoleon.

wild country and finally arrived at
the place where seven cities existed,
but there were no streets of gold,
nor temples ornamented with prec-
ious stones. There were only Indians
living in grass huts.
The historian of Coronado's party
had told of the leaders disappoint-
ment and of his return to Mexico.
In recent decades archaeologists
have been seeking the site of the
seven cities. Many have believed the
stone pueblos of Arizona and New
Mexico were really the cities of Ci-
boIa, but from the fact that the party
found grass hutS and that the Qui-
vera Indians were the only people
living in the southwest in such homes,
Kansas historians have become con-
vinced the seven cities were located
near here. Coronado is known to have
come as far north as Kansas.
Early thtis spring, John Malone,
a farmer living west of Lyons, un-
covered with his ploy number OF

One phase of their undertaking is

Although they concede that victory
