 Q. Is Judaism committed to any social or economic creed?
 A. Rabbi Jacob Tarshish has written that Judaism has no definite involvement in any specific political, social or economic creed or school of philosophy. The Jewish faith has always been flexible, adjusting its teachings and practices to the conditions under which the Jewish people found themselves. It is primarily a religious attitude, a manner of living guided by a certain under standing of a mans relation to God and to his fellow man."

 Couples Here
Here comes the bride.


 Waterbury had almost twice as many June brides this year as last, figures at the office of Town Clerk Mary c. Kilmartin showed today. In the month ending yesterday, there were 102 couples who filed marriage intentions, as compared with 53 couples in June of 1888.
 Many more couples are being married this year than last. Through the first six months of 1889, there were 348 sets of marriage intentions filed. Last year at this time, the total was 245.
 June had far more marriage intentions than any previous month of the year, and account ed for almost One- third of all the intentions filed during the first six months. Whatever the cause, many more Waterbury couples are altar bound this year than in 1888. And next year is Leap Year.

The Cunard Line which became the Cunard White Star Line few years ago will celebrate birthday July the Fourth. On that day in the year 1840 the first steamship of that line sailed from Liverpool to Canada The line named for Samuel Cunard, born in Halifax in 1787, and he one of the pioneers of steamship navigation. Steamship liners have changed since those days No doubt the first boat travelling across the ocean by its steam seemed like luxury and com paratvey comfortable compared to the early sailing vessels. But what difference, say, between the Br- tanna the first Cunard liner to the Queen Mary of twelve decks and the Queen Elizabeth to be launched next year and to have fourteen decks It is true the finest and big ges liners ride the bumps in nasty weather but not In the manner the first steamship rolled and tossed The Cunard Line begins its hundredh year dreaming ef still bigger and better boats.

c. In Protestant teaching is a miracle necessarily a breach of the laws of nature?
 A. No. According to the Report of the Commission on Christian Doctrines appointed by the Arch bishop of Canterbury and York, "an event is rightly called a miracle in so far as it is a work of Gods power and holiness, and cannot be co-ordinated with the general scheme of the universe by means of the ordinary cate- gories of science alone or even of those ordinarily required for the interpretation of human action. It is therefore nothing irrational or capricious since it expresses the purpose of God, which also determines the order of nature"

 Lady Lindsay is immensely fond of motoring. She drives her own motor car except on long trips, when she and her chauffeur spell each other at the wheel.
 When Sir Ronald was appointed ambassador to the United States and Lady Lindsay applied for a District of Columbia drivers li- cense, she told the officer that she had driven a motor longer than anyone in the United States. He contradicted her with the informa- tion that Elizabeth Hoyt" had that distinction. He didn't know she was Elizabeth Hoyt.
 She began driving when she was nine years old. Her father, Col gate Hoyt, let his daughter chauf- feur him to and from the com- muters' train on Long Island. HAS AMERICAN ! LOVE OF SPEED
 She likes to set private records for speed and break them. When she goes south to Charleston in the spring, Lady Lindsay invariably de- cides to hurry along the first half of the homeward journey and then slow down when the scenery be- comes interesting. But arrived at the halfway mark in fraction less time than she had taken on the last trip, she cannot resist try ing to break her own record. She is proudest of the time she made the 550-mile run in eleven hours from door to door.
