time as she should before mirror. Especially.
IL II Is a full length mirror Our experts admit.
however II often appears that women. especially
when attired in slacks have not spent sufficient
time In front OF rearview mirror. They say
that Is because so few houses and apartments are
equipped with rear.view mirrors. Furthermore.
our experts state many womer do not know how
to use a mirror. For example they buy clothes
and only look at the same In q full length mirror
while they are standing up. They should also give
careful consideration as TO how they look when

mudic writings have recognized
the distinct and inevitable posi-
ton that womanhood holds in the
welfare of civilization. In the
days of the Temple of old, wo-
men had their own court of pray
er in the Temple known as the
"Ezras Nashim." There they fol-
lowed their own mode of prayer
and ritual which was officiated
over by a woman.
Even as late as the middle ages
we find women's prayer meetings
led by their own female precen-
tiers, some of whom acquired con-
siderable reputation. It is not
strange then that traditional syna-
gogues have followed this wise
movement in establishing sepa-
rate seating arrangements for
men and women, even though
