"modern," music. Interludes were provided by Mr. du Plessis and part- ner. During the evening a hamper of cordials donated by Mr. WillirJ Freedman was put up for American auction by Mr. Harry Immerman and realised £37 10s., the recipient of the hamper being :\fr.

Kowno Hebrew Friendly Society.
The festival of Succoth was cele- brated at the Zionist Hall, Capo Town, on Sunday, 20th October, by members of the Kowno Society. Ther<>
was a very large gathering present,
Langman, presided. '
After opening the function and wel- coming the guests, Rev. S. H. Michel- son delivered an inspiring and eloquent address on the fe tival of Succoth stressing its importance as a joyou~
festival and its application to the present time. The speaker comparetl the customs of the Succah throughout the centuries, lllustrating its meaning and object, and proved that the tem- porary structure of the Succah is typical of the Jewish life in almost every country of the world, and when- ever the Jew established himself in peace and in comfort he was given to understand that his home was a tem- porary one and, like the Succah, will have to be removed sooner or later.
Rev. :Michelson quoted e}.-tracts from an account of recent events and tragedies in the ghetto of Warsaw, and how the inhabitants there stood together till the end and, in spite of the fact that they knew of their fate, yet they showed a spirit of faith and courage. He concluded with the hop that in the years to come all the fes- tivals will be celebrated with joyous hearts and in the true Jewish spirit, that the establishment of a J ewis.ii National Homeland will be realised and that every human being will r - ceive justice.
antor A. Rudy delighted the guests with his beautiful singing of Jewish folk songs, which reC'eived much ap- plau. e. Miss Rae Kantor rendered some fine Hebrew songs, which were greatly enjoyed, and [r. . Lipshitz amused the guests with his humorous monologues. After refreshments were
, erved, an American Auction sale was
held, and the sum of £31 was realised towards the Relief Fund.

H. J,if on tha k •d all tl1e gu st for th >ir TH'(>, ence and support. The 'ice- 'hairman, Mr. N. Tobia , moved a volt of thank: to the Com mitt 'e and all thosP. who assiskd in rnahng th'
