Paris Take Care –The couturier Fashions from Israel presented by Hadassah Sept. 23 sent every woman in the audience home to build a bonfire of the contents of her closet. The gowns, products of the Alice L. Seligsberg School in Jerusalem, gave evidence that Israel will no doubt become a leading exporter of high fashion. Fabric, design and detail were all equally exquisite.
Unforgettable were “Grenadier” a red velvet sheath and jacket featuring front buttoning with pointed flap, bodice heavily embroidered in jet beads; a handsome hand-loomed vertical striped wool dress used the flattering draped cardigan neckline that should become universally popular.
“Queen Esther” was the name given a striking white short evening gown. The strapless sheath was appliquéd with pearls, rhinestones and gold beads from neckline to hemline; and accenting its femininity was the graceful attached stole.
The most spectacular outfit was a black velvet sheath worn with a jacket – but ah, what a jacket! It was straight, hip length . of soft-as0kitten’s ear lame, with overlay of appliquéd black velvet and embroidered with jewels.
Thirty-one designs were displayed, modeled by local club women, and including six designs for children.

As The Psychologist Sees You
Southwestern Jewish Press, October 1, 1954, Page 4
By Irving R. Stone, Psychological Consultant
Religion Knows No Vacation – Whenever anyone takes a trip there are pleasurable moments to look back upon. Some pertain to the places visited, others to the people one meets, and still others to unusual situations or events. My recent trip to Hawaii is no exception. But one of the things which stands out in my mind is, perhaps, different than most impressions.
On the aircraft carrier which took me to Hawaii, there were three thousand men. All were aboard for activities of a far from peaceful nature yet, when church call sounded, the number who responded to the religious services was astounding. From Friday evening, when the boys of the Jewish faith met to conduct services, to the four services on Sunday morning for those of the Protestant and Catholic faiths, one thought was in their minds—the need for spiritual uplifting.
None of these men were forced to attend services, none met to get out of some unpleasant chore, yet all appeared to gain by the experience. IT was like they had a great desire to participate in an undertaking for which they and they alone would benefit from something apart from military life.
On Friday evening, while in Honolulu, I went to the one Jewish house of worship, Temple Emanuel. Rabbi Siegel told me that his first pulpit was in San Diego, many years ago. I found that, truly religion knows no vacation for the small but crowded Temple was filled almost to overflowing by the many tourists who were in Hawaii for a rest and vacation but who felt the same need for religious participation as did the men on that large aircraft carrier. Again, there was no need to attend services because they were members of the congregation or because there was nothing better to do. They came because they wanted to, giving up one important evening in a short vacation period.
Why does religion know no vacation? Perhaps it is because there is a feeling of acceptance, a feeling of kinship, a feeling of humility, or a feeling of devotion, which only religious worship affords. Perhaps it makes people feel as though home is wherever they might be. Or perhaps they feel that only through some religious affiliation to they become a total in dividual.
One question I cannot answer is, “Why is it that the need for religion is neglected when one is in the familiar surroundings of one’s home environment, yet is recognized when one is in unfamiliar and distant places? “
