MISS MARION MITCHELL.

Aii Extraordinary Mistake,

United Frees Association—By Electric Telegraph.

Wellington, January 19 An application to the Auckland Jewish congregation to admit Miss Mas ion.Mitchell as ik proselyte, m view of her marriage, wa« remitted to the Wellington rabbi, the Rev. H. Vsn Staveren. He says that he adhere! strictly to the c venant mado with Crom well, when he readmitted the Jewe to Eng land, that they were not to make proselytes. In any ease the Jews are not a proselytising race and always discourage tbe idea. The application would he refused. Auckland, January 19 Enquiries having bev3» made m reference to the Weiiingbn Press telegram which refers to Miss Marion Mitchell's intended marriage to a member of the Jewish com' munity m this city, it is stated that all »p. plications for admission to the Hebrew faith mast eventually go to tbe Jewish head qnartere m London, to bhe Chief Rabbi, Dr. Idler. The proceedings m New Zealand ace simply preliminary. The caae » thui; —Miw Marlon Mitchell (who U well knowo throughout the colony tm ,* leading member of Pollard's Oper* Company), belag desirom of embracing the Jewish faith m order to many, application waa made on her behalf with that object to the Auckland Hebrew congregation. The congregation referred the metier to the Wellington Rabbi for hit opinion, Miss Mitchell's place of residence being m the Wellington district. IheWe . lington Rabbi has come to the conclusion that the application should be refused, but the case does nob end there. In New Zea land Jewish people are Bofc allowed to proselytise. In the case of Miss Marion Mitchel! s it is expected the Auckland con gregation will send the application to the Melbourne " Betn Din " for the decision 'of that body. The Secretary of the Jewish Synagogue states with reference to the Press ■as-soebtioa telegram from Wellington, that no applica tion was made to Wellington by thu Auck land Hebrew congregation, and Miss Mariou Mitchell states that no such application was made by her or by any person on her behalf, and that she ia quifca at a loss to understand the remarks m the telegram purporting to have been made by the Rabbi, Mr Van Staveren. She intends to sift the matter further to ascertain the source from whence the statement emanated.

Is Bbitish Sport Dvisg Out? has often been a question for discussion, and it is very satisfactory to know that a negative answer can be given. The physical condition of Englisnmen has improved during the past half century, and the cause of this satis factory change is attributed to the better style of Jiving which has been adopted by all clasßes. Men are more temperate, both in^ eating and drinking, and, above all, the* system is kept m tone and blood purified by medicines of sterling worth, such as Hollo way's Pills and Ointment. Tha ? taste for sport will never die while people 'use these remedies, which will cute or relieve any com plaint, and give strength ia pUce of weak ness.

I BEAUTIFUL MISS AItHIIHLK, (Conti uid), lonely strip of coast?" was the mournful oomment, "Bless me, man, how else cam© the railroad and telegraph, and the villas, and the lawns and—Lucille Eliot and her friend!" "Yes, I might have known." "But it is good society. Comfort your self with that. Miss Eliot is beautiful, rich, rather serious m style. And her friend, Hope Annadale"-— "Does language fail to describe her?" asked Forsyth with quiet irony as Craig paused abruptly m his description. "Yes, it does—that is, any language I can command. She is very f ascinat tog.» "Ah, so? Alan Craig's hour has struck then?" "You and I won't joke on the subject, Victor. I—l—don't think I've a ghost of a chance with-Miss Amiadale. Every | man at the beach is more or less m love with her." ' "And she?" "Wait until you see her. She is to dine with us this evening." "A formal dinner?" sighed Forsyth. "Got up m your honor, my philos opher. But here is Craig cottage," turning toward the spacious Queen Anne villa that stood m dull red outlines against the gray sky, with clumps of blue hydrangeas massed m the center of the smooth green lawn. "It is scarcely five o'clock," he added, "and I propose to smuggle you into your quarters and leave you alone until seven." "Thanks," said Forsyth, adding. "I little knew into what a vortex I waa plunging. It is fortunate that I have a dress suit." "The 'vortex' will do you good," was the reply. "In a month those two sig nificant lines between your eyebrows will have disappeared. No, no, Victor; it is too soon for us to begin to grow old." Forsyth found himself established m a chamber overlooking the sea, with dressing room attached. His cases had been opened and toilet articles arranged, his steamer trunk unpacked, the con tents placed m the wardrobe with sooth ing dexterity by an accomplished valet, and an hour remained to him before he must dress. He had not taken this wearisome jour ney for the sake of studying dinner cards and doing the agreeable to his next neigh bor. He felt bored m advance, and spent the time wondering how he could con trive to cut short his visit. And as he sat by the open window listening to the beat of the waves against the rocks he could hear from time to time m the in tervening silence the thud of a tennis racket, a succession of rapid soprano ex clamations and baritone protests, and finally the laughter of the chorus. "For heaven's sake," he muttered, "is this same sort of thing going on still? Has Alan kept at it steadily for the three past, years?" By and by silence fell. The tennis players had dispersed. It was half an hour before dinner. Promptly at seven Craig tapped at his friend's door, and they went together through the winding corridors, down the broad stairs. The fading stimmer daylight mingled with the soft glow of Shaded lamps, and the damp salt air made the scent of burning pine knots grateful. "What are you going to do with me?" Forsyth asked. "You will see. My sister is only waiting our appearance to give the sig nal for dinner." Mrs. Macy, a handsome blond, like her brother Alan, held out a cordial hand sparkling with costly rings. "Welcome home and to Craig cot tage, Mr. Forsyth." "How do? I shall examine you later," from Clare Craig, extending one finger tip as she glanced with big black eyes over her bare shoulders and returned to her companion's story. "Miss Eliot, permit me—Mr. Forsyth." - Forsyth found himself bowing silently for the third time, with the oppressive sense of the necessity of pulling himself together and doing the agreeable. Miss Eliot ceased moving her fan. She wore a contented smile, as though life on the whole was a very pleasant af fair, while m her large blue eyes was a latent wonder as to whether there might not be m existence some possibili ties not compassed by dinners and drives and sails and calls. The dinner signal was given, and For- j syth and Miss Eliot were drifting to their places among the sixteen others who assembled around the table with the centerpiece of ferns, the branching silver candlesticks, the thin stemmed glasses, and over all the becoming rose colored light. Of course, as the soup m the royal Worcester plates and the ices m the cut glass cups came and went, they talked about Indian Beach, and then about Berlin, about undertows and thronerooms, all m the subdued, way of people who are bound to keep up this sort of thing, as the resigned dog keeps up the tread upon the platform which is attached to the churn. Suddenly—Forsyth had really become a little interested m his conversation, Miss Eliot was so calm, so unaffected, so intelligent — suddenly, therefore, warming somewhat m his own talk, he sat upright and glanced, as he was speaking, down the table. Craig sat at the end, and on his left was a lady upon whom Victor Forsyth's intense eyes I rested for a moment—just a moment, ! from which his whole after life bore the ! impression, as flesh bears a scar. The Jady was leaning forward speaking to conic one opposite. Being on the same side with Forsyth, it was her side face l that he saw. She had the low Greek brow, but no straight Greek line from eyes to chin had ever the seduction that j i lurked m this slight inward curving profile, the delicate, spirited nostrils, the v babyish mouth, the protruding chin, the swelling throat, the bare shoulders. Her dress was of the simplest—soft creamy silk gathered about her form as if to merely drape it. She wore jx® jewels or ornaments; her dark brown hair was twisted to conform to the shape of her head, afringy ring or two straying upon her forehead, curling against the white nape of her neck.
