Prussian court, with pleasure sought the
hospitable dwelling of Madame Levy,
and introduced therein the creme Of the
French soldiers who led the invasion of
Berlin The humane management of
Bignon was, evidently, the result Of bis
friendship to Madame Levy.
A large circle, composed of represen-
tatives from the best families, Of
scholars and artists, gathered in her
home unto her age, and to her death she
was proud of the$ fact that she was a
Jewess. With s3rrow she thought of
relatives estranged from the faith of her
fathers. Il appearito myself" she often
used to say, like q tree from which the
leaves have fallen; all the kindred who
surrounded me haYe, with their CONVEX
tion to Christianity, become strangers
to me in many respects" She loved her
people and was pleased with the intel
lectual advancement of her coreligion-
lists. She was filled with pride when,
rehearsing memories Of her youth, she
related that the ",Seder" was always
given in very imposing manner in the
house Of her parents, and that many
Jewish men of learning were always
guests at her fathers board
Sara Levy, whose pleasure was found
in benevolence, at her death willed the
very considerable sum of twenty thous-
and dollars to the Jewish orphan asy-
Iums of Berlin; her house that, during
her lifetime, she dld not wish to sell,
she presented to King Friedric William

An Autobiography of WafldefIng German

(C0nhnucd.)

For seven days we travelled day
and night without stopping either to eat
or drink, our only refreshments consist
ing in dry fig or an orange and a drop
of water which our captors thought it
their obligation to pass us from time to
time. We had not only to endure the
extremes OF hunger and thirst. but the
scorching heat OF the days and the yigor
Gus cold of the nights, as well as the cx-
haustion Of our physical force, added to
the sensation of poignant pains, threat
ened to deprive me of my senses. All
the terrors OF death are nothing when

wretcheduess. 70 be placed at the cx-

For the JEwISH ADVANCE.
Jewish Women
Translated from NJ. Kayscring by MIRIAM
DEL. BANCO,
(C0uHnued.)

When this society of nObleWomcn
laid the cornerstone Of the hospital at
Baden near Vienna, in 1911, in order to
promote the good and the useful, Mrs.
Won Arnstein contributed nearly 1000
forms that She had collected among her
sisters in faith simultaneously, her
sister Cecilia Won Eskclcs sent 1000
horins to the Convent Of the Elizabeth
ians, an institution which aimed to re,
lieve all the poor, without distinction of
creed.
Her hospitality was in most beautiful
concord with her beneyolence, This
lovabIc virtue she exercised to all extra
ordinary extent. Her house in the city
at the hohe Norht, her countryseat on
the road TO Schoenbrunn, her country
seat in Baden, all were arranged so as
to accommodate numerous guests, whole
families resided there with her. enjoy
ing the constant change Of animated So
ciety; friends and acquaintanccs were
daily welcomed and entertained.
The victories Of Prussia and Austria
in the wars of emancipation Of 1913 and
1914 filed her heart with rapture: with
regard to both fatherlands. that OF her
birth as we'll as that Of her ADOPTION
she could feel the same joy. Her char
ity was indefatigable and she gave CON
tributions Of all kinds for the wounded
aud other INDECENT persons.
The Vienna Congress which followed
the fall Of Napoleon, the winters Of 1914
and 1915. were to Mrs. Won Arnstein the
acme Of JOY and renown, the full bloom
Of her social esteem and activity. Beau
ty and amiabiiity were personifed in
her younger relations and friends who
had alreadyin earlier years appropriated
her home. Persons Of first rank and
highest distinction, men and women,
foreigners and natives gathered in her
parlors. There one might have seen
gathered on the same evening, the Duke
of Wellington, Cardinal Consalyi, the
Prince of Hardenberg, the Counts Of
Bemstorff and Pozzo di Borgo, the Bar

podistrias, of Minister and Of Neipperg
and many other like celebrities After
the second fall of Napoleon, Mrs. Won
Arnstcin decided upon a voyage on the
Rhine and thereafter a visit to Italy

and tenderness. 1t was easy for me to
see that he inwardly suffered, and that
he would have told ne the cause of his
torments if | had been able to under

grasping my hand the old man wept,

something to Allah. This unexpected

could offer the means to mitigate it. He
noticed my sympathy with him and
smiled, while shaking again his gray
head IN token of satisfaction. Hereupon,
he addressed another time a slave who,
henceforth, did not abandon me from
the morning till the evening, never
ceasing to talk of everything he saw.
This was, indeed, his duty imposed on
him by Ersini, who, in this manner,

1860. She was not'as animated as her
sister, but united the greatest degree of
refinement and the social tact of an aris-
tocratic hostess with the most good
naturcd kindness and benevolence.
Everything in her parlors We'd in spen-
dor and taste of arrangement as well as
in the elegance of their visitors and con-
versation, with those of the highest
circles Of Vienna. The most influential
diplomatists, the most noted authors,
Frenchmen Of education and position
were familiar visitors here. For each
one, it mattered not from which nation,
sect or station, she ever had a kind word
and sweet smile.
In the execution Of deeds of charity
Cecilia was faithfully supported by her
husband, Bernhard Won Eskeles, who,
besides his most vigilant and indefatig-
able attention to the political and COM
mercial world, preserved, at the same
time, a lively interest and fresh activity
for matters of higher spiritual nature.
His keen penetration and good judgment
were exhibited in trivial matters as we'll
as in important ones; wherever he gave
his assistance furtherancC or advice he
always did so with discretion, justice,
and, consequently, also generally with
success The poor and needy of all
classes suffering beneath the caprices of
power or their position in the common
wealth, artists, intellectual laborers or
people distinguished by any qualification
or ability whatever had decided claim
upon his sympathy and help, The
feeling OF charity that pcrmeated his
heart and the approval Of his conscience
lent to his grave countcnance look OF
joyous cheerfulness, that exercised it
self in wit and humor. Il love Eskeles
very much,' says Rachel at one time,
because his wisdom shines even upon
his face; he eats, he is silent, he laughs
in wise manner; he utters nothing but
independent thoughts, originalities.
Yes, in d certain way, he amuses me
more here than all other people, for he
has remained entirely oldfashioned in
his intellectual gifts and before him has
passed fruitful life which he has cul-
tivated in his own peculiar way and
disbursed therefrom nothing but orig
inalities, with the air OF an experienced
man Of the world,-experiencod in the
good sense Of the old testament" "
Mrs. Won Eskeles had two children, a
son and a daughter, who grew up under
her constant care and were reared in
such manner that they scarcely
dreamed of their Jewish origin, "a sore
grief to the father who, son of.thc eel
ebrated Nickolsburg rabbi and banker,
Gabriel EskcIcs, clung with his whole
heart and soul to Judaism. Before his
death, in August of 1899, he designated
sum Of some thousand forins for char
liable purposes. Cecilia Won Eskeles,
known as a noble woman, Well-Wisher
and bencfactress of makind, departed
this life April 9th, 1886. The Vienna
rabbi, Mannhcimer, preached her fun
eral sermon.

worthless things, formed the features of

buyers and sellers were negroes. The
