continued until 1t was interrupted by more in
tcresting talk between two Jewish women. The
scene was the broad porch OF the little box
like hotel. The low shiver OF the wind at the
very tops OF the trees and the slightly louder
whirring of the seventeen- year locusts In the
forest beyond the shining. hot. white road

house. On the porch were groups OF women

Others sat out OF the general sight and hear

talk was about the Jews. and 1t was carried on
in low tones. for n third Of those who were on
the porch were OF that forceful race.
Il wonder why the Jews como to our re-
sorts ?" said ono
For the same reason that We do said the
other They could not very well have Jewish
Americans herd apart from the rest. The
Germans and Irish and Swedes do as the jews
do. but we do not notice them"
II do not agree with you." eafd the first
speaker. The other peoples or whom you
speak marry among us, share our religious be-

with all our interests and aims. This Is not
the case with the Jews. They are always for

This man spoke from q mind as narrow as IL
he imagined that the very woods and the air
were Christian. and as IL Christianity were in
the Constitution.
You won't think me personal" said the
second speaker. IF say that / think your
sentiments reflect the spirit Of the Jew-bait-
ing peoples of Europe and them I have al
ways believed to be actuated mainly by envy.
For centuries they separated the Jew from the
SOIL and made him turn his brilliant abilities
all in the direction Of money lending and
trade. He naturally became rich and power
full. and so inspired envy. l think that it is We
who envy the Jews"
"Pshaw!" exclaimed the other: 1t was only
the other day on this very porch that l heard
q jew telling his wife about a young girl rela-
tive OF theirs who had been to a famous hotel
where Jews are not admitted. Said he:
She stayed only one night and next morn
