might have some trouble getting her to go. And she
woul probably suspect something, and that would
spoil everything"
II might leave my shawl here and then send him
after il" suggested Mrs. Michaelson, "and when he
comes you might invite him to stay a little while"
THAT might do said Mrs. Kantrowitz.
cor, Minnie might go home with me to get the
ivrideitch chomesch you lent me some time ago, and
then Lazer might come back with her"
"That's better. That would give them some time
together, and they would have an opportunity to
know each other better"
do you think Minnie will have any objections p
There are no objections in my house to what
say" Mrs. KantroWitz said, with emphasis.
Having come to an understanding, the two friends
spent the rest of the afternoon in easy and pleasant
conversation, every now and then recurring to the
plan they had just Matched, celebrating and working
out details, until they had every point covered.
Then Mrs. Michaelson arose to go. According to
the programme, Minnie was to accompany the old
lady to her home. Mrs. Kantrowitz opened the door
and called Minnie y at the top of her healthy lungs.
The call was repeated once or twice, and Mrs. Kan
trowitz was getting red in the face and losing her
temper, when little Rachel appeared on the scene.
Where's Minnie % demanded her mother, sternly.
"She's gone to the park with Lazer Michaelson.
They go there every Sunday, but they don't want
nobody to know was the unexpected answer.
Mrs. Kantrowitz was dumfounded. Mrs. Michael
son dropped into a chair.
You knew this all the time said Mrs. Kantro-
witt sternly 10 her guest.
Indeed, l didn't. BY my faith, l didn't"
"The chutzpe," Mrs. Kantrowitz went on, now
very angry. "A girl of nineteen going out with a
young man, without her mother knowing it. She is
too young for that sort of thing, and I'll put a stop
to it,"
81 didn't think ,Lazer would hide anything in the
world from me-
That's just the way the i%mpudent children do
nowadays. 1T makes me boiling mad to think of it,
and if you weren't such a good friend Of mine,
Mrs. Michaelson, and if we didn't know each others
family SO well, and if they weren'tso welmatched-'
why should we worry ourselves about this
too much - said Mrs. Michaelson, philosophically

your Minnie's wedding?"
"Why, Minnie is only a child-just nineteen. She
has plenty of time to become a kaa yet"
But she is such a nice girl, said Mrs. Michael
son, shaking her head slowly from side to side. ANY
man would be proud to marry her.
ooh, she's only an ordinary girl, l assure YOU.
She is a good housekeeper, l must say; but other
wise she is nothing unusual
"She is SO pretty"
"Only fair"
"And has such lady like WAYS"
She knows how to behave herself"
And she is a Jewish girl"
"She was brought up in a Jewish home" said
Mrs. k~antrowitz, with a toss of her head.
She would make such a sweet kaLa."
The child has never thought of such a thing.
Why, even | had not begun to think seriously of it.
She has plenty time yet"
That's what my Lazer says when / tell him he
ought to getmarried, and he is twenty -three already"
And Mrs. Michaelson heaved a sigh.
A light began to break upon Mrs. K%antrowitz.
Lazer was a good boy, and
Mrs. Michaelson broke in upon her train of
thought. She began rather nervously. "Of course,
| don't know, | only hope. Minnie is a nice girl. No
one can say an, thing against my Lazer. They are
both young. He is making twelve dollars a week
and has some money in bank. We know each other
tor a long time. We might bring them together. 1t
may be. Who knows?"
You are an older woman than l, Mrs. Michael
son, and know more about such matters. think it
would be a good match,'' continued Mrs. Kantro-
WITT, with some enthusiasm. Minnie is a fine girl,
pretty as a picture a mighty good girl, with such
nice ways. You can't find a better girl an, where,
even It | do say it myself. And then, as you say, we
know each others family for a long time. Every
thing IS satisfactory. But thereis one thing we must
guard against and Mrs. Kantrowitz drew her
chair near her visitor.
And what is that?
We must try t bring the children more often
together, SO that they may know each other better,
and then It won't beso unexpected when we tell them

We must try t F, bring the children more often
together, so that they may know each other better,
and then it won't be SO unexpected when we tell them
our plans. But we must be careful. These American
boys and girls hate the idea of a schatclen," said
Mrs. kantrowitz,b breaking into a hearty laugh.
But they need know nothing about our arrange
ments. We are wise enough, l hope, to keep our
plans from them"
How shall we begin % queried Mrs. Kantrowitz,
who fell in readily with her friends idea.
Il have thought of that answered Mrs. Michael
son. We might start next Saturday. You go to
scfule and take Minnie along, and | will pay a visit
to your schulz and bring Lazer with me. Then we'll
