Of the other sights of the venerable
free town, when suddenly we found
ourselves in the precincts of the old
Ghetto, says the Cornhill Magazine.
Pointing to small, unpretentlous-
looking house, with red" shield
(Roth Schi'd) over the narrow en-
trance, Herr Won Bismarck said:
That's the cradle of millions, the
house and shop of old Rothschild. the
famous father of the not less famous
Baron J3cies-the Parn, as Parisians
liked 20 call him, on account OF his
pronounced German accent. "Well, the

old lady. though inhabiting one or

Social Corvcutsors and DISTINCTION Are
Disr- ga .Ged In This Home of Culture
No straws Of circumstance indicate
more truly tie radical sincerity Of the
Hull House settlements views upon
social democracy than does the fact
that the ring of the door bell is quite
as likely to be answered by universe
ty professor, writer or lecturer
whose name is known to the scholars
Of the English-speaking world as by a
pe:sGr in hNmbler position. The duty
Of attendance upon the door is admin
isteTsi with disregard of social con-
ven .lul.slity which affords an eloquent
in:ro'.l;ction to the democratic spirit of
the pace. The fact that the stranger
stands equal chance of being admitted
by Miss Adams in person, or by a
"neighbor girl"' who happens to be
within sound of the bell indicates both
tn. scope Of the hospitality which
ctaracterizes Hull House and the COM
pleteness with which social distinc-
tons have been obliterated in this
famous home of culture and democra-
cy. 1t matters not into which room
the visitor is first ushered, the initial
IMPRESSION of the place is generally a
ref cgnition Of the good pictures with
which che walls are everywhere hung.
These are palpably part of the estab-
lishmeE:. Without them Hull House
would be less than itself, and there is
not painting, drawing, photograph or
print in those rooms which are open
to guests that is not significant Of some
phase Of the settlements life. Each
has been tlaoughtfully chosen because
of special clements of f1tness.-Forrest
