father appeared in the doorway and
said: Come, my child; have some

the adjoining room, where I was pre-

fringes of which my father had taken
great delight in tying in the traditional
knots and twists. AS he handed me
this -four corner" garment he said In
Hebrew: Wear 1t that ye may remem-
ber and do all my commandments and
be holy unto your God"
Then came the Seder-the ceremony
of the first evening Of passover. Our
dining-room was illuminated by scores
of candles stuck in antique chandeliers
hung from the ceiling. At the head OF
the table sat my father robed In q
white shroud- like garment, leaning on
his left arm and reading from q book.
An embroidered skull cap was tilted on
the back of his head, leaving bare his
high and broad, smooth forehead; and
his genial countenance was beaming
with good humor and happiness as he
glanced at his small family. AS now

to US, and learned from our servants
that he was living with the sledevatel
