Cupid vs.. the Marriage Broker

"The day Of the 'schatchen, the mar
riage broker, is about over in the New
York Ghetto said worker Of the edu-
cational alliance recently. "Thls pic
turesque, interesting and at times very
useful parsonage will soon be altogether
thing Of the past.
Increasing social intercourse, more
liberal modes of life, in fact the whole
spirit of America-oppose the persist
ance of such a type as the schatchen.
The occupation in which he glories is be-
matchmaker-this ancient, honorable
and curious character Of Jewry-views
with alarm the conditions Of this coun-
try.
81 have often heard some representa-
tive matchmaker speak with sarcasm and
bitterness of the independence and free
dom given to Jewish youths and maidens
here, and deplore the opportunities they
have to meet, make friends, associate
and mate, without the aid of their elders
and the schatchen.
"What with dance halls and clubs and
balls, picnics, theaters, meetings Of So
cieties of all kinds, and other social af
fairs, the schatchen is being rapidly put
out of business. When the disgruntled
dealer in marriage ties talks Of these
things he points to the results Of such
unrestricted intercourse to show the pen
atty for not employing the schatchen.
"These results include such things as
breach Of promise cases and divorce
suits. OF course, such evils, the schatch-
en- says, do not come about when the
matchmaker is employed to manage the
marriage market. 1t is useless to argue
with him and to attempt to point out
that such evils have been known to flour
ish even when the schachen was in his
prime.
"Hyman Levin, one Of the noted
schatchens of New York, can talk for
hours concerning the happy marriages
which he has brought about. He knows
all about his former clients, and at So
cial gathering have seen him 60 round
the room with some young man, pointing
out couples he has brought together.
''The schatchens take great interest
in all couples they have been instrument
al in joining. In a way, these couples
are more or less good advertisements for
him. The children of such families are
sources of pride to the schatchen. He
kisses them whenever he sees them. He
looks upon them with something Of pa
rental pride.
"And, if the young man hegfastens
upon at such social gathering shows
any signs of being impressed, the match

to pay at least bi-Inonthly visits.
AS a result of this agitation and the
new law passed, in modest little way
home has been started at No. 712 East
Sixth street to help solve the problem.
It is for the purpose Of housing tempo
rarily those immigrants who have no
friends, truly strangers; and in connec-
ton Herewith an employment agency
has been established to assist girls in
procuring positions in decent homes.
The upper floors are used for dor1ni-
tories, each tenant who can afford it pays
SO cents day for board and lodging.
During the last five months 165 girls
have found shelter in clean and neat sur
roundings. The work is carried on in
conjunction with agents at Ellis Island,
who until now were often at a loss where
to send the girls whom they considered
worthy of admission, physically and
mentally, but had no assured place
where they could be put under the pro-
per protection. The home has been
most welcome haven to many Of these
girls, who have expressed their grateful
ness to be so comfortably housed. A
few of them had just escaped the snares
of the willy tempter, and were glad to
feel that security which the home in
sures.
The employment bureau is doing it's
best to get suitable places for immigrant
girls and others. 1t is encountering in

Nothing human is foreign to us; the
