MSS Ass Pastor, Stokes said, had gone
back to her trade as eigarmaker. She
did this in order that she might get in
touch with the people and have the
same environment as when she first
took up the work of looking after the
poor. She wanted the old associations
and thoughts that meantaso much to her
when she was struggling for her own
living.
I'VE have not made our plans for
next year. said Stokes, We expect,
however, to live In q tenement down
here on the lower East side
Stokes said there was no opposition
to his marriage on the part of his fam
lily. and denied that radical differences
on religion formed a barrier.
Miss Pastor is a Jew he said, .'in
the same sense as the apostles and Jesus
were Jews. She and are both proud
of our common lineage. We are both
proud of the Jewish race and its ira
ditions. We both believe that Judaism
while true so far as it goes, does not ex-
press SO much real truth as Christianity
does. Our attitude toward Judaism
and Christianity is identical We both
consider ourselves Christians. She is
of Jewish ancestry and am not. That
is the only difference. 2
Stokes said that five or six years ago
when Miss Pastor was living in GIeve-
land trying to support a family Of seven
on her scant earnings as cigarmaker
there often came times when there was
no money for food or light. Under
such circumstances, he said. Miss Pas
tor bore up brave1y. On one occasion, he
said, on Thanksgiving day. there was
nothing in the larder, yet Miss Pastor
wrote a poem which she called "A
Thanksgiving.
Miss Pastor is rs years old. She was
born in Russia, but left that country for
London in 1882. For few years she at
tended Jewish free school in that
CITY. The family emigrated to Cleve-
land in 1891, and at IL years old the
girl obtained employment in d cigar
factory. She then began to writs,
stories and poems Her work attracted
the attention of Jewish newspaper Of
fees in this city, and she was invited
to come here.

New York. - A romance growing
cut of university settlement work
among East side tenements was re-
Fealed recently when announcement
was made Of tha engagement Of J. G..
Phelps Stokes, millionaire and philan-
thropist, son of Arson Phelps Stokes.
TO Miss Harriet Pastor The bride is a
cigarmaller by trade. The wedding will
take place the latter part of July.
Miss Pastor came here from Cleve-
land about two years ago to become d
reporter on the staff OF the Jewish Daily
News She met Stokes by being sent
to interview Elm on some phases of set
tle.aent work. Miss Pastor then began
to DO voluntary work IN connection with
left the newspaper and since has de-
voted her time entirely to settlement
work.
When rumors of the engagement first
became current Stokes made a denial
Later he explained that he made the
denial because TO acknowledge his ZEN
gagement'' would have belittled his re-
lations with Miss Pastor. He denied
the engagement, he explained, because
he did not consider their relations
should be described by that word. They
SO long have considered themselves
one In spirit and purpose that an en-
gagement in the common usage Of the
word was necessary.

tT presume we could be called engaged.
We do not consider it in that light. We
have considered that we are one, mar
ried in works and thoughts. We regard
ed ourselves as wholly one We never
mentioned such a thing as an engage
