schools have in moments Of great excite
ment. You can't depend upon them at
all. The fact that Morris is very fat. wears
a polka dotted scarf OF heliotrope and is
morbidly conscious Of the presence OF
visitors in the school room may have some
thi,g to do with this temporary paralysis
OF mis- vocal cords. Morris has been king

Of his past glory still adheres.

When he emerges from the cavernous depths
Of his desk he holds paper cap Of tricolor
which he puts on abashedly. Isadore whis-
pers king excitedly after his wiggly
fingers have been answered, and David
4 does not deny the soft impeachment.
Then more wiggly fingers, and after a
consultation It is announced that as the
visitors are 30 interested the children may
practise a few of the May steps. A sudden
rising is the response to this and in and out
of the aisles. across. through and by. sing
ing to Isadore's burst of melody, the vari-
GUS steps are practised.
One OF the favorite gestures consists in
holding the elbow of one arm in the hand OF
the other and wiggling the forefinger at the
vis-A-vis. Martha Frankau, who wears two
rings on her first finger. is particularly
happy in this. A small girl stands aside in
a very lugubrious attitude. 1t is explained
that her father has just died, and according
to Ghetto etiquette she cannot dance for
two weeks,
1t Is time now for the drawing classes.
The teacher explains that tho May parties
are one occasion in the lives Of children
in the Ghetto when the material influence
of their daily existence is shaken of :,

says, Il found to my surprise that they

o',sessed with realities and never displaying
any intercst in the ideal,
when the May parties are in vogue
they will often bring back pressed flowers;
they will tell me OF the birds and the sheep
and the animals, and they display great
deal of interest in the masquerading fairies,
angels, queens and kings. an interest which
for a moment almost makes you hope
that it will last longer than the month Of
May. even though it is rather subversive
to lessons and to discipline.

One moment she would look down into a
mighty hollow of the sea. the next wall
of water would hit with a giant slap that
shook the ship through and through. At
times It seemed as 10 the stern half Of the
boat was entirely out Of water Margaret
wondered why the backbone Of the vessel
didn't break.
The course from Boston to Yarmouth
leads diagonally across the line of the
oceans swell. When the sea is angry
1t seems to vent it's wrath most violently
here. where the high shores Of Massachu-
setts and Maine turn 1t aside and add to
the volume Of water that sweeps up the
Bay OF Fundy. SO on this day the Var
mouth boat was getting hard buffeting.
Margaret Cameron at last was alone on
deck. She had enjoyed the spectacle at
first, but it got monotonous. Further
more II was no easy job to keep her feet.
SO when the vessel got an extra heavy
slap and she was thrown so violently against
the stanchion she had hold OF that the
buttons on her coat were broken she de-
cided that II would be wiser TO 60 to her
stateroom. As she made her way care
fully through the saloon. keeping firm hold
of all available supports, shs wondered
who her stateroom companion was. She
wished she had made arrangements with
some one she knew, but there had been
no time after she found she could get leave
Of absence.
She got to her room at last and opened
the door She saw beside her suit case on
the floor big old fashioned satchel It
looked familiar She looked around for
the owner and saw that the nun who had
boarded the vessel last was In the upper
berth. fully clothed and facing the back
Of the berth.
Margaret supposed her black robed
companion was not well and her profess
sional instincts were aroused.
-Can do anything for you" she asked.
There Was no answer.

Their Account Of Thetr May Partles.i
May parties are ns muci, part OF the life.
Of the East Side as are the pushoarta and
pedlers. the wedding processions and the
Italian funerals. Early each Saturday the
children begin to foregather at sone agreed
upon place In squads Of fifty and more, each
squad with its queen or sCoily,r its king
and clown. policemen. nurses. Red Riding
Hoods and Cinderellas. This year Chinese
and Japanese have been added.
For days. even weeks In some cases. tho
housewives have, been busy getting ready

place before the final adjustment.
Visitors in Central Park are familiar with
the May party sights and rites. the games
and songs. the dances and the May pole
pageants. the queen with her train OF attend
ants and the king, who like the bridegroom
ate wedding gets only sort of second hand
attention. But the May parties are by no
means confined to Central Park. All the
smaller parks. even as far a. the Battery.
have their pilgrimages. ~
The May Queen is easily discernible, for
there is a something about royalty. even
last Side royalty. which cannot be hid or
mistaken for the proletariat. Casual on
lockers may imagine that tho East Side
queen is chosen for some special perfection
Of grace and charm of personality. orsthat
rare possession yclept beauty in the Ghetto
as it is on Murray Hill, and it Is rather q
shock to discover by means Of such author
tiles as Morris Moskovitz. Abe Slavinsky,
Joseph Samues and others enrolled in one
Of the public schools that such is not the
the actual fact at all.
When teacher, suspending for the mo-
ment the drawing class exercises, asks Of
The fifty goods sitting before her: @How do
you choose the May Queen, children?'
there is a moments tense silence then 100

The occupant Of the upper berth said
never q word. Margaret completed her
toilet IL wasn't any Of her business, she
supposed, whether her companion ate o.
not. But as she was leav ing the room she
tried again
Il say, it's dinner time, and If you want
any dinner you'd better hurry. They only
keep the dining saloon open until 7:3O o'clock
on these boats. Or won't you lot me bring
you something?"
This time she got an answer.
Il can't eat anything" said the nun.
"Thank you"
Margaret started. The voice was rough
and husky. She knew little about the SIS
byterian-but she had supposed their
voices were soft and musical.
The voice she heard might have been that
of a woman huokster. The scrubwomen
about the hospital had just such unlovely
voices.
But she didn't waste much time thinking
aboutit. The sea had given her an appetite
and she hurried in to dinner. The storm
had abated somewhat but she had the din
ing saloon pretty much to herself.
After dinner Margaret went on deck
Night and snow had shut in the ship com

and the fog born kept up constant raucous

When she got to her stateroom she found
that the door was bolted on the inside.
She shook 10 somewhat violently.
Wait five minutes, please" said the
husky voice she had heard before am

Come back In five minutes
When Margaret returned later the door
was unbolted Her companion was again
In the upper berth, face TO the wall.
Margaret noticed that the big satchel
had been opened. Scattered about the
floor were crumbs Of bread. So the nun
had been able to eat. Margaret wondered

THE NUN IN THE
| UPPER BERTH
A Record Of Happenings OCT Of the
Ordinary on the Boston
Yarmouth Boat.

The last passengers were hurrying aboard
the Yarmouth boat at Boston Long Wharf.
Margaret Cameron. standing by the rail
directly over the gangway. wondered where
they would all find room. The steamboat
was small and the human freight seemed
10 be sufficient for an ocean liner.
1t was the annual Christmas exodus to
Nova Scotia and the other maritime prov
inces Of Canada That part OF Boston
which didn't oome over in the Mayfower.
nj shortly aftsrward, is half Canadian any
way. To the Bluenoses, Prince Edward
islanders and habitauts Of New Brunswick
Boston is -the city, Thousands Of families
dwell partly In the provinces and partly In
Boston and places near by.
So when Christmas time comes there is
q great homeward rush Of expatriates.
Margaret Cameron was one OF these home
goers.
She was a nurse. Il is matter Of record
that Canadian girls do most OK the nursing
not only in the Boston hospitals but In the
hospitals Of other New England cities and
even In New York. It is a trade or profess
aion that comes easy to these Canadian
girls, most Of them farm bred and OF strong
physique.
Ii was early on lowering December
afternoon. There has d sEssoSsiSn 81 Snow
in the air and the wind was blowing gale.
Margaret Cameron supposed 1t would be a
rough trip. but that didn't worry her.
Her home was in Yarmouth and she had
known the sea intimately from her child
hood.
She was wrapped snugly in frs, with a
gray squirrel cap set firmly upon her wavy
light hair. The wind made her cheeks
rosy and her blue eyes surveyed the busy
scene on the wharf with interest
Once in u while q passenger hurrying
up the gangway. would catch Margaret's
eye and thers would be a quick smile Of
-reoognition. Acquaintances were being ~
