largest company OF Its Kind In this
country.
20 when ne n Miss Sadie fell In
love and became engaged there was
nothing 10 indicate they would no, he
the happicst young people In the world.
IN celebration OF the cement MIR.
Fishel rnve a dinner and dance at his
home. May IS last. and everybody who
~ anybody on the upper east side wa.
invited. Also there was a representative
Nnrs. = from tho lower cas, side. II
was intended to he n fathers fitting
tribute TO his devoted and engaged
Tho dinner. according to Mr.. Fishci's
own letter, he believed 10 be a very good
one. All the peorie who knew Miss
Fishei responded with a present, and
thev were several hundred OF them 20
delight the eye At the dinner. There
seemed TO be M doubt that Miss Fishei
and Mr.. Lewis were very lucky young
people.
Everything went on beautifully until
Jan. T. And hen the engagement VAS
broken. Why this happened 1. no part
OF this chronicle; II Ia sufficient that
Il was broken. And MIR. rlshci. so Mr..
Lewis uys. put a card" In the two
Hebrew papers stating tina the ~.
easement of his daughter to Mr.. Lewis
had been broken ana that she break.
Ing had been lone by the Fisncl family.
BUT WHAT 10 TO eecoME or
THE PREsENrsf
Now. what wa to become Of all the
presents which had been given 10 Miss
Fsheif There were many OF them. snA
they had good dollars. For days
the problem vexed tho Givers. They
liked Mies Ftshel--oh. yes. that's all
|right--but II she hadn't been engaged
to Mr.. Lewis the presents wouldn't have
been sent 10 her. And now. with the
engagement broken. there was no real
reason for her to have them at all. tier
very possession OF them MAS an anom-
ally. So wasn't the best way TO try 70
get the presents back? Some thought
60. at n rate. and Mr.. Kdnnsky WAS
ono of fhcn. How he Jared with his ~
quest has already been made clear.
Whether any OF the others were favored
by Mr.. Fishci has not boon discovered.
but the war Is going merrily On. Just
the same.
Mr.. Lewis was asked to-day why tho
engagement had been broken.
Social inequality" he said. II dis
covered a lot Of little things about the
family for which I didn't care. Now.
ivet look here; here's u man. Mr..
rshel. with lots Of money n lives
In a grand house with thirty-four
rooms. There arc lace curtains at
every window. It's a nne place 81 long
an YOU stay on the outside. Once you
get In by tho front door rs different
n gain. There aren't any footmen IN the
hall. there aren't any understanding.
Why. when I announced that I In
Tended to break the nga gement tho
Fishcls went right up In tho air. They
didn't like II one bit. And then Mr..
Fishel. or some one for him. put that
carl in tho Hebrew papers saying that
lie had broken the engagement"
ON account Of Mr.. Fishei's letter 20
Mr.. kidansky an inquiry vas made Of
Mr.. Lewis as TO the character of tho
dinner. two portions OF which were
worth more than Mr.. Kidansky's dozen
winegiasses.
AS I remember II. II was n pretty
xOod dinner" he replied. Nothing
very swell about II. but Il was good.
There were ten courses. I think. Under
stand me. I'm not knocking the dinner.
II was one Of those regular dinners"
