New York Dec. 1&-Solomon Rabino-
witz. the Yiddish Mark Twain, is back on
his beloved East Side. Whsn Samuel l..
Clemens met Rabinowitz he said: so you
are the Yidish Mark Twain l suppose
might be called the American SchOlem
AIeichem.' The latter is the pen name
OF RabinowitZ.
Scholem Aleichem mas not alone brought
peace. but mirth to troubled and sOmber
JeWry. II Is no small achievement to
have made a weeping people laugh again.
The arrival OF the gIeat humorist lends
additional Importance 10 New York as a
literary center. He will be wined and
dined by all OF the big literary men.
II you are tired of singing Sister
Susie's Sewing Shirts for Soldiers" You
may want to try the new song Broadway
Is singing. Here II Is:
Netty's knitting nick-nacks for the SOL
dierS.
Her nobby mack at knitting nets them
necktles by the score
Some natty soldier knockers would prefer
some knickerbOckers
To the knotty knitted neckties Netty
knits for necks galore.
Also you may want to dance the new
dance La RuSbe, which Is just HO" DtlHs
danced in the better class dancing circles.
The dance was first introduced by CkLIif
at the Russian fete given for the bsne1t
o. war-stricken Russians at the Biltmt re
by Mrs. W X. Vanderbilt.
II is a combination waltz and hesitation
step-simpIe. but extremely graceful, and
it has swept into popular favor like
magic.
Sea Gate, at the tip end of Coney Island,
has again been swept by the high seas
and made desolate. Sea Gate Is one OF
the ultra exclusive places where the hoi
poIlOi is barred One must always enter
Sea Gate in ones car. There is a watch
man at the gate, and unless you are
resident or have q pass you cannot en-
ter.
\ few blocks above the rough necks of
Coney Island eat hot dogs and gargle red
lemonade
When the storm began 10 brew it was
noticeable that the few residents at Sea
Gate became very chummy with the few
remaining rough neCks at COney Island
and they did not hesitate to call on said
rough necks TO help them save their prop
yrty. A high sea is a gPeat social leveleT.

Joseph Edgar Chamberlin, among other
things answers questions that are asked
a New York newspaper. One man wrote:
"Is II correct to say Two teaspoons full
or two teaEpOonfuls?
Chamberlin answered: You don't MI
full. but a teaspoon. Therefore, you say
two teaspoons full
Then the avalanche started. and so
many different readers had opinions of
their own that Chamberlin is frankly
doubtful of his own answer. Many say
they have been taught that he word tea
spoonful used a. standard Of measure
ment becomes teaspoOnfuls in the plural
Another says a spoonful is a measure
and therefore a single noun You could
not say mOuthfuls or cupfuls.
Still another says that one does not Ill
full" but a teaspoon. That one doesn't
MI two teaspoons. but the same spoon
twicc-and so they argue.
