KOSHER OYS TIERS
A Sketch BY Conan Shaffet.


be quoted with a fervent doxolo-
gical enthusiasm suitable for the
occasion, the angels of Peace"
watching over the glorious repast
Of the sacred doughty fringes, by the
glare of the Sabbath candles.
And such was the great delight Of
the happy macaronist that often he
would, in the midst of the delicious
feast, and while the food was yet be-
tween his teeth, ere it was chewed
up, fall into deep slumber, snort
ing over heaped Lokshen plate,
and thus frighten the Sabbath an
gels away.
On festival days, the smack of
Moshe Loksh's lips while indulging
in his Paradise fringes, bespoke the
trill of the inspired muses., yea the
chatter of the Seraphin encircling
the throne of the most high!
On Rosh Hashono the doleful
echo Of the Shoffar vibrated in the
splash Of the Lokshen, it's indul-
gence then being looked upon by
Moshe, as a mascot to shield him
from all evil, while the ominous
Yom Kippur Eve Lokshen were
fairly worshipped by him as if it
were cure-all remedy, and pre-
vention from all possible ailments
which mortals are heirs to.
In America.
''From the day of the destruction
of the temple, the SAVIOR of flesh has
been transferred to the bones.'
Such is the decision of our sages.
Moshe knew the above saga, and
he often wondered where the sweet
flavor of the dear old home Lokshen
crept to, here in the golden land of
America
"A wailing for Columbus y
Moshe Loksh would thus deplore
the situation, whenever by chance
he would partake Of a dish Of
American so-called homemade
Lokshen. AT home, in Poland, a
plate of Lokshen-do | know what !?
It simply melts in your mouth from
deliciousness moreover it has the
relish of the Gan Eden (paradise) !;
it is resurrection, it is simple
revival of your Neshoma (soul) ;
while here, do | know what? O
Lord of the world, have you ever
beheld Lokshen, O, you want to
know what Lokshen tastes like in
New York, Ell? Then you might as

In Poland.

From his early childhood, Moshe
Loksh manifested keen relish for
the savory Jewish dish known as
"Lokshen," hence he derived the
sobriquet of Moshe Loksh.
Moshe possessed passionate and
ravenous appetite for the Yidishe
macaroni, and every one in his little
native Polish town was aware Of the
fact that Moshe was a Lokshen
fend, and he was proud of it.
He delighted to engulf the YER
micalous doughty strings, prepared
in any shape or form, and he loved
to gloat over those golden-colored
disks when his wife rolled them into
thin Lokshen leaf, then folding the
paste into even plaits would skill
fully and handsomely clip the soft
yielding dough, under the delicate
pressure of her finger, thus creating
a delicious pile of golden Lokshen
strings.
Then Moshe Loksh with some
sacred aspiration gazed upon the
heap of the Jewish macaroni, await
ing anxiously their transformation
into a crisp position, when he would
gently and cautiously lift them up
in his mild grasp and letting them
drop in the simmering pot in the
oven, Moshe with a curious Whit,
would inhale the fragrant culinary
vapor lowering over the Lokshen
pot, and watch over the precious
vermicelli, as our ancestors once
watched over the mamma which was
rendered to them in the desert by
the Omnipotent Leader.
In fact, Moshe Loksh discerned
all the variable flavors in the deli
cious Lokshen, akin to the palatable
mama thus gathered in the wilder
ness by our forefathers.
On week days Moshe's Broche
over his Lokshen had the tone Of the
doleful tune of a one-string instru-
ment, the dish in week days mostly
being prepared either with no suetty
taste whatever, sort of neutral
state, being neither milky nor fleshy
from Mosaic point of view.
In such cases, Moshe Loksh would
ind,11oe in a dive for the real stuff
alone, the meagre liquid being ig-
nored by the Lokshen seeker.
On Friday night, however, and
during holidays, the much coveted
macaroni had a special charm for
Moshe.

January 7, 1916.

And Moshe's eyes would glisten
with sparkling tears, as he revolved
his stool in the cheap Kosher res
taurant where he poured out his
heart before an old friend from
home
Then, Moshe Loksh fell in a
gloomy reverie- "Tzoresv Yes,
he had plenty Of them, the Lokshen
calamity being as naught in COM
parison to his materialism and lack
of a medium for his existence.
"My dearest dove, my Chanele
leben," he dictated the scribe to
write home to his wife. (And he
marveled how those pathetic words
ever escaped his lips, he being &C
customed to avoid his wife's name
as much as possible, "do yehear," and
"Behame,' . being usually substituted
for the real name, as matter OF
Euphonic Amule, or from sheer
habit)
And now this supplemented
Moshe Loksh suddenly became ro-
mantle and an ardent lover 20,
if I could only write myself" he
would often muse, signing heavily,
what a sweet royal little letter |
would write to my Chanele. Tzores!
Tzores" What sharp instruments
those are to animate the most dor
mant spirit!
So Moshe's scribe, endeavoring to
receive compensation for his liter
ary labor, would thus "disclose his
outstretched strong arm and with
his best Yidishe talent, would pur-
sue his epistle: my dear love
Chanele leben! If you would only
know how strong my soul is yearn-
ing for thee, in America How my
heart is longing after thyself, after
our two little plumes, Itzikel and
Rivkele leben-and most of all-Oh,
how I long after thy Lokshen! Not
because the Lokshen are so much
more cherished by me, only because
in those golden doughty threads, |
behold the fbres of thy soul, the
web of thy true spirit, while here
in America-a wailing for Column
bus-the Lokshen, in my eyes, re-
semble swarm of horrible, CHASTITY
looking worms and when | swallow
them they torture my bowels, even
as the worms torture the Rosho in
Gehinom. (The wicked in hell.)
81, with all my aversion for the
abominable stuff, still adhere to it
with the same bitter apathy which

The Mendelssohn Sextette Is said to be one of the very few companies on the lyceum platform capable of high grade work as an orchestra and also of good vocal ensembles They also have many costume changes and present a program said to be ideal in balance and entertaining qualities.
 The following letter Is said to be typical of dozens of letters recieved by their management:
 Somerset, N. Y. October 9. 1915. The Mendelssohns opened our course last evening before large and very appreciative audience. Secure them for your course. If too late for this. go miles to hear them. They are worth many times the money and time spent in doing so. They are artists of rare ability. Our finest musicians have ex- pressed themselves to that effect They will delight any audience.
