A GAME OF LOVE
By c. D. Naumberg.
Translated from the Yiddish by Gerson Rubinovitz.
By c. D. Naumberg.

own enjoyment all peaceful and
quiet it had forgotten to move Now
they come to the parting of the
streets; the one on which they have
been walking is long and broad
thoroughfare. The other in which
Mania lives is crooked and narrow
alley. Bender stopped and said
81 don't want. to enter that mar
row little street-it is monotonous.
Come, Mania, we will yet walk a
bit"
mo, Bender, It's late"
And yet she did not move from
the spot. She took out little watch
from her waist to see what time it
was. Bender took it from her and
held it in his hands with a special
pleasure. The tiny black little watch
appeared to him to be a part of
Mania, and it gave him a peculiar
enjoyment, and stirred his heart to
hold it in his hand.
"a quarter to one" he said after
a silence. She stood there for a
while lost in thought and then with
an energetic movement turned her
face toward him, put her watch in
it's place and said: "Well, let us
walk yet. They are all asleep now,
anyway. Whittier? It's all the
same"
And again they walked through
the streets and open places; again
the moon hid and reappeared; again
the noisy droschke passed by and
a drunken person trudged his way.
And the tiresome talk concerning
things which do not in the least in
terest him, about the theater, their
acquaintance, ETC., continues with
out end. The happy hour did not
arrive and Bender began again to
rebel against himself.
The dark thoughts which he had
this day stiAed within him, again
began to pierce his brain and with
greater force than ever. "There is
no love between U.s." he thought to
himself, "and no harmony whatever.
1t is simply an agreement She, a
bright girl who wishes to enjoy life,
is prepared to enter into matrimonial
bonds with him, young man who
earns good money-it is an excel
lent match for her, and I am a fool,
little boy who never knows what
he is about" He remained silent
and reflected The silence of the
man whom she was still incapable of
understanding, clearly tainted and
offended her She walked very close
to him and looked into his eyes, but
he still remained silent, a silence

which was born out OF bitter STUB
bornness and only by his lowered
head and his firmly closed lips did
she know that he was wrapped in
some thought An overwhelming
desire to know what he was think
ing about, to find the key to his
heart, suddenly overlook her.
"Why are you silent, Bender?"
she asked.
81 feel happy even as it is, Mania"
he answered, thinking at the same
time that he was telling a lie. 81
do not feel like talking and dis
cussing, but just want to walk near
you and be happy
"What terrible egotist you are.
You are always thinking about your
self and you never think about
Others
"That is true" said Bender,
tersely.
This reply which she had often
heard from Bender always angered
and offended her; it appeared that
he was hiding from her his inner
self She replied angrily:
"You always answer me this way.
That is true, that is true, but I
know this myself I want to know
why it is not true. You think then
am not capable of understanding
you. What"
"You are right, Manja."
The conversation was broken up
and she wanted to go home. Bender
no longer attempted to detain her
and escorted her to the gate of the
house. At their parting he pressed
her hand to his lips and kissed it.
Why he did this he did not under
stand himself and he had a feeling
that the kiss was thing, foolish and
accidental, like all his acts, thoughts
and doubts.
Once he sat close to Mania on
sofa in her house. Only few
minutes before Mania was full of
merriment and vivacity, constantly
moving about, laughing and testing
she sat down and rose again, talked
and frolicked, and it seemed as if
with every movement of her body
and every expression of her facial
features she said: 81 am as free as
bird, full of life, full of youth and
happy"
Now she grew silent, as if she had
submitted to some power outside of
herself Her hair fell down in loose
disorder over her cheeks and eyes.
Her small dark face appeared to
have drawn it's beauty within it;
peculiar earnestness had spread it

walking with her from one street
into another and he feels almost hap
by at her side. Not entirely happy,
but almost happy. 1t seems to him
that at any moment, one minute or
five minutes after, some important
thing will happen, some miracle will
take place which will remove the
last thin obstruction that stands be-
tween heart and heart; then the
happy hour will strike for which he
has so long waited, hoped for and
yearned.
One moment only, and everything,
everything, will be different than
heretofore Instead of petty, COM
monplace thoughts, instead of fool
ish doubts, crushed, broken feelings,
without purpose or beauty or power
there will be one feeling which
will master his heart, and one beau
tiful clear thought will spread
throughout his being like glowing
light which quickens and freshens
our being and rouses him to life
and courage, the thought that this
proud and youthful being will be
united with him.
One minute more, five minutes
more and there will no longer be
any che" who yearns and follows
her like a shadow, and no "she"
who comes one step nearer to him
only that she may take two steps
farther away, who repulses him and
then draws him back with her COO
ing, but there will be one unit, a
harmony of two souls-love!
There is silence on the street.
The stores are already closed, the
rays of the moon blend with the
glitter of the street lanterns into a
peculiar light which is characteristic
of the summer nights in large city,
The full moon shining brightly
peers forth from here and there, now
from the top of high roof and then
from behind the chimney in an OBJ
scure corner of the street, and then
it hides and appears again as they
walk together. They pass the night
watchmen who beat their canes
against the cobble stones as a sign
of their vigilance from time to time
the sounds of bell ringing at some
gate is heard; stray pedestrians
cross their path and man overcome
with drink trudges his faltering way.
A droschke with it's heavy wheels
beating noisily against the stony
pavement passes by and disappears.
Here is the church with it's high
spire; over it there hovers a pale
small cloud so restfully and peace

employees of this firm use the afore- every day in the year. Tn fact, years ago when one member of the firm, Otto Burckha rdt, was ill the Common Council he pointed out the wisdom of purchasing the property for the city at that time. Probably because he was a member of the concern that held the property his advice was never taken. Retrospection reveals the remedy then offered as a worthy one.
 Now that the Common Council has paved the way for a betterment of conditions at one of the worst grade crossings in seven states let not dil- atory methods obstruct progress. This property at the corner of Lake and Washin gton streets must be purchased if it can be secured at a reasonable price-and there are no present indi- cations of a holdup. There will be none so long as the city negotiates with men of the caliber of those who hold the land in question. This be- ing the case, then, let the wishes of the people be fulfilled. They have had enough of the dangers attendent upon the Lake street crossing and others almost as bad. Tn this case the city is responsible for the necessary improvements, and the railroad can be held to blame only in the case of negligence on the part of it's employees Gates left up when trains are passing might happen at any time gate tender fails in his duty. In this in stance a street which has no business to project itself into the center of a railroad crossing can be placed where it belongs by the purchase of small frontage of land on Lake and Wash ington streets. The way is clear. Now for the improvement.

The New American Doll.
(World's Work).

The day of the old-fashioned Ger man doll has gone, probably forever. She was always an unnatural, arti- fic1al product, with her porcelain face, painted like a chorus girl, her popping blue eyes, her mass of unvarying golden hair, her highly colored ruby" lips. No single thing in the nursery was the cause of so many domestic tragedies. Drop her on the floor, and the head woud usually go flying into a dozen parts, and legs and arms constantly bled sawdust so profuseIy as to suggest the carnage of Euro pean battlefield. Little girls who could easily manufacture a baby out of the family ragbag had no difficulty in mOthering one of these queer prod ucts of the Germanic genius, and so millions of Americans have been brought up on them. But their day, we are told, is over
 The European War, which had end ed most kinds of immigration, has shut out these little wanderers Am erican genius, which is now being called upon to manufa cture coal-tar dyes, hexamythyline, and manicure scissors, is also turning it's attention to dolls. Our success has been so great we are told, that not only shall we not import any more dolls from the Fatherland but that we shall prob ably sell them in Nuremberg itself! For our doll makers have turned real ists. Their products are individual ized like a real baby. No more un- glazed porcelain faces; these Amer ican dolls are really flesh color and their heads have the additional value of durability. These little creatures are already so popular that our toy factories are running day and night to supply the demand. It is one of the pleasanter aspects of the war.

For eight years or more members of the Sunshine Society have made a practice of visiting the inmates of the Town Farm at this season of the year and taking with them gifts to cheer the hearts of the less fortunate. Yes- terday afternoon those interested in this work gathered in the reception hall of the main building and enter tained the folk who lived there with a real old fashion Christmas party There was a beautifully decorated Christmas tree, and a Santa Claus. and numerous parcels and packages for the old and the young, the men and the women. Last Sunday the members of St. Mary's Church visited the farm and distributed various Christmas remembrances. So long as these things continue, so long as the people of New Britain, through their various social organizations, maintain an active interest in work of this kind
 over and above the duty evinced as taxpayers, so long will New Britain have a right to feel proud of itself There is no better charity than that
 which exerts itself in the interest of those who are unable to help them selves.
