Janitor Woos and Wins the Cook and Their Romance

At the Rebecca Gratz Club, 7l9 North
9th street, live 81 young women and one
man--the janitor. He, Maxim Jakim-
chuck chose Julia SwenchiChky, the cook,
for his helpmate, and the first act or the
romance will end when Julia and Mike
are married at their adopted home on
Sunday afternoon.
Back in the kitchen Julia was peeling
potatoes for tonights dinner, and blush
ingly referred all inquiries to the
mother" Freude Smulyan, OF the house
Mike was on the third floor cleaning
windows. but his smile made up for his
inability to express himself in English
For Mike six months ago was an un-

And in one short half-year he has made

Smulyan," who doesn't seem much older
than the flock of young girls who live
with her at the clubhouse, Julia came to
me and asked me TO fix her wedding
like the other girls Whenever one of
our girls marrieS. she always thinks of
this house as her home. So did Julia.
I'VE are going to decorate the house,
on Sunday, with Polish and American
flags. A band Of music has been hired for
the occasion. Sometime between now and
Sunday Julia will bake her wedding
cake.

In my eyes is that Julia took for granted
that here was her home and We were her

For Julia and Mike will be married by
a priest from the Creek Catholic church
on Franklin street near Brown. i'm the
house where they are the only nom

two and a half years ago when there
were only handful of girls making their
home there. Today it is filed to its

faster than the vacancies
"Iulia's wedding is the first of the
year, but we have at least five more on

For 1t seems that the club. which is

"t cordially commend the Presidents plan
to lay before the voters his reasons, said Bryan.
"The people are entitled to all the light possible

manufacturers of munitions, to whom prepared

from the big corporations which want large

danger instead of those which are within the
