same set Of emotions as his steps
did during the courtship period,
some silly woman viii imagine
that she no longer loves her hus-
band. She expected to eat her
emotional cake and have 1t too.
Love to her is not unselfshness,
confidence, trust, but something
that is going to make her cheek
flush and pale by turns. And
when honest John, worn with the
struggle for the almighty dollar
fails to do this-she makes up her
mind that she no longer loves him.
This is the time when q great
many women "think Of taking up
Q career" and if / happened to be
their husbands I'd let them 60
ahead. A good dose Of drudgery,
minus the lack Of appreciation Of
q cold cruel world, would soon send
these ladies back weeping on
honest Johns shoulder. It would
do them an immense amount Of
good to find out by actual expert
ence what poor incompetent
creatures they are and how much
their great talents would COM
mand in the open market.
These thrill" addicts would
not know real love if it ever came
their way. They are looking not
for love, with the unselfshness it
impress, but for emotion at any
cost With such people it's a case
Of wanting what they want when
they want it, and they propose to
have it at the expense of everyone
involved-even the one they claim
to love better than life"
There is also very little genuine
love on the part of the man who
wishes to preserve" a girl for
some future date at which he
might, could, would, or should pro-
pose to her. l have had literally
thousands Of letters on this sub
ject. Let US suppose that a young
man likes girl very much and has
paid marked attention to her. Sup
pose, also, that he is methodically
planning to propose to her, when
they raise his salary next spring.
Is He Justified In Building a
Fence?
Is he justified, meanwhile, in
building a fence about this girl, so
to speak, through which no pos
sible rival may enter, and inside
of which the girl herself must con-
tentedly await his pleasure?
A great many young men feel
this procedure to be quite within
their rights, and we find girls
meekly submitting to be reserved"
in this fashion. "He is devoted to
me" writes one; but she is utterly
wrong, he is devoted to himself.
You would never find a man of this
type walking a hundred miles to
see if his mentally infrm old wife
were well cared for, as did old

dimensions, senses, affections, pas
sions? If you prick us, do
we not bleed? If you tickle us do
we not laugh? If you poison us, do
we not die?"
The sight or the knowledge of
the suffering of human being pains
us, if we have truly human heart
within us; and it matters not to
what race or church or class the suf-
ferer belongs. Our religion has
made the relief of suffering, "char-
ity," as it is called, or "gemilluth
hasadim," one Of the highest duties
of man. And our charity, we are
further taught, is not to be confined
to our own, those of Our own race
and faith. Our charity must be as
broad as humanity. 1t is only be-
cause the Jew was for many
centuries treated as an outcast, was
refused association and fellowship
by his Christian neighbors, was
secluded in his own wretched habi-
tations, lived in a world of his own,
full of misery, in the midst of the
larger hostile world; because not
only was no attention given to his
suffering and plants, but the world
did it's utmost to intensity his mis-
cry, that he had to confne all his
sympathy, all his compassion, all
his charity to his own sufferers. He
cared for them, for there was no
one else to care for them.
But, thank God, times have
changed. In liberal and enlightened
countries the Jew, like every one
else, is given the opportunity to join
his fel1ow:citizens in all matters and
enterprises that concern us all alike
as members of the same community.
And the relief of suffering in all

it's forms poverty, sickness, home
lessness, unemployment, neglect,
and the stigma of a past offense, is
the concern of all That this is now
being recognized by the entire COM
munity, and is prompting it to
adopt the Community Chest" idea,
one fund for all the philanthropies in
which all the citizens are interested,
is a striking manifestation Of the
new spirit of neighborliness and
brotherliness for which we should
be duly grateful.
To us Jews the men at the head
of the Community Chest are partic-
ular1y kind and generous. They
not only allow us all the funds
necessary for the carrying on Of the
work of our local charities, but also
liberal amount as Our contribu-
ton to the Jewish War Sufferers
Relief Fund. We shall probably
receive altogether $125,O0O to $780,
600. It would mean a tremendous
effort on our part if we had to
raise it all ourselves. This kindly
and generous treatment we receive,
therefore, involves serious obliga-
ton on Our part, the obligation to
contribute to the Community Chest
with the utmost liberality. 1t should
never be said that the Jewish mem
bers of the community are receiv-
ing as their share more than they
are giving. That would be a real,
Hillul Hashen1. 1t should be a
point of honor with us and a mark
of appreciation for benefits received,
that the total of the Jewish contribu-
tons to the Community Chest ex-
ceed the sums allotted for our phil
anthropic work.

the spirit of unity and harmony that
is beginning more and more to pre-

It is the noblest expression of our
common humanity, the expression
of a growing consciousness in us
that in all essential human things,
in the matter of human wants and
needs, human suffering and relief,
human misery and comfort, we are
all alike.
The greatest Of all men the found

nized the fact that under all the
labels and libe1s that have been at

groups of the human race, as re-
suit of mutual animosities and re-
ordinations, there beats the same
human heart, that feels the same
kind of pain or joy, and is quick

HOST TO LEGION
viii Invite officers of Posts Here
to Attend Organ Recital on
"Armistice Day"
BELGIAN MUSICIAN TO PLAY

American Legion officers of the county
committee and Of the seventy seven
posts in the city will be the guests of
John Wanamaker, November IL, Arm
istice Day at the evening organ con-
cert In the Wanamaker store.
In the absence of general celebra-
tion of Armistice Day, this will be the
principal function in which the legion
will participate through the representa-
tives of the various posts throughout
the city.
The recital will be given by Charles
NJ. Courboin, the Belgian virtuoso. The
program will include patriotic and ma
tional numbers in honor of the former
service men and women who will be in
attendance.
Suggestions have been received from
the national headquarters in New York
as to how Armistcie Day can be cele-
brated properly by the posts through
out the United States. Among the ideas
for most events are: League of neigh
bors' dinner, in honor of all world war
veterans; a parade, in which the G. A.
r., Spanish American war veterans and
the world war veterans may partici
pate. a patriotic demonstration citi-
2enship ceremony, miniature county fair,
municipal bonfire.
New York headquarters have urged
the posts to visit comrades in govern
ment hospitals. Appointment Of visiting
committees is recommended to perform
this legion duty. The bulletin, from
Franklin D'Olier, director of state or
sanization, reads in part:
I'm the government hospitals through
out the country are still convalescing
many thousands of soldiers who were
incapacitated during the recent war,

men are anxiously looking forward to

will have been overcome and they can

the circumstances in which these men
are placed. held by all of us who have

seem to make it incumbent upon the
