A Letter to "Dotty"

Dear Cynthia-May I venture to say
something to Dorothy. or my unknown
double. as she calls herself?
Well, Dotty, experience is the most
wonderful thing in this big world and
also the best teacher. Do you know
that there are hundreds like US, my
dear? So why worry yourself over
one who was not worthy Of you? This
war is over and so is our romance. Our
heroes have done their share over there.
while We did likewise over here. BY
writing to fellow I don't mean exactly
doing ones share. But. do you know, I
used to knit until my fingers could not
60 any further making sweaters for our
heroes. helped sell bonds. went out can
vassing. etc? 1t was all I could do in
my power, as am not lady Of leisure :
although my folks arc fairly fixed, still I
have to work for my bread and butter.
Now remember, pal. maybe this man
is not worthy Of you. Try to forget
him. Make believe such a man was not
in existence any more. It really is not
hard TO forget. Time is a wonderful
healer, my dear.
There are many more things in this
world than losing q sweetheart Take
an example from me. Here I am with
my dad laid up for two months
seriously i'll in the hospital. And you
know we can always replace sweet
heart. but never your dear parents.
They are the dearest thing we have in
this world. They never turn against
US. War or no war, always share
our troubles as well as our happiness.
am girl who has all the life any
girl wants to have. By that I don t
mean that I run around, but am out
for all the good fun can get out of life
in good, honest way. My pals always
want me near them and say one cant be
blue with me around. I am one of those
real devils full of fun. So. little pal,
be good and try to forget this tickle
minded man. Remember there are still
good ones around, and some day you
will look back and say, Gee. What q
fool I was" Good luck to you.

Each night our prayers GO up to God
Like little birds that fly
At evenfall on eager wings
Against the caging sky.
Each night our prayers go up to God
In little winds that leap
From dewv hollows of the hills.
Where shuttered houses sleep.
Each night our prayers go up to God
From many a slender spire-
Loosened in the golden tongues of

That cry the hearts desire.
Each night our prayers go up to God
All. surely He will bend
Above us in some early star,
And hear and comprehend.

all. Women have never resorted to
the club for recreation as men have.
Go over the roster of the thousands OF
womens clubs that have been spripsing
up all over the country during the last
couple of decades, and you will dis
cover they have in almost every case
been founded to better humanity. They
have to do with remedying civic. social
or educational conditions-very rarely
will you find one that has no aim but
to afford a place for women to come
and cast dull care away.
IF WOMEN depended on clubs as men
i do for their joy in life, I am afraid
they would lead pretty sad lives. No,
a woman has peculiar little system of
recreation all her own. Il is simply
this: A change in tasks means rela1a-
ton, and that is about all the relaxa-
tion the average person of feminine
persuasion ever gets.
1t is the man who turns over his pay
envelope and that is the end of it. It
is the woman who really shoulders the
responsibility of a home Why, even
where there is one in the family who
holds responsible position making
enormous demands on her time, you will
find this same person assuming all sorts
of domestic burdens that a man in the
house with a similar position would not
dream to bother about. It has always
been this way. suppose it always
will.
That is why it seems rather foolish
for men to claim that the nation wide
voting of women will make them neglect
their homes. Women have never been
given a chance to neglect their homes.
The vote does not mean one kind of
responsibility shirked. It oaly means
another one added.

Dear Cynthia-About six years ago
l was introduced to Young man who
seemed to take great interest in me-
Now l am twenty two years of age and
have kept company with him till the
war broke out, when ne was drafted
When he was in camp he did not write
TO me at all, but ] used to get regards
from him from his friends Later he
was sent across. I did not receive any
mail, from him there either until the
armistice was signed. and then he ex-
cused himself for not writing and also
sent me some of his pictures.
] answered his letter and told him
that his excuse was accepted. A few
months ago he returned from over there
and did not even come to see me until
accidentally we happened to meet on
the street, and he excused himself for
not coming TO see me and told me that
he was going away from Philadelphia
for business and ! have not heard from
him since he left.
Now. dear Cynthia, what would you
think of a man like that?
ANXIOUS.
would advise you TO forget all about
this young man. You would only de-
mean yourself by making any advances
to him and would probably not gain
anything by it in the end. You are
young and there are plenty of nice boys
in the world. Be on the lookout for
them and let him 60 his way.

that he had lied to me than to know
he had once before been engaged.
Now. Cynthia, what do you think I
should do about this? l really feel he
was dishonorable in the matter, and vet
| love him so much l do not see how
can give him up. Do you think a
girl could safely trust herself to a man
who had deceived her about his previous
relations with another girl?
UNHAPPY.
| think you are silly, Unhappy. to
give up man under these conditions.
MY advice would be to make up, A
girl would be foolish to trust herself
to man who made a habit of telling
untruths TO her, but ! honestly believe
this Young man thought he was acting
for the best. Do other Cynthia readers
agree?

The Jewish monitor. (Fort Worth-Dallas, Tex.) 191?-1921, 1919-12-12

The blow given the assembly by the
union of Halukka and the landowner
might not only have destroyed the
thing itself but would surely have
weakened the idea and its possibility
for considerable period were it not
for the negative cause. The negative
cause Of the desire for self govern
ment is the dissatisfaction with the
administration of others. Since the
liberation of Judea, local Jewish af-
fairs, have been in hands of the
Zionist Commission acting with power
and instructions from the London
Central Zionist office. The Commits
sion has nigh two years of history be-
hind it, yet in all that time it has not
found favor with any single element
or class or faction of the population
except the parasite inhabitants of our
holy cities upon whom the supposedly
modern creative government has
poured flood of gold far greater in
volume than that of pre-war Haluk-
ka. Otherwise, the radicals and the
semi-radicals, as well as the middle
class conservatives, are opposed to
the rule Of the Zionist Commission.
Things have come to such a pass
that the recall of the major personnel
of the Commission has been suggested
on many occasions by many people
of the several parties, and it seems
that it is only the hoped-for arrival
of DR.. Weitzman which slaves off a
hostile general demonstration de-
handing the eviction of his temporary
representatives and co-workers. Mat
tiers came fast to a head on account of
the Commission's attitude and actions
on immigration and labor. The Com
mission has done nothing to help poor
people immigrate to Palestine; it did
nothing to help those who came to the
doors of the country. On good au-
thority it is even stated that the Com
mission has used its influence to close
those doors.
Unbelievable as this seems, the fact
is that numerous immigrants, after
months of wearisome, dangerous trav-
ell, found the gates of Jaffa, and rail
roads running south from Syria, closed
to them. Today physician and three
students await forcible return to ST.
IBERIA. Thousands suffer in Constan-
tinople because they cannot obtain

COMMISSION IN HANDLING
PROBLEMS OF LABOR
AND IMMIGRATION
IN PALESTINE.
The Remedy Lies in the Gradual
Adoption of a Modified Form
Of Self Government.
By Louis Fischer
By Louis Fischer

(Our Palestine Correspondent
There will be no Constitutional AS
sembly in Palestine. instead the Pro-
visional Committee has decided to call
meeting of elected representatives
of the Jews of Palestine which is to
arrange the self-government and dem
ocratic representation of the Jewish
Settlement.
All this has a history. 1t will be
remembered that on several occasions
the Provisional Committee determined
on the converting of Constitutional
Assembly, that on each occasion rea-
son was found or created for post
ponement, that the final postponement
effected by the united opposition of
the orthodox and the colonists, was
tantamount to death blow. Now, in
place of an assembly which was to
have written the constitution of a
commonwealth, we have an assembly
which will attempt to begin self adj
ministration in the country.
1t would be possible and profitable
to enter into a discussion of the for
mer opposition to the Constitutional
Assembly, and of the present opposi-
ton to the new assembly-an oppo-
sition which will likely again post
pone and probably again strangle.
But this would be politics and not ba-
sic. Whether the assembly material
ICES or no, it is far more important,
now, to consider, first, why the
healthy elements in the settlement de-
mand such an assembly, and second,
why the settlement needs self gov
eminent. Some would make the sec
ond "why" because" and say "They
demand an assembly because the set
Element needs self government" This
is perfectly correct and the positive
cause of the assembly should be ac-
credited to those parts of Palestine
Jewry that maintain it. But it will
be additionally correct to ascribe a
negative reason.
