Something We Needn't
Tell the Children

because they wouldn't believe
it, is the fun that the grown
ups get out Of the Toy Store
round Christmas time.
Grown-ups visiting the Toy
Store unaccompanied by child
chaperons will receive every
care and attention. After a
few minutes here, however,
nobody remains so grown-up
as he was before. Provided
they buy it, grown-ups may
play for hours with any toy in
the Store, and usually do so
before giving it away-and,
sometimes afterwards as we'll.
But to get the fullest and
most rollieking enjoyment
from the Toy Store, it's best
to bring a child along-and
dear knows you don't have to

and of his own little mother, with
her foreign gestures and her Russian
accent, her intense, though uncon-
scious, Jewishness. Perhaps the par
ents did count, unfortunately, as OBJ
stacles.
When Kitty met him that night
he noticed that her eyes were red.
Mr.. Dean was conspicuously absent.
Mrs. Dean was over-effusive in her
efforts to make up for Mr.. Deans
attitude When finally Bernie and
Kitty were left alone they held
council of war over the contents Of
the letter from New Haven.

eyes, but my father is obstinate,
like the rest of his family You will
always be made miserable by my
people, and, judging from the letter
you received"
"That's true" Bernie admitted,
with gesture of disgust.
"I'l1 tell you what we'll do" sug-
gested Kitty. Suppose you attend
early mass with me tomorrow
morning, and then I'll go to your
services in the afternoon. Perhaps
before the day is over we can come
to an understanding. Perhaps what
your father wrote about praying to
God for guidance has something in
it. Let us each do so in the way
we've been accustomed"
agreed" said Bernie, thought
fully, "but want you to know"
"That you love me, Bernie? Oh,
I know it. I know it but too we'll
That is why I am not letting you de-
eide this hastily. love you, too,
better than | do myself, and far bet
ter than my own selfish happiness

She chung to Bernie as he kissed
her full on the lips.
The next day Rosh Hashana
dawned chill and cloudy. AS they
entered the huge cathedral on Fifth
Avenue, Bernie had peculiar feel
ing that Destiny was assuming con-
troll over their lives. To please her
he went through all the forms
sprinkled himself with holy water,

ever, she seemed TRANSPORTED. Her
eyes shone; her breath came fast.
There was a buoyancy in her step
he had not noticed before.
ooh, Bernie" she exclaimed, 'isn't
it wonderful This vast, shadowy
cathedral, the music of the organ,
the incense-it seemed as if my soul
were being lifted up into commun-
ion with God Himself. Isn't it
strange | never felt like this be-
fore?"
After luncheon they took a bus
downtown, and walked from Wash
ington Square to Suffolk Street.
Bernie had no intention of changing
his usual twice-ayear place of wor
ship. He could have gone either to
BETHEL or Emanuel, both of which
were within easy reaching distance.
But something within him made him
choose instead the same synagogue
on Suffolk Street where the blind
cantor held forth, and where immi-
grants and sons of immigrants
thronged in hordes to offer prayer.
At the very beginning they were
confronted with difficulty. Kitty
was not admitted among the men,
but she pluckily accepted conditions
as they were, and insisted on making
the best of them. Bernie saw her
make her way into the gallery, and
then he lost sight of her completely
for, according to the orthodox Gus
tom, the women were screened off
from the men.
That afternoon, with big ques-
ton in his mind and heart seeking
to be answered, Bernie began to see
everything with fresh vision. The
synagogue was crowded to the
doors. On the far-off battlefelds
of Europe men like these were offer
ing their lives under many flags.
Martyr-1ike they fell, fighting for
rulers who regarded them as lower
than the dust. He saw in these
men scions of an ancient race that
had withstood the scourge of Rome
and Of Spain, a race herded in mel
labs and ghettos, but indestructible.
Right before him, wrapped in pray
er shawl, stood a typical old Jew
with patriarchal locks and beard He
stood in stockinged feet and rocked
back and forth as he intoned his re-
sponses. In the wizened figure
Bernie saw the physical history of
The American Jewish world. [volume] (Minneapolis ;) 1915-current, 1919-11-21
"Well, I am grinning-ain't

w MI, = e%AAA SoA-S
Bernie replied.
81 did my best--but no use. tell
you, Bernie, our Yale democracy is
damned superficial. You know, of
course, why you were ruled out?"
Haven't the slightest idea. Guess
it was good for me, anyhow. Might
have made me feel burnptious. But
you make me curious. Which of
my faults put the kibosh on me?'
Faults p Harding groaned bitter
ly. "The fault is with those pin
heads. You're Jew"
That was the only time Bernie
had been made to feel race con-
seriousness.
It was the day before Rosh
Hashana when Bernie invited Kitty
over to Schliemann's. Over the
coffee cups they discussed the situa-
ton. 1t seemed that Mrs. Dean
was with them heart and soul, but
Mr.. Dean was antagonistic. He
wasn't keen on having a Jew in the
family-Kitty reported the entire
conversation faithfully-but If
Bernie consented to turn Catholic he
supposed it could be made all right.
He had nothing against Bernie per-
sonally
"Catholic p echoed Bernie, II
couldn't be a Catholic any more
than"
ethan I am myself You know
mas Protestant-pa's Catholic, and
to tell you the truth, I feel neutral.
You wouldn't really have to be
one"
"But wouldn't that be starting
our married life with lie?"
"Lie? It's only an expedient. All's
fair in love-isn't it? After we are
married, we do as we please"
But Bernie did not feel treasured.
His uneasiness was still further in
creased when he received a letter
from home.
In such cases letter may prove
to be either balm of Gilead or vitrio1.
Bernie's parents did not spare their
vocabulary. The underlying theme
was that in no circumstances would
they give their consent to such
union. Anything but that A post
script begged him to attend the New
Year services at the synagogue and
to pray for guidance to Almighty
God.

Washington, Jan. lo-The Off

kingdom of the Serbs, Croats and
Sloyens made public today a dis
patch from Belgrade giving a pic
ture Of the great misery which pre-
walls in liberated Serbia. The dis
patch, dated January IA, says in
part:
Belgrade today presents the as
pect of a convalescent after serious
illness, The population, which be-
fore the war numbered 100000. is
now reduced to a half. Certain
streets and even certain quarters
are still deserted. Many houses
have been destroyed, wholly or in
part, by the bombardment. There
is a want of material to reconstruct
them.
Trade is dealing only in goods of
prime necessity. All other nler-
chandise is available in very small
quantities. The prices in Consequence
are extraordinarily high. A suit
Of clothes costs $500; a pair of
boots $50; hats $lO to $l4; shirts
$40 and stockings $6. In the prov
inces the state of things is still
worse. All the children are anaeniic
and infant mortality is great.
"All communication between Bel
grade and Saloniki is interrupted.
It is also impossible to pass the
Sava river, the great bridge being
destroyed. AS a consequence, Ser
bia is practically isolated from the
world. The population, whatever
their social position, are complete
ly without underclothing and are
forced to wear ill-6tting and worn
clothes. Some are even in rags.

MILLION RUSSIANS
PERISH IN CAPTIVITY.

Russian prisoners scattered through

died in captivity, according to the

prisoners Of war have brought re-

meted out to Russian prisoners in

and these stories have been borne
out BY a report recently received by

returned from Germany.
According to these reports, the
Russians were subjected to terrible
hrutalities and were forced to do
heavy and degrading work under
constant stimulus Of the lash. Some

in Germany
