 Against her arm she felt the mans heart quicken it's beat
 "Who is that?' he asked quietly.
 "You are walking straight into the water Avis said, conscious that her voice was strangling with emotions.
 This man was blind-blind to all the beauty of this moonlit world! Blind and little over his first youth And the laugh that sprang from his lips was boyish, actually boyish.
 Avis shrank from her own petty in- feriority. Her scanty, meager troubles stung her consciousness into utter shame. She suddenly hated Arnold with hate that flung huge carpet over her former love and smothered it for all time She hated herself. too, for the moment of weakness she had allowed his desertiOn to give her. Tn vivid flashes these truths flung them selves before her.
 But the blind boy was speaking and Avis heard him with startling clarity of brain. It seemed as if her heart Lad been thrown wide open swiftly-that he might enter.
 ''l thought knew every'inch of this wonderful place. As kiddie every tree and every curve of the wee lake was familiar to me. Funny-if l had bumped off here-after going right through the great war"
 Half consciously Avis drew the boys arm nearer her side. They had Dilnd- ed, him, then, those beasts of the en- eny country. ,. If they had only blinded me before, he said, as if he had sensed her thought, "only scant half hour so that I could have remembered my pals as I saw them dashing headlong over the ton. full of life, manhood-the braveRt and finest pals God ever put breath in." He drew breath ana ceased speaking, but his silence was more terrible to Avis than vivld word picture, for while his body hao tautened she knew that he was rackeo with inward sobs. He was strus- eling to forget that flash of wreck age penned within his brain Just De fore sight had been snatched rom him.
 Stealthfly. like prisoners escaping from crushing confinement, the tears soueezed through Avis eyelids ana snlashed down over her hands. "Rut don't you think I'm qultter' the man finally was saying ! an thankful to have known so brave set of men. honored for having fough. hoc;do them.

LLOYD GEORGE INVENTS NEW
TERM FOR ANTI-SEMITES.

During the discussion in Parlia-.
ment recently regarding Turkish
Treaty, the charge was again made
that the decision to retain the Turks
in Constantinople was the result of
some international Jewish financial
intrigue. In reply to this the Prime
Minister, Mr.. Lloyd George, described
the propagators of this legend as
"Hebromaniacs." The Jewish Chroni-
Gle likes this new appellation better
than anti-Semites, because the latter
has a scientific designation, while the;
former describes the condition as a
malady- which it in reality is.

with her late sister, Gaby Deslys, is
associated by The Taller with the re-
vival. Batik is a method of paint
ing over wax. Lines are drawn In
the wax and the color is then applied
and sometimes fixed by acid. It is
an Improvement on pen painting!
The art, according to The Taller;
was introduced into the United
States in 1913, having been known
in ancient India. AS far as Europe
is concerned Batik disappeared and
passed into Oblivion. But Batik has
been known in Palestine for some
years. 1t was Prof. Boris Schetz,
of the Bezalel, who not only re-dis-
covered it, but applied the Batik
process to metals, wood ivory and
glass, as well as to silk and textiles.
He was eminently successful. He
found out secret by which the
beautiful sheen on wooden Batik
work remained permanent. In this
lay the value of the Bezalel crafts
manship, for the defect of Batik had
always been the fact that the polish
persisted very rapidly. When the
Bezalel Exhibition was held in the
Savoy Hotel, Cairo, in 1912, under
Mr.. and Mrs. Goldberg and Mr.. Jack
Mosseri, the Egyptian government
sent representatives from the depart
ment of arts and crafts to investi-,
gate this question of the polish.
They were so satisfied that not only
were extensive purchases made on
behalf of the public museums and
art schools, but negotiations were
begun for the sending to Egypt of
instructors to teach the method. But
Prof. Schatz preferred to keep the
secret in Palestine, though he was
perfectly ready to admit Egyptian
pupils to his school.
1t may be added that in Java the
process has never died out. Many
specimens can be seen in India and
Oriental museums. The name is
really Batak, not Batik, and is
Javanese. The Javanese prefer
brown and black colors, and their
work is most tasteful. s*~ q
This would be a good opportunity
for Bezalel to take advantage of the
fashion and supply the European
market with Palestinian dress fabrics
in Batik.

THE AMBASSADOR OF JEwRY.

THE AMBASSADOR OF JEWRY.
& In the magazine section of this
journal last week we had the pleas
+ ure Of reprinting an account of the
address delivered by Hon. John w.
Davis, the American ambassador at
London, at the banquet held in
sary of the institution of the Jewish
Historical Society of England. It
is not often, alas! that the speeches
Of prominent public men at occa-
sions of this kind really strike
fundamental note. Great, therefore,
was our surprise to read that Mr..
Davis referred to himself ''as the
representative in an official capacity
of perhaps today the largest number
of Jewish people gathered under a
single flag"
Proceeding from this premise the
ambassador discovered to his audi
tors an amazing familiarity with the
early history of the Jews in this
country, and emphasized the heroic
nature of the first Jewish settlers in
the United States. When the per-
sonal representative of the president
of the United States at a foreign
court departs far enough from the
beaten path of diplomatic study to
mention the conditions under which
the first Jews landed here and an
outstanding incident in the career Of
the most prominent member of this
early community, it is apparent to
everyone that his words of reference
to himself as an official representa-
tive Of'the largest Jewish community
of today are no idle facon de parler.
Mr.. Davis is no novice in official
life. A lawyer of ability, he was
for term so1icitor-general of the
United States, ranking next to the
encouragement as the chief law Of
ficer of our government. His ability
to assimilate facts of American Jew
ish history, domain of knowledge
in which he was not expected to
shine, tended to elevate his address
far above the perfunctory after
dinner utterance.
It is thus plain that the present
ambassador to Great Britain main
tains Understandings the, high ira
ditions which have crystallized about
his great post. He is indeed the
worthy successor of the brilliant
galaxy of men who have represented
us at St. james, ! More than all,
however, is his utterance notable in
a day when the, Jew in England has
had to take to the defensive in the
face Of cruel propaganda against
his race and faith in Great Britain.
The remarks of the American am
bassador- evidence the contention
that anti-Semitism has not yet been
able to, and we may hope it never
will, penetrate cis-Atlantic official
Standard.
