THE AMERICAN JEWISH WORLD,

revenge for the ceaseless blows it had
suffered, with curse. OF this Ben
ME, of course, had no thought. He
only heard the solemn chant and the
familiar words that had no meaning
for him, because they were in a
strange, dead language. Suddenly he
recalled, as one does a forgotten err
rand, that he must watch the glasses.
ALI those others were held up high
where he could hardly see them. But
one remained on the table. 1t was
Irving's the glass that Hannah had
placed there in defiance Of her hus-
band. and Reb Meyers pride had been
too high to notice it, and it had re.
manned.
This he watched now with a keen
thrill of expectation. What was about
to happen before his very eyes? Be-
sides, was he not close to superna-
tural manifestations? Out of that
dark that he had Just defied the
Prophet Elijah was coming-might
even now be brushing his shoulder
as he passed. Then he would drink
and perform a miracle. Bonnie
thought that someone had indeed
touched him from behind. But he
must not be distracted He turned his
eyes resolutely to the wineglass on
the table.
And as he watched a strange thing
happened. From the empty air a
hand reached out across the table
/. cloth, and the fingers closed around
Irving's glass. Then the prophet
lifted the glass up to his lips to drink.
Father" shrieked Bonnie suddenly
aloud, "the prophet! The prophet of
good tidings!"
The glass in Reb Meyers hand be-
gan to tremble and waver from side
to side. .Reb Meyers voice faltered
in his chant and finally broke. There
was dead silence for a moment
Then he resumed, rapidly and uncer-
tain1y, and when he came to the end
he fell back into his seat and dropped
the glass from his hand. Hannah was
sobbingt aloud now, and Bennie's sis
ter Miriam was scrambling uncere-
moniously from her place at the other
end of the table. AS Bonnie turned to
go and shut the door again he saw
that it was not the prophet who held
Irving's glass in his hand, but Irving
himself In an-ill-fitting, dust-colored
uniform, with queer little twisted
cap on his head, there he stood as of
old, smiling. Presently his mother
and his sister were hugging him, and
Bonnie tried to draw his attention to
himself, and Reb Meyer looked into
his Hagadah with great perplexity, as
if nothing else interested him, and
the tears rolled down his cheeks.
How it happened nobody knew, but

suddenly it had become joyous
Seder night, like those they used to
have years ago, before Reb Meyer as
sumed that permanently grim look
on his face, before the Jewish papers
began printing lists of the Jewish dead
in France. What ceremonies were
left to be performed were hurried
through rapidly. That intellectual
curiosity of Bennies even led him to
wonder at one time if his father was
not emitting certain large parts OF
them. At any rate, the ceremonies
came to an end and nobody thought
of sleep. Not even Reb Meyer. But
there he sat, evidently communing
with his own thoughts, not part OF
the talk and laughter about him.
Occasionally Hannah glanced at
him. But she remembered the grim
two years that had passed. and how
unf1inchingly he had stayed by his
task of forgetting that his son was
among the living. Occasionally Irv-
ing glanced at him. But he remem-
bered their stormy farewell and GER
tain things his mother had secretly
written him. So they left him to his
silence and talked far into the night.
Or, rather, Irving talked, while the
others listened and laughed. He told
of ridiculous things that had happened
on board ship, Of negro soldiers and
their antics, of Jewish tailors mistak-
ing a rifle for yardstick, of pompous
second lieutenants. Concerning blood
and fighting he had little to say.
At last Hannah and the children
went away to bed. The two men re-
NAMED alone. When everything had
quieted down, Reb Meyer asked
casually, "Discharged?"

his right sleeve.

nevertheless.
Presently he asked: "Have you

stead he turned to his father with
question of his own.

to say before America came into the
war-that America would never come

weFid's Highest Paid Woman Wrase<.

One of the perplexing questions
raised by the Staying of so many young
men in battle is the superfluous
woman problem
In England the women now out
number the men eight to one, On the
continent the preponderance of fe-
males over males is probably just as
great. and even in our own country
the war disastrously upset the equilib-
rum of the sexes.
There are, therefore, q vast num-
Der of women whom Fate has de-
barred from following the usual oe-
eupation of their sex-wifehood, and
motherhood. They cannot hope to
marry and thus find work for their
hands in making a home and an out
let for their emotions and aspirations
and energies in rearing a family.
Neither can they look to any man
to support them, for when the oak is
felled the clinging vine goes down
with it ana must perish, or else find
somehow the strength to stand alone.
Its days of a parasite are over in
world in which there is nothing left
for it to fasten upon.
So the question of what these
women are to do to keep from being
danger to themselves and society
is a very real one. For they are
young. They have not lived their
lives, and are not ready to meekly ae-
cept the drab existence of the old maid
who retires to the Spinsters' Retreat,
or become an annex to somebody
else's family, and fills in her days with
sweetly romantic musings on what
might have been, and dreams of the
golden haired children she never had.
No. These young women are full of
pep and go. They bubble over with
health and energy. They want the
life has taken away from them the
chance of husband and home and
child it must offer some substitute.
some spiritual and mental and physi-
cal escape valve. Otherwise the pent
volumes of feminine unrest and
energy will become as much of a
menace to the country as damned
mill race in flood time.
| And the problemiis how to find this
outlet.
/ think it will be found in work.
and only in work. That is the one
and blighted hopes, for the longing
that eats the heart out in unavaiiing
regrets. That is the one thing that
makes the individual life worth living.
/ Men have long known, and applied the
work cure to their own soul sickn ess.
Now let them apply it to women. In
mercy to her.
Open every door of opportunity to
her. Urge her to go into business.
Give her worth while occupation. Give
her work that will use up her
Strength Give her interesting work
that will absorb her every thought.
Give her the work that pays.
Let her use up her creative instinct
in calling new policies of salesman
ship, new ways of doing things, new
inventions into being. Let her mother.
nurse and eoddle her feeble business
enterprises into healthy growth. Let
her put into office mana cement the

science as to where everything is, that

From Jonathan We learn that there

being a friend lies not only in thus
winning friends; but also in the
growth of those finer qualities, with
out which friendship is impossible

OPENING THE DOORS.

Announcement is made that trade
relations between the United States
and Russia are to be resumed to the
extent that anybody who wants to do
business with the Russians will be at
liberty to do so at his own risk.
Russia has urgent desperate needs
for almost every manufactured article
in civilized use today. Her need of
medical supplies is appalling. She
could put the labor within her bor-
ders to work at railroad construction
for twenty years and still not be able
to meet her. needs for transportation.
Rails. locomotives and cars ire needed
on vast scale. Her fertile acres re-
quire farming machinery to the value
Of hundreds of millions.
Her purchases to meet her pressing
necessity would run into billions. All
this Russia is able to pay. provided
she be given the opportunity to pro-
duce and transportaher output.
Russia is great field for american
enterprise, not only. because it would
provide q market for our exports, but
because it would give free play to the
American talent for development on a
large scale. A former official of the
American Russian Chamber of Com
merce is authority for the statement
that Russia will furnish to American
capital its finest and largest fields for
profitable employment"
There was a time when capital in
any form was in bad odor in Russia,
but it is reported that all this has
changed>and that Lenine and Trotzky
have seen their mistake, a general
opening of the Russian market doubt
less would be of great benefit to the
entire world.
Russia is one of the chief granaries
Of the world. Her mineral resources
are vast. OF platinum she has almost
a monopoly. In petroleum she could
easily stand second to the United
States. The vast timber reserves OF
Siberia have an estimated value OF
between thirty and fifty billions OF
dollars. Her crop of flax would go far
toward replenishing the worlds linen
supply.
No nation, except Poland, is at war
with the wreck of the old, Muscovite
empire, but none is doing business
with her. One of the greatest coun-
i tries Of the earth, with a population
exceeding 2OO.0oO.0oo, is strangline
under the grip of a commercial block

Apparently Mr.. Bryan's heart did
not long remain in the grave. He al
ready is talking again. He is working
off his crouch over his defeats at San
Francisco by attacking the president.
It is a safe proceeding and one in
which any citizen. even a Democrat,
may engage without danger of being
read ont OF the party. There are
many Democrats who feel toward Mr..
Wilson just as Bryan does. but few
are giving public utterance to those
feelings. But it may be observed
that Mr., Bryan is condemning the
president for certain characteristics
which nobody possesses to a greater
degree than does the Nebraskan him
self. The two men are so much alike
that it was impossible that they could
work together in harmony, hence Mr..
Bryan's retirement from the cabinet.
He is something of a boss himself or
would be if he could.
