THE AMERICAN JEWISH WORLD

forest in France which the marines
have given to America forever. Young
Jacob Frank was just fresh from high
school and an Indifferent book-keeper.
But he was one of the stuff of which
heroes are made and I wish he had a
better pen to write his obituary.
Greenberg found it hard to replace
him. Wary by nature, he decided he
didn't care to train some youngster
whom the draft would take just as
soon as he became valuable worker.
Men likely to be exempted were
snatched up at fabulous wages. Green
berg decided to overcome his aversion
for powder puffs and chewing gum
and hired Mollie Radinsky.
Unfortunately, he didn't tell his
wife. For one thing, he hated to con-
fess to her that he had backed down
on the principle he had proclaimed so
often and SO loudly. And he knew,
too, that his Frieda was jealous. She
didn't come down to the office once
in a blue moon, so why make any
"rishus" between them.
A week later Frieda ambled in to
hold up her husband for subscription
for some Belgian or French Relief
drive. She could have waited till eve
ming, she explained, but her team were
making that building and she was
bound to turn in more than that Mrs.
Gross who was doing the next two
floors. She got her check-also a
good look at Mollie, Mollie trim and
slender in her serge skirt and lingerie
waist, her fluffy hair becoming even if
it was tortured into a fashionable
caricature, her cheeks prettily flushed
for all their powder. Mrs. Greenberg
who had gone to far too many movies
in her time, sized her up for vamp
on the spot.
Had she been wise in her genera
ton, she would have said nothing. In
stead, she began to nag her hitherto
immune husband. 1t was the last
straw. Greenberg decided that if his
Frieda was jealous, he must have
given her some good reason. He be-
gan taking Mollie out to lunch and
buying her gloves and candy.
Again Frieda erred. Having lis
tened to friendly gossip Of acquaint-
ances who had seen the guilty pair
together, she confronted Greenberg
with the dreadful facts, which flat
tered him. Any man around fifty likes
his wife to think of him as dan
gerous young libertine. He allowed
Frieda to draw her own conclusions,
which she did while sobbing in her
mothers lap. The old lady did what
might have been expected. She in
sisted that Frieda should procure a
"gett" at once and leave the wretch
to lonely and penitent old age.
Frieda really didn't want divorce;
after twenty-five years women Of her
type hate to be without husband
But her mother egged her on. She
would leave the house, she declared,
if Frieda continued to live with her
son-in-law whom she called several
untranslatable names in her racy Yid-
dish. She didn't have to go to court
and get her name in the papers, il
she didn't want to. But she had to
go to rabbi and get good Jewish
divorce. That would teach him les.

MOLLIE GETS HER GET
The Story of a Jewish TringIe, by E. c. Enrich


It was shortly after the Green
berg's silver wedding anniversary that
the trouble began. You would think
that by the time man had been mar
ried twenty-five years, was almost
fifty, and rapidly losing his hair and
waist line, that he'd settle down to
slippers and the "Tageblatt" OF an
evening and leave indiscretions to the
Younger generation. But some men
don't know when they're well off.
Nose Greenberg was one of them.
Here he was with comfortable bust
ness, with wife who was jewel Of
a housekeeper, enjoying the best OF
health, to say nothing of luck in pino-
chile. But was that enough for the
loafer? No, it wasn't. Some men
have to have new pleasures, even 1t
they get themselves in trouble going
after them.
AS I said before it dated back to
the silver milestone in the Green
berg's domestic treadmill. Not that
there was the least thing wrong with
the anniversary celebration itself. 1t
wasn't one of your family dinners
which the hostess cooks herself and
hires a girl by the evening to serve
to the relatives who don't care whether
you're dead or alive half the time;
but are always glad of chance to
come and eat you, out OF house ana
home No, indeed. The Greenberg
silver wedding was the talk Of Har-
lem. The dinner was given IN F1ege!-
mann's hall, and no expense spared,
wine and everything, it being before
the war when an honest man could
take drink at his own expense with
out going to Sing Sing for it. Covers
were laid for twenty-five and after
wards there was reception and dane
ing.
"Oi, such reception and dancing"
said Mrs. Gross afterwards. "Such
crash, they almost tore the clothes off
your back" which would have been
difficult feat in most cases, as nearly
all of the ladies were in full evening
dress with fashionably exposed shout
der blades. Besides Mrs. Gross was
little jealous. She would have had
silver wedding affair herself if her
husband hadn't been inconsiderate
enough to die after twenty-five years
of welded bliss, thus spelling her
party. So now she went about in
black lace and tinkling jet and, as
Mrs. Greenberg told me almost tear
fully the next day, "smiled to my face
and knocked me to my back" Which
I can well believe, knowing Mrs. Gross
to be very sharp tongued lady, whose
insurance money has made her en-
tirely too arrogant after years of
pinching to pay the premium.
Nr - +L;s +,,oa Mr. Craonhoro
had always preferred a quiet game of
pinochle with some chosen spirits to
any other form of entertainment
Once in a while, when his wife de-
clared she was "just going 'messhu-
gah' from being cooped in the house
from morning till night" he took hel
to movie or a roof garden. MOI

heartily agreed; she was rather jeal-
Gus, and was glad that no gum-chew-
ing siren, SO familiar in all triangle
stories in the best magazines, kept his
books or sent out his circular letters.
The reception, Greenberg's debut
into the giddy whirl of society, opened
his eyes. He couldn't help compar-
ing his Frieda with the women who
were their guests, and, it must be
confessed, poor Frieda suffered there
by. For many of the dancers were
younger, while a goodly number Of
the women her own age had managed
to keep their figures and their viva
city, which Frieda herself might have
done had not Greenberg in the first
flush of his prosperity hired a maid
servant for his lady and sent the
weekly washing to the laundry. Al
though this sounds like the widest
fiction, the maid servant stayed and
stayed; she didn't want to get mar
ried as the best Of them do, never
stopping to consider how their be-
reaved employers will get along with
out them; whenever any of Mrs.
Greenberg's unprincipled friends tried
to lure her away, the indulgent Green
berg raised her wages. Although
good Catholic, Kitty's cooking suf-
fered distinct conversion; it became
so "kosher" that even Frieda's moth
er who had come to live with them,
wasn't afraid of her steaks and learn
ed to stay out of the kitchen when
the domestic jewel washed the dishes.
This was very pleasant, but it made
Frieda lazy. AS soon as she no longer
had to wipe up floors, her hips began
to flourish like the bay tree; relieved
of the strain of preparing dinner
every evening, she took to spending
her afternoons at card clubs or matt
nees. There were always refreshments
and, although Frieda tried to soothe
her conscience by telling herself it
ran in their family to be fat, she half
suspected that chocolate eclairs and
hot fudge sundaes had something to
do with her rapidly doubling chin.
The night of the reception, her hair
unbecomingly dressed by a hair
dresser more concerned with the latest
craze in puffs than her patrons fea-
lures, laced within an inch of her life,
her really lovely complexion rendered
ford by her tight dress and too album
dant dinner, Frieda suddenly appeared
to her husband as what she really was
AN over-dressed, over-fed, fat mid
dle-aged woman.
Man-like, he said nothing, but he
thought a good deal. Was it her
dress? No, for he had seen the stag
gering dressmaker's bill and was sure
she had been dressed to the limit.
And she had good diamonds. But she
didn't make no appearance, he told
himself almost angrily. Not child
or even her house to look after, and
she didn't keep herself looking right.
He stole a glance in the elevator mir
ror as he went up to his office. (And
they say they put them in for
womenD Clean-shaven, keen-eyed, he
could not be blamed for deciding, with
a glow Of pride, that he didn't look
a day over forty. Then why hadn't
Frieda kept herself young for his
sake, he asked angrily.

''I'u drive you TO the Walgrave, es-
tablish you safely, and then I'll take our
little car back to the garage" said Jim,
as we motored Into town from our hon

It was drawn. Eaunted-it wore again
the strange expression that had stolen
across 1t last night.
I wanted to protest against the ex-
travagance Of the yellow marble, violet
velvet, circassian walnut hotel 10 which
he was planning to take me, but l felt
that another word would only add to
Jims suffering.
The lobby, Of the Walgrave was filed
with women who wear rajah silks at
Palm Beach in February and sables in
New York in June-with them and the
men who can pay for such luxuries. And
my Jim IN his Uniform passed among
them like a king, though he limped and
leaned heavily On his cane as II he were
tired.
Our room was all rose and gold and
creamy-tsn wood. II had one narrow
window high above the street, and a lit
tie white enamel bath that was window
less. The boy who escorted us there
opened its window. put It down again a
little way, lowered the shade, ran Il up
again, moved the termos bottle of ice
water around from one side OF it's tray
to another-and then deliberately bowed
himself out with Jim's extravagant tip
II his hand.
My husband looked around the room.
There was a bitter tone IN his voice when
he spoke:
''Dicky Royce takes two rooms and
bath on the Fifth avenue side when he
brings Sally here"
I pretended not to hear and swept my
self a courtesy IN the long mirror en-
bedded in the closet door.
Welcome 20 town, Anne Harrison !"

PUSS IN BOOTS JR.
By DAVID CORY

/ In which to keep his new automobile,
for Puss was in New Mother Goose
Land, you must remember, and automo-
biles were quite the thing.
Jack stopped saving on seeing Puss
and the Dog That Worried the Cat com
menced to growl Then he stopped, for
he remembered our little traveller, and
SO he wagged his tail and asked how
Old Mother Hubbard's dog was. And
otter that all the. people that lived in
the House That Jack Built came up and
said how do you do, even the Man.. all
tattered and torn, and the nice old
Priest, all shaver and shorn, and the
rooster that crowed in the early morn.
And, let me see, who else was there
to greet little Puss Junior?s Why, Lit
tie Boy Blue, with his bright tin horn
and the sheep that trampled the wav-
ing corn, and, oh, dear me, I can't go
on like this any more, for l can't find
another word to rhyme with corn.
and now I must be going. my pretty
maid" said Puss Junior, CALAMITY, and
he took off his hat with the long feather
in # and bowed, and then he was of
and away to seek some more adventures.
And as he trudged along he came to
a great circus tent in a big field. The
band was playing and the flags were
flying and now and then the roar of the
wild animals came down the wind. But
that didn't brighten Puss. For don't
you remember he once belonged to a
circus? OF course you do.
And would you believe it, as soon
as he got close enough to the tent he
saw his old friend the Circus Clown
standing outside talking to the Circus
Queen And when she saw him! Well,

what she said. but just wait and you
shall hear-Copyrigh 1920.
