Washington, Sept. 2S. - Unless
all signs fail the coming winter Is
going to witness the greatest So
cial season Washington has ever
had.
Houses long barred up are hay-

dust is being chased from corners

be a great winter.
Washington has been socially
starved for some six or eight years
now. Not since the advent OF the
Wilson's, back in 1913, has there
been any social life in Washington
worthy of the name. Not any, al

GaySociety Season
First In Many Years
Planned At CAPITAL

Europe came along before their
administration was many months
old and put the taboo on extensive
entertaining.
In 1915 the president put his
foot down on social life and point
ed out that, in view of the thou
sands that were dying daily on the
battlefields of France and the uni
versal mourning all over Europe,
it i'll behooved Washington to lend
itself to lavish display.
Then American entered the war
and killed off what little social
life had managed to survive the
White House edict- 1t was hoped
in many quarters that Washington
would get back in the whirl after
the war, but President Wilson's
long absences and later illnesses
prevented it. So the dowagers and
"cave-dwellers" boarded up theii
imposing residences, sent theil
Jewels to safe-keeping and hied
away to Bar Harbor, New York
Hot Springs, Palm Beach, Deau'
Vile and other places, leaving th'
national capital flat.
And now the sun is beginning
to peep once more over the socia
horizon. The Wilson's are gone
the Hardings are in, the war Il
, over; there are still odds and end
of war fortunes that have survived
the attacks of the profiteers, and
what is more important than all
Washington is going TO be the cap
ital of the world for a time thu

of the international conference OF
armament and Far Eastern al

she was not blind to his shortcom-
ings. In fact, for the first few years
of their married life, she never al
lowed him to finish sentence-even
in public. "You don't know anything
about it, the imperious little beauty
rebuked him, no matter what topic
was under discussion, and, since even
a "pin-head' has feelings, Leon soon
learned to keep his ideas to himself.
Then young David Levine came to be
our rabbi. Blanche had never taken
much interest in either the Temple
o rthe Sabbath School before. Per-
haps poor old. Rabbi Grodno who left
us for an indefinite visit with his
married daughter had failed to awak-
ened her spiritual nature. But David
was different. David reorganized
the Sabbath School and Blanche be-
came one Of his most hard-working
teachers. To be sure, her frequent
trips to New York or Hot Springs,
did good deal to break up the rou-
tine of her class; but with the largest
living room in town and unlimited
funds she could give her youngsters
such glorious spreads that it was no
wonder she soon became their idol,
though her influence was not entirely
spiritual. I remember that when I
rebuked my thirteen-year-old niece
for her glowing cheeks one day, she
answered calmly that Blanche Sper-
ber used makeup, and if it was all
right for Sabbath School teacher, it
was al fright for her. An argument
which never tried to answer.
1t was the same way with the Sis
terhood. Blanche threw herself into
the work heart and soul, served on
committees, read papers on every
subject from Jewish music to Medical
Needs of Modern Palestine, sold
tickets for bazaars, donated prizes
for card parties. Although she al
ways spoke of her great love for chill
dren, she had none of her own, and
consequently had plenty of time as
we'll as unlimited funds to devote to
the various Temple activities.
Blanche soon began to devote a
good deal of her spare time to the
rabbi. She ran her own little electric
which the rabbi found most conven-
lent when he wanted to visit some
sick soul beyond the car-line. Once
Leon remarked loosely that his wife
was SO busy taking the rabbi around
that he never got ride himself any
more; not that he complained at all
he knew it wouldn't do any good.
The American Jewish world., 1921-02-25

He was a very young rabbi when
we first came to our little southern
town for his trial sermon; in fact, it
was his first pulpit. We all liked
David Levine from the first, he was
so full of life, so eager to make
friends, so delightfully."- young. It was
his youth which attracted Blanche
first; which was hard on young Rabbi
Levine. AS my young brother,
reeking with college slang at the
time, tersely put it; "Blanche had him
going some and the Lord wasn't on
the job. Which was a crude but
effective way of stating the situation.
Fortunately for young Levine,
Blanche had been married several
years before he received call to our
pulpit. This should be considered as
the act of discerning Providence for
Blanche was clearly not intended to
be a rabbits wife.
Blanche had come from family
near the fringe of our very exclusive
Jewish Four Hundred; her mother
was weak, silly woman, her father
an over-worked manager in our lead
ing department store. The two had
little in common but the hope to see
Blanche comfortably married. 1t was
for this end that her mother secretly
scrubbed her kitchen floors in order
to buy Blanche dancing slippers at
an age when the girl should have been
more Interested in her school studies
than beaux and parties; it was for
her sake that her father went to bust
ness as shabby as he dared and
stopped smoking, for Blanche went
with the "nicest Jewish people in
town" (Which in this case meant the
richest) and had to dress accordingly.
It takes neat little sum to launch
young daughter in society nova
days, but Blanche's parents felt re-
warded for all their sacrifices when
at twenty she captured the heart and
hand of Leon Sperber, son Of the
leading clothier and wealthy in his
own name.
In many ways it was most fortu-
nate match. Leon was a few years
older than his wife, thinking,
slowmoving individual whom my
brother always designated as "pin-
head". A vulgar term, but in this
case so expressive, we will let it pass.
Since Blanche, despite her superficial
education, was remarkably keen-wit-
ted and blessed with smattering Of
smart patter, most of us agreed that

Feeling sorry for the poor boy in
his lonely boarding house, Mrs.
Blanche always had him up for Fri
day night dinner. She lit the candles
now and looked extremely edited dur
ing the brief Kiddush service she al
ways invited David to perform. He
soon got the habit of dropping in for
family dinner several times during
the week; and, if there were a con-
cert or a lecture afterwards, he often
acted as Blanche's escort, since Leon
much preferred to doze over his paper
or go down to the club for a game.
And there were plenty of evenings
for quiet heart t-to-heart talks, too,
between the earnest young matron
and the very young rabbi. She told
him her religious perplexities, which
had never troubled her before, and he
asked her to help him untangle all
sorts of congregational tangles.
Should he fight the board for a paid
choir, for example, or try to put up
with the volunteer singers for anoth-
er year? Should he arrange for
congregational supper around Chanu-
kah or Purim? or, growing personal,
would it be at all possible to attend
the New Year dinner dance at the
Club unless he bought a dress suit ?
And Blanche listened attentively and
made most excellent suggestions for
she was very clever young woman,
and wise in her own generation.
People wondered how Blanche
would take it, when David came back
from his third summer vacation and
told his flock he intended to get mar
ried right after the fall holy days.
1t was a girl in his home town where
he had gone to visit his parents. He
told Blanche all about her, Of course,
and she listened with fattering at
tention for she was very sympathe-
tic young woman and the rabbits very
good friend.
'I don't know what she sees in me-"
he confessed boyishly. They were sit
ting together in the cozy little room
Blanche called her "study" although
she never read anything stronger
than current novels of the Literary
Digest there. She had picked up
smoking from smart young cousin
visiting her from New York, so she
smoked right along with him, on teh
theory it made things more "comfy".
Which did not disturb David who had
no means of kowing that was one of
her cheap ways of feeling very wick
ed and daring.
"I think I do," she answered, re-
garding him, fondly. 81 think any
girl in her senses would consider her
self lucky to get young man like
you-sincere, brilliant, good-looking
