p~arenthood of the child.
Whitney's lawyers are making a
preliminary fight to invalidate the
suit on the ground of statutory linn
itation because of failure to follow
up the served on young
Whitney a year ago.
1t is probable the Rockland coun-
ty court records of the annulment
of Miss Fontaine's first marriage to
Sterling Adair will be dug up.
Seeks to Invalidate Marriage
There will likely be al effort to
prove, on her behalf, that her mar
rage to Adair was not legal because
Adair was already married to an
other; and on Whitney's behalf that
the annulment proceedings there
fore were fraudulent.
The baby may be an important
figure in the legal tangle.
One of the serious complications
in the case is the fact that Adair is
dead, having either committed sui.
eide or been mysteriously murdered
in Texas a few months after the an
nulment of his marriage.

Perhaps, say lawyers. in the end
less legal complications that seem

quite a different sort of case. it may
parallel the Stillman case in the
length and completely of litigation.
Asking 100000 damages for al

taine in the formal complaint she
has just filed here declares young
Whitney, a college student, repeat
eddy promised to, wed her and that
she consented to the marriage.
The promise of marriage. her

debauch and demoralize her. Whit

the Messiah himself he who will sure

So the house of Menachem was duly
cleansed and garnished for the festi-
val, the table set for the feast, and
around it sat his wife and children
decked in rich garment, for he was
man of great wealth. But no guest
sat at his table, for Menachem thought
that he had done more than his duty.
Had he not given a little of his cher
ished gold to make cheer for the Pass
over for those who could not buy
matzos and wine for themselves?
Menachem sat upon the heaped
cushions of his great carved chair and
opened his Haggadah, beautiful with
many scenes of the Passover nara
tive, that he might begin the service.
And the youngest child, girl of four
with her mothers tender eyes and
gentle voice, asked him: Father,
why does the empty chair stand at
your side?"
I'VE always place chair at the
Passover board for the Prophet Eli
jah," explained Menachem.
"And the needy and the homeless
that they may also come in and eat
and be comforted," murmured his
wife.
But Menachem did not hear her.
He was already reciting the portion
that ushers in the service for Seder
night.

wind-there never was such wind
before in April-blew great whirls of
snow against the panes. But within
the house of Menachem the fire
burned brightly and the candles shone
upon the table piled high with rich
food and rare wines. Then came the
moment for the youngest child, now
grown drowsy, but still eager to do
her part, to open the door. She flung
it wide, rubbing her eyes sleepily;
then turned to her father, her voice
ringing with joy.
"Father-Elijah has comet" she
trebled.
But Menachem frowned in his beard
and shook his head almost angrily.
At the door stood man white-haired
and bent and broken, leaning on
travellers staff Snow glistened on
his moldy fur turban and on his rag
ged cloak. A beggar, whining and
importunate, come to disturb them at
their feast! Menachem spoke harsh

en- my share that no Jew need go
hungry tonight nor want for shelter"
The stranger stood silent, his back
bent beneath a heavy burden he car
ried, which seemed like peddler's
pack.
Menachems wife pulled the sleeve
of his white robe. Tonight we must
turn no stranger away" she whis-
pered. IBID him welcome that he
may sit beside us and share our Pass
over"
"Be Off" and Menachem turned
angrily upon the visitor. "Now, chill
dren, let us go on with the SERVICE"
he told his daughters and his son,
striving to speak calmly. But he was
much disturbed in his heart, for the
look the stranger had given him had
shaken his very SOUL Then the old
wanderer had turned away, plodding
from the room weary and bent low,
as though bowed beneath the woes of
homeless Israel.
"Menachem," cried his wife, rising
pale and frightened, II cannot let you
turn this stranger from our door. 1t
is Passover and we must open our
doors to the poor and the homeless"
Menachem did not answer. The
stranger had closed the door softly be-
hind him, yet an icy blast seemed to-
flood the room. The candles upon the
festal cloth wavered and fickered; the
fire blazing upon the hearth sank to
kissing little flames. 1t was as though
Winter or Death himself had come un-
invited to the feast
Menachem turned as white as the
shroud-like garment he wore. In the
Ghetto it was whispered that he was
something of skeptic, but even his
bold heart quailed as he turned his
eyes from the frightened faces of his
wife and children toward the frost
whitened window pane, which the
stranger had passed but moment
before. And though he tried to laugh,
he trembled as the youngest child
walled accusingly: Father, father, it
was Elijah you sent out into the
STORM"
NAY, nay, little one," comforted
the mother, mot, Elijah, but some
poor, homeless wanderer we must
succor for his sake. Make haste, my
husband, and overtake him and bring
him in out of the storm lest this Pass
over bring us evil instead of good
and misfortune will enter the door we
have closed upon needy brother"
Without word Menachem went to
the door, opened it and looked out
into the night. The wind scourged
his face with an icy blast, but he did
not hesitate. Without a word he
plunged into the snow that he might
overtake the wayfarer and bid him
welcome to his warm fireside.
Those who remained about the table
dared not speak. Was this not the
night of miracles for Israel and had
not father told son for countless gen.
erations that some day the wandering
prophet would indeed pause beside
Passover table and drink the wine and
leave his blessings ere he departed?
So they waited in awe and dread for
Menachem to return with the guest he
had sought to turn out into the night.
He came back at last, his hair and
beard white with snow, his eyes ter
rible with fear He said not word,
and they feared to question him. With

CHILL WINGS ana uCtIo sunshine, even
fiurries of snow that toward sunset
grew into steady downfall, covering
the shivering trees and hushing the
narrow streets with a soft, white
blanket. Courtiers and market people
and ragged beggars, meeting in the
great market place of the city, swore
that never had there been such
spring time; behind the high gates of
the Ghetto, the Jews who had just
swept and purified their houses for
the Passover, warmed their hands be-
fore their grateful fires ere they DON
ned their white garments and sat
down at the Seder table to keep the
ancient feast of their fathers.
The poor folks among the Ghetto
jewellers, and there were many, for
the days were cruel days for the Jew,
and many knew not how to earn their
bread because of the hard laws which
met them at every turn, shivered in
their rags or the mean garments some
generous soul had given them in hon
OR of the festival. But they knew that
on one night at least they would not
be hungry, for the rich men of the
Ghetto of Prague, had given matzos
and fruit and fowl and sweet wine to
every man of family that he might
keep the Passover and sit at the head
of his own table on Seder night like
a prince in Israel. And those who
were alone in the world, orphans, or
young scholars, or the very old who
had lost all their kin, these were made
welcome in the homes of their more
fortunate brethren. Treated as hon
ored guests they sat in their places
before the fair white cloths spread
with the symbols Of the feast and re-
peated in their turn the joyful words
with which the Jew greets the holt
day of freedom for his ancestors. So
in the homes of all the Jews of the
Ghetto of Prague, even the very poor
est, the weary ones of Israel found
peace and plenty for single night
and sang with joyful voices of the
return to Zion.
But in the house of Menachem, the
rich money lender, there was no guest.
Perhaps if the hard laws of his day
had allowed Menachem to follow some
other trade, his heart would not have
grown as hard and cold as the yellow
pieces of metal which he wrung from
the hands of his debtors. Gold had
grown to be his God and he loved it
better than even his wife and his chill
dren, his son, whom they called "the
little scholar" from one end of the
Ghetto to the other; his three fair
daughters, the eldest girl almost
ready to stand beneath the Chuppah,
so lovely that it was more than her
fathers dowry which brought many
suitors to her hand to the house of
Reuben, the marriage broker. Tonight
they sat around the Seder table, Mena-
chem and his family, and the festal
tapers shOne upon rare linen and al
most priceless silverware and the high
golden cup filled with wine and set
apart for Elijah the prophet. Legend
had it that on Seder night, the proph-
ct wandered from house to house,
pausing for moment beside every
table where Jews gathered to keep
the Passover. So goblet of wine
was set aside for him and an empty
chair placed beside the chair of the
master of the house that the prophet
might find welcome whenever he
should come. And not only the little
children who heard with shining
