leaned back wearily. She had expert
enced a number of these lessons in
etiquette from her daughter.
"Do you suppose. for one moment,
mamma, that can ever face the cook
again? What must she think of us?
She said you mussed up the entire
kitchen and she was unable to make
you leave"
"I should be put out of my own
kitchen yet? A nice thing | have

cause shicksa cook won't like that
I come into my own kitchen? You

impatiently. "You shall have to learn

her hands in dismay.
"You should keep still yet, that's
what you should do" Mrs. Walker
had stood her limit. She rose angrily
to her feet. cts enough change
my name, because your papa says it
looks better on his business cards.
It's enough / never go to see my old
friends and always watch out for 9TH
er people. Amt all these enough,
without keeping out of my own kit
chen?" She prepared to leave the
room, but Rosalind interrupted her.
"You're very dissatisfied mamma"
she said. "Here father has shaved all
his life to make money SO you could
enjoy it in your old age, and you
scold instead of thanking him."
ssDo you call it enjoying when |
always got to look that I do something
wrong? Maybe I don't shake hands
the right way, or maybe once / call
you Rosie in front of Mr.. Gordon"
"Please, mamma" Rosalind cried
impatiently. "Leave Mr.. Gordon out
of it."
sMaybe not such fine swells they
were before they got their money
either" Mrs. Walker tossed her
head.

Regular goy1m Cney are. It's
shame, too; good Jews, and so soon
they get little money, they got to
be goyim. Ach, don't know what
we come to-" Thus spake Mrs. Sill
verman to one Of her daily customers.
"How you know all this, Mrs. Sill
verman?" asked her listener, Mrs.
Rosen.
"Wait, I come to it," she eau
toned. "You shall soon know. Some
carrots, you say. you want?" She
picked up bunch of vegetables and
displayed them for examination to
Mrs. Rosen. "Nice ones, amt they?"
s'The last get from you were not

leaned toward Mrs. Rosen.
elbow should I know YETI" Mrs.
Rosen tried to conceal her interest,
but nevertheless leaned forward ex-
pectantly.
ssWell, now, Mrs. Rosen, they call
themselves Walker" She paused for
a moment to allow the news to take
effect.
sWalker it is ?" queried Mrs. Rosen
disappointedly. ''Why should that
bother me?"
'sYou amt surprised?" asked Mrs.
Silverman. "The only thing I don't
know" she went on, "is how you get
Walker from Wolkevitch. Mine hus-
band, he knows so much in Jewish,
but he can't figure Walker from
Wolkevitch."
ssI guess you don't need to figure
it," Mrs. Rosen replied. She leaned
over the counter to make sure Mrs.
Silverman was not too interested in
the story to weigh the sugar cor
rectly.
"Maybe so," Mrs. Silverman con-
tinued. "That's not the only crazy
thing they do though"
"What else?" Mrs. Rosen now
seated herself on fruit box prepared
for a long tale.
Mrs. Silverman took a large breath.
She evidently knew she would need
it for her recital. "Well, you see,
Rosie Wolkevitch-- Excuse me,
Mrs. Rosen, such mistake shouldn't
make. It's Rosalind now, not Rosie"
ssWell, go on, maybe yet your Bes-
sic will call herself Elizabeth"
s'Mine Bessie stays Bessie, while
her father and I are alive" Mrs.
Silverman became slightly angered,
but continued her story. "Well, Rosie
gives a bridge party and invites mine
Bessie. She wants Bessie should come
home and tell me everything they got,
and that schlamiel does"
"Didn't you ask her nothing?" Mrs.
Rosen asked slyly.
"a few questions about what she
has to eat, but why should l care
what Mrs. Wolkevitch does? So,
Bessie comes home and tells me they
got big house with man in short
pants to open the door. Why short
pants, ask you Mrs. Rosen? Maybe
they spend so much on other things,
they can't afford to buy him long
ones. And, Mrs. Rosen, such things
as they got. Honest, think their
money made them meshuggah. Bessie
says they got man standing in a
corner in an iron suit. Can you
;yoooinn n They nav a man to stand
