"You got a mighty fine lady for q
wife just the same, ~Lefkovitch-a
mighty fine lady,"
"See, see, mama. there go some OF
the Portuguese who live here, right
past you"
A group of native ~riff-raff, bare
limbed and their brown backs still
~glistening from the dive, scuttled past
Don't look, Esther, 1 feel ashamed
enough. l tell you if | had known
what goes on in a town like this, right
on the boat where a young girl don't
need to be ashamed where she looks,
you would have stayed"
Mama, this isn't"
81 don't think it is so nice, Mr.. Dan
ziger, since you been here before, you
didn't first tell my daughter they go
around in this place worse as in bath
ing suits at stylish summer resorts
at home in America"
Mr.. Lefkovitch cast a thoughtful
squint after the group.

smart fellow with a few dollars to in

Wouldn't be surprised"
"1f l was a young fellow like my
son, Niche, right away in a town like
this in a furnishing goods business l
could make money"
y wouldn't be surprised"
"Cheap rents and low expenses To
sell pants to men who don't know
anything about them amt SO hard as
TO sell them to men what know too
much about them. l bet you, Dan
ziger, with a few thousand dollars,
two young fellows like you and my
son Niche, or his friend, Abe Katz,
could make big money in a town like

right in New York, where you built
up for yourself your WI business, is
good enough for him, too"

this time, Mrs. L%efkovitch, if you want
to take that trip up the mountain and
be back on the boat by three"
For scenery, Mr.. Danziger, | got
time when l got nothing else what is
m ore important. | guess, Aaron, if

at home, you want yet l should go up
on the mountain top to look at seen

'But, mama everybody goes up,
See, they're all going toward the

distance to look at linens. Honest, il
you're going to start that way, Il
Just wish | hadn't come"
"Ach come, Bertha; if the child
