"Give a lot in life and you will
receive q lot" This is the advice
of Mrs. Helen Brylawski OF 1918

devoted more than a half century
Of life to "practicing her preach
ings," through membership in the
National Council Of Jewish Women
and Hadassah and, in the last few
years, through the Jewish Women's
Unit of the District Chapter Of the
American Red Cross.
Mrs. Brylawski, who is IT years
young" enjoys life to the utmost
and reflects her Joy of living and
happiness by the expression OF her
kindly blue eyes. She started her
giving" many years ago, when as
a member OF the Council Of Jewish
Women in Baltimore, she aug
mented the home teaching and oc-
cupational work for crippled chill
dren at time when the city made
no provision for such work. Later,
when she came to Washington,
where she has made her home for
the past SO years, she continued
her work for others as an active
member of various Jewish groups,
handing on her enthusiasm and
energy to her daughters, Mrs. Mark
Lansburgh and Mrs. Alexander
Wolf, who are active in a number
Of the local organizations.
Her hands crocheting medallions
for bedspread, Mrs. Brylawski
confided some of the secrets of her
extraordinary activity and her
philosophy Of life, acquired, she

and optimism.
I'm happiest most when I am

and so many things interest me
Knitting, needlework, cards, reading
and my family" AS Mrs. Brylaw-
skis family includes members Of
four generations, one can UNDER
stand the extent of these interests.
as 1t true that you have knitted
over 100 sweaters for the Red Cross
in the past four years." Mrs.
Brylawski was asked.
"Yes," she replied, continuing her
crocheting, hastily adding, but
they were sleeveless sweaters only,
which are not difficult to make"
twenty-five sweaters in one year,
whether sleeveless or not, appeaped
remarkable to one who required a
summer to finish baby sweater
after much ripping and dropping Of
stitches. Mrs. Brylawski's deftness
at knitting appears even more note
worthy when she tells you that the
sweaters she makes for the Red
Cross are so simple I can knit
them with my eyes shut"-a literal
statement. Moreover, she rarely
counts stitches when she knits-only
when she perls.
She Never Tires.
During the war, Mrs. Brylawski
knit dozens of garments for the Red
Cross and since that time the num-
Der OF articles which she has knitted
for charity and as gifts for friends
and family are counted In the
hundreds.
Tired? No, I'm never tired" she
said. Il don't have time to get tired.
as I never let myself be idle"
Tapestry work also interests Mrs.
BrylaWski and several fine bits Of
petit point were seen about the room
on chairs, cushions and stools, mute
testimonials to the hands which
were never allowed to be idle"
Mrs. BrylaWski is the type of per-
son who will never grow old, as she
progresses with each generation, en-
joying life with an ageless enthu-
siaSm.
Although close to the homes of her
children and grandchildren, Mrs.
Brylawski lives alone except for her
colored maid, who has been with
her throughout her long residence
in Washington.
1T is large house for one alone"
she agreed, but love my home and
like to have 1t ready for my family
and friends to come to whenever
they wish to come"
