was in the public schools of Roch-
ester and in the University of
Rochester from which she gradu-
ated in 1917. Subsequently she
taught English for three years in
the Rochester School for the Deaf.
In 1920 she married Rabbi Baruch
Reuben Weilerstein, for the past
thirteen years spiritual leader of
the Community Synagogue of At

STEMS have been blessed with four
children, one son and three daugh-
tiers, and Mrs. Weilerstein's stories
were written primarily for her
own children.
Mrs. Weilerstein is very active
in the work of Hadassah and is
member of the National Board of
the Women's League of the United
Synagogue. Besides What Danny
Did and The Adventures of K'TOn-
ton she has written a number of
playlets, children's verse and
Zionist Pageant The Awakening.
The title Of this latest storybook
derives from the fact that Mrs.
Weilerstein takes the young read
er round the Jewish year, stopping
off to tell a little story about ev-
cry significant occasion. Such a
story, however, is always told
from the point of view of an
American Jewish child. Rosh
Hashanah as the anniversary of
Creation is an adult concept; but
Rosh Hashanah as the Worlds
birthday and the glistening stars
as representing the candles appro-
pirate to it is an idea to appeal to
any child's imagination. Purim
as a commemoration of anti
Semitism is adult and lugubrious;
Purim as a day of fun and food
and masquerading for the children
and their dolls has more positive
meaning for the Jewish child. In
the same manner and with extra
ordinary skill and insight every
holiday is presented so that a
child is bound not only to grasp

What The Moon Brought

The appearance of new juvenile
book from the expert pen of Mrs.
Sadie Rose Weilerstein is always
good news. She is among the
very few who have succeeded in
presenting old material in a strik-

dactic without losing charm. This
was proved in her previous juve-

worthy of mention, because Mrs.

M. M. 5. | have written you many
times before for your helpful adj
vice. My husband was locked up
for non-support of his baby. He
is out of jail now. He hates the
baby. He told me if | could find
a home and put the baby in it, he
would pay the bills. Do you think
this is the best way to handle my
problem? He says we can take
the Child back in about years.
Ans: 1t would be both inhuman
and indecent for you to put your
child IN a home for children and
shift the responsibility to someone
else. Money isn't the factor in
this case. youi two appear to
bye too irresponsible and frivilous
to assume the duties Of parenthood
My suggestions for you to have
some good nurse to come in and
look after the child if you two can
not find the time to devote to
your child. If this arrangement
doesn't appeal to you, you could
put the child in day nursery,
until you and your husband reach
some definite decision about your
future.
0. S. W. | am in brief, The girl
that | raised is planning to marry
Sc is young, and | do not want
her to marry, want her to go to
school and get prepared to go out
into the world before she takes
on the responsibility Of a man and
five children. Please tell me what
to do to- stop this marriage.
Ans: To forbid the girl to mar
~ this man will make her the
more determined to have her way.
This situation calls for tact and
diplomacy. Ask her to grant you
one favor to postpone the
marriage for six months. During
that time, try to give her a first
rate impression of what it would
! he like to take on self made
family. Invite the five children
to your home to spend couple
If weeks. After she gets a good
dose of changing diapers and wip-
ing dirty noses, IL won't take her
long to change her mind,
c. A. My husband is bad about
drinking and wasting a lot of
money on whiskey. He loves to
go out and keep late hours, and
have big time with women. And
as you know the women he goes
with try to bull-dose me. What
must ! do7
Ans: There is no reason for you
to allow your husband and his lady
friends to emharrass you in your
own home. He has succeeded
thus far to impose on your good
disposition and he feels that
he can get away with anything he
tries. It's time for you to stand
up for your rights. If he has to
have lady friends put him out.
Have him make his choice once
and for all. / assure you that
none of his so-callcd lady friends
would put up with the insults he
hands you.

ed about making the change. Adj

Ans. You have no assurance tina
this new job is to be permanent
You can be comparatively sure ct

there five years. On this present
job you have received several small
promotions and have been able to
