PACE THREE THE DETROIT JEWISH CHRONICLE With Downcast Eyes lied the Cull of IL In the olden times a Jew named Yachiel :Michael kept all inn in a little village near Prague. The squire of that village was a wealthy noble- man—a count, whose innkeeper was likewise a man of no mean estate, a :Ilan of many good deeds who spent a great deal of his tummy in Prague —a man of learning who visited there the rabbinisch head of the yeshiba, of whom lie bought matzoth and other provender for holidays. On his sojuorns he asked the holy man to pray that a male heir he born unto him. The rabbi, knowing the ileere of Providence, refused, b to com,_, fort the petitioner h ai Save up e dowry focyot dau liter, and then come to the and I'll it a de- sirable son-in-law r you." With this pledge to comfort him, l'achiel Michael returned home. He had two daughters, so lie began laying up dowries, first for the elder one and then for the younger. In default of a son, lie looked forward to having a great scholar for a son-in-law. God prospered hint, and when he had hoarded up five hundred florins he said to Dvoshe, his wife: "The time is ripe for marrying off our eldest, Nachoma." Dvoshe fell in with the plan and they began to figure—three hundred florins for the dowry and two hundred for the bride's outfit. gifts and wedding expenses. And, further, they vowed a feast to the poor that Prague would long remem- ber. But there were delays; the squire sent his innkeeper on far-o& errands, then snowfalls came and blocked the road, the summer was a troubled one, then the holidays ar- rived and Yachiel Michael could not leave the inn.

Now Nachoma, the innkeeper's dd• est, was really worthy of a husband from the Prague yeshiba. She was a shy beauty and a kindly soul. tier goodness shone through her calm eyes—an obedient daughter and a pious one. She observed the ritual, lit the candles, read prayers—in sort, a woman worthy of the bridal can- °PS'. With the youngest daughter, things went a little wrong—just a little— nothing touch to speak of. She was a strange, pensive creature, with drooping eyelids, walking white-faced, as if in a dream. When anyone call- ed her it was like a summons from another world; she would tremble and almost fall. And when she looked up with strangely intent eyes, one felt uncomfortable under her gaze. There was also'a sinister suggestion about her doings. It was impossible to get her away front the inn, espe- cially at night when there was sing- ing and dancing. For hours at a time she would sit and watch the peasants making love to their sweet- hearts, dancing, whirling about and singing their chants. When she was dragged off to bed to sleep with Nachoma she would close lice eyes until she knew her sister to hi. asleep, then jump out of bed, barefoot, and peep through the keyhole or a crack in the wall. If, perchance, her mother would catch her at it awl drag her away. her body would burn as if fever-stricken, her eyes shot soarks. and Dvoshe, fright ., toed. would run back to Yachiel Michael and tell hint about it. "If only we were permitted," Inc sighed, "to marry off the younger first!" "W'si ought to ask about this," an- swered Ds oshe. Meantime the fol- lowing things came to pass.

It is an Ideal Car for Business as Well as Pleasure The wide business uses for which the Essex Roadster is adapted are instantly apparent. Its utilities are many. But note no evidence of them is revealed when the Roadster is used as a pleasure car. Every line is smart, trim and graceful. It takes but a moment to make rz- ie change. A World Endurance Record Proves Essex Dependability A large class of its buyers are business men. They choose it for utility and dependable transportation. It becomes, in fact, a part of their business system. It must be on the job, keep all engagements on time, and be as re- sponsible as an engineer's watch. These same qualities, with its rare good looks, make the Roadster unsurpassed as a smart car for pleasure. Economy, durability and train-like regu- larity are the standards set by Essex. These things have been shown in the hands of more than 25,000 owners. It was more dramatically proved on the Cincinnati speedway, when an Essex stock chassis set the world's long distance endurance record of 3,037 miles in 50 hours. The same car, in three separate tests, traveled 5,870 miles at an average speed above a mile a minute. Another stock Essex set the world's 24-hour road mark of 1,061 miles over snow- covered Iowa roads. It is specially suited for salesmen, inspectors and others who must cover wide territory, quickly and frequently. Though not large, the Essex is commodious. There is plenty of room for passengers, and special arrangements for carrying sample cases, unseen, and even a trunk if desired. Come see the Essex Roadster. Ride in it. Try its paces. Whether you want it for busi- ness or pleasure, you will appreciate why Essex in its first year set a new world's sales record.

Has my Mal- kah—God forbid!--a sin upon her soul? She is a child, a young sapling, and whichever way she will be bent—" "I didn't say that she has sinned. But consider; suppose I were to choose for your youngest a youth from the yeshiba—that is to say, a youth poor in this world's goods. What would it profit you? A student of the Torah, Ile would sit and study. . . . . You are not going to take them into your home in the village?" "Of course not. Not as long as the young squire is there." "Well, then you will have to leave them in Prague. You will hire a lodg- ing for them and leave them, and send them money to live on. What will the young couple do? The husband will sit in the House of Learning day and night, and she, the young bride, what will she do? What thoughts will she think? In what land of dreams will she roam about?" "You are right," admitted Yachiel :Michael, hoarsely. "What, then, shall I du?" "Whatever is hest," answered the rabbi, "and I shall help you to marry her off properly. I myself shall send for a marriage broker and tell him where to go. He must go to a house where the are many people, reputable and well off, but. somewhat indulgent. When you will come to me about your other daughter you stall get what I promised you— a great scholar worth his weight in gold. Meanwhile, marry off the younger." V. And so it came to pass. The inn- keeper kept his counsel and secretly arranged a fine match for Malkah. And Malkah knew nothing of the whole matter until the very last min- ute. She did not know why she was clad in costly clothes and why she seas awakened early one morning and led away. to Prague. But when she perceived at last what it all meant site uttered not a word. tier outward conduct was blameless throughout. She was a little pale, to be sure, and her eyes were always lowered- but what of that? The good God had created her thus, and made her beau- tiful. She never took a step without her mother-in-law; never asked for anything; ate whatever was given her; put on whatever dress they chose for her. Neat and silent, and lovely. When she went out in her Sabbath finery, the women whispered after (contInues on Page 4) In these days of Furs, think how incomplete is the Spring Costume without a smart Cape, Scarf or Choker in Hudson Seal, Mink!
