morning worshippers,
Yankele's mother was not at all
pleased with the idea—she wanted
her darling to sleep late and have
a good rest. But Yankele insisted
upon rising early and deviling with
the first Minyon, so that he (mold
afterwards go to hear the Chazan
in the big shut. So urgent was his
plea that his mother finally
yielded.
When the mother saw her lioy
yawning expansively, rubbing his
gluey eyelids, and casting furtive
glances at his warm bed, she was
sorry she had not strenuously pro-
tested against this cruelty.
But when, after a few hours,
Itch Bear and Yankele returned
from the synagoge, their faces
aglow with pleasure, the mother's
uneasiness was dispelled.
For Yankele's face fairly shown.
Ills features radiated the height
of happiness. And, indeed, had he
not reason to he glad? Now that
he had duvened, he had the rest
of the day to himself and could do
what he pleased.
Reb Bear's face also beamed
with happy contentment. But Reb
Bear's joy was modest and re-
strained; he was no impetuous boy.
However, as he stood at the win-
dow watching his neighbors hur-
rying to the synagogue, his face
involuntarily brimmed over with
pleasure.
"Father, let's go to Shul now."
"Not so hasty, son; we lill make
kiddush, have some refreshments,
and then we'll go."
"But, father, we won't find a
seat if we come late."
"A seat! That's a line thing to
talk about! A seat? We'll be
lucky if we reach the step leading
to the inner court, or, at least, the
vestibule. But don't worry; thank
God, we can hear his voice wher-
ever we stand."
"Has he got such a big voice?"
"You will know when you hear
him."
This laconic reply was enough
to whet the boy's curiosity, and
his impatience grew from moment
to moment.

Preferred by Traveling Salesmen and Detroit Citizens

Bigger and Better Rooms. wo Modern Sample Rooms, Instant Elevator
Service and Fine Rohm:ant Service at Popular Prices

The Detroit-Leland Hotel opened in April, 1927, and now is
second to none in the character of trade it attracts and is one of
Detroit's really successful and popular hotels. The traveling
public, as well as Detroiters, has found out that here you get a
dollar's worth of friendly service for every dollar expended, and
all in an atmosphere of home-like comfort.

The

Appointment

of

WILLIAM J. CHITTENDEN,

JR.

as manager of the Detroit-Leland, has been very gratifying to his many friends in

Detroit and among commercial travelers. Mr. Chittenden is one of the best known
of America's hotel executives and was formerly connected with the old Russell House
and later with the Pontchartrain.

The Detroit-Leland restaurants hare been a revelation of service to

Detroiters and hotel patrons generally. The main Dining Room service is

supplemented by the Coffee Shop, which is open from 6:30 a. m. to

sp.

m.

and the Fountain Room, which opens at Is a.m. and closes at midnight.

Yankele had now returned from
the Telz Yeshivah. There he had
heard many wonderful stories
about the chazon who had recently
risen to fame in Vilna, his birth-
place, and he was eager to hear
him. Rut Reb Bear was not one
to do things in a haphazard man-
ner.
"Today," said he with a serene
complacency and quiet emphasis,
"today is Shabbos."
Thereupon he made Kiddush
with painstaking deliberation, and
tasted some of the wine. "And
now," turning to his wife, "let us
have same of the wonderful Rzhi-
shnick."
Yankele understood very well
the meaning of such preparations
and inwardly fumed at the delay.
When Reb Bear had finished all
the preliminaries, had eaten, with
joyous tremor in his voice, and a
special intonation in the melody,
had shanted "AI Ilamichyah," he
arose and went with Yankele, who
already awaited him in the hall-
way, to the big Shul to hear and
enjoy the singing of the cantor.
This particular Sabbath was the
"Sabbath of Blessings" (Shabbos
Mevorchim), and as Rub Bear !al
his son drew near the Beth Mi-
thrash, they noticed that not only
was the interior of the building
packed, but that even the stairs,
vestibule, and court were chinked
with people.
Reb Bear and Yankele halted
just within the iron gate. They
managed to !squeeze in thus far,
and not an inch farther.
"It's just as I said," the boy
grumbled, "Now we must stand
outside, and hear nothing."
Suddenly the deep, sonorous
voice of Cantor Mintz swelled far
over the heads of the multitude,
and everyone stood rooted to his
place with gaping mouth, and ear
attuned to catch every note.
Ilis voice was heard at the
farthest end of the courtyard and
for a great distance beyond.
It did not suddenly break with
each word, but hung in the air,
gradually becoming softer and
fainter, until it died away in the
distance; even as a lofty column
of smoke issues from a chimney
on a bright wintry morning, and
winds its languid, leisurely way
upward, gradually becoming paler
and thinner until it vanishes among
its kindred the clouds.
Throughout the additional serv-
ice Yankele remained immovable,
not perceiving that the cantor in-
cited the prayers insteadof sing-
ing them. Only when he was
walking home with his father did
he begin to realize this.
"Father," he grumbled, "he did
not sing the additional service at
all! Ile only recited it! Can't he
sing Naaritzcho or Mishche'rach?"
"If you are not satisfied that be

father, with a trace of humor, "go

THE DETROIT-LELAND IS POPULAR

WILLIAM J. CHITTENDEN

Diners-out, men-about-town, shoppers and matinee devotees know
that the Detroit-Leland is a popular hotel. More than that, it is a
friendly hotel, where you are always assured of a welcome and treated
as an honored and welcome guest.
Much of this atmosphere of hospitality is due to the untiring efforts
of William J. Chittenden, Jr., the capable manager, whose genial per-
sonality finds expression in every department of this new, great,
Detroit hotel.
Mr. Chittenden, who was formerly manager of the Pontchartrain,
is probably the best known and best liked of all Detroit hotel men.
A hotel executive of long experience and great natural ability, he is
possessed of an individuality, a personality, that is pleasing to every-
one. Everybody who has met him once seems to consider him a friend.
No one ever refers to him or thinks of him merely as an acquaintance.
And so, with the physical advantages that were given to it by
Edwin A. Sweet, president of the Continental-Leland Corporation, and
who now calls the Detroit-Leland his home—and with the prestige
of Mr. Chittenden's genial personality—the Detroit-Leland has had
an unusual measure of prosperity. The many business men who dine
there every slay, shoppers, society women and the public generally
will watch its business continue to grow with sincere gratification.
