NEW YORK-
JEWISH
- IF
Aged Hebrew Seeking admission
F")R centuries it has been the
custom of certain old world
governments to ' confine the
Jewish population to definite
section of the cities where the
Jewish population has been large.
TheBe Jewish confines haye been
known as Ghettos. When the exodus
of Jews from Russia, from Poland,
from Roumania, and Hungary was at
Its height these old world Hebrews
took unto themselves that section of
me lower Kast side or New York
which lies east of the Bowery clear
down to the East river and In the
course of time this district became so
wellnlgh universally Jewish that the
"word Ghetto came to be applied to It.
It was in reality a veritable Ghetto,
comparable to the greatest Ghettos
of the old world, only vaster. It Is
till today a greater city of Jews than
the world has ever known. Accus
tomed through the centuries which
bave gone to be forcibly confined
within a given area, transplanted to
-the new world, where no such re
strictions have ever existed, these
people have yet adhered very large
ly to their traditional habits. Held
together not only by the bonds of
orthodoxy, but by the scars of ancient
political bondage, they have brought
with them not only their religion,
their racial traits and customs, but
the forms of life and habits which
their previous existence had imposed
upon them. It would seem a mis
nomer, perhaps, to characterize any
section of this wonderful city as "un
changing," but the Ghetto represents
more nearly unchanging New ' York
than any other.
8tret Merchant.
In the perspective of 80 yean, or
even 20 years,' the lower Bast side
has completely altered. Immigrants
from Great Britain and Ireland and
from Germany, who at that time prac
tically possessed this section, have
departed. Their exodus began with
the advent of the Jewish population.
'Certain streets were, however, re
tained by these nationalities until
very recently, but now even this old
guard has given up and the section
is altogether- Jewish, with -a slight
fringe of Italians. In other words,
the great orthodox Ghetto of ten
years ago Is the self-same Ghetto to
day, only more so. Here and there
a towering office building has taken
the place of a tenement house or a
ramshackle business building; cer
tain magnificent schoolhouses, the
largest in the world, have been erect
ed, but the drift of life through all
the old streets Is just the same. Push
carts line the streets to the Incon
venience and demoralisation of traf
fic, whole blocks of them, solid, In
certain streets, and on these carts
are displayed every conceivable ar
ticle of necessity to human existence.
At the corner of Essex and Hester
streets la the same old Jewish labor
market, where loiter, the workmen
-waiting to be employed, carpenters
with their saws and hammers, lock
smiths with their huge rings of keys,
plasterers, bricklayers, men of every
grade, representatives of every trade,
Standing hour after hour, and from
time to time bargaining, with a pros
pective employer over the price of
their time and their labor. The pea
nut stands, the old women peddling
strings of garlic and bags of onions,
the fruit venders p.nd the pickle mer
chants with their palls of luscious
CBTY

cucumbers, pickled apples and toma
toes, and down under the shadow of
the new bridge the fish women, whose
wares are exposed to all the dust
and dirt and filth that files through
this miserably uncared-for section of
the city.
On almost every corner and scat
tered through many blocks, are the
pavement soda water fountains, where
soda of many bright hues Is dis
pensed at one and two cents a glass.
The doorways are blocked by fat old
women, whose chief occupation In
life seems to be to sit with folded
arms and watch the kaleidoscope of
the street. Myriad children swarm
under foot, shouting back and forth
to each other, sometimes in Yiddish,
sometimes In English, usually In sen
tences of both tongues. r
Changing, Yet Changeless.
The very fact that all of this life Is
so precisely like the life of the East
side eight or ten years ago naturally
makes one curious to understand
what has become of the Influence of
the public schools, the playground
centers, the settlements, and all the
other Innumerable philanthropic char
itable and educational Institutions
which have been established there
for many years. As one walks through
the streets there are few, If any, evi
dences of progress. It Is still an or
thodox Jewry. Ten years ago thou
sands upon thousands of boys and
girls, young men and young women,
were looked upon as "Americans In
process." One naturally asks what
has become of the Americans or what
has happened to the process.
In the answer to this question lies
one more of the Interesting features
of this situation. The lower East
side Is In the nature of a great hu
man sieve. Here the Immigrants
come and locate immediately they
have landed, for in this Ghetto they
find a life In outward semblance sim
ilar to the life of the Ghettos they
have left In Europe. Every one
speaks Yiddish and consequently Ig
norance of English Is no drawback.
Jewish customs prevail. The pre-,
vailing atmosphere is Jewish. Here
they are at home. The schools, the
settlements, and the social centers
are open to their children, who are
never slow to avail themselves of the
advantages and opportunities offered
them. But as soon as the younger
generation has secured ever so slight
a foothold, they are seised with the
desire to move "up-town," so they go
to the Bronx, to East New York or
to Brownsville, making place for the
more recent arrivals from Europe.
Thus It Is that the East side while
composed of a different population, Is
still the same.
In certain respects the East side of
today Is a better East side than of
ten years ago. For one thing, there
Is less criminality of a serious char
acter. Formerly young boys, scarcely
out of school, took lessons from ex
perienced pickpockets and practiced
their trade among the throngs of the
East side streets and the Bowery and
on various crosstown cars which In
tersect the Ghetto. But a little time
ago an ordinance was passed which
made "Jostling" In a crowd a misde
meanor and a penal offense This
practically broke the backbone of the
pickpocket ring for Jostling Is essen
tial to the successful operation of
pickpocketing on the part of novice.
CHICKEN SERVED IN JELLY
Always Something New In the Prepa
ration of This Thoroughly Ap
preciated Summer Dish.
Roast a plump tender fowl, basting
to keep It tender. When cold remove
the skin and cut In very thin small
slices. Put the bones In a saucepan
with three cups of water and cook for
three hours, reduce to two and a half
cups. . Add one tablespoon each of
chopped onion, celery and carrot, one
sprig of parsley and thyme, a small
sprig of savory, one-half bay leaf, one
clove and six pepper corns. Cook for
ten minutes, strain through a cheese

tin In half a cup of the cooled stock
till soft Warm the remainder of the
stock and add the gelatin, stirring
well. Add one tablespoon of lemon
juice, heat to the boiling point, season
with salt and cayenne. Beat the white
of one egg till slightly foamy, add to
It gradually one cup of the hot mix
ture, then add the egg and stock very
gradually to the hot liquid; bring to
the boiling point, stirring constantly.
Remove to back of range and let stand
for half an hour, strain through a Jelly
bag and let cool. Select a round pan
that will be full when the chicken and
Jelly are added. Set the pan In ice
water and pour in enough of the Jelly
to cover the bottom. When this Is
hard decorate the surface with hard
cooked eggs sliced and cut In fancy
shapes; pour In more jelly, a spoonful
at a time, until the eggs are firmly
fixed, then add enough to make the
Jelly three-fourths of an inch thick.
When firm put in a layer of chicken,
cut In small thin slices, first dipping
them In a little liquid gelatin, then
add the Jelly a little at a time until
the mold Is full. If the mold la very
deep two layers of chicken may be
added. When the Jelly Is firm, turn
from the mold on a fancy platter and
garnish with parsley. It may be sliced
and laid on lettuce or grape leaves for
Individual plates. A boiled fowl may
be used In this way.
FUDGE AND WHIPPED CREAM
Delicacy Rich Enough to Tax the Di
gestive Powers of All but the
Very Young.
Fudge with whipped cream is a deli

half of brown sugar three cups Into
a saucepan, and add to this a cup of
milk, half a cup of butter, a pinch of

FOR WINDOW DRAPERY
TIME TO GIVE THOUGHT TO CUR
TAIN 8 IS NOW.
Material- Desired May Be Bought
Cheaper at This Season Than
Later Suggestions as to the
Best Color Schemes.
Now that autumn is approaching It
Is time to think of new curtains.
They may be purchased now at small
cost
For a living or dining room nothing
could be prettier than the green and
yellow scheme. If the walls are
green, brown or gray, have soft yel
low next the window and green to
cover the woodwork.
Soft yellow silk muslin hemstitched
is beautiful, but the same delicate
shade of cheesecloth will give exactly
the same effect Cheesecloth may
sound rather poor, but when hanging
at a window with the light back of It
nothing could be prettier, and certain'
ly nothing less expensive. Make the
curtains perfectly straight with a
wide hem. Put them on a brass rod
and they will hang softly, giving a
peculiar light that is unusually Bug
gestlve of mellow sunlight
Over the window frame a heavier
material is necessary. For all living
rooms cretonne or English chintz in
yellow and brown tones' 1b pretty but
cotton poplin is no more expensive
and much more elegant and artistic.
Poplin can be purchased in all shades
of green, brown or red, and is a good
substitute for velours in winter, as
It looks quite as warm, and, unlike
velours. It need not be made by an
expert to look well.
Outside drapes should be cut
straight, the same as those next the
window, using a width for each side.
Hem across the bottom and attach the
other end to a rod, or tack to either
side of the window frame, as they will
not be drawn, but left to hang plain at
the sides. Across the top of the win
dow a valance is good. Cut the pod-
Un In half lengthwise, making a cas
ing, with heading, and have It twice
as wide as the window. Run the rod
through the casing.
For a bedroom white cheesecloth is
advantageous. Cheesecloth washes
like linen, always looks fresh, appar
ently never wears out and In colors
never seems to fade. Pink In a deli
cate shade is also pretty for a bed
room, as the light has a way of shin
ing through it which Is very alluring,
almost like a sunset glow.
Inside curtains of cretonne may be
made of a width of the material less
the width that is taken off for the
pleating. Make box pleats about two
Inches wide and the same distance
apart, stitch and put around the sides
and bottom of curtains, also on the
valance. Hang them the same as the
other curtains.
The beBt quality of cheesecloth In
all colors can be bought for ten cents
a yard, and silk muslin and cotton
poplin at 25 cents.

with the egg-beater beat the yolks for
five minutes when they will be thick
and creamy. Then beating all the
time with beater, gradually pour In
one cup granulated sugar. Beat until
sugar and eggs form a cream light
and foamy. Then add one-half tea
spoonful of lemon or vanilla. Last
of all add one cup of pastry flour, sift
ed three times, with saltspoon of Bait
In It Fold In the flour very carefully
with a spoon. Turn Into a buttered
and well-floured tin and bake a pretty
golden brown. In cutting for the
table crease each piece deeply and
then break To cut sponge cake spoils
the grain and makes it seem heavy.
There Is no rising In this cako except
the eggs. But you will find It all
right and most delicious cake.
Move the Carpet
Every now and then. Instead of al
lowing the stair carpet to remain In
exactly the same position as first
placed, the tread of the carpet should
be moved a couple of Inches or so
either up or down. This has the
effect of keeping the pile of the carpet
In a uniform condition, and, besides
retaining the fresh appearance of the
carpet It helps it to last much longer
than It would If left exactly as laid.
It costs nothing to do this, yet saves
much.
Dust Cloths.
Any soft cloths that do not have
linty . surfaces are good for dusting
purposes. Soak the cloths in a mix
ture of gasoline and kerosene, hang
up to dry In the air, repeat two or
three times and you will have a
splendid cleanser. Be careful, how
ever, not to have the fluids near the
fire, as they are highly inflammable.
For Discolored Enamelware.
To keep white enamelware looking
new, scouring It occasionally with
plain vinegar Is very good.
