This will mark the first confirmation class of the Schonthal Community House to have' lield exercises at the house. ¦
Mrs. Morris Mandcl was very nervous. "It isn't as though we're used td con¬ firmations in oiir family," she. told her husband over the breakfast table. '-'And think of David . having, the valedictory/ too. I'll he SO'jumpy I wont hardly be able to sit through it while he's speak¬ ing."'.
Her, husband laughed good haturedly; "As though the boy didn't know his speech backwards," he assured her. "Didn't I.hear him go over it last night?. And withthat voice df his—why^ there won't be a dry eye in the Temple wheri he's through'"
"He's a born orator. I wonder where he get.-i it'from,". commented Mrs. Man- del thoughtlessly, then bit ¦ hor lip. with vexation. She seldom made such slips nowadays; but whenver she did^ ,it was like twisting a sharji knife in ah almost healed wound..
Her husband nodded, his round, rubi¬ cund face darkening a little as though he iihared hcr pain. The breakfast nook in which they sat was bright with sun¬ shine; the yellow, jonqtiils set exactly in the middle of the maderiu niat carried out the color scheme of the gay break¬ fast-pottery with cheerful exactness; the percolator bubbled' happily—it ' was a scene of perfect domestic happiness; yet a little dark cloud had suddenly crept past the, muslin curtains, fluttering in the warm bree/.c, and it wa.? hard to dis¬ pel it.
"It was around Shabuoth that he came to tis." Mrs. MatideV had lowr ered-her voice although she knew that neither the.maid nov Diivid, gone to call for his chum, Jack, on the way to the Confirmation exercises^ could hear her. She felt a little more, assured when she remembered that Jack came from one of. the very nicest Jewish fam¬ ilies on. the North .Side. The two boys already spoke of how they would, room together at Harvard. Yes, they had done well for. their D-ivid and, he rniglit hold up his head with the best of them, "But suppose that woman * * *", she told her husband, sliiver- ing a little in spite .of the sunshine ¦streaming in upon hcr head and shoul¬ ders.
Mandel threw down.his morning pa¬ per ; rose abruptly. "Don't let's spoil, David's confirmation worrying," he told liis wife. "She's ¦ never come around and she's not likely to. And if she did, David wouldn't believe her." In sudden angerl his clenche.d fist struck 4hc table. "I'd like to, see:_anylio<ly trying: to take David away frdmUis lioSy." vHannah, Mandel wiped her'^yes. A smart little woman cmth a blohde curly 'bob', people often told Her she looked scandalously young fo 'be-thti'iHoth'er of a son old erioiigh to be coiifirm^d. ' And she was particularly appealing:iwhen she cried. N.o wonder ,i^^er husbahd:?;bdnt to kiss ¦ her and pat cine of 'the' helpless- looking white hands now twisting the cord of her frivolous negligee..
"Don't, H?innah, don't cry," he pleaded ''Wait till you get to Temple," with grim humor. "You know the mothers don't'think it's a perfect confirmation unless they have a good cry."
"I know t'rii foolish," with a final dab. of her handkerchief. "Sitting here crying when I.ought to be dressing for Temple this minute.- But sometimes I get thinking about it, and if anything should happen        *   »"
"Now stop it,", he admonished her roughly.. "Nothing's going to happen and you know it. Didn't she say she was going West to live? Now'hurry np.aijd put on your new dress. I ivanl to see if it's worth half you paid for it; another bill like that, young wonian, and we'll be in the poor houst;."
THE U.J. F. LUNCHEON IS POSTPONED ON ACCOUNT OF BRONSTEIN'S DEATH
SPECIAL  NOTICE TO   MEMBERS OF THE EXCELSIOR CLUB
Due to the death of Mr. David Bron¬ stein, a member of the Excelsior Club, the affair to be held during the month of May will be postponed.
Remembe'r the regular weekly luncheon at the Southern Hotel, Wednesday noon.
Trying to smile,. Hannah hurried: to her roam to dress. A touch of rouge here, a fluff of powder there *     it was a .smiting little woman with no trace -of the morning's anxious . tears •whom Morris Mandel helped frdm their car.a half hour later, "Just in time," he commented, glancing down the Ave¬ nue  already  lined with  machines.
IJe patted her arm as they went up the broad, niarhlc steps together. This confinnation business was always hard on mothers,'he knew, even harder for. his sensitive, emotional little Hannah. He. was:glat\.he had forbidden a formal family dinner,, ah elaborate; home re¬ ception. The Jess emotional wtar and loar the better,.he thought complacently; the next momdnt he looked into Fanny Bregman's burning eyes.,
Fanny riiust have been waiting for theni beside one of the great columns of the entrance. The years had not.dealt as- kindly with her as with Hannah; not even hcr kindest friends would have said Fanny looked too young to be the mother of a son old enough to be; confirmed. Anxiety aild bitterness had cut cruel lines across her face; hcr figure growii heavy with ncgloct jooked, hopelessly middle-aged in the dress, pitifully tawdry, in its cheap, up-to-dateness, evidently purchased for the occasion if he had not seen his dwn happiness and- conifort hienaced, Morris Mamlel would have pitied her with all his heart.
Hannah had recognized her, he knew, from the'choking little cry she gave, clinging closer to his arm as though for the protection he could no longer afford .her.- Setting hig jaw lie tried to pass, but Fannie Bregman held out her hand, "i guess you know me, Mr. Mandel," shi said, her coarse voice discreetly lowered, "Anyhow,'', with, a cpritempuoiis nod for Haimahi "Mrs." MandeJ ain-t forgotten ¦ nie," ¦. ' ¦ ...-¦''.¦.¦
Mandel knew that-some of .his friend.s, coming up the steps,, were staring at them curiously.
"Come inside," he told the wonian, "and we can talk better there."
In one of the .empty class rooms Tie confronted her, tlie heavy-fa«ed wbmaii iri her.cheap finery. "No, I haven't for¬ gotten you," he, .told her. "But what; do yoii want around here, especially today?"
. "I   came   to/see   my   son   David   get confirmed."     ¦
A little choking gasp from Hannah, hardly a sob; Morris did not dare to look at her. He must play this game out alone. ,
"David isn't your son any more; he's ours." The man's voice was very .quiet and calm. No time now for .anger or threats. "He was only a baby when we adopted him so that you; could get a fresh starts We gave you enough money to jgo west. ' You ¦ promised 'liever to trouble u,s any more."
"I meant to keep away." Her hands in their cheap white gloves twisted in her silken lap. Without seeing them Motris knew, every .ring on his wife's fingers— solitaire engagement ring, platinum mar¬ riage band, the queer flaT emerali^ affair she ¦ had . hintefl for to make their tenth wedding anniversary a perfect -succesa, And Hannah's fingers were soft and white; likie the lilies in the fields of her forefathers she neither toiled nor spun, He remembered, qileerly enough, how Fanny's ^ands had looked that; evening in the bare little reception room of the home, where they, had sat discussing David's adoption. Even then they were ugly from scrubbing floors; that was how she had earned the baby's boar<l and her own. - -

TICKETS FOR PRODUCTION ARE SELLING HAPIDLY
Ml airangements are compictc for the . ¦ biggest event in the Hillel calendar, the' Hillel Players production of "He Who Gets Slapped," a- portrayal of an ironic cross-section   of   life   by. Leonid   An¬ dreyev.    This  play is undoubtedly, An¬ dreyev's   masterpiece  and   depicts with ¦ stark .reality the ignorance and bigotry ,, of   the   common  classes   of- the   early '¦'. nineties:,   Althoiigh.it is primarily Rus¬ sian, life and  written  from  a  Russian poiiit of view, the story, displays admir¬ ably the entire continental philosophyof    . life, from the embittered and tven icono¬ clastic: angle which   characterizes   An- : dreyev's   ^ork.     It  abounds in  satiri¬ cal and cynical expressions but .this .is not a  whit subyert'cd  hy the  brilliant picture of the'.t.ravelirig' continental cir- ciis'in whidi the .'scenes of the story are laid.   Tragedy and comedy stalk hand in     . hanti, pathos and  buiiior join, and the bromide of the "sublime to tbe ridicu:; louij" is given a true meaning.
The types are all. clear cut- and read-- ¦ ily-visualized  by an  audience; the bit¬ ter and sarcastic ,"He;" lovely, innocent. Cojisnelo;'Count ¦ Mancini,   the dilapiT'. date^r and   arrogant   nobleman;   Papa Briquet,   the   hard   and . matter-of-fact' manager of the circus; Baron Regiiard,, the sensual and repellent suitor of Con¬ suelo;   Bezano,  personification   of  phy¬ sical maculinity and virility; arid count- . Icss' others of, the circus ring'—all por:- tray vividly the  caustic realism  of the-- author.
Every character, from" tiie usher , to the'title role, has been; carefully re¬ hearsed, and no effort, has ibeen spared to present a meritorious ¦ prddtictipn; A Cfiach of iunusual dramatic power has ' been giving practically all of "her time' and experience to this play. Every char¬ acter was 'selected on a basis of type, and in many instances -several 1-oles were changed in the effort to select the . most suitable arid appropriate actor. Most of the cast has. Iiad ample experi¬ ence in histrionic interpretatioii and have rehearsed lopg enough to be able: to live the role assigned, to theiiK,, ,.,,i.^, (Cqntmited ott page 7)' ' :
