The "Gopher Gang" this name is commonly applied to all the loafers and thugs from 30th to 60th Street figured largely in the neighborhood gossip. An adventure which befell us on the second evening after our "opening" might have had very serious results. Early in the evening a gang of small boys gathered at the window outside to upbraid their sisters for not letting them come into the club.

An hour later when the girls were engaged in their club occupations, there came crashing through the window a weapon seven feet in length, which proved to be a gun with a bayonet attachment.

It struck the chair in which the teacher was sitting with such force as to chip the oaken back. Echoes of the Gophers occurred in the talk of the girls. At one of the first club meetings, a tall, attractive girl arose and proposed as a name for the club, the "Gopherettes. She told a club leader that she had once belonged to a club of girls called the "Gopherettes.

Later the club had moved to the dock, and she had not been allowed by her mother to go to its meetings. It must be borne in mind that the cantor combines both the artist and the religious functionary and that the ill-treatment to which he is often subjected not only debases his art, but also degrades his communal dignity. The trial performance, in its last analysis, is nothing else but a kind of petty graft indulged in by many of the congregations at the expense of the cantor.

A congregation has a vacancy to fill. Naturally, it will not engage a cantor without hearing him first.

The cantor does not receive any remuneration for the trial service. The congregation has lost nothing and consequently is in no hurry to consummate the bargain. The following Saturday another cantor is heard, on trial, and the process is repeated for many weeks. Taken in its entirety, the profession is thus losing thousands of dollars annually. The first time I tried lunching on a bowl of oatmeal and milk I began to experience a most uncomfortable sensation under my apron before three o'clock.

By five that sensation had become a sharp griping pain. The day following I tried soup. In the middle of the afternoon when Nora learned how I was suffering, she went scurrying around among the girls in various departments and returned with three gumdrops, which she made me eat. Without a doubt such a diet does produce pale faces and a predisposition to tuberculosis.

Experience taught me that it staves off the griping agony produced by hunger and standing on one's feet longer than any other food to be had in New York City for the same money. When a girl's wage is seven dollars a week, or less, 10 cents a day is all she can spend for lunch. Exchange Offer cannot be clubbed with Bajaj Finserv for this product.
