THE MEMOIRS OF GLUCKEL OF HAMELIN.
Translated by Marvin Lowenthal.—Harper & Bros.
Let the average housewife write of her
family life and if the critics claim it a
“contribution to literature,” it will be be
cause of some public-appealing note, some
timely episode , or having the right
“twist.” Ordinary narratives of the home
would hardly reach the first base with
the publishers, yet we find this simple
and refreshing autobiography written by a
pious Jewish housewife living in Ger
many in the 17th century, a fine product
of literature of the period, dealing with
the manner of living at that time. It is
the diary of a woman who had no
thought of being an authoress, who wrote
to beguile the monotonous hours of night
when business cares and worries robbed
her of sleep, as well as to remind her
children from what sort of people they
have sprung.
Gluckel von Hameln was not the only
woman of her day who wrote, but she
was the only one of her class. Others at
tached to a court or who lived luxurious
lives wrote sonnets and sweet verses and
rondeleys, but here we find a measure of
daily sustenance, a tempo of joy and sor
row, but withal the tone of divine faith.
'I'lie story of her life is that of one of
the countless millions whose joys and sor
rows grew out of marriages, births and
funerals, whose concern was for her home
and children and the making and losing
of money. She bore her husband thirteen
children and helped him carry on a jewel
trade with contacts in Germany, Poland,
Holland and Denmark. After his death
she continued his business, and when she
had dowered and married off her chil-
(quests from Afar.

dren, she married the foremost banker of
Lorraine. But her vision of a peaceful
old age was shattered when he went
bankrupt two years later and died in
poverty. Piety and shrewd worldliness
combined with a quaint and ironical
sense of humor tend to give to the pages
of the translation a seasoned dish of
reading.
Increasingly aware of the growing in
terest among American readers in Jew
ish literature, life and thought, Harper
& Brothers are embarking upon the sys
tematic publication of substantial books
on Jewish subjects. The Memoirs of
Gluckel of Hameln have long been known
to the literary world, but have never
before been translated into English. Two
copies of the book were made by her de
scendants; both copies remained for a
century in the possession of her family.
The original manuscript is now lost, but
both copies are intact, one in the hands
of a private citizen of Frankfurt and the
other in the city library. Two hundred
years after the memoirs were completed
Dr. David Kaufman published them in
the original German and there are now
in existence two German and one par
tial Hebrew translation.
Fatuous Violinist to
Flay in Atlanta
Of wide interest is the announcement
by the Atlanta League of Women Voters,
of the presentation of Albert Spalding,
world famed violinist, on November the
15th, at the Wesley Memorial Hall in
Atlanta. 'Phis will be Spalding’s only
Southern appearance this year, and a
large number of reservations have
already been received by the League,
from the music-lovers in Atlanta, and
vicinity, who are anxious to take ad
vantage of this opportunity of hearing
Spalding, said Mrs. Sinclair Jacobs,
president of the League.
Acknowledged on both sides of the
Atlantic as one of the greatest violinists
in the world today, Albert Spalding has
steadily climbed the ladder to the heights
which he has reached today. Six months
of the year he tours his native America,
crowding as many concerts into that brief
space of time as possible, the other half
of the year, Spalding plays in Europe,
where he is more popular, and has a
laiger following than any other Ameri
can artist.
Spalding’s last appearance in Atlanta
was in 1926, when he played to a capacity
audience. Last year he played in Colum
bus, Ga., where he was given a tremen
dous ovation by several thousand music-
lovers who attended his concert.
So that the thousands of music-lovers
in the South may have an opportunity
hearing this great artist, admission
of
has been kept within the reach of all. The
first four lows of the orchestra will be
$2.50, the next six, $2.00, and the last
six, $1.50. Balcony prices in the first
balcony are, $2.50 for the first two rows,
and $1.50 for the remainder.
Reservations may be made now by
sending checks, or money orders to the
offices of the Atlanta League of Women
Voters, 74 Whitehall St., Atlanta.
