"I likes," faltered Yetta; "I likes I should be monitor off of flowers." "But Nathan Spiderwitz takes care of the window boxes. He won't let even me touch them. Think what he would do to you." "Then I likes I should be monitors to set by your place when you goes by the Principal's office." "But Patrick Brennan always takes care of the children when I am not in the room."
The members of the Cigarette Makers' Union pay a weekly due of 5 cents for the support of a sanatorium in Colorado for tubercular tobacco workers. Yetta contributed to this sanatorium and gave a 10-cent monthly fee for Union agitation. She estimated the cost of her clothing at about $82 for the year. A winter suit cost $14; a spring suit, $15; a summer dress, $5; and a winter dress, $18.
Kalmanovitch's fire-flashing eyes, and my efforts to entertain her daughter were a poor performance The Kalmanovitch family left immediately after supper, scarcely making their farewells. Portentous sounds came from the hallway. We could hear Mrs. Kalmanovitch's angry voice. A nervous hush fell over the parlor. Auntie Yetta gave us all an eloquent wink
She was small, wiry, her head too large for her body; but the abounding nervous vitality, the harsh fire that burned in her large brown eyes, and the firm mouth would have attracted the attention of the most careless. Her mask, with its high Slavic cheek-bones and sharp Jewish nose, proclaimed her a magnetic woman. In her quarter on the far East Side the children called her "Aunt Yetta."
Kalch, or Auntie Yetta, the gaunt, childless woman of the solemn countenance and the gay disposition, of the huge gold teeth, and the fingers heavily laden with diamonds. I had not seen her for months.
"No, she don't thinks you is greedy. Ain't you monitors on the back of her waist? You should come up here 'fore the childrens comes for see how her buttons stands. You go und tell her you needs that paper." Very diplomatically Yetta did. "Teacher," she began, "buttoned-in-back-dresses is stylish fer ladies." "Yes, honey," Miss Bailey acquiesced, "so I thought when I saw that you wear one."
"Miss Bailey is a awful nice Teacher," she began one afternoon. "I never in my world seen no nicer teacher. On'y she's fancy." "I seen how she's fancy," Yetta agreed. "She's got her hair done fancy mit combs und her waist is from fancy goods." "Yes, she's fancy," Eva continued. "She likes you should put you on awful clean.
Yetta waved her long and beautifully shaped hands they were her solitary vanity. The audience became still.
She gathered the buttons, extracted numerous pins from posts of trust in her attire, and when Miss Bailey had returned to her chair, gently set about repairing the breach. "What is it?" asked Miss Bailey. Yetta, her mouth full of pins, exhibited the buttons. "Dear me! All those off!" exclaimed Teacher. "It was good of you to arrange it for me. And now will you watch it?
If you ever run away again I shall have to keep the promise I made to you long and long ago when you used to come late to school. I shall have to tolerate you." But Yetta was undismayed. "I ain't got no more a scare over that," said she with a soft smile towards the brass-buttoned person behind the blotter.
