HOLLAND AGOG WHEN PRINCESS MAKES LOVE TO YOUNG JEW
Juliana, 15, Won by Voice of Cantor In Synagogue of Amsterdam
The fifteen-year-old Princess Juliana, daughter of Queen Wilhelmina of Holland, has fallen a victim to a flapper passion for a Jewish cantor of Amsterdam. Court diplomats and leaders of the realm have not been so terror-stricken since the day Holland decided to stay out of the war.
Princess Juliana had gone to Amsterdam during ber holiday from school, a<�oaipafiied by a lady-in-waiting. Endowed wit* ywttfol carioaity, afae *v.vi3a- f *� . .'
Social Life about 25 Years Ago-
Do You Remember?
Toronto Literary held a discussion led by A. Wertheim on "Are Magazines Beneficial?" A hop followed. Toron-tonians were expressing the belief that they would never have a "really progressive congregation until the believers in reform had a temple of their own." Mrs. Ansell gave a whist party for Mr. and Mrs. J. Miller. Mrs. S. Lorie, Sherbourne Street, gave a party for a niece from Montreal, and S. Lyons was one of the prize-winners.
The first synagogue in New Brunswick was consecrated at St John. S. Hart Green read from the Bible and Rabbi Nieto, New York, entered with the Seohar-torah followed by Rabbis Garrovitch and Tobkin, and J. Komiensky, J. Myers,
G. Jacobson, Max Wener and M. Odle. The three sepharim were placed in the ark by A. Isaacs, I. and D. Komiensky. The president was Abraham Isaacs, of the Ahabath Achim Society which, with help from Jews in New York, Montreal and Toronto, started the synagogue.   Other officers were
H. Webber, D. Komiensky, 0. Silverstein, H. Gesneo, E. Carter, B. Myers and I. Komiensky. The oldest Jew in St. John was S. H. Hart, who came there in 1864. Nathan Green and H. N. Levy, his brothers-in-law, were the next settlers.
A Zionist demonstration was held in Karn Hall, Montreal. Dr. David Hart presided. Other officers were Lazarus Cohen and L. Arronson. Arthur Rosenstein, son of Rev. Rosenstein, played a grand march on the organ. Moses Shapira recited a Hebrew ode. Miss Ray Cohen, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Cohen, was married to Archie H. Jackson, of Detroit, in the McGill College Avenue Synagogue. A banquet followed at the residence of the bride's father who was para ass of the synagogue.
escaped from her chaperon and wandered into a synagogue where Gabriel Aiaro, a widower of thirty with two children and eyes and hair that would put Valentino to shame, was chanting the services.
The Princess was thrilled, so much so that she returned the next day and the next. She sought to disguise herself as a pious Jewish girl and managed to intercept the cantor when services were over. She told him how his voice had been an inspiration to her and intimated that she would adore the role of best pal and severest critic.
But, alas, the man who guarded the synagogue doors was one of those suspicious natures that make the world so difficult for temperament and romance. He didn't believe the enthusiastic girl was Jewish�in fact he recognized her from newspaper pictures, which his job as doorkeeper gave him ample opportunity to study.
This evil genius of young love communicated with The Hague. Court emissaries descended upon the Princess Juliana and dragged her home. She protested that she and she alone must help the cantor study so that a new Caruso might be given to the world. But Queen Wilhelmina sniffed and placed her daughter under the surveillance of an army of tutors.
The whole story has been common knowledge in Holland and has been verified, but no newspaper throughout the land has yet dared to  print it.
