ABSTRACT
AT last Purim was at hand, winter over, the beautiful spring-time ahead. Once more the boys looked forward to their games in the fields of an evening. Besides, Purim itself was a time of great enjoyment, when they could give way to their love of pranks and fun without fear of a scolding. Every Jewish child has a right to be in mischief at Purim, always provided he did no real damage and hurt no one-not that our boys would have done either on purpose.
