vonderful Jewish girl, but he thinks the poor
darling may have some strange illness called herpes."

 
After offering congratulations, Golda says to Ruth,
"So, Ruthie, do you have any idea vat is this herpes, and can our
Irving catch it?"

 
Ruth answers, "God forbid! But his Papa and I are just so happy to hear
about his engagement. You know ho!w veve
all vorried about him.
Its past time hes settled vith a nice girl. As far as the herpes goes, who knows "

"Vell...," Golda says, "I have a very fine medical dictionary, you know,
Ruthie. Ill just run home right now and look it up and call you."

 
So, Golda goes home, looks it up, and calls Ruth excitedly, "Ruth! Ruth!
