A story from Ethel...

In 1908, the Selmonsky family moved back to Brooklyn.  Times were tough.  They had four children, and the youngest was only nine months old when Pauline found out that she was expecting again.

While Pauline was worried about feeding and clothing everyone, she knew that when she shared the news with Philip, his reaction would be "Wonderful."
