and heart and our higher ideals,
that child to whom we owe so
infinitely much—well, you now
see the result of my appreciation
of this great privilege and honor !
"We all touch life at a different
angle—we all see persons and
conditions with different eyes. In
every human soul there is a vision
—a longing for something better
in the future.
"It's merely a question of one's
point of view ! Thus 'twas no
wonder that many and varied
were the viewpoints expressed at
the determination of those few
brave women to band together for
the purpose of bringing into life
a Jewish \Vonian's Club—the first
time in the history of Detroit that
Any effort had ever been made to
band all the Jewesses of our city
into a Sisterhood of Women !
"On all sides were freely heard
words of discouragement—but un-
daunted, those few brave souls, en-
couraged by our then Rabbi, Dr.
Grosmann, and led by our revered
and beloved Mrs, Bernard Gins-
berg, took many slights and dis-
couragements— which but strength-
ened the courage of our convictions
that we woidd a'in in our sincere
endeavor to better the mental,
moral, educational and industrial
status of every Detroit Jewess.

Amidst a scene of splendor,
with many impressive ceremonies
and words of profound eloquence,
the Jewish Woman's Club of De-
troit celebrated its twenty-fifth
anniversary last Tuesday evening
at the Phoenix Club. The 700
members and their guests who
were present spoke volumes for
the usefulness of the organizatiOn
and the great place it was filling
in the hearts of Detroit's Jewry.
The anniversary festival, like
some charming allegorical tale,
told of the life and experiences of
Miss Jewish Woman's Club from
the moment of her birth, some
twenty-five years ago to the pres-
ent time. First, there came her
birthday cake, a masterpiece of
the baker's art, as huge as it was
remarkable, with twenty-five
candles on its top, drawn by two
dozen of beautiful maidens and
presented to Mrs. Charles C. Si-
mons by Miss Friedenberg, the
president of the Junior League.
Then were read the clever wire-
less telegrams, conveyed by spe-
cial messenger to the president
from Mrs. J. H. Ehrlich, their
writer, who was in charge of the
wireless plant. After the birth-
day wishes had been given, Rabbi
Leo M. Franklin rendered an im-
pressive invocation in honor of
the occasion.

existence. Her debutante days,
when, in the words of the toast-
mistress, "she was standing at the
threshold of her social career after
her many and varied experiences,"
were delightfully depicted by Mrs.
Henry Fechimer in a delightful
vein of humor. Mr. Charles C.
Simons told of Miss Jewish Wo-
man's Club's men friends, "for she
is too many sided to have confined
her friendships to women alone,
but has formed priceless friendships
among the men.as well. Mrs. Sid-
ney S. Wineman rendered a pro-
phesy of the fulfillment of her
visions. And Miss Golda M. Gins-
burg spoke eloquently on "Her
Children," of her great, happy fam-
ily.

The banquet was followed by a
delightful entertainment, "An Eve-
ning at the Opera," whose success-
ful presentation is a high tribute to
the able efforts of rs. Jacob G.
Brown, who directed it. Mr. Fred
Butzel, who was transformed for
the evening into Professor Fred

Butzenoff of linguistic renown,
acted as interpreter and introduced
to the audience each of the par-
ticipants. Mrs. S. Lachman, or, as
the program reads, Mine. Silver
Lachmaninov, was the accompanist.
The cast consisted of Alice Neilson,
Geraldine Farrar, Alma Gluck,
Melba, Mine. Schumann-Heink and
other similar notables who in pri-
vate life and on occasions other than
last Tuesday night, are unassuming
Jewish women of Detroit and mem-
bers of the Jewish 'Woman's Club.
