THE HOP
began about ten o'clock. Some sixty |
couple we're in attendance, embracing
the fashion and beauty of our Hebrew
friends, and many American guests
were also present. The toilettes CT the
ladies were rich and costly; diamonds
sparkled in great profusion, and all
was mirth and jollity.
THE BANQUET.
At twelve o'clock the guests assem-
bled around the festive board to dis
cuss the magnificent spread before
them. Never in Dallas have we seen
80 elegantly arranged tables Mr.. M.
Ullman, the president Of the Bnai
Birth Society here, presided at the
head of the table. The first toast was
given by him, "Our Order; District of
Dallas, Lodge No, 1871 and was re-
sponded to in most eloquent manner
by our old friend and honored citizen,
Mr. ID. Goslin rs follows;
He wished that he had the tongue
of n Demosthenes to explain the mis-
sion of B'nai BIRTH, sons of the cove
nant, brotherly love, benevolence and
harmony. He cited the institutions
created by the order. There We're no
widows left unprovided for. The in
stitution as B'nai Birth has only ex-
istei thirty years, but it has really ex.
listed for all time. 1t is their mission
not only to be benevolent to their own
people, but to all manklnd--Jew or
Gen tile. Brotherly love Ia not confined
to individuals OF the order, but to all the
world. The Jews of olden time have
striven for harmony for ages. 70 be a
lew at one time was to have the heel
Of the oppressor on their neck, and u
slavery worse than the negro. The
sight Of Jews and Gentiles together at
one festive board, could not be seen
fifty years ago The order has taught
the world that the Jew has rs big u
heart to love and forgive AZ anyone.
1t is the order of B'nai Birth that has
done it, and thus it's Oldest child in
Texas has done much for it. Men
would come thirty miles to see a Jew,
and be astonished that he was like
other men, but here this joyful assem-
blage is due to Bnai Birth. Mr.. Cos
lin then proposed the toast to the
"ladles." Mr.. Seymour Myer was
then called to respond, which he did
az follows:

and pleasure that respond to Mr.. q. q
sentiment-"Ladies." Who cannot
feel their charming influence, EN- blem.
attic of all that is tender and gentle, D
synonym of goodness, bringing with
them and distributing wherever they
glide beams of sunshine and happi-
ness. 1t is hardly necessary for me to
dwell upon their noble attributes in
their different spheres, but as we look
at the mother-s who day and night
forever watches the interests Of her
family, the molder of her children's
character; or the wife, the counselor
and comforter of her husband, we feel
that to the ladies do we owe homage.
Womanhood, pure and true, in all ages
has surrounded us will all those gen.
tie and ennobling influences which
inspire us to deeds of greatness and
valor. They are our comfort In adj
versity and oul JOY in prosperity, the
solacers Of sorrow; among she fair,
the fairest; among the pure, the purest;
the elect Of God and the select of men.
IT'S to them we owe our pleasure and
entertainment upon an event OF this
kind. They are the life and soul Of all
parties.
In response to- the toast of "Our
Guests" Mr.. Metzler, who was en-
; trusted with the work OF getting up
= this pleasant occasion, said he felt too
. much hon2red. He felt, as he gazed
5 at the smiling faces around the board,
as If he could not lind words TO give
proper expression to his thoughts. No
matter whether Israelite or Gentle,

) THIN hearty welcome.
Mr.. Ullman then proposed "The
Press" Mr.. Hall, being a modest
young man, excused himself and tried
