HELP FOR TIE POOR
Obtained by the GOans Ladies' Hebrew
Society OF Memphis.

The Young Ladies' Hebrew Sewing So
ciety of this city gave their first Pound
Party at the residence OF Mr.. II. Rosen-
thai, No, 1l6 Washington street, Sunday
evening, which proved grand success,
both as sn occasion OF unalloyed enjoy
ment and as a means of realizing hand
some sum of money for the relief of the
poor, to which the organization is devoted.
The society is composed of twentv-eisht
young lady members, and the parties are
gotten up by each member and her escort
contributing a package containing q
pound OF some article, the rule not desig-
mating any distinction between pound
oi feathers and 4 pound of lead. These
Packages are sold by auction 10 the high
est bidders, and affords the young gentle
man escort an opportunity TO become
solid with his best girl by squander-
ing his wealth without regard to ex-
pense for he knows aud cares not what the
pound parcel may contain. Twenty-eight
packages were contributed Sunday even
ing, and the sale realized S206-the first
and highest package, bought by Mr.. Emil
GoldhaHm, realizing 81 so. The others
averaged about - each. The total yield
at this rate would have been but Sl47 80,
but for the clever ingenuity and generous
nature OF Mr. Louis Ierzog, who paid
81 30 for parcel and re donated il TO the
society 30 be sold again, when il realized
Ss 80 more. Several others did the same
thing, by which $5S so more money was
realized. Mr.. Emil Goldbaum was the
auctioneer, and kept the assemblase in
good humor by his mirth- provoking sal
lies OF wit, making several local hits
that brought down the house. After the
disposal OF the parcels refreshments were
served, followed by very enjoyable i'm
promptu programme, musical and recita-
tive, participated in by Misses Pauline
Rosenthal and Henrietta Barinds, with
vocal selections, Rotations by Miss Dora
Boschwitz, Messrs. Louis Rosentha..
Henry Seches and Moses Katzenberger.
and an instrumental duet by Miss Ray
Isaacs and Mr.. Victor Sugarman. The 90.
jects and labors of the Young Ladies'
Hebrew Sewing Society are most COM
mendable, affording source of innocent
amusement to the members and friends OF
the organization and providing hand
sosnely for tie poor and helpless. This
class OF innocent amusement should be-
come popular with our people.
