YOUNG zIONISTS GIVE
HOUSE WARMING
AT NEW HOME
They Tender Reception in
the Afternoon and Even
ing to 500 and More of
Their Friends at Their
Commodious Quarters on
Fourth Street.

In entering upon the tenancy of their
| new quarters at 48 East Fourth street,
| the Young Zionists of st. Paul held
open house yesterday afternoon and
evening, and entertained 500 or 600 of
their friends.
This reception was a most aus
| picious event in the history of the club,
for it not only marked the removal
to more cOmmOdiouS and more ele-
gantly appointed home, but also dem
| onstrated the fulfllment of an era of
renewed activity and prosperity after
a qufeScent period of some years.
This society is affiliated with the
American Federation of Zionists, and
as branch of that order was organ
lied nine years ago. 1t is confined in
its membership to those of Jewish
faith, and for some years was main
tanned by the younger element of that
religious sect. Within the past year,
however, it was determined to interest
some of the older members of Jewish
society in the club as a means of gain
ing greater strength and influence, and
now there is a constituency of fifty
members who are active in more than
the common acceptation of that term.
The officers of the club are B. Calmen-
son, president; Aaron Hertz, vice pres
ident; ]. Sternberg, financial secretary;
Abraham Hertz, recording secretary;
j. Kram, treasurer.
Speaking of the present condition
and the purposes of the club, the pres
ident, Mr.. Calmenson, said yesterday
to T h e G | o b e:
Will Pattern After Y. M. C. A.
eve are affiliated with the Ameri-
man Federation of Zionists, and funda-
mentally our principles are those of
that society, but locally we shall go
farther and strive to the end that our
,1,oI
people all that the Y. NJ. c. A. is to
the Gentiles. 1t is our purpose to es-
tablish, as soon as we are able to es-
tablish, gymnasium in connection
with our club rooms, and in short to
take up all of the various lines of
work embraced in the plan of the Y.
| NJ. c.. A.
1--WE are a benevolent and social Or
ganization, and as rapidly as possible
| we will broaden our scope within the
| flexible limitations of those purposes
| Our present membership embraces only
men, but we have, for some time, con-
| templated the organization of a wom-
! ems auxiliary, and within a week will
| inaugurate this movement. Our mem
| bers are chiefly of the younger set, but
| the predominating element among
| them is now made up of business men
! who are active in the advancement Of
| the affairs of the club"
New Quarters Are Ample.
Heretofore the club has occupied
| rooms in the Baltimore block, but with
| the growth of the club those accom-
| modations became too small, and the
| present quarters embrace the entire
| third floor Of the building at 48 East
| Fourth street, just east of the Mime
| sofa club. A greater portion of the
! space at the disposal of the club has
| been devoted to one large apartment
| at the front of the building, which has
| a bare hardwood floor and is sufficient
| in size for an ordinary dancing party
| or a musicale, but not too large to
| serve at other times as a drawing
room. 1t is supplied with piano and
! otherwise handsomely furnished and
| the walls are decorated with appro-
| pirate pictures. Next in the suite is a
| lounging room costly furnished and
| eQuipped and running lengthwise
across the rear portion of the build
| ing a we'll appointed library.
For the reception of yesterday the
committee in charge consisted of D.
NJ. Aronsohn, chairman; Abraham
Hertz, J. Kram, J. Sternberg, N. Left
| and 3. Calmenson. The club rooms
were invitingly decorated with flowers
and potted plants and music was sup
| piled by Wolf & Barrett's orchestra.
| In the afternoon several hundred
| guests were entertained, and in the
| evening about 500 more viewed the club
rooms and extended their good wishes
| to the club.
The Young Zionists will give their
| last dancing party of the season Thurs
| day evening, May IA, at Cambridge
| hall, 40 East Seventh street.
