The reciprocity meeting of the Council!
of Jewish Women yesterday afternoon
was one of the most delightful affairs
given in the new Phoenix club 1t was
the first open meeting ever held by the
council and was the brilliant beginning,
it Is hoped of an annual custom. Sew
eral women from each of the clubs were
in attendance, making gathering repre-
sentative of Birminghams best culture.
The ball room was the scene of the meet
ing. Vases OF roses gave festive air to
an already beautiful room. Here, in the
balcony end of the apartment. was sta
toned grand piano, and chairs were
placed in a semi-circle about 1t. Mrs.
Maurice Lenk presided over the meet
ing with her accustomed grace. One Of
the most pleasant features of the pro-
gramme was the arrangement of piano
solos interspersed among the literary
numbers. Mrs. William Gussen, who rem
dered the various selections, never played
more exqustely, and her audience
showed most intelligent appreciation.
Faust was the subject chosen for
the afternoon, having been the theme
followed this winter, not only in the coun-
ell but in other clubs of the city.
DIR. w. E. Evans, Rev. Raimundo De-
OWES and DR.. Morris Newfield made a
trio of speakers of exceptional power.
Each presented, in his own finished, per-
feet style, his views of this tremendous
masterpiece and OF Goethe, the man.
Differing radically in their views, one
from the other, the very differences OF
these three brilliant men made their
combined discourse the more illuminating,
and the body of one of the most cultured
mingham club women
Following the programme representa-
tives from the clubs were invited to
speak, and their brief responses gave a
touch of informality altogether pleasant,
as was the reception, which was the
climax of the meeting. Mrs. Lenk was

council, including Mrs. julius Marx. Mrs.
Herman Saks, Mrs. Adler and Mrs. Lille
