THE AMERICAN JEWISH WORLD
THE RADISSON BALLROOM
BENEFIT.

result OF most successful and unique
enterprise conducted last Monday eve
ming at the Radisson Hotel Ballroom,
when the subcommittee of young wom-
en- of the Women's Department of the
Minneapolis organization for War Re-
lief in charge of the West side section,
gave before an audience of over three
hundred Twin City people dance,
bridge and style revue.
And a style show it certainly was
The William Weisman Company, The
Dayton Company, E. E. Atkinson & Co.,
and John w. Thomas & Co. were more
than repaid by having such lovely types
of beauty to grace their large display
of costly and gorgeous garments, which
helped but to bring out the loneliness
of the wearers-Mesdames Harold
Kaufman, Harold Ruben, and S. H. Ben
jamin, Misses Stella Metzger, Helene
Rubel, Harriet Stearn, Ruth Myers, Lei
la Mikolas, Constance Moss, Constance
Cohen, Jeanette Benjamin, Ruth
Pfaum, Marcella Monasch, Ruth Myers,
Charlotte KantrOwitZ, Frances Fried
man, Tessa Schneider and Doris Hell
bron. With the assistance of the Misses
Madeleine Wiki Ruth Benjamin, Inez
Rees and Mrs. Ruth Selig, the sale of
drinks, cigars and flowers helped con-
siderably to swell the total. The spec
tators were also participators in the
events of the evening for dancing was
in order both before and after the style
revue so that all had a chance to COM
plete an evening of great interest and
pleasure.
A notable feature of the evening was
the most elaborate exhibition of stylish
furs it has ever been the pleasure of the
Twin City public to witness, from the
establishment of the William Weisman
Company.
The showing was not only unusual as
to the variety but included many of the
most expensive garments, one of the
most striking of which was an ermine
wrap with chinchilla trimming, worn
by Miss Stella Metzger and valued at
$4,000. The women present were enrap-
tured with this beautiful garment.
Among the other particular models
shown was an ermine opera cloak with
Russian sable collar and cuffs, worn by
Miss jeanette Benjamin, and valued at
$4,000.
Mrs. Harold Kaufman wore a beau
tiful caracul wrap trimmed with genu-
inc sable.
Miss Harriet Stearn appeared as an
attractive model wearing a beautiful
mole wrap, ermine trimmed.
A Kolinsky wrap, trimmed with gen.
uine ermine was worn by Miss Con-
stance Cohen.
The most striking coat shown, al
though not the most expensive, was a
baby leopard, beautifully spotted, which
was worn by Miss Ruth Pf1aum.
An exceptional ermine wrap was a
a most becoming garment worn by Miss
Frances Friedman.
The guests present acknowledged that
the exhibition was one of the most COM
nlete and elaborate that has ever been
