The Jewish monitor. (Fort Worth-Dallas, Tex.) 191?-1921, 1921-07-01

One Of the most enjoyable social
functions was given Tuesday night by
the Jewish Charity and Social Club at
the Japanese Tea Garden Of the Gun
ter Hotel. This was the first cabaret
dance ever attempted by Jewish So
ciety in San Antonio, and judging
from the crowd and complimentary
remarks, nothing better could have
been given. Upon the ending Of the
grand march, favors were distributed
amid shower Of confetti. After peace
was restored, a classical program Of
rare treat was offered. Miss Adella
Adclman. accompanied by Miss Tillie
Brown. rendered a very beautiful Sc
lection. Little Miss Jeanette Schar.
lack with her nimble feet, brought the
audience to danceland. Miss II. f. Tru-
OK gave an inspiring violin solo, and
Miss Fannie Frank entertained with
classical steps. Both these numbers
were highly enjoyed But the number
that brought forth the greatest merri-
mcnt was a boxing bout between two
rplorcG youths. Between numbers,
Jazz Band kept constantly reminding
everyone to watch their step and step
lively. II was not until the small hours
q the night before anyone thought Of
going home.

tion Is to organize a Grand Chapter
and adopt ruling power for the Iota
Kappa Chi organization.
The Alpha Chapter of the Iota Kap-
pa Chi was organized in San Antonio
many years ago, and realinzing the
good work il has done, the idea was
conceived to branch out to the neigh
boring cities, with the result that a
Beta Chapter at Houston and Gam
ma Chapter tGalveston soon took
their places among the Jewish lives
OF their respective cities. Perhaps the
day is not distant when this order will
become national Jewish fraternity,
with chapters in all the principal
cities. Much good can be accomplished
through such Society and all that is
necessary for this dream TO become
a reality is just little earnest effort.
The delegates will be met at the
station Sunday morning by the local
society, and all visitors will be given
the freedom Of the city. In the after
noon, the meeting will be called to or
der in the Pink Room Of the Gunter
Hotel, where Rabbi Marks will deliver
the address Of welcome. After the ses-
sion, all will be taken to Arbor Beach
for the Bathing Girls Revue. Upon re-
turning to town, supper will be CIV
on at the Original, then a quick trip
will be made to San Pedro Park. where
dancing will be enjoyed until a late
hour. For July ith, all members will
zee the Patriotic Parade in body,
and then adjourn to the Elk's celebra-
ton al the South Loop Park. for the
balance Of the day and most Of the
night. During the morning Of the 9Th.
the guests will be taken for a sight

sumcd in the afternoon, calls for cleo.

So much for the man. Now what did
he do to make his persona non grata

judge for yourselves. One Mr.. Simon,

at the demands Of some quarter, per-
haps the American leaders, been nam

Hayesod and as the representative on
that board Of the Worlds Zionist Ex.

tative he was given voting power
