AT
N auspicious event, one that re
vived pleasant memories and
served to bring- together friends
of many years' standing', was the 12th
anniversary luncheon given yesterday
ty the Council of Jewish Women who
assembled in the crystal room of the
Hotel Benson.
Golden Scotch broom was used in
decoration. The tables were most at
tractive in appearance, centered with
flowers and surrounded bv smartly at
tired, bright, happy women. At the
president's table, at the head of the
room, 20 candles, representing the
score of years of the council's exist
ence, were placed. At this table Mrs.
Isaac Swett presided, and the past
presidents were seated, and each in
turn was called upon for a short talk.
Following- the responses, Mrs. Henry
"William Metzger, one of the younger
members, led the assemblage in sing
ing a toast to the tune of "Auld Lang
Syne."
Mrs. Swett welcomed the members
and introduced the speakers. Mrs. A.
Bernstein gave an account of the early
days of the council and Miss Ella
Hirsch. read the minutes of the first
meeting in 1896. and called the roll of
the charter members. A large per
centage of these answered "Present."
A message from Mrs. Anna Newman,
of Fresno. thA nnlv nresident absent.
was read and the tribute given the
T others was accorded her.
V Mrs. Solomon Hirsch did not give a
but Mrs. Swett announced that
actions spoke louder than words,"
as Mrs. Hirsch had always been an in
spiration and a great help to the or
ganization. Mrs. L. Altman told of the founding
of the Neighborhood House and the
early work in manual training that
had been the forerunner of the work
in the public schools.
Mrs. S. M. Blumauer spoke of the
increase in membership from 125 to
300 when she was president. She was
chairman of Neighborhood House work
tor IS years. Mrs. Blumauer urged the
-establishment of a home for girls.
Mro. Ben Selling, another efficient
ex-president, gave interesting reminis
cences. Mrs. Max Hirsch and Mrs.
Julius Lippitt both responded with
clever verses.
Mrs. Simon Selling told of the work
of her administration, mentioning par
ticularly the success of the cookbook.
Mrs. Eva Gill sang "The Spirit Flow
er" and "Du Bist die Ruhe." Through
out the programme the talks were
beaiKJfully interwoven by the singing
led by the sweet voice of Mrs. Metzger.
Among the hostesses at the various
tables were Mrs. Sigmund Frank, Mrs.
Julius Loulsson, Mrs. Marcus Fleisch
ner, Mrs. F. Steinhardt, Mrs. M.
Sichel. Miss De Fries, Mrs. S. V.
Ottenheimer, Mrs. S. Swett, Mrs. Ella
Eisenbach, Mrs. Ben Neustadter, Mrs.
M. Goodman, Mrs. R. Abrahamson, Mrs.
Mark Levy, Mrs. George Loewenson,
Mrs. M. Baruh. Mrs. Ed. Ehrman. Mrs.
Abe Cohn. Mrs. J. Friedenthal and Mrs.
Leo Ricen.
Miss Fannie Harley gave a short
talk at the close of the luncheon. Her
subject was "Follies of Fashions." She
took exception to the actions of the
dress reformists and urged individual
ity. "It isn't a short skirt or a silk
stocking that leads men astray," said
Miss Harley.
After a resume of styles, past and
present, she said: "But, no matter
what the styles are or have been we
must all agree the neater the form the
more beautiful they are. There is
more grace in a fig-leaf frill than
there is in a hoop-skirt and one is
Just as practical as the other."
Gifts were given, to clubwomen by
Mrs. Kate Vaughn at yesterday's lec
ture, as follows: Knife set. Mrs. J. M.
MacDowell, 575 East Sixteenth street

acter created by an American and set
to Italian music. For a short time it
is'likely that the novelty of a Japanese
prima donna caught the public curi
osity, but as time has gone on and
she still has succeeded in winning her
audiences, there is no longer doubt
that it is her artistic charm that holds
the appeal.
Mme. Miura expects to return to
Japan and reform musical and artistic
conditions at the conclusion of her en
gagement in Madame Butterfly. The
great mass of people know little of
real music -and Japan boasts of few
singers of genuine merit. Because of
the misconception of music in her
native country, performances of opera
have frequently been stopped by the
authorities. It is scarcely worth while
to endeavor to give a serious musi
cal entertainment there. This condi
tion Mme. Miura will endeavor to re
lieve, although she will work against
conditions so firmly founded that it
may take- years before any noticeable
change is brought about.
Mme. Miura made her first appear
ance in public while a student in the
Academy or Music in tokio, at a pri
vate performance. Her assistant actors
were the German and Russian teach
ers under whom she studied. From
a student in the academy she became
teacher and later appeared in two
productions at the Imperial Theater
which were countenanced by the au
thorities. Mme. Miura went to Singa
pore after her marriage, but was ob
liged to give up her public work be
cause of the objections of her hus
band's family.
In Berlin she was permitted to ap
pear. She remained mere unui me
outbreak of the war, and then went
to London, where she sang with Patti
at the London Opera-House and at a
number of Red Cross benefits. She
met with a warm welcome wherever
she went, and at length made her way
to America, the mecca of her ambi
tions. She will make America her
home, returning to the Orient only to
teach her countrymen to view art as
she has learned It la her travels.

Tnmakl Miura Japanese Prima Donna.
TEVEE since Soda Tocca was at
i.N the height of her dramatic tri
umph has the public heard so remark
able a product of Japan in the theaters
as Mme. Tamaki Miura, who has been
playing for the past season in "Madame
Butterfly." All doubt of the ability of
an Oriental to portray the character
vanished with her first appearance.
Tamaki Miura fills the title role of
the Japanese opera as no Occidental
could possibly do. She has a fascinat
ing thin little voice that adds to the
delusion of childhood that she plays.
She is tiny in stature, light and gay.
In every respect she is quite typical
of the Japanese maiden, of 15 which
mHo plays.
The actress has an unusually ex
pressive face and from gay laughter it
changes readily to the sad countenance
of the disappointed maiden who anx
iously awaits her lover's return. Quite
as readily it changes to an expres
sion of tragic dignity with which she
meets his American wife. Tamaki
Miura sings without apparent effort,
and with seemingly no volition. She
Kings as a bird does, because it is
her nature, and her voice soars up and
up with unusual volume and warmth
In the more mature part of the char
acter that she plays.
The success of Tamaki Miura in
Madam Butterfly is by no means due
to the fact that she is at home in the
Oriental character, for it was neces
sary for her 'to divest herself of most
of the artistic traditions of her peo
ple before she could conceive the char-
CORNER WOODPILE BARRED
New Ordinance Prohibits It 25 Feet
From Crossing.
Traffic dangers in the form of cord
wood piles extending along parking
strips up to intersections are now un
der tho ban. The City Council yester
day passed an emergency ordinance, ef
fective at once, prohibiting the piling
of wood any nearer than 25 feet from
an intersection.
The ordinance was promoted by the
Public Safety Commission. The wood
piles, standing high in the air, ob
struct the view of drivers of machines
approaching the intersections, it was
said, ana thereoy constitute a danger
to traffic which is increasing each year
as the number of automobiles increase.

Gresliam to See Students' Exhibition.

A public exhibition will be given in
the gymnasium of Union High School
No. 2 by the physical culture students
tomorrow afternoon, at which time the
present year's school work will be com

Acrobatic Act. Fun and Patter and
Rapid Costume Cbanglng Stunt
Are Pleasing; to Audience.
Large audiences welcomed the open
ing of the new Hippodrome bill yester
day. Six good acts, a fine motion pic
ture drama and film comedy make a
large and popular programme. A band
of young Russians, the Neffesky troupe
give clever peasant dances, appearing
in colorful attire. Three Northern
youths and three attractive Russian
maidens amuse the audience with the
folk dances.
"They will surprise you," reads the
programme, and the six of the Yoscary
troupe surely do. Their unusual acro
batic act is one of skill and science.
Learning to fly proves a diversion for
Eva Fox and Ed Kersko and the audi
ence, too. For Kersko and Fox have a
lot of new jokes that seem to take.
Rapid changes of costume in full
