_Joint Menorah Meetings in New York_

company with the newly organized "Menorah Alumni of New York

was a most successful meeting, with an attendance of about 700 Menorah
members and friends.

Miss Sarah Berenson, President of the Hunter Menorah, introduced the

classics--Achilles and Patroclus and Euryalus and Nisus. Mrs. Pouzzner
spoke upon the Jewish women of the German Salons of the eighteenth and
