MAX BRILL HEADS NET YORE SOCIETY

Former Rensselaer Boy at Head of Freundschaft Society Which Has New Club House. Many Rensselaer people will remember Max Brill, who was a clerk some thirty years ago in Ralph Fendig’s store. The New York Herald of June 18th published a picture of Max and hi swife in connection with an extended write-up of the opening of the Freundschaft Society’s new club house at 105 West Fifty-Seventh street. Max is the president of the society, which is a high honor. The club was founded in 1879. The new elub house is described at tenth by the Herald, which tells of the dining room, the dance hall, the “Room of a Hundred Aces”, where priiochle and other games are played, which, it says, is the most alluring card roo mover seen ip New York city. It says a “man who would not enjoy playing cards in* such delightful surroundings would trump his partner’s lead.” The Herald says that Max D. Brill has been especially active in making the migration a success. The article concludes with the following: “After the dinner the members made the grand tour of their new home. They found the Italian roof garden, with its pergola, picturesque, but too cool as yet for dining. They found that the library, with its hangings of green and its oaken -trim, ahd the billiard its tables of .Circassian watou-t, were better adapted for wiling away the hours. In front of the card room is the blue lounge.” —■ ——-tt—
