Mr. and Mrs. Felix M. Warburg, James H. Becker of Chicago, and Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Lehman, left on the steamer “Resolute” for a world cruise. In the course of their journey they will visit Palestine and Russia. Dr. Chaim Weizmann was among the many friends who were at the pier to bid bon voyage to Mr. Warburg.
A new form of bon voyage was extended to Percy S. Straus when he sailed on the steamer “Bianca Mone”. Mrs. Isaac Kubie, associate chairman of the Women’s Division of the New York Federation for the Support of Jewish Philanthropic Societies, conceived the idea of sending a contribution to the Federation, instead of the usual farewell token of flowers. Mr. Straus is chairman of the Business Men’s Council of the Federation.
Felix M. Warburg, chairman of the Board of the Federation and Arthur Lehman, associate chairman of the board, were also honored by contributions to the newly-created “bon voyage fund” when they sailed.
