MENTs-ANoTHER CLUB NOW.
The Brooklyn Club, il is said, is about to mako ex'
tended improvements in the future on Its prop
erty at Perrepont and SITS, improvements, IN
fact which will almost make new house OF the IN
terror, and win cost something Like $4,000. the
house was remodelled few years ago. but the mem
bers have really been satisfied with It, Perhaps
this feeling largely due TO the more handsome
house Of the Hamilton, by. and the new uptown
clubs with their elaborate buildings The principal
change so far the outside Of the house Is concerned
will be the addition OF a large bay-ulnaow on 'he
Pierrepontst front, between the main entrance ana
Cnnton-st. AS an argument in favor OF TINS addi'
ton il is said that both Perrepont and Clinton sts arc
favorte promenades for the pretty girls OF BrooAVn'
and that il will be one Of the most attractive spots 70
be found in Brooklyn clubhouse. Particularly VIII

Heights pour forth their congregations. All this ne
calls the ohtme dialogue Of the funny paper:
Mamma, why do those men always sit In THAI
Window

have that nice window to sit in"
