THEY ARE GORGEOUS
The Atlas New Quarters Are
More Than Suinptuous.
The Carpets Tapestries. Sidebonrds and
Mantels, TO Use the English.
Are Staggering

Last night half dozen beacon lights
blazed away above the copper-corniced
cubical pyramid commonly called the
Dolly building.
The moon was dazzled by the terrestrial
splendor of new constellation and tilted
his profled face low down to catch the
meaning Of all this brilliant luster After
batting his eyes like lurid owl at his new
rival he iealously came down from his
high perch and SUNK out of view behind
the great lake, sullen as night.
a HERALD night owl few into the cage
that quickly caught him up into an Ara
bian world of enchantment.
To say that the Alta club rooms are
sumptuous does not begin to express it;
they are more than swell; they are what
the Englishman Woodrow styled them
"swaggering."
When it was known that H. A. F'yler,
with his exquisite. gorgeous taste for royal
i, tapes tries had been given carte blanche to
the clubs exchequer, 1t was set down that
the Atlas new home would come out re-
called in all the lavish richness Of the
orient.
The royal Wiltons span the spacious
halls with dark brown ground work,
Inquired In Egyptian designs, bordered to
match in radiant links of rainbow hues.
A light olive green covers the ladies' re-
ception room. laced with ribbony, diamond
ngures IN light pink and shrimp, bordered
with festooned boQuets of roses 1t is
dream so delicate, lovely and exquisite as
TO charm the eye and soften the feet that
tread 1t with sensuous pleasure.
On the door entering into the ladies'
room are handsome plush curtains to
match, and the center arch and side win
dows'are draped with Irish point curtains
and pretty brocaded silk overhanging cur
tains caught up into a star, from which
protrudes large gold ring The furniture
In this room will be upholstered with bro
csded silk. A beautiful Weber piano
stands In one Of the corners, with hand
some plush cover.
These rooms have been furnished fastid-
iously for the exclusive pleasure of the
ladies.
But the two superb royal Melton rugs in
the dining hall, grounded on tobacco brown,
adorned with large and medium tanned
Egyptian figures 10 the most sumptuoua
carpeted roam of them all.
A large square column Of light oak rising
In the center OF the room encircled by
commodious sideboard, contains the china
ware In the west end of the dining
light oak, twenty feet in height
with handsome French plate mirrors, CEN
tered with very artistic half circle mir
ror in hand carved setting.
THE READING ROOM,
in the Second South corner room, is also
carpeted with royal Wilton, the body of
brown, with Egyptian figures in shrimp,
pink and new Russian green. The huge
leather chairs are the soul of comfort and
ease. Over the center table large owl is
perched with its great eyes speaking :'No
loud talk here"
As bright Royal Wilton red az can be
imagined dazzles about the feet of the bill
lard players sglow with warmth.
The same exquisite taste is seen in the
card rooms, which supassesin its equip
ments OF tables, and the eft cetras of games,
any card room west of Chicago.
The lunch counter room. the wine room,
the hat and coat rooms, the toilet roms are
Bill fitted out luxuriously.
The Alta can surely boast of the finest
appointed quarters of any club in the west.
