THE MYSTERIOUS CLUB
IL Gives an Enjoyable House-Warming-
Character of the Organization

Character of the Organization
The house-warming given last evening by the
Mysterious Club at tho new club house. l0O6
street, was largely attended by the members OF
this popular organization and their friends.
| The entire building has been newly furnished
and reftted and is well adapted for the needs
Of this organization, which is purely social in
character. Owing to the increase in the men,
bership larger quarters became absolutely
necessary, and SO this building was secured 1t
was formerly occupied by the National Law
School and the arrangements Of the interior ia
well adapted for the use Of the club. There is
a spacious entrance hail. with suite of rooms
on one side. The front room is furnished as
sitting or lounging room, and back of
this is the billiard room, where there
is pool table and a billiard table. The cafe
is in this part OF the house. An unusual feature
of such an organizs ton and one that will be
greatly appreciated is a fine bowling alley in
the basement A large assembly hall on the
third floor will be utilized by the club when the
business meetings are held. 1t is also the in
and the spacious floor will afford a fine
opportunity for dancing. A piano is part Of
the furniture OF this room and the musicaly
inclined members can entertain their friends
with selections.
COMPOSED OF BUSINESS MEN.
The organization is composed entirely OF
business men and is, as stated, purely social in
character. 1t has only been in existence some
four years. but the membership has increased
with such rapidity that the club has been
obliged TO move from time to time in order to
mud quarters that would be sufficiently spa
cious The present club house is large enough
just now even for the initiation exercises, which
usually are spread over considerable space.
But a. these exercises are regulated by no rit-
unl 1t is probable that even the present build
ing Will become after awhile too small. The
name now borne BY the club the ono suS-
Gested in the carly days of the organization,
when there were only about a dozen members.
IL was then the practice to meet at Cabin John
bridge or some other resort, and the
mysterious fashion in which the members
Unexpectedly appeared at appointed places gave
rise TO the name which has been retained,
although the club has grown beyond the
original conception of the founders The
membership Is composed OF solid, substantial
men of business, and their handsome new
house III this central locality will be of great
advantage. Last evening the comfortable
rooms were thronged with members and in
vited guests. After the business meeting col
lation was served in the assembly room. and
the evening proved to be one oil the most en-
joyable in the history OF the organization.
