New Quarters TO Be Ready by

The Young Mems Hebrew Association
is making some extensive Improvements
on its quarters at the Masonic Temple
which when completed, as they Will be
about the middle of next month, will give
it one Of the most convenient and well
equipped clubs in the city.
The quarters have heretofore been con-
fined almost exclusively TO the Masonic
hail, which the association used as a club
room, library, pool and billiard room, and
ball room, but the members have recent
ly secured the property adjoining the
temple and by a series of extensive i'm
provements upon It. have about completed
the conversion Of it into the most magnif-
cent and desirable club quarters.
The front part of this building is three
stories in hight. while the rear where the
gymnasium is to be located has been
converted into one large room thirty feet
in hight, from floor to ceiling A brick
basement with a bay window has been
constructed in front Of the building, and
the whole will be repaired and repainted.
The first floor will be used as the read
ing rooms and library. There will also be
a Longing room for the comfort and con-
venience Of the members The books at
a Vf-fH he
moved into this part Of the building.
The second floor viii furnish some en-
tirely new and modern features, among
which viii be the parlors, ladies' boudoir,
and lavatOries. The ladies' boudoir VIII
be arranged especially for the use of la
dies at the balls and entertainments which
are given at the hall. The third floor will
contain the billiard and pool tables which
are al present located in the hall.
Back Of these three stories will be the
gymnasium, the dimensions of which are
80 by 40 feet. with thirty feet between
the floor and ceiling. This will be a
combination gymnasium and supper room.
II VIII be equipped with modern kitchen
and all the necessary cooking apparatus
for such occasions, and parties rent
ing the han for church entertainments and
the like will be allowed the use of the
supper room. Besides this II win be
equipped with all the latest gymnasium
apparatus for the use of the members.
These additional quarters, which the as
ISOLATION has secured, viii be connected
with the Masonic hall by a large door
leading almost directly into the hall. Just
at the first landing Of the staircase at
the entrance to the hall there will be
baize doors to screen the participants in
affairs given there from the gaze of out
siders. The painters and decorators are
now at work on the new club quarters,
and will probably be ready to turn them
over to the association by Oct 10. They
will be handsomely equipped and lighted
with electricity throughout.
Arrangements are also being made for
some extensive improvements on the Ma
sonic hall itself, which win be begun in
a lew days. As stated, the reading rooms,
library, etc, will be moved over into the
other building, which will give considera-
BILE additional space in the hail. The dress
ing rooms Will be remodeled and increased
larged and considerably improved. When
these improvements are all completed
there VIII hardly be a club or similar
organization in the city better equipped
than the Young Mems Hebrew Associa-
ton.
