Personal ITEMS.
There was large turnout of the members of the
Englewood Club last Saturday evening to discuss
the Interesting question whether the club should
widen its scope and branch out into a regular
country club, taking for its headquarters the new
Epglcwood Hotel. Early In the discussion now
ever it was made plain that the members oid not
deem this part OF the plan in any way feasible. II
was agreed on all sides that the site OF the hotei
was not an ideal one for country club; that 1t was
too near the centre of the village, and that It's
grounds neither spacious nor signify enough
for the purpose Accordingly this phase Of the plan
was dropped altogether. but a committee was APP
pointed to consider the advisability of enlargng
the scope of the club and perhaps at some day not
far distant in the future of building new clubhouse
on the slope OF the Palisades This plan carried
out would put an end to the scheme which some OF
the leading women here have been formulating Tor
organizing women's social club.
Helcon Hall the unique boys school. which is
beautifully situated in Woodand-st. far up on the
eastern slope opened this week The school en-
bodies many original ideas. and the visitor there
may catch glmpses of both Eastern and Western
civilization: Of the Old World and OF the New; OF
classic medieval and Of modern architecture. 1t
is understood that the school, has only ten or twelve
pupils which FOR the present is a satisfactory num-
Der as the school was not designed to be large
one.
