Metamorphosis Of the Columbia Ath-
letic Club House.

Elaborate Decorations and Many
Novel Features.
LADIES WHO WILL ASSIST

those who will attend the carnival there
during the ten nights beginning December
4 will carry membranes Of 1t to the
times when such things as fairs and fetes
| no longer interest them. The scale of deco
| ration and elaboration upon which the
work IF Identification now in progress will
| be carried out would be noticeable for Its
comprehensiveness and its fidelity to de-
tail even were the result which will be
| reached intended to be permanent. and be-
ing temporary in its character only makes
it the subject of more remark Workmen
have been engaged for the past three days
in completely removing the large halls
rooms and apartments from all semblance
of their familiar selves From the huge
gymnasium to the ground floor busy arti-
sans mechanics and laborerS nave been
engaged in making ready for the great
event in the clubs history, and while all IS
| seeming chaos now. the perfecuon tnat
will arise from it is alre ady visible to the
minds eyes of those who are mastering
the labor. The large parlors on the second
| floor are all eady equipped with the frame
work of the various booths. which are to
shortly be covered with gay and bright
draperies, arranged in a thousand novel
and fame full ways, and in the music room
perfect reproduction Of the Capltol build
ing is nearing completion. which VIII be
source of great and constant admiration
and wonder from the carnival crowds.
Perfect Bower of Flowers.
The front reception room on the same
floor will he an arcadian bower when the
scheme of its decoration is completed. 1t
will be given up entirely to the exhibition
of flowers and is to be a revelation in this
regard. The walls ceilings, windows and
chandeliers will be hidden behind thick and
| luxuriant vines and creepers, from which
growing orchids and other rare plants Will
send out their exquisite flowers. A rustic
fat flowers
cupy the side of the apartment, and pretty
girls scarcely less sweet and attractive
than the buds and bios SONS themselves Will
add human loneliness to the natural beauty
of the scene There will be flowers in pro-
fusion everywhere, and the position of the
room at the head of the main stairway
| will make the first impression of the visitors
most delightful. The gymnasium is under
going transformation scarcely less COM
plete, and the lower floor is also being touch
ed by the magical wand of good taste and
enterprise, and being made as different as
possible from it's former self. All this beauty
and brightness will be heightened in effect
by the lavish use of electricity. The walls
have been pierced in every direction by
electrical workers for the admission of
wires, and there will be a perfect glory of
refulgence in even the darkest corners.
| Every possible coign of vantage which a
cleaning electric light may best attain IN
order to be effective is being utilized, and
there will be clusters and punches of the
dazzling globes in all directions, while the
front of the club house on G street will be
ablaze with light from the same mysterious
force.
