CLUBHOUSE FOR WOMEN.
Imposing structure at Buffalo Tha.
Has Cost $I5O,Ooo.


Has Cost $15O,Ooo.
Undoubtedly the finest womau's
clubhouse in the country is that of the
Twentieth Century club of Buffalo,
which keeps open house during the
Pan-American exposition for the "eter-
nal feminine wayfarer. This impos-
ing structure cost precisely $150.000.
This sum is considerably In excess OF
that expended on any other woman's
clubhouse, on this side of the water ut
least. though Boston clubwomen have
in process of erection on Beacon Hill
an edifice which, it Is said, is to cost
$20O,O0
The Twentieth Century club house OF
Buffalo was begun in 1895 and com
pleted the next year, notwithstand-
ing the unsettled financial conditions
the country over. When the last brick
was in place. these Buffalo clubwomen
declared proudly they had the largest.
handsomest and most complete club
house in this country" and no one had
the courage or the clubhouse to dispute
the broad assertion.
The clubhouse is three stories high.
There is 4 stone foundation, with the
remainder of brick. 1t is located on
one of the principal streets in the city
with the latchstring ever hanging out
alluringly. By far the most attractive
room is the court, as it is called, sltu-
ated on the second floor and reached by
broad marble staircases. The mural
decorations are markedly artistic. while
the supporting columns at the side give
an added elegance. On the same floor
are the coffee room, the magazine room,
the music room and the library. On
the first floor are the office, committee
rooms, whiStrooms and dressing rooms.
1t is the third floor of the clubhouse
that is u constant source of income
Here is Il large assembly room, which
is rented for concerts, lectures and
dances. The stage IS equipped with
scenery so that it may be utilized for
private theatricals. There are also 4
number of studios, which are rented TO
artists.
Another feature unusual in the fem
mime clubhouse-in America at least
are the two sleeping apartments, which
members, especial $ out of town MEM
bers. may use over night. In London,
ON the other hand, the average wom-
ans club. being largely social, is apt to
have numerous apartments. The Lon
don woman's club is immensely more
elegant, it may be mentioned in this
connection, the Empress club in Picca-
Oily, for instance, costing the sum o.
$450.0OO.
The Twentieth Century club in Buff
falo, however, is all the more praise
worthy from our American standpoint
when it is understood the membership
is comparatively small. only about 800.
The president is Mrs. John Glenny.

Something New In Perfumes.


The visit of the Duke and Duchess OF
Cornwall and York to Australia has led
London perfumers to distil certain Aus
tralian flowers for the benefit of loyal
Britishers. Boronia is one of these, a
flower so fragrant that it is said that
its perfume is waited on the breeze to
greet incoming ships. Golden waffle is
another fragrant blossom, and rock
lilies, which are orchids growing on
rocks near the sea, are exceedingly
sweet smelling flowers. All these have
been made into perfumes and labeled
by their distinctive names. These per-
fumes are great rivals of carnation
scents, which follow the fashion, max
ing that flower the most popular of the
day. Bath softeners are perfumed with
carnations, and sachets of the same
odor are made to attach to the tops Of
the corsets.

JUDGE ANDERSON COMES
IN FOR A SC0RElNG FOR
PARTISAN ADDRESS.

The Memorial Day address ut Appleton
was delivered by Judge Anderson and
while it eloquent yet it evidently was
not appreciated if the following para
graph taken from the Appleton Crescent
indicates the popular sentiment. He
delivered a very able address ON the sig
niicance of Memorial Day, the men and
deeds thus houored, together with eulogy
of the volunteer soldierso OF the civil war,
the Spanish American war, and all 9th
er soldiers who have served their cOun-
try. His address on these lines was elo-
queRt and just, and had it ended with
this, would have been evidently salts
factory to the audience.
Unfortunately Judge Anderson felt
inpelled to add some political talk in
which he wrangled the field Of national
politics to some extent, but more particu-
larlv devoted his attention 10 state af-
fairs, men aud measures. In view of
Of tie fact that the audience was com
posed of people Of All shades Of political
opinion, ard that theue are three hun
dre& and-sixty-four days IN the year to
talk politics, but only one to honor dead
soldiers The latter portion Of the address
was 4ot pleasing TO the 'audience.
