The interior of the hospitable club
house will present a scene of hustle
and gaiety. Already the rooms are

Amusements In Plenty.
| With such environments the visitor,
on pleasure bent, will find every induce

of rare enjoyment.
The club rooms will, no doubt be
thronged. For this reason no chairs
have been provided, so that those who
attend will have to move about from
place to place, visiting the various
stalls and booths. Chairs there are,
but these are in the cafe and on the
Veranda where light refreshments are
served. so if ones partner ventures to
suggest seat, no further hint is
necessary The ice cream parlors, by
the way, adjoin the ball room, and
the lemonade stand is just at the foot
of the steps.
