1t is significant of the times that In
a. description of a new club, the Colony
for Woman, opened a few weeks ago
in New York, it was announced that
there were no restrictions against
smoking anywhere in the building ex-
cept in the reading room, but that
playing for money is not allowed in the
card room. This club is organized on
the same lines as mans club with
one exception, and it is not intended
therefore for the type of femininlty
known as he club woman" The eX-
ception noted relates to the wine cell
lar. which does not yet exist in this
club. though member can keep her
own wine stored and use it at will.
The building is a spacious one on Ma
Olson avenue. convenient to the homes
and resorts of most of it's wealthy
members. Its main entrance is Tor
members only with the other entrance
for guests. The large central hall has
every comfort and luxury from both
masculine as well as a feminine point
of view, as has the reading room open
ing into it. On the other side of the
big central hall is the tea room, from
which open the card room and the win
ter garden. This latter has a green
trellised wall, oyer(which ivy chambers.
There is a fountain, near which are
flower jars of Italian marble. The din
ing rooms are on the upper floor and
the kitchens are a delight to a house
keeper. The chef is an English woman.
There is a small dining room in gray
and pink where wonderfully beautiful
shades of these colors are combined.
A fine reception room goes with this
suit for private entertaining. The en-
tire front of the house Is given up to
the assembly room, which will be in
demand for conferences on subjects
which appeal to womankind. A club
gymnasium, a swimming pool and
baths of every kind and other features.
Sleeping rooms for out-of-town mem
bers are luxuriously fitted up. The in
itiation fee has been placed at $50,
with 500 as annual dues. Out-of-town
members pay half the latter sum. Mrs.
J. Borden-Harriman is president of the
club, and among the officers best
known to society are Mrs. John Jacob
Aston, second vice president Mrs.
Walter Damrosch, secretary; Miss
Kate Brice and Mrs. Payne Whitney

Sleep is one of the great preservers
of youth. Eight hours of regular sleep
at night and short nap during the
day will do much to keep the face
free from wrinkles. Always sleep
with the bed room window open a few
inches at the top, both in summer and
winter A daily morning bath, tepid
in winter and cold in summer, with a
brisk rub to follow, will be found to
keep the skin fresh and clear. At least
two hours must be spent in the open
air, either in walking, riding or play
ing games, as circumstances permit.
