THE long dreamed of desire and
fondly cherished hope of Cincinnati
clubwomen for a home of their own
will become a reality by the time the
biennial of 1910 opens, as the founda-
ton is well under way and the corner
stone soon to be laid with appropriate
ceremonies.
1.-The location is ideal, Oak street, in
one of the most attractive suburbs,
surrounded by beautiful homes and
far removed from the noise and smoke
of the city.
THE house of pure colonial architec-
ture will be "a feet back from the
street with a lawn of so feet in the
rear; a frontage with 1874 feet, central
reception hall 20 feet wide, made at
tractive with large open fireplace.

beyond the serving room. The library
19x23, with office, Cloakroom, check
room, laVatory, telephone booth and
small lecture room. The kitchen in
the basement (Which is above ground)
will be provided with dumbwaiter and
perfect in every detail of equipment.
1.-THE second floor will have an audi
torium, checkroom, laVatory, commit
tee rooms and janitor's suite with bath
so arranged as to be entirely separate
from the main portion. With latest de-
vices for deadened floors and three di-
visions of the heating system, the
building will be one of the finest in
this section of the country.

has been completed, the appointment
of chairman of most urgent commit
tees, arrangements for halls, etc.
In addition to Music hall, under
whose roof there are twenty-five rooms
suitable for state headquarters, with
Horticultural hall for luncheons, and
Machinery hall for registration, the
committee has secured beautiful Me-

council meetings.
Memorial hall, erected in honor of
soldiers and sailors, has just been
completed is comfortable, commodious
and conveniently situated, facing one
of the small parks and separated from
Music hall by only two buildings.

York, easily accessible to Music hall by
direct carline, will be the official
Headquarters. There are great num-

Mrs. Sarah Platt Decker and the
newly formed Public Service league of
women have made successful fight
against an ordinance which had been
| "snealted through the Denver board
of aldermen to permit the feeding OF

the women active in opposing IL We're
| Mrs. Martha A. B. Conine, Mrs. e. T..
Costigan, and Mrs. d. c. Bailey, presl-
dent of the Denver Womans cruz,
who also has charge of the clubs day

by the lobbyists of the brewers to rat
ifv the ordinance, the board OF super
visors killed the measure by a unanl-
nous vote and passed a vote OF thahks
to Supervisor Burnett, who had been
specially active in gathering evidence
to show the unfitness of brewery REL
use as food for cows. The Denver

heads and references on the subject OF

that that World movements should have a
place among the subjects selected q,
STch discussion would put a club IN
toncb with the vital topics of the day
and tend toward general culture.
