ARMY AND NAVY CLUB
FINDS A FINE HOME
Residence of Mrs. Alfred Voor-
HES in California Street
Will Be Engaged
Magnificent Furnishings and
Art Treasures of Mansion
to Go With 1t

The beautiful home of Mrs. Alfred
voorhfes at 2111 California street is
destined to become the clubhouse of the
new Army and Navy club now being
organized in this city.
Mrs Voorhies, who for many wears
has been the leader of the brilliant
southern set here, has since the death
of her husband, DR.. A. H VOORHEES,, de-
cided to give up the handsome home
and with her daughter. Mrs. Malcolm
Henry, move to a quiet abode, remote
from the gayeties of social life. 1t was
on this account that she has offered her
home to the new club. Yesterday the
organizers of the club, led by General
Frederick A. Smith, temporary chair
man of the central committee of the
club: General F. Nj. Coke, Colonel r. r.
Stevens, Lieutenant o. P. H. Hazard
and other officers of the new organiza-
ton visited the VOORHEES, home where
they were shown through the premises
by Mrs VOORHEES, They were all great
ly pleased with the place.
With the home will go all the superb
fittings and furnishings. This will in
clude the Persian rugs, rich oak furni-
ture rare oil paintings, tapestries, the
famous old Venetian glassware and the
magnificent table service that has been
in the VOORHEES, family for nearly 100
years.
1t was the general impression of
General Smith and members of the
committee that the VOORHEES, home was
an admirable place for the opening of
the club.
The membership of the new club is
at present limited to 100, but applica-
lions are coming in so fast that it
probably will be necessary to increase
the limit to $50.
A further meeting of the club will
take place at the end of this week at
the Offices of Colonel r. r. Stevens at
army Headquarters.
