OMAHA CLUB is REMODELED
Reception Thursday Evening to Mem
bers of the Club.
EVERYTHING HAS BEEN CHANGED
Kitchen Enlarged, windows Lowered.
stairs Changed, Rooms Made DIFF
ferent md Many other Alter
attOns for Comfort.

Members Of the Omaha club who attend
the opening reception Thursday evening
will find a beautifully rehabilitated club
house. Joseph s. Sturdy, the Chicago ex-
pert on interior decorating. has been at
work for several months with his staff OF
workmen and the rooms and woodwork as
well as the furniture have all been made
over, In every design a harmony of color
and form has been sought for and there
is a prevailing softness OF tone that is car
rled out even In the loaded glass of the
windows. The woodwork Is an antique oak
finish all the rooms on all three floors
and the Irish tuft rugs are In smooth light
greens and browns. The walls and ceilings
are changed even to the chandeliers and
doorways
All of the rooms. although simple and
subdued. are distinctly masculine in tone
except for the ladies suite. The larger
dining room Of this suite is charming
combination OK silver and green. the cur
tains under green overhanglngs are the
finest lace and the electrolier and brackets
are Of crystal.
The important changes in the general
layout of the rooms are the lowering of
the windows that overlook the street. the
throwing together into one large reception
room the two rooms to the right of the
entrance hall, the building of a special
entrance passage from the Twentieth street
entrance to the ladies' cafe and to the
office without passing through the loung-
ing rooms, the new arrangement OF the
stairway which makes it more graceful
and convenient and the extension of the
Kitchen. The kitchen has been not only
extended but fitted with more commodious
ice boxes and ranges.
The work done by Mr.. Sturdy has been
very satisfactory to the committee and
the members are now convinced that the
new comforts and beauties were worth the
months Of homelessness and the $40, 900 that
they cost
