rs QUIET
JUST NOW

There is is not much being done to
promote the membership of the new
Hammond Country club. The reason is
that there are other matters which are
of greater Importance at the present
time
The club is getting ready to adopt
plans for the country club and then
the contract will be let for its con-
struction. These and other matters
have made the canvas for members
drag at the present time.
The progress SO far indicates that
the membership of the club will be
easily filled. That makes any further
canvas at this time unnecessary The
work on the club house will begin as
soon as the frost is out of the ground.

his collection of antique brasses and

cially enthusiastic over these an

none like them had ever been seen,
except in few ancestral pictures.

to mar the artistic effect of those
Japanese Prince and Priest robes
which Mr.. Dodge had used for
draperies over the table and stands
on which the candlesticks were ar
ranged. Draperies of a similar an
tique oriental character were used
effectively as a background on the
walls of the alcove, which simulated
an arrangement of Buddhist affairs
and surmounted by a fringe of gol-
den-tinted lighted Japanese rice pa
per N"pocket lanterns" which were
very charming and shed just the
right artistic glow over the affairs.
These oblong lanterns, with brass
tops and bases, are collapsible and
fit, one brass above another so
neatly as to be carried in a pocket,
hence their name. The majority OF
them were embossed by the black
crests of the families to whom they
belonged.

people have for some time adopted
