that the people have awakened to

"Tho Democrats have been over

The Republicans. until recently

The same plan will pre- vail this year, the members of the house. pitalty in this way after notifying the management in sufficient time for their adequate preparation. Reservation of tables must be made before 10 o'clock on the luncheon day.
 The beautiful sun parlor at the club has been refurnished. and the draperies hung so that in its winter attire 1t will be an inviting and charming place Other Improvements have also been introduced to add to the clubs comfort and attrac- tiveness. notably the new paved automo- bile course which will make a decided dif- ference in the allaying of the dust troubles so unpleasant an incident to the joys of motoring.
 The clubs season for the feminine DOT ton of it's clientele may be said to open November 6, the day of the first table d'hote luncheon, when there will be a great number of interesting parties
