men were permitted to build fires and

In response to orders the Sergeant
went down the line of tiny fires to re-

that commander ensconced in q small
tent, hastily erected in a little grove
of cottonwoods. which afforded a
slight protection from the piercing
wind. Before him on the ground
from which the snow had been swept
lay a map OF the region. while all

The Sergeant stood for a momen,

AT. WASHINGTON CLUB.
Tuesday Morning Meeting Formally
0pens Season.

The first of the Washington Clubs
Tuesday mornings opened the new
home of the club, 1901 X street, yes
terday for the formal events of the
winter. Miss Mabel Boardman gave a
most interesting address on the Ameri-
can Red Cross work at the present
time. and not only was every place
taken in the large assembly room, but
her auditors overfiowed into the spa
cious rooms adjoining. Mrs. Wallace
Radcliffe presided.
Miss Julia Lathrop of the children's
bureau will address the club members
next Tuesday, choosing for her topic
The Citizens Of Tomorrow" and Tues
day, November "a, Vida Sutton will give
Her Point of View" original sketches
in dialect.
Before the meeting, as we'll as after
1t, members and guests made a tour
Of the house, which is now arranged
for the winter. and has every possi-
large membership of the club and its
guests on special occasions.
The new entrance on 18th street has
an anteroom and dressing room on the
lower floor. and in connection with the
drawing and dining rooms and the ball
room on the main floor, makes the ap-
proach to a handsome suite, which, it
has been announced, is available for
others as well as the club members,
and is, therefore, to be reckoned upon
as likely to be the scene of many social
events during the coming season
These improvements were made during
the past summer.
1t will be recalled that prior to the
purchase of the building last spring
by the Washington Club, it was the
home of the Russian embassy for, sew
eral years. Former Vice President
Fairbanks was another notable tenant,
as were Mr.. Ed de v: Morrell, one-time
representative in Congress, who pur-
chased and modernized the building:
the late Senator Murphy of New York,
the late Leland Stanford of California,
who built on the ballroom addition, and
various other we'll known persons who
followed in residence there the original
owner, who also built the house, the
late Hallet Kflbourn.
