EAGLES SOON
WILL MOVE
Are Planning to Occupy
Handsome New Club
House on Lake
Shore.
DEC. 8 IS DATE TO OPEN
The $4,000 Building Excels In Ap-
pointments, Location and Archi-
lecture Any Similar Build
ing In This Vicinity.

The Eagles are screaming and flap
ping their wings in triumphant happi-
ness every time they fit down to the
lake shore where their handsome new
$4,000 eyrie is nearing completion.
And well they may for there is moth
ing for miles around in the shape of a
club house that will compare with this
ediice in general beauty, comfort and
adaptability to the purpose it is to
serve.
The building is of pressed red brick.
The architectural design is good, digni-
fed simplicity being the keynote which
is stuck in the massive, undercoated
walls, in the long, enclosed verandas,
the splendid great ball room with its As
by SO feet of floor space, on the second
floor, the great lounging room Of almost
equal size, fanked at one end by a
hospitable looking fireplace Of brown
brick which reaches to the high ceiling,
the airy, sunny billiard rooms in the
sub-story and in the long, wide entrance
hall
Outlook is of Beauty.
On the east, overlooking Lake Mich
gan with its blue waves, its long horizon
line, it's visiting sea gulls and the pic
turesque piers with the light house to
give an air of mystery to the night
scape, are two verandas, one on the
first and one on the second floor, run
ming the entire length of the building.
These may be used for open air din
| ing rooms in the hot summer evenings
or, as the upper one opens from the
ballroom, as an adjunct to the dance
hall. The music stand is built into one
corner of the ballroom and is some
twelve feet above the floor. The music
could be almost equally well heard from
the porch and in the room itself. The
decorations III the ballroom are to be
in old ivory. The walls are panelled
and the decorative scrolls are in relief.
This ballroom which is large enough
to accommodate several hundred people
on the floor has been built with view
to beauty and to comfort, for the east
side opens up with door and window
until on the hottest nights it will be
cool and comfortable.
Generous With Blessings.
The Eagles have no intention of be-
ing stingy about it, either. They will
rent it with dressing rooms and re-
ception room for women, to individuals
for large social functions or to other
organizations. 1t is SO arranged that
by closing certain doors the clubrooms
can be entirely shut off from the ball
room entrance and dressing rooms, and
by means of this arrangement it is
possible for strangers to be in posses
sion of the ballroom and for the club
members not to be deposed from their
occupation of the rest of the clubhouse,
or to suffer any Inconvenience.
Like the Fireplace.
LIE IUU Eagles WHO Iudh0 up the per-
sonnet of the club are themselves most
| pleased with the large club lounging
room with its fireplace, of any room in
the building. They say they can al
ready visualize the effect that will be
had when the ST 500 contract let to Bode
Brothers Furniture company has been
fulfilled, for the Bode Brothers company
promises much that is beautiful in leath-
er furniture, in brown hangings and
harmonious decorations in the hooks
and corners which will add to the gen.
eral homey-ness of the place.
The woman s room on the first floor
is to be another artistically decorated
place and is to have hangings of Gre
tonne in which mulberry shades pre-
dominate; the rug will be in mulberry
tones and the cushions in the ivory
finished reed furniture will match the
hangings.
On the west side of the main floor is
the serving room where lunches and
drinks will be served at tables on order
A handsome bar is just back of this
room but it is so arranged that it will
not be convenient to serve any drinks
