COUNTRY CLUB ONE OF
PENsAcOLAs BEAUTY SPOTS

Few large functions have brighten
ed the early Writer season, but there
is a great deal of informal entertain
ing, and none of these bright infor-
malities has proven mere delightful
than the afternoon tea parties at the
Country Club, which grow each day in
popularity.
To sit in this charming tea-room,
with its beautiful appointments, its
CHEEKY open fire, and cup of hot
tea on chilly day, and to look out
over the sparkling waters of the bay
at the most wonderful scenery in the
world, is to realize how rich is Pen
sacola in natural beauty and h,w Ior-
tunate the frequenters of the Coun-
try Club.
1t matters not how far one may
have travelled or how rich in expert
ence one may be. nowhere in the
world may one find more charming

this charming environment.

The walls are in soft shade Of
smoke rose with putty colored wood
work, and the colonial draperies in
tones of rose, with quaint paroquets
and great old-fashioned roses are just
what one would wish for ones own,
the soft rugs in their pastel shades,
the wicker chairs with their rose-col-
ored cushions, the dainty tea tables,
and the quaint candle sticks, are too
lovely for any everyday adjectives to
describe. And here, again, the Au-
tumn leaves seem to be just what one
would wish to find in such charm
ing setting.
And then there are the dressing
rooms. Perhaps when you zee these
you will almost forget the tea-roon.
The walls here are blue with white
woodwork, the dainty white curtains
have overdraperies of white and blue.
The charming little dressing table is
upholstered in blue, and the furnish
ings are of white enamel, the whole
fresh and bright and inviting.
The card rooms and the dining
room are upstairs, and here, too, one
finds everything beautifully bright
and clean, with the same wonderful
outlook over the water. The card
room conveniently accommodates
seven tables, and other rooms may

essary. The draperies here, and the
pots of flowers viii make these
rooms bright and charming for the
winter.
In making over the club house,
while the interior is especially lovely,
the outside also presents most at
tractive appearance 1t has been done
over in terracotta and forest green,
with trimmings of deep cream, and
is admirably suited to its environ
ment. To the rear are the woods, a
thicket of palmetto and vines and
shrubbery, where in summer many
wild flowers blossom, where in the
early Autumn days thousands of
bright-winged butterflies hover, and
where much of the dense growth re-
mains green all winter long.
Beyond are the golf links, where
at almost any time Of day one may
see golfers at play. The tennis
courts are near the water, to the
southeast, and these are now being
renovated. At any time of day or
night there is a most wonderful view
from the Country Club verandas, with
their great hickory chairs, for no
where else in the world may one find
a scene more marvellous than that
which is spread before one-the water
with its varying opaline tints, under

beauty. The Country Club is always
greatly appreciated each winter by
visitors to the city, and is favorite
rendezvous, especially of the service,
who find in the charming rooms with
their outlook over the water a de-
ightful place to spend leisure hours.
Town and bayshore society, too, are
coming to use the club house more
and more, not only for formal enter
tainments, but for those small affairs
which draw together only few con-
genial friends for few hours.
The recent renovation of the club
house has added very much to It's
charm, both the exterior and Interior
of the Country Club having been re-
Gently re-painted and re-decorated,
the whole being most harmonious and
artistic.
The most popular place at the
Country Club is "the lounge" or re-
ception hall, with its wide inglenook
which burhs great logs of drift-wood
and seems, with its CHEEKY glow, to
typify the welcome of the club. Or
a bright winter day to visit the club
and sit before this great open fire
or to have tea in the newly decorated
tea room, looking out upon the water
is an experience Of charm that one
does not soon forget.

been done over in tones of tan and the

A HILL IN PIcARDY.

By Clinton Scotland.
There is little hill in Picardy
That, in the bygone days, was fair
to see
With silvery leaves of the slim poplar
tree.
All, lovely little hill in Picardy!
White were the boles as are a maid
ems hands;
And there were willow withes and
backwards,
And ferns, with frail antennae of
their fronds.
All, lovely little hill in Picardy!
And there the purple violets made
spring
A dream of loneliness; many ten

And there was morn and vesper song

Whereto the wind joined with its joy

And there was kindly shade for the
sleek herds.

But now-but now-what is there

derfull harmonious way. In the
warm glow of the inglenook or loung-
ing in one Of the many easy chairs,
one could find much of beauty to
dream of, in this charming setting Of
water and woodland.
The reading room with it's books,
magazines and writing materials, al
ways at hand, is no less charming
than the CHEEKY reception hall. The
walls are tan and green Colonial
draperies are beautifully suited to
the room, with its tan walls and
brown woodwork, and the dull green
pottery jars of Autumn leaves blend
here as beautifully as everywhere else
about the club house.
But if one finds the welcome of
the reception hall delightful, the ball
room all that it should be, in its new
dress, and the reading room bright
and inviting, it is to the tea room
that one loses ones heart entirely
One feels that one needs some very
special adjective in describing the
Country Club tea room. It is so ex-
quisitely dainty, so artistically beau

spots, but none, perhaps 50 heauti-

And one cannot speak Of the club
without mention Of tie Young chate-
laine who is in charge there, Miss
Marguerite Ingraham. Miss Ingra-
ham, by her executive ability, tact,
and artistic sense, has done much to
make the club house more inviting,
and to add to the comfort and pleas
