The Marietta journal and courier. (Marietta, Ga.) 1909-1918, 1917-02-23

Marietta was happy town Tues
day afternoon. The rain had ceas-
ed, the sun beamed softly and APP
ril breeZes wandered pleasantly a
bout.
The streets were dry and smooth
and all the cars in town were go
ing out to the new club house on
College Hill.
Beautiful for situation" describes
the first impression as the elegant
little building appears. 1t crowns
a hill that slopes gently on all sides
to Powder Springs road in front
by wide driveway which extends
around the building.
1t has been said the finest thing
about the clubhouse is the view
from all the windows and verandas.
At this time not only several noun
tains are in full view but glimpses
of Atlanta and Kennesaw can be
seen not to mention a birds eye
view of Marietta.
The house is stained rich brown
with red brick and granite in the
wide veranda and chimney.
The basement has one big room
in which will be placed a billiard
table donated by Mr.. T. M. Brumby
Jr. There is also a shower bath
room and a lavatory especially for
men and boys and they can enter
to this floor without going up
stairs.
The front entrance opens into q
reception room which must be seen
to be appreciated The wood work
is partly old oak and ivory white;
the beamed ceiling, windows and
floors of oak and the doors white.
The wide open fire place is of red
clinker brick and oak In a wide
panel across the chimney there is a
magnificent tarpon presented by
Judge N. A. Morris, a trophy from
Florida
There are three immense Wilton
rugs on the big reception hall
matching the window curtains OF
dark figured silk. A long cushioned
seat runs under the series of wes-
tern windows from which the Ken
nesaW Mountains are seen. Many
mission oak rockers upholstered in
leather furnish seats. There is
big long library table on which
stood two silver vases and a big
silver loving cup filled with pink
carnations. The light fixtures are
of the big creamy moon effect a
gainst the ceiling and of lily-Iike
lights against the walls.
There is a comfortable dressing
room for ladies, suitably furnished,
perfectly dear little kitchen with
big range and a pantry near by.
Mrs. j. R. Bruinby, in white silk,
presided over the kitchen into
which sne welcomed many interest
ed callers. This cook was quite in
keeping with the elegance of her
surroundings.
Among the pretty girls who
handed tea, sandwiches, sailed nuts,
sliced lemons and sugar Jumps were
Misses Jean Wallace, Cora Brown,
Francis Law, Lucille Morris, Hattie
Black, Harriet Robson, Marie and
Martha Shipper, Mary Frances Gill
bert and Augusta Cohen. All were
in pretty afternoon frocks and hats
AMI made charming moving pictures
as they posed in smiling groups be-
slowing refreshments upon the many
delighted visitors.
A wood fire burned in the open
fire place giving a home-like air
of quiet comfort that was most al
Turing.
A number of golf enthusiasts
were playing on the golf course
which was being watched by DR..
Malone and number Of ladies.
The members of the reception
committee were very attentive to
the visitors and pointed out the
fine views, and interesting features
of the clubhouse Those composing
this committee were. ar. and ~.
