Splendid Settings ,
for Most Exclusive
Bouquets at New Club

Setting is adequate for the most
exclusive and imposing social func-
tons, banquets or dinners, in the
magnificent old blue and ivory din
ing room on the third floor of the
new Athletic club, which vies with
the most beautiful dining rooms in
the country in beauty of design and
richness of furnishing.
Stenciling has been eliminated
from the old blue and gold striped
silk walls. Bronze velour hangings
with embroidered lambrequins and
trimmed with heavy silk fringe and
tassels draped over lace window
panels; Hepplewhite tables and
chairs Of solid mahogany with old
blue tapestry seats contribute to the
satisfaction of this room.
A balcony or mezzanine floor.
overlooking the dining room, where
tables are placed also for dinner and
which will be open each afternoon
for tea add to the attractiveness of
the whole. Ferns and other greens
will be placed along the railing of
the mezzanine floor.
Four attractively furnished private
dining rooms complete the front
section of the third floor. The
kitchen occupies the rear.

the 30-mile line of vessels sprang
into light. Then. suddenly. the great
fleet of battleships, cruisers, torpedo
destroyers, mine-layers and patrols
united in one huge, svnchronized
diapson that startled the hearers for
a radius of 100 miles. The ire
mendous sound re-echoed amongst
the hills on both shores, awesome in
its intensity.
A hundred searchlights, which, for
four years, had resolutely watched
the skies, or peered steadfastly along
dark waters for enemy craft, mer-
rily criss-crossed about the sky.
Flares were lit, star shells fired and
here and there some of the greater
ships were fortunate in fireworks
display.
For 90 minutes the fleet threw off
all reserve and let itself 60 At 9
o'clock the sirens suddenly si1enced

Jewish Correspondence
Bureau Issues WARNING

Amsterdam.-The Jewish CORE
spondence bureau at The Hague has
issued warning against the Turkish
grand rabbi, Ihaim Nahum and his
deputy, Nissin Nazliah, who have
arrived at The Hague from Con-
stantinople on their way to America
and Paris, with the intention, the
bureau says, of creating a sentiment
favorable to Turkey, particularly in
America, and of playing off the in
terests of the entente powers in the
east, one against another.
"Ihaim," the bureau says, rs an
opponent of Jewish national and
Zionist aspirations. The Jewish
people views its liberation from the
Turkish yoke and a British pro-
tectorate as the only way to attain
an independent Jewish state"

above all morale problem, and it
must be faced as such, with the full
cooperation Of families and friends
here in this country, if it is to be
solved successfully. Every one who
has a son, a brother or sweet
heart over there must help.
While the war was on our boys
were fully occupied; they were still
filled with the spirit OF adventure,
looking forward rather than back.
Now, however, the fighting is at an
end. They are going to remain, most
of them, many months doing work
which will be neither exciting nor
particularly interesting. They will
get lonesome, bored and terribly
homesick.
The $l70,O00,000 raised in the re-
cent united war work drive is TO
be used precisely to bridge over
this period by providing recreation
and amusement. But no amount of
mere money expended in such way
will be enough. What these boys
really want is not diversion, but
human interest and sympathy.
These things expressed in letters
from home will warm their he 5

around them, even while they are
absent from the family circle.
Such letter may be a very neces-
sary sheet anchor to windward in
the case of some boys. The thought
of some one waiting for them,
counting on them, will, more than
anything else, make them hold back
and think twice before plunging in
to situations which might mean
harm and unhappiness for them"

Spacious Quarters

Guests Comfortable

Sleeping quarters in the new club
house, from the fifth floor up, are
spacious, the furnishings we'll chosen
and with an eye to mans comfort,
which make them particularly
home like. The furniture is of ma
hogany and maple, built on simple
lines. the special feature being the
old fashioned chest of drawers with
separate mirror, instead of the
conventional dresser or chiffonier.
Each room is furnished with ma
hogany desk and waste paper basket
to match; clothes closets, tapestry
chairs and cretonne hangings carry
ing out a gray and rose color
scheme, and grip stands. The
choice rooms have the complete
bathroom with built-in tubs and fine
sanitary fixtures, the others lack the
tub. Separate baths are installed in
each corridor.
Well-chosen pictures are being
hung in each room, all of which are
furnished alike, with the variation
of different color schemes on sepa-
rate floors.
There are sixty sleeping rooms.

Captain Palmer and He House.
Capt, Nathaniel Palmer, when only
a boy Of twenty-one, became master of
the sloop Hero and sailed on sealing
voyage to the South Shetland islansas.
Whaling and sealing ventures brought
wealth to Stonlngton shipowners and
captains, but this voyage Of Captain
Palmer resulted in find" more valu-
able than any cargo, however rich.
The "and" was the Antarctic cont.
nent.
The Hero was one Of a squadron Of
vessels that reached Yankee Harbor,
Deception island. during the season Of
1S2O-21. It was from that place that
the lookout, on an unusually clear day
discovered volcano In action. Cap
tain Palmer was dispatched in the
Hero, a sloop Of only As sons burden,
to examine the Hnountakn and the re-
gion In which ftAwas situated. The
boy sailed safely across the uncharted
sea and found an unknown continent.
The home Of the discoverer Of the
Antarctic continent still stands In
Stonlngton and Ia now the Wampos-
sett Inn. Like It's old owner, It has
withstood the bufgetings Of the sea.
In great September gale which swept
the coast century ago. this house was
lifted from Its foundations by the
force Of the waves aud dropped into
the cellar. AS there were no jack
screws In those days, the building was
gradually brought back into place by
wedges.
