The daily star-mirror. (Moscow, Idaho) 1911-1939, 1919-06-27
MOSCOW ELKS' RECEPTION
WAS PLEASING SOCIAL EVENT

cling of the building, convenient
clothes presses have been installed
on the west wall where provision can
readily be made for the accommoda-
tion of hundreds of wraps. This room
has an entirely new set of beautiful
mahogany furniture. The walls are
in two shades of delicate green. The
hangings are also in a handsome var
iegated green sunfast material, and
the rug is the same taupe Wilton as
is used in the library. In the large
general reception room which leads
directly from the ladies' reception
lowed. A green carpet of linen Kraft
texture, delicate French gray wood
work, cream colored walls, and heavy
velvet portieres in deep green provid-
ed beautiful setting for the hand
some set of overstuffed tapestry furni-
ture and for the exquisite round ma
hogany, 54inch center table, which is
in itself valuable acquisition to any
room.
The cheerful card room with it's
leather covered tables, and comfort
able seats, the large dining room
tinted in tans and hung in loving fig
ured chintZ, the well-stocked buffet
with its open counters, and the hand
some well equipped kitchen complete
the down stairs series of rooms
In the kitchen where the work of
the remodeling is still going on there
is huge restaurant range for taking
care of the large supper parties,
there is a three-plate electric stove
for informal suppers, there is new
sink with huge drain boards, and q
hot water system by which every
bit of heat generated in the building
whether from kitchen range, furnace,
or extra stove contributes directly
to the supply of hot water, instead of
being largely wasted as heretofore.
By means of an easy staircase,
one ascends to the ball room which is
a veritable work of art A new ma
pie floor laid at great expense pro-
vides the best dancing surface in this
entire region. The walls are tinted
a delicate robins egg blue. The
hangings are in mulberry velvet with
old gold trimmings in a plain band,
the curtains are of plain cream color
ed scrim. About the walls there will
soon be installed in place of the rows
OF light chairs, a series of especially
built leather covered davenports
which will be provided with spring
backs and seats. These davenports
are being made to fit the spaces for
which they are intended and will COM
plete the handsome furnishings of
the room. Perhaps the most inter-
esting feature of the new ball room
is the lighting system. There have
been ordered for this room four new
fixtures in delicate cream-colored
glass. These fixtures are compos-
ed of four handsome chains to each
light, drawn into a ring, and from
these is suspended great bowl over
a second upturned bowl. The light
ing effect will be the very latest
effect and is a combination of the di-
rect and indirect lighting systems
In the ball room the dance floor as
well as the side wall platforms will
be provided at once with taupe col
ho onlo
floor will be made in four squares to
facilitate quick removal for dancing
and for cleaning.
The ladies' rest room off the ball
room is tinted in egg yellow, with
white wood work Tan hangings
over white scrim are at the windows.
Although the Elks have always had
1 full basement under their building,
he space has never been finished up
nto rooms until now, and the only
approach to it was through a small
md inconvenient staircase at the
pack. They have now built broad
nd handsome stairway leading
rom the front hall directly to the
easement, and the great space has
,een finished and made into hand
ONE billiard and pool rooms. Along
he north wall is new bowling al
sy, which is of the Standard tourna-
nent alley type and has the auto
latic pin setter. There is no better
r more costly alley to be had in
he market than the one now being
ally enjoyed at the Elks' Temple.
In addition to pool, billiard, and
ard tables, the lower rooms are
quipped with gymnasium apparatus,
small hand ball court, and with
inc shomer rooms. In the
