influence has gone abroad. Yonkers is try

So also is Rochester, and in last weeks mail

inquiries from cities in dozen other States.
And the setting is a clubhouse that, as
faithful copy Of Colonial mansion in Bos-

tural ornaments in New York. In England
the home of the Carroll Club would be called
Georgian but in America it is Colonial for
obvious reasons.

brackets on the wall and the picture over

proportions. The theatre is attractive as
it is unitarian. Miss De Wolfe called the
