Club Women Dedicate New Building
On Friday evening the entire COM
munity joined in hearty cooperation
with the ladies of the New Century
Club, when they formally dedicated
their new building, it being used for
the first time. Though not entirely
completed on the outside, the inter-
ior has been finished and is now
ready for use. The interior which is
wainscOated along the walls and
then plastered above the wainscoat-
ing to the ceiling which is of metal
makes a beautiful club house. All
the woodwork is finished in natural
wood and the metal ceiling is finish
ed in a very light cream. Dozens of
old colonial style windows in the
building will furnish an abundance
of fresh air and plenty of light even
on the darkest days. The windows
all swing on hinges and are then
regulated from the window sill with
patent catches.
For the time being the benches
haved from the club house fire some
time ago will be used. They have
been supplemented with several fold
ing camp chairs of sturdy construc-
ton. Each window is adorned by a
Dutch curtain of white. The library
or reading room which is to the left
of the entrance and which is closed
off from the main auditorium by
large folding doors is certainly cozy
and comfortable 1t contains Ia
dies retiring room and two large
huilt-in book cases. To the right oi
the main entrance is the gentlemen's
, retiring room and cloak room anC

the hall way is the spacious kitchen
