shoulders rests the final responsibility for all
matters pertaining to the building of the
$4,000 club house which the club has voted
to build without further delay. In addition Mrs
Enloe is the new president of the Woman's Re.
publican Club and it is needless to say that in a
presidential election year that job in itself would
be big one. Mrs. Enloe, however is a capable
business woman and the work holds no terror
for her.
Four years ago when her husband died. she
took personal charge of her business affairs.
She rented her house on the north hill and
bought the James Cronin house on South Maple
street and has remodeled it into twelve rooms
and apartments for which there is already a
waiting list.
Il could have sat down and quit" Mrs
Enloe said in speaking of the grief which came
into her life, "but felt that the only thing for
me to do to keep busy every minute of the
time. | am enjoying what am doing very very
much"
There a number of college students away
from home who find real home and as near
a substitute for mother as a woman could be in
Mrs. Enoe. Il worry at night until every one
Of those boys is in: somehow with their
mothers so far away just seem to feel response
BILE for them" she said.
Mrs. Enloe has three children of her own
a daughter, Laurine who lives in Minnesota,

last year and son, Harold, II years old, who
attended Lewis and Clark High school.

for 10 years in Spokane. All of that time she
has been a member of the Woman's Club She

Willard Parent Teacher Association, and still
retains her membership
In her plans and dreams for the new Spo-
kane Club house Mrs. Enloe has always looked
forward to a structure of deep red brick studd-
ed with black mortar. 1t is not only outstand-
ing and beautiful but the most practical and
pnica1 and l;,to
repainting and the mending of cracked cement
will never loom up before the club as will be
the if to few dollars in the begin
ming something other than brick is used for the
structure, she said.
The new club will extend "a feet beyond
the present building facing Ninth Be

and have adequate stage there will be
check room and office on either side of the
trance. committee room and library is also
planned for the structure. The basement will
contain gymnasium and shower baths.
The present building will be remodeled to
conform to the architecture of the new struc-
ture. The present kitchen will be enlarged and
made into model all white kitchen. dumb
waiter will carry the food to the first floor.
The roof of the building will be raised and sky
lighted as to give model quarters for the art
classes.
Mrs. Enloe plans that the club building will
be self supporting. The main auditorium will
be built so that it may be converted into three
smaller rooms which will be rented for club meet
ings, luncheons, bridge parties and committee
meetings The Ways and Means committee has
machinery foot which they believe will make
the building pay $1,000 a year, which sum will
care for the interest and taxes 1t is hoped that
the new building will be completed by October
