The Scranton club, the new social
organization of business men, will take
possession of Its apartments in the new
Hoard of Trade building: sometime dur
ing the arly part of December. The
house committee in considering the de
signs and quality of the furniture and
furnishing has aimed to have only the
best and most artistic that money can
buy. Few, if any similar clubs In cities
of the elze of Scranton will possess
a more elaborately appointed house.
There are two especial reasons why
a pronounced tone and perfection are
desired. The club's personnel com
prises the most Influential, well-known
nnd well-to-d men of the city's pro
fessional and business elcmnt. They
want the bst or nothing for them
selves, and naturally, do not care to
entertain business men from abroad in
an Inferior way. In past years a Scran
ton man has been forced to dine or
otherwise entertain his business friend
from New York or Philadelphia at the
hotel or ot the former's home. The
one method smacks too strongly of the
commonpince while the other caused
either Inconvenience In the house or was
unsatisfactory to a degree relative to
the guest's rapacity for being made a
formal guest. The commonplace und
the formality can be done away with
by means of the club. Its scale may be
Inferred from the fact 1hat recently its
"Hirers tried, but without success, to
rent two floors instend of one and a
half, which was the space first decided
upon.

The site Is near the Oral school on a
