Stie says: "It ffc a dream of beauty both, out vide and inside, and having sef;n it I can hardly wonder that the Civic I'lub of Harrisburg claim that theirs |s tho finost clubhouse in the whole iate. Certain it is that one coulil so a long way before finding anything ;noro beautiful. , "Situated in Front street on the * ?ry bank of the river, it commands from every window an extensive \ iew of river and hills. The house was a legacy from a devoted mother; ho left her own beautiful home io the Civic Club, and the club is preparing a handsome bronze tablet to her memory to be placed above ihe library fireplace. "Except for the large auditorium furnished in blue and white, there is nothing that would suggest remotely .ay thing save a very handsome private dwelling. It is more than a meeting house. It is a veritable i lub where the guests and members * an stay when they "come to Harris i'i;rg, can sit around the huge open lire in the gre?t dark panelled j library In the evening or in the' little writing room adjoining play * ards and enjoy themselves gener-1 :>Hy.

Directly out- I side of the club is a plateau on the i river side and' running down from | this plateau to the river is a set of i terraced steps flanked by Lomlmrdy I I poplars. The dining-room looks as I though it had been transported : straight from Oxford itself. It is j entirely in the perpendicular style ; with leaded panes to its windows ! and quaint old china closets and i cabinets. i "This club house is said to be the ! handsomest in the state and I can | well believe this to be the case. Not only the Civic Club members, but | the whole of Harrisburg feel a pro ; prietorship in this building with a 1 sense of deep respect for its beauty. ] This year they have turned over the j whole building to the lied Cross on certain days, even giving them their j china for their use, also linen and i everything that one might need, and i yet. although these workers come ■ day after day, there is no sign what j ever o£ wear and tear upon the I house. r \ "The president of this club, Mrs. ' William A. Henderson, is what might be called a live wire conservative; I indeed, if it does not sound too i paradoxical one might say a con ! servative of the most progressive : type. She chases no isms, she is not ;<one who believes that a single social i scheme can save the world, she sifts 1 out the bbst of everything mixing 1 in the new material with that which !is tried and tempered. Her sense jof humor is keen and delicious. I Many there are in the club who are | far more radical in their ideas, but i Mrs. Henderson is invariably elected I president of the club e'* ry year. "In Harrisburg as in the Civic Club i of Norristown the Civic Club was , instrumental in having tho curfew | law passed and whenever in a dis- I trict of Harrisburg it is felt that this i law is not properly enforced down | come the Vigilantes and see that it is enforced."
