Show :ti comus club i 1 . 1 i Of Salt Lake City Will Have Its Open-; Open-; ing Feast on Thursday Even- ' ing. January 8. A NEW BOARDING CLUB, Here is an Idea for Families Who Experience Ex-perience Trouble in Securing Domestic Help. It remained for a number of the young men of Salt Lake to inaugurate a revolution respecting the existing high rates of boarding in this city. For some time not a few of the young men of unquestioned respectability have been quietly working to establish a headquarters where they could board in first-class style and not pay out all of their salaries to satisfy the inner man. Such a movement has resulted in securing se-curing a nice residence at No. 842 South West Temple street, which was recently occupied by Mr. O. J. Hollister. The house will be managed by an experienced experi-enced housekeeper, who will see that the table is supplied with seasonable food well prepared. The Comua Clnb which is the name of the organization, will on Thursday evensng, January 8th, have its opening feast. There are at present thirty members of the club which is the limit at any time and a reserve re-serve list is kept from which new boarders are admitted to the regular number. The club will by this arrangement be able to board for about one-half the amount each member now pays per month. No liquors will be allowed in the house' and each member will receive re-ceive like consideration respecting table ta-ble service. Each gentleman will be allowed four, extrr. meals per month and by thin provision he can take a friend with him to dinner. Thl Arrangement is only intended for boarding and the gentlemen will have sleeping rooms outside of theclub house. The boarding board-ing house and table is furnished in first-class first-class style and it will always be kept so and conducted in a like manner. There is no doubt whatever that similar sim-ilar clubs will be established throughout through-out the city In the course of time. In various cities in the east such boarding clubs exist and are a success in every particular. The idea of such co-operation is an excellent one and the course of the Comus club will be watched with interest. From this families who have trouble is securing domestic help might conceive con-ceive the idea of clubbins together and boarding at one house. If this was inaugurated in-augurated a great sleal of worry and trouble might be avoided by the heads of families whose chief perplexity is at present how to solve the servant girl problem. |
