located at 7618 Woodward ave-
nue, just three blocks north of the
boulevard, which has been under
construction for the past few
months, opened to the public for
the first time Saturday night.
Money has not been spared in
making this a palace supreme. The
furnishings throughout have been
selected with the single thought
el pleasing the public generally.
Everything from the front door to
he kitchen is new, even to the
dishes and silverware.
Music has been selected with a
view to pleasing both young and
old.
As an added feature, free cup
readings will be given during aft-
ernoon tea. Parking for 50 cars
has been provided and there will
be no charge for this service.
Virginia Doughty, internation-
ally known virtuoso, radio and con-
cert harpist, has been engaged to
alternate between numbers played
by the orchestra. This young ar-
tist, whose harp took first prize at
the harpist convention of the world
in 1926, is a granddaughter of the
late Rev. Richard Doughty, one of
the founders of Ohio Wesleyan
University; a grand-niece of for-
mer United States Senator Hare
of Texas, and a near relative of
former Governor Willis of Ohio,
late candidate for the Republican
nomination for president of the
