The first notice of the revival, printed the day the invitations went out.
Four sentences, and they open the club's second act. The clubhouse had closed; the dance was the device for getting members back into the room. It was held the following night — the paper of December 29 names the five men who ran it — and six weeks later the club elected the officers who would carry it to 1919.
The phrase worth keeping is “reopening of the club house”. Whatever had happened to the Emblem Club after Cheney left for Seattle, by the end of 1917 its building was shut.

TO GIVE DANCE. As a preliminary to the reorganization of the Emblem club and reopening of the club house, an informal dance will be given in the club hall on Saturday night, invitations having been sent out today. It is expected that a meeting of the members will be held next week to consider plans for the future.
