Mrs. R. H. Delehay pleasantly enter
tanned about forty ladies yesterday after
noon at o'clock tea.
The guests were received in the draw
ing room richly decorated in roses, holly
hooks and poppies. their brilliant hues
softened and enhanced amidst a pro-
fusion of asparagus fern. At o'clock
the guests were seated at small tables in
the library and drawing room, a name
card at each place indicating the ar
rangement of the guests. 4 small bou-
quet of pansies, corn flowers, mignonette
sweet peas or some one of the many
species of roses Ornamented the center
of each table, the centerpiece doilies and
frequently the service itself correspond
ed with the color of the flower.
Asparagus ferns .futtered over the
white lace curtains, and the mantel was
partially hidden behind quantities of
these same feathery branches. through
which were seen several vases filed with
the velvety crimson black rose.
Mrs. Delehay gave her second tea this
afternoon to about the same number Of
friends.
Washburn Seniors Boat Ride.
The seniors of Washburn college and
few invited friends enjoyed boat ride
on Soldier creek Wednesday evening,
after much difficulty in obtaining the
boats. The party arrived at Garfield
park to find that the props and sophia
mores, having heard of the seniors pleas
ant plans fer the evening, had arrived
ahead of them and taken possession of
every boat on the creek, with a firm re-
solve to hold them all evening, but the
wise seniors leaving them to their imagi
nary sport went away. The invited guests,
however, remained, and not being
known cleverly worked a bit of
of strategy. The boys on the creek, not
seeing the seniors, rowed in and hur-
riedly handed the boats over to the sup
posed disinterested parties and ERE long
the graduates of "95" were enjoying the
moonlight night on the creek, much to
the chagrin of the other students.
The boating party consisted of Mr.. and
Mrs. Wahle as chaperons, Misses Lucy
