TONIC THE STUDENTS.
(The Ring Tum Phi)

Last luutsuhJ ulBue """ VIZ N =
one Of the most pleasant social tunc-
tons that has occurred in Lexington
for many day. DR.. and Mrs Henry
Alexander White were giving reeep-
ton at their hospitable home, 10 one
who has ever attended o reception at
Dr. Whites this mention recalls the
happiest memories, for the genial hos
pitality which Is dispensed there has
become proverbia'. The beautiful
home presented an attractive and i'm
pressi,e scene az the happy hearts came
and went.
1t was in response to the invitations
sent out last week that so many bright
faces were gathered there. Few are
they who cannot overcome any diff
Guilty to attend a reception at DIR.
Whlte's.
The entire first floor was thrown into
one large parlor and in addition to that
there were numerous nice little ncoks
and corners for few words OF tete-a-
tete, but only fer few words, rs there
was continual changing around, meet
ing new friends and leaving old ones,
Exquisite taste marks the beautiful
furnishings or every hand, To and
from tho cloak rooms on the second
floor there was continual stream of
humanity. The writer watched them
with interest as they came one by one
or in couples only to be soon lost in the
giddy whirl of the evenings p!easui es.
At the entrance to the front parlor a
band furnished delightful music, but
music that was inferior to that which
the gay voices within were making.
DIR. and Mrs. White received the
guests and in this they were assisted
by Mss Sue Wexford, Of Richmond,
Others who assisted in receiving were
Mrs. Reid White, Misses Daisy, Sallis
aud Nsttie Preston, and Mrs. NJ. B.
Core
SO much did the Boys enjoy the
evening that they all seemed loath 10
leave.
Light refre ,hments Of salads, ices,
cakes, chocola and candy were served
in the bright dining room.
1t was with much regret that the
writer turned 20 say the parting word
and 90 home to try to study; but
pleas ant scenes will long fit before his
mental eye. Many new faces APP
peared at the reception (Of course girls
faces are referred to, for the new fresh
men is ever with rs), but besides these
there were thote who hove gladdened
land saddened)many,a Students heart.
