program had been prepared for the oc-
c%asiou, and its rendition elected much
applause.
Miss Bessie Heron executed a beau
tiful piano solo, and Miss Reesie Giles
pie sang a bewitching little song. She
was followed by a reading from Mark
Twain by Miss Willie Young, the Glass
President. A literary puzzle was then
submitted to such of the guests as wish

the one answering the highest number
of questions correctly. When results

Covers for forty persons were laid In
the spacious rotunja on the third floor
of the College building. A fairy-like
scene greeted the eyes Of the guest, up
on entering a spot where it seemed so
many fairies had been busily decorating
for the benefit Of earthly mortals. The
College colors, blue and white, hung 10
gossamer folds from pillar to pillar and
from floor to ceiling. Potted plants,
rare exotics, beautiful cut flowers,
palms and ferns greeted the eye and
ear. The class flower, the lovely Car
nation, vas much Ia evidence, these
flowers having been supplied by a
prominent Memphis florist. From a
hidden alcove sweet strains of music
floated out upon the air, the accompa-

Miss Ethel Dye, formerly a resident Of
Grenada, now a boarder at the College.
Miss Mary V. DJval, the Lady Man
ager OF the organization, was chosen
also 10 act as toast mistress. The first
toast announced was, ITO the Guests of
the Evening"" pledged by that genius
of elocution, or rather of cratory, the
gifted Miss Lilly Mitchell. In behalf
Of the Faculty and other guests, this

Miss Daisy Dye, one of the popular
College teachers. Later on, Miss Ada
Walton proposed a Toast to "Our Col

would say:
