At PEMBROKE HALL.

Pembroke, hall, last evening, presented
scene of unusual beauty and brilliancy
the occasion being the annual senior re-
reptiof
From the hours OF until after mid
night the rooms were thronged with the
young men and women of the college
together with their dear 500 friends"
many OF whom fingered I'm the beautiful
~ decora ted rooms, seen on every side
while others sought the tent on the cam
pus which was beautifully illuminated
for the occasion with Japanese lamps.
But. by far. the greater number were
attracted TO the upper hall where dan
cling was enjoyed to the fascinating mu-
sic OF Singletons orchestra, Here, not
withstanding the fact that there was "A

Upon entering the main hall one ex-
claimed at once upon the singular beauty
and artistic design OF the decorations.
The stairways were outlined with great
cushions innumerable softly shaded
lamps etc, all lent beauty and charm TO
the scene, so that one could scarcely
recognize the Pembroke OF old.
he decorations were planned and ar
ranged by the three Greek societies OF
the college and the colors representing
each society predominated The Alpha

the first floor, was a marvel OF originality

Here, extending entirely around the
room midway between the Hoor and cell

and hundreds OF small pictures which
represented scenes I'm the Shakesperean
plays. which have been given by Alpha

Upon a raised platform was created

ions While throughout the room were
great vases of buttcrcnps and daisies ana
jardnieres OF palms and ferns.
On the second floor the Delta Sigma

boughs of oak forming the chief decora-
tive scene. while great lars OF daisies

Altogether the affair was brilliant
