Theta Meeting.
The principal social feature of the Kap-
pa Alpha Theta convention, which is clos

the social charms and graces with which
they are abundantly endowed.
Covers were laid for 100 and the tables
were arranged in a hollow square. The
tables We're lighted with yellow candles in
brass candelabra and at5each plate was
laid a pansy on a spray Of asparagus fern.
The sideboards were hidden with golden
glow and palms and about the walls
black and yellow bunting were draped.
The menu cards were also printed in the
fraternity colors. Opposite the officers
table We're placed two large baskets of
flowers, the gifts of sister organizations.

tied with yellow and black bow, and
