SONS Astounding made lovely eff
feet within a home Of charming
hospitality. Ia the reception hall
crimson roses were in evidence,
the mantel banked with magnifi-
cent clusters whose rich, deep
tones were emphasized in the
mass. The parlOr was entirely
i'm pink, pink roses in cut glass
vases and arranged in graceful
design upon mantels, making a
perfect contrast to the adjoining
room, while the library beyond,
discarding color scheme, had
roses of all shades in riotous pro
fusion, the whole resem bling
some chosen corner of a rose
garden. The score cards repre-
senting the four suits exact IN
shape and color, with touches Of
gold here and there, were excep-
tionally pretty and unique An
elegant salad course with peach
frumiz was served and with this

thoughts and attention Friday

sive ceremonies. Saturday af-
ternoon the Reading Circle met

gram announced in the year
book. An interesting and com
prehensive review of the Mod

Saturday evening was note
worthy because of the celebra-

marked by the admirable pro
duction of the Greek play,
'Iphigenia. Miss Vassar. of
Aberdeen, superlntended the re
hearsals of the play which in its
presentation reflected great cred

in the cast. 1t is hoped this is a
precedent that will find favor in
the future These plays are fea-
lures of College life elsewhere,

rate and successful perform
