AN ENJOYABLE EVENT.
President Winston's Annual Reception
Last Niqht at A. & M. College.

The first of the annual receptions to be
given each year by Dr. Winston to the
faculty and to the Senior and Junior
Glasses of the A and M. College took
place last night and proved to be most
brilliant success.
That these receptions will come to be
great factor in the social life of the col
lege is not doubted, and that they will be
| looked forward to with great pleasure
| from time to time by all who will be for
tunate enough to be among the invited is
a foregone conclusion. Later the pres
dent intends to give a reception to the
Raleigh people, and that it will be func-
ton of high social distinction, last nights
enjoyable affair made certain.
The event took place in the Pullen
building, which has just been completed,
The spacious new library was used as a
reception hall, and stands for ferns and
palms formed a dark green background,
contrasting prettily with the united walls
of the library. The color scheme was red
and White--the college colors-carred out
IN the draperies about the Libraries walls
and pillars. Festoons of red and white
streamers hung pendant from the ceiling,
and garlands of winter woodland ever
greens were interlaced about the decorated
pillars. The hall was brilliant with the
| glow of electric lights, making more beau
| tiful scene already lovely.
! Refreshments We're daintily served dur
ing the evening by the delightfully."- charm
| ing r. S. V. p. Girls who, elegantly
gowned and fitting about from place to
place, gave to the scene the appearance
of peep into Paradise. n the refresh
ment room were served salads, olives,
pickles, jellies, Holsters jutties and sand
witches, several kinds of ice cream, and
many kinds of cake. The Leazer and Pull
len Society colors formed the color motif
of the refreshment orom, and the blending
of the blue and white was most artistic.
| Levin's orchestra furnished music for
the dancing during the evening, and the
hop was a brilliant one. the natty cadets
uniforms being set off by the exquisite
dresses of their lady friends, the gentle
men in dress suits making an elegant set
ting for the charming picture.
