After an unusual number of dances
during the winter season the older
sets have resigned this form of en-
tertainment to the high school crowd,
frats and sororities of which have
given most of the large dances this
spring. Hudson's, which was the
scene of the owl sorority's first an
nual Wednesday night, never pre-
scented a more attractive appearance
or furnished the setting for a more
charming company than on this occa-
sion. The hostesses and their guests
included the sweetest and pretJlest
young girls in town and contributions
to the sweet sixteen beauty snow
from Lawrence and Kansas city, ana
in their dainty dancing frocks tney
made a memorably lovely picture Inc
sorority cOlors, pale blue and black
were used in the elaborate decora-
lions. Wide ribbons of pale blue
crepe paper, radiating from the cen
ter chandelier to the angle of ceiling
and wall and falling to the floor, en-
tfrely covered the ceiling and wall
space, and sitting-Out hooks in the
four corners were in black and blue
draperies. The resting. reception and
serving rooms were in the same col
ors with the sorority pennants, three
black owls on a pale blue back
ground decorating the walls, and in
the corners enormous oak branches,
reaching from floor to ceiling, starred
globes and with the wise birds, which
are the sorOrity's emblem, peering
with yellow eyes from among the
green leaves. The most effective fea-
ture of the decorations of the dane
ing hall was the big owl perched on
a crescent moon, the electric lights
behind which furnished the softened
radiance for the customary moon
light dance" in this instance danced
to the music of ''NobOdy's Looking
but the owl and the Moon" Mr.. and
