 The Sheffield society teas are among the very pleasantest happenings of Prom. Z week. There everybody meets everybody else and becomes acquainted and even friendly. When the great event arrives a spirit of congeniality has taken root, and that is why the promenade is always recalled with sin cere pleasure by the girls who live in the social whirl the year round, and { why the thought of New Haven is al-' ways dWelt on with such happy reninis- cences by the multitude of out of town belles

 Many of the Yale social week mov- ing splits were anxious this year to repeat the experiment of last year of hayHg vaudeville performance in the 1fberion on the Saturday night before tfH prom, but could not get the the ater. A conference has been held, how ever, between the junior promenade committee and it has been decided that an unusually fine production will be given there on Saturday evening, Jan- uary 21. It is rumored on the campus that The College Widow will be brought up from New York for one night in New Haven but no official an- nouncement of the play has been made. All the boxes and most of the seats in the body of the house have been turned over to the junior promenade committee to distribute among the stu dents who will take guests to the play -rtflat night This will maKe 1t largely Yale audience which will be present in the theater that evening.
