were recalled yesterday at a luncheon
given by the vassar club members of
Southern California in Miss Neatly
Stevens studio. The affair was de-
llghtful in every particular from the
artistic decorations arranged i'm the
rose and gray which is always associ-
ated with Vassar, to the dainty
luncheon served. Mrs. Andrew Stew
art Lobinger, who is president of the
organization. acted as hostess. The
color scheme for the decorations was
carried out even to the place cards,
which were pretty affairs of a soft
rose tint frightened with silver. Tiny
silver and pink hatchets, suggestive
of the day, were favors at the place
of each guest. Carnations supplied
the pink, while the necessary touch
of gray was secured by the use of
the college and college days, and all
during the hour stories of life at Vas
sar were told and many called forth
incidents i'm the lives of the women,
which were told for the first time.
