After all, the decorations for a
party don't make so much difference
the banks of palms" and the
rative feature is furnished by the fem
mime half of the attendance. If there
are a lot of pretty girls in pretty
| gowns, the party is q success. spec
/ tacular1y speaking, let the decorators
do their worst. And no doubt this
/ theory will account for the fact that
/ everybody raves about the parties the
high school sOrOrities and fraternities
give, and explain why the fellows who
/ graduated from high school ten or
fifteen years ago or longer try their
/ best to break in. But judged from
4 any standpoint, the dance given last
night by the local chapter of the Owl
high school sorority at HudSOn's in
/ honor of the visiting mem bers in town
4 for the first annual conclaVe of the
! sorority, which has been the means
! of giving Topeka a treat this week
| by the presence of the most alIuring
/ favored the town in many a day, was
a conspicuous success, and Hudson's
1 has probably never furnished the
| background for a prettier scene. The
entrance and reception halls were
transformed into a woodland setting
| by the use of many great oak willow
and locust trees overhung with trail
/ ing vines, underneath which swings,
hammOcks and lawn seats We're
arranged. The trees were dotted with
1nnum cradle small lights and owls, the
sorority emblem, perched on every
branch In the ballroom the walls
were hung with Owl pennants and
one big stuffed owl with blinking yell
low eyes occupied a prominent place,
with large round moon, invisible I'M
| til the first moonlight dance, to the
music of THE Owl and the Moon"
for a background. The native trees
were supplemented in the dancing
hall by palms, which screened the
| orchestra and made a mound, sur
rounded by a circular seat, in the
cooled by electric fans whirling be-
hind blocks of ice in which the So
rority emblems and flower, the violet,
had been frozen.
