Twinkling lights that cleaned
through the little lanterns of red and
yellow, shedding their glow over the
fairy like scene of palms and bright
hued flowers, and above and around
the hall swung the Stars and Stripes,
mingling with the flags of France.
Such was the scene at the Ebell club
house Monday evening at the gay, the
laughing Cafe Chantant. The scene
was typically American. On almost
every space of wall, across the stage
and over the easements hung the ma
tional colors, while a tiny flag of
France now and then peeped out from
the midst of the foliage. Over the
easements were banked scarlet gera-
NUNS and peppers, and the same
bright flowers filled the tall Japanese
wall vases The program, although in
formal, was delightful and each num-
ber receiving generous applause.
Between each number on the pro-
gram each guest changed chairs with
his or her neighbor and informality
reigned. Prof. Nesbitt made pleas
sion of the program, expressing to all
his thanks and appreciation.
