decorated in the sorority colors, blue
and white. May baskets in blue, filled
with bridal wreath, a May pole in the
center of the hall wound with blue
and with the ends of the ribbons held
by dolls dressed in blue and white,
and numerous pennants combined to
make pretty background for the
charming hostesses and their guests.
