The ninnW.Dance.


 Good old college yel,s mingled hap pity with the merry laughter of beau tiful, eAquisitely gowned society girls Monday night when Greek met Greek at the dinnerdance given at the Bluff City Club hall by the mem bers of the Pine Bluff Fraternity Club. The affair was decidedly the most elaborate and thoroughly en- ioyable social event of the season The "Frats' were brought back to their happy college days again and the manner in which they entertained their fair guests was an impressive feature of the evenings entertain ment. The dinner-dance was char acterized by college ideas which were carried out at the banquet table, iii the decorations and during the dance which was i'll the nature of a cotiI- lion.
 The hall was never more attrac- tive. Greek fraternity colors and college pennants were everywhere and the decorations were tastefully arranged The dining room was one mass of ferns, flowers and college z and Frat" pennants. The interior of the ball room was made beautiful with two hundred streamers of blue and white, colors Of the Fraternity Club. They hung from the four walls forming a mammoth canopy. In the center was a hugh cone. From it floated twelve pennants, one repre- senting the Pine Bluff Fraternity Club and eleven representing the eleven Fraternities included iii the local organization. Four hundred and forty-seven pennants were used in the decorations in the ball room proper. Among them were represent cd one hundred and tWenty-seven diff ferent colleges and nineteen different .''Frats" throughout the United States. A bank of palms hid the orchestra of Professor Leon Block from view and in each corner of the ball rooms was 1 y cozy corner fashioned after the cozy corners so familiar to the col lege student. In one of the cozy cor uers, seated on a plain wooden box and held fast with heavy iron chain, was the ferocious Wild Cat" the en- blem of the Greek fraternities. It 7 had gone through the hands of taxidermist and it's obituary had been written some years ago. Therefore it was perfectly harmless. The "Wild Cat" furnished no little amusement during the evening,
 The cotillion was led by Mr and Mrs. Clifton Howell, Little Miss Lu- cille Tucker and Master Frank Trip lett were the favor bearers. The < favors were also in keeping with the college ideas and were miniature peI.- nants. fraternity emblems. small "wiid z cats" etc. Each "Frat" wore si1len arm band, upon which were embroidered their respective "F.a' emblems.
