 The class songs of the alumnate and the clever tosasts made a pleasant &C., compartment to the enjoyment of the de- licious luncheon. The menu cards were exceptionally pretty. effected in blue and gold on matt paper and embossed with the words Lest we forget" In the center of the cover was dericted, in watercolor, the table of Mother Goose fame. which held the four and twenty blackblrds in a pie.
