The most delightful May fete ever
given in Topeka was held on the Beth
any campus last night; no more at
tractive place could be chosen for an
out of door dance than the close clip
ped lawns with their background OF
broad trees and quaint stone build
ings. There was an apprec1atlve audi
ence of beaming papas and mammas
and immaculate little brothers and sis
tiers. The line OF youngsters who
marched in first might have slipped
out of a Jessie Wilcox smith picture
book and were followed by the queen
herself, Miss Edith Rutgers, whose
white and gold train was prettlIy
borne by little Miss Mary Camuse, as
solemn and decorous as page to the
queen should be. Attending Miss Rit-
gers were Miss Antoinette West, in
violet tarlatan with wide hat and MISS
Mamie Zahner, in yellow, VINO per-
formed the browning ceremony IN an
exceedingly graceful way. They form
ed a tableau about the throne, and the
first May pole dance was given by the
seniors, who tripped in arrayed IN
fluffy white frocks with ivy WreathS
in their hair; they were led by Miss
Mildred Morton, who joined hands
with Miss Helen Louise Crosby, as
dainty a sweet girl graduate as one
could imagine. Next came a scarf
drill attractively performed by rib
bon girls in pink and white; then an
Irish folk dance to the rollicking |
strains of the ''Wearin' of the Green,
wherein every daughter of old Erin |
skipped bIithely as if the sham
rock which she wore on her breast |
were the only emblem she would own |
Each group did the intricate May |
pole dance perfectly. even the smallest
tots. who hoped in perfect time, and
as if they enjoyed it. The entertain
ment closed with the singing of the
Bethany song, THE Ivy Green" ana
a large Bethany banner was swung be-
hind the throne of the charming
Queen O. May.
