BRILLIANT DANCE
BY THE SIGMA PHI

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
NEWARK. Del. Jan 16--The
fourth annual dance given by the
Delaware Alpha Chapter Of the Sig
ma Phi Epsilon Fraternity was held
in the Newark Opera House on Fri
Gay evening with all the pomp and
circumstance befitting such an event.
Guests were present from every Town
in the state, many of them from
Wilmington, and over a hundred took
part in the dancing.
The hall was transformed into a
typical college room by the lavish use
OF festooned bunting in the college
blue and gold and by several hun
dred college pennants around the
walls. The stage was occupied by
Jacobs Orchestra and was enclosed
by large banners bearing the insig-
MAS of Kappa Alpha. Sigma Phi
Epsilon and Sigma M. The college
pennants added their charm and gave
q distinctivey college note, while
banks Of palms and ferns formed a
becoming background for the pretty
young women and the natty evening
clothes Of the men. Countless cleo
trio lights Illuminated the brilliant
scene. Altogether il will go down in
the social annals of 1912 as a mem
orable event for the crimson and
lavender.
