The second Of the lenten teas was
given last Saturday afternoon at

tily decoratcd-the one In violet and
white. the other in green and white.
Potted blooming hyacinths and cycla.
men. and feathery ferns composed n,
decoration, and combined their fresh
lovliness with the snowy whiteness
OF satiny linen and the exquisite
touches Of color on the pretty china
TO make charming effect.
The attendance was pleasing and
quite little store OF silver-the
offering OF guests-was put by In
the sui!ds treasury.
Mrs. Pechin was assisted In hor
pleasant duties by the associate hos.

WHY YALE AND HARVARD
 STICK TO THAMES COURSE
Old Rivals Keep Out of Hudson Re- gatta Because They Prefer
 to Beat Each. Other

Why do Harvard and Yale prefer to row by themselves instead of meet ing Cornell, Columbia, and the other varsity crews at Poughkeepsie?
 This question was answered by a Boston rowing expert at New London in this way:
 Harvard and Yale would rather beat each other than any of the Poughkeepsie crews. This New Lon don regatta is one of the biggest soc- ial events of the year. The Crimson and the Blue are old rivals, just as Oxford and Cambridge are in Eng land. They have become welded to New London and the Thames and do not care about rowing anywhere else. Yale was beaten by Cornell on Car negie Lake last year, and Harvard was outrowed by the Ithacans on the Charles River last May. so that it can not be said that the Blue and Crim- son crews have purposely avoided Courtney's crew. New London is a natural meeting place for Harvard and Yale and Is vastly more popular with undergraduates. and alumni than the course on the Hudson" P Just the same rowing men appear to regret that Harvard's crack oars- men will not measure strokes, with the various crews, particularly Cor nell and Columbia, at Poughkeepsie next Saturday.
