the dining room.
The large T-shaped table was pro-

narcissus. Down the center were five
large silver loving cups filled with
white roses, the sorority flower. A

Before the guests were seated, Miss
Caltrane, who so gracefully presided
as toastmistress, asked that they form

them because we wanted them to come
and help US celebrate in a love feast.

one of the brightest toasts was the
one to the goats:
'sBaa- baa-Kappa Delta, have you any
goats?
Yes, sir-yes, sir-three bags full
One came from Tarpon, one from the
west,
And one from Fernandina,
And all three are best"
The response:
"Three poor goats sat down to wait,
To think and ponder and meo1tate;
A spook passed by and he peeped in,
He ratified his bones and gave grin;
