Marking a precedent in social func-
tons given in this city for many day
was the elaborate ball of the National
Phi Delta Kappa convention held last
evening in the Eagles hall by the men,
bers of Chi chapter for visiting dele
gates. This was the first affair of it's
kind given in the hall since the Eagles
have built their new club house. The
decorations were unusual and occasion
ed much comment. All the appoint
ments were in red and black, the fra
ternity colors. Canopies made of
green foliage and entwined with red
and black poppies were arranged in a
most attractive manner over the shad-
Ow lights. Strands of green vines and
peoples were also used in ornamenting
the galleries and balconies. Many
handsome evening gowns were in evil
dence. 1t is estimated that one hun
dred and fifty couples were in the
grand march. Guests from many states
in addition to local persons were in at
tendance. The favors for the girls
were fischu pins inscribed with the
Phi Delta Kappa insignia in silver The
programs were attractive. They were
in the form of a white booklet in one
corner Of which was the Phi Delta
Kappa seal in gold. The girls pro-
grams were fastened with red and
black cords, while the programs for
the gentlemen were fastened with
black and red cords with white pen
ellis attached. On the first page of
the booklet was inscribed:
