Newark post., 1914-12-16


ternlty in the Newark Opera House
last Friday evening was the usual
social success. The Committee on
Decorations had spared no effort
III providing an attractive setting
Tor the evenings entertainment.
A lattice work of blue and gold
bunting screened the elevation at
the rear OF the hall from the oppo-
site end was draped a great gold,
black, and white banner. The posts
running the length of the hall
were wrapped alternately with the
Delaware and Sigma M colors.
Around the walls were suspended
Kappa Alpha, Omega Alpha, and
Sigma Phi Epsilon pennants, with
every variety Of Delaware banner.
The stage was banked with ferns
and potted plants. ...
Sigma NJ dances have a reputa-
ton for beautiful programs, and
this years souvenir measured up
to those Of former years. The cover
Of white kid, printed in browns,
with touch Of pink, is suggestive
OF hand coloring in it's daintiness
After serving it's purpose at the
dance, it may be transformed into
beautiful card case. The pro-
gram proper is beautiful piece of
printing, presenting clever and
well chosen quotations on every
one Of the twenty -four pages.
The first strains of the orchestra
seemed laden with the song "She
comes-the spirit Of the dance, "
and conscious only of "Such sweet
compulsion (that) doth in music
lie" the young folks danced the
hours away. The patronesses were
