The Phi Delt spring formal last
night was one of the very pretty par
Ties of the season. The dinner was
served in the Virginia dining room at
tables seating eight. The tables were
decorated with flowers, the fraternity
colors, blue and white being carried
out by broad bands of blue tissue pa
per and baskets of spirea. In the
center of each table were baskets con-
tanning four corsage bouquets for the
girls. The place cards were hand
painted, and the favors were leather
purses with the Phi Delt insignia, and
a photograph of the active members.
An orchestra played while the dinner
was being served.
The dance which followed the din
ner was held at the Elks club. The
room was decorated with bands of
blue from the central light to the
corners of the room, and huge bas-
kets of spirea and snowballs- The
Phi Delt insigne in electric lights at
one end of the room, Stimulating the
jewels used in the pins, was very
striking and attractive. The party
