TINE BALL GAINESVILLE.
Beautiful and brilliant in minute
detail and quite the loveliest and most
elaborate ball ever given in the his
tory of the fraternity. was the annual
valentine ball given by the Florida
Alpha Omega chapter of the Alpha
Tau Omega frltcrn4- at the. White
House on Friday evening, February
10.
The guests We're received in the
lobby of this handsome Gainesville
hostelry. and at $50 formed in line
for the grand march. Led by Mr.. Leo
II. Wilson and Miss Sally Guy, the
procession of merry makers wound its
way between the columns of the
spacious ball room which reflected
and glowed with the colors of Alpha
Tau Omega. Streamers of sky blue
and old gold coioring, We're artfully
used in adjoining the lights, walls and
columns. Lovely valentine decorations
were effectively placed in the great
windows. From the center of the
room the original university jazz or
chertra furnished a musical program
Of surprising excellence, while special
song numbers intermingled with the
encores, enlivening the gayety and
mefflInenJ OF the eNSqlng.
At Il o'clock tables were placed in
the ball room and a buffet supper
served. consisting of fruit salad sand
wiches, saltines, stuffed Olives and
coffee. Favors for the girls and their
cha perones were exquisite gold bar
pins engraved with 1920 Dancing
and merry making continued until the
early hours of another day, when the

memories OF a wonderfully spert night.
