A scene of royal richness was that
at the Southern club last night when
the D. DIS gave their beautifully
planned dancing party. The ceiling
was strung with many rich purple
and gold streamers intermingled with
southern smilax, whose gracefully
trailing tendrils gave note of rich
ness to the ball room. At the end Jf
the room the stage was draped with
these same colors. Two huge baskets
