TH E CHEMAWA AMERICAN
N O N P A R E IL S E N T E R T A IN
The last society party of the year was given by the
Nonpareils on Saturday evening in the gymnasium,
and, like all the other functions of this nature, was
thoroughly enjoyed by the many participants. There
were several unique and original features cleverly car
ried out by the young lady members of the society.
Invitations were dainty and in the form of a question
mark; decorations consisted of butterfly bows made in
Nonpareil colors and held by clothes pins and suspend
ed on threads from a center grouping to all parts of
the gym, which gave a very pleasing effect. Violets
and butterflies were the refreshment motif; place cards
were butterflies and wild violets as boutonniere and cor
sage boquets. The refreshments were very dainty and
well served. Mae Adams, as president with the loyal
assistance of other members, was responsible for the
success of the party.
