Showers of wisteria and dogwood falling from the depths of clever blue picture hats suspended from the walls, were the attractive adornments at the dance given by underclassmen of Hen dricks hall Saturday evening. The pro-' grams of blue with gold lettering upon them furthered the color motif. Part ners for the feature dance were ob tained in an interesting manner. In the center of the room fiery red flames burned, giving the only lights to the darkened room while girls dressed as elves tripped about giving to both men and women exceedingly clever little many-colored gumdrop corsages on which were attached a number. These were matchd and the feature dance be gan. Chaperoning the event were Mr. and Mrs. Marion McClain, Mr. Matthew Riddle, Miss Madeline McManus, and Miss Gertrude Talbot.

The seniors of Delta Delta Delta sor ority were the motif for a very attrac tive breakfast Sunday morning on the sun porch of the Osburn hotel. A large doll attired in a cap and gown formed the centerpiece on the table, and cut spring flowers were also used to adorn the table. Corsages of beautiful flow ers marked the places of the seniors, of whom covers were laid for six. • • • Old-fashioned girls pirates, bohem ians, Japanese and small youngsters were among those present at a party given by the pledges of Mu Phi Epsilon, women’s musical fraternity, for the ac tive member? and town alumnae mem bers of the organization.

About 25.couples were pres ent to enjoy the dancing. The feature was novel. A large May basket was placed in the center of the room and as the lights dimmed a little girl stepped from its massed flowers and gyrated in the ik)ft glow. Dorcas Conklin was the feature danseuse. Each man was given a rose in which Sprigs o’ Catnip By J. M. T. J. M. T. After elections are over, After the winners have won, What will we do for a topic or two To add to a little chat’s fun? “Gee, but how friendly he’s getting!” “Her smile is more sweet than of yore!” But after its done, and the race has been run, We’ll all act the same as before. All up and down the campus walks, The students hasten daily. They frisk along to class and lab, With faces smiling gaily. They do not loiter on their way; Library steps are lonely. They never, never, pause and stay I On that bench for seniors only. The truth from this is different, far. What awful liars poets are! How blithely doth the butterfly Each flitting hour spend! With fluttering from flower to flower, Her days must fleetly wend. Ah, let us, like the butterfly, Be happy all the day, For, boys and girls with faces bright, This is the nicest way. Get the Classified Ad habit. —aP' was hidden the picture of one of the girls; this was his partner for the fol lowing dance. Patrons and patronesses were Madame Rose McGrew, Mr. and Mrs. Roland Miller, and Mrs. Grace Russell. “Varsity Vanities,” presented Thurs day night at the Heilig Theatre was one of the largest University affairs of the week, and so successful was it that it may be necessary to repeat it for the benefit of those students and towns people who were unable to get seats. Each of the skits was very clever, with “Mummy Mine,” a musical comedy in one act, written and directed by Imo gene Letcher, the featflire of the even ing’s entertainment. All of the parti cipants in the “Vanities’’were Univer sity students and a great deal of hidden talent was brought to light. Ten mothers residing in Eugene were entertained by the Delta Zetas at a tea given yesterday afternoon from four to six o’clock at the chapter house. Dec orations were of spring flowers. The mothers formed a club which will meet regularly and discuss matters of inter est to the house.

BAYH’S DANCE STUDIO Phone 1341-J 155 9th Avenue East Globe Trotter in Ford-House Here Traveling in remote parts of the world, in a house built on a Ford chas sis, has its thrills for Sherman Cramer and his wife, who passed through the campus Friday afternoon on their way to Alaska, from the Orient. Mr. Cramer calls his portable mus lin house “the house of many won ders,” and he has made the term appro priate with a collection of trophies that he picked up on his travels. There are odd picturs, old and curious flintlock muskets, and trinkets of various des criptions, that were picked up in out of-the-way places. “Travel is a great education, and an experience that can never be taken away from you,” said Mr. Cramer. He carries a moving picture camera and takes movie soenes in the unusual parts of the world that he visits. He has done this for five years, and informed the Emerald reporter that the Ford he is driving at present is his fifth.
