An Enjoyable Outing.
The excursion of the Country club to Blue Mound last Saturday was by far the most successful one yet undertaken by that club. The attendance was large, some making the trip to the Mound by rail, some on bicycles, others in carriages, and a great many by walking. At
noon lunch was served at the summit, hot coffee being furnished all by Prof. Sayre. The afternoon was spent in games, base ball being the chief amusement. Late in the afternoon the return trip was made by the picnickers who were, perhaps, a trifle fatigued but thoroughly satisfied with the day's enjoyment. Much credit is due Prof. Templin for the success of the enterprise.
The Theta Party.
The members of the Kappa Alpha Theta fraternity entertained their friends last Friday night at Pythian hall. Although there was a large number present the floor was not too crowded and this together with the cool breezes and the inspiring strains of Zimmerschild's orchestra, of Kansas City, made the dancing doubly enjoyable. The decorations consisted entirely of flowers of which there was a profusion. The chandeliers were entwined with bunches of lilacs which suffused a delicately pleasing scent throughout the hall. Ices served from a booth in the gallery were the refreshments. There were many out-of-town guests among them being the Misses Knight, Dunlap, and Lee, the Messrs. Kingsly and Dunlap, and Mrs. Lynn, of Kansas City; Miss May Davis, Mr. Joe Morgan, and Mrs. Shellabarger of Topeka; and Mr. G. A. Hagar of St. Louis.
Barb Annual.
Last Saturday night one of the gayest balls of the year was given in Pythian Hall by the Barbs of the University. It was to be the final ball of the season and it seemed as if all the gaity of the months to intervene between this and the opening ball of next year had been collecting and had broken forth in one evening's entertainment. The chandeliers and gallery were handsomely draped with the old University colors, sky blue and corn yellow. The windows were filled with Marguerites and other potted plants and from behind banks of palms and flowers Buch's Orchestra furnished the music for the evening. There were more than forty couples present. Ices and punch were served in the gallery. The occasion was a gay one
