Afterthe refreshments, the girls spent a pleasant time in renewing old friendships and making new acquaintances among the freshman girls. MOCK WEDDING The Y. W. sponsored a Mad Hatter's party, March 2Ist. Some of the latest spring models will have to look to their medals, for the hats introduced at that party displayed unparalleled taste, dignity, and beauty. Games appropriate to a Mad Hatter's party were played—two-deep, the Farmer in the Dell, etc. The latest spring styles were modeled by college students in a style show. The party was climaxed by the entrance of the Wedding Party. Some of the bolder souls dared to kidnap the bride. They dragged her to a car and rode madly toward Clifton. The kidnapers were kind, however, for they brought the bride back in time to enjoy the refreshments. _BM 144.1.thit Page Seventy
