POPULAR DANCES

WELLESLEY COLLEGE

The dance which the president and members of the Wellesley College Parents' Association held last night in St. Francis Hall was the first the asso-' ciation has held outside the college, and the hall was made to look particularly attractive, for the occasion. A bold arrangement and big yellow chrysanthemums, beautifully made of shiny paper, decorated the stairway leading up into the ballroom. They were also used to decorate the stage, standing in large urns on either side. From a cluster of balloons and scintillating tinsel, stars suspended high up over the centre of the baljroom yellow and blue. streamers radiated down to the four big parchment shades, which were fringed jrith streamers, out to the four corners of the room./ Befringed futuristic panels also were hung on the walls;
