Overhead was a galaxy of silver stars On a false sky of blue, which met side scenery of green and white. Archways were placed here and there brightened by tulips woven into the lattice work. Blue and white crepe paper streamers led to a large archway which was placed at the entrance. A delicious dinner, which had been prepared by the mothers of the juniors, was served to the guests who were seated at tables for six. Each table was centered with a mini- ature blue and white windmill and a pot of colorful tulips. VVaiters and waitresses were in Dutch costume.
