The vari- colored polka-dots added a cheerful note to one of the iolliest mixers ever held. During the dinner the walls of the dining room rang with college songs, and yells for every thing conceivahle. The waitresses were costumed for the occasion in aprons and polka-dotted caps. The programs, carrying out the same design, were of many hues. The guests of honor were Aliss Iessie Bonstelle and flliss illiriam Reid. fxliss Bonstelle, who has iust established her permanent playhouse in this city, spoke of the advantages and disadvantages of a dramatic career. She emphasized the point that some dramatic training, aside from lreing the heart's desire of every girl at some time or other, was a decided asset no matter what field of work an individual might choose. Bliss Reid, who was the second president ofthe women's League, expressed the pleasure gained hy coming hack and noting the growth and improvement, which she said, coincided with the growth and improvement of Detroit as a metropolis and augured well for future development of the college. ln appreciation of Fliss Bonstelle's presence at the mixer, and of Nliss Reid's return, each speaker was presented with a corsage from the girls of the league. Following the program in the dining room, the girls adiourned to the gym- nasium where dancing, to the music ot a peppy trio, and two readings hy Ara Charhonneau, occupied the evening till ten-thirty. The mixer was under the general chairmanship of Doris Hannah. The chap- erons for the occasion were: Bliss Ethel WV. Chase, Bliss Emeline Gardner, Aliss Frances Vlallmridge, and Airs.
