WITH SOROS AND FRATERS
KANSAS CITY, Mo.—You have no idea what a dither
prevails in these parts, imagine conn*less (Jreeks. . .dashing
madly... to session ... open houses.. . formats . . cocktail
soirees. . .house parties galore.
To the joint artists recital...To church with all three
groups. . .And things are just getting started. Before any
sort of climax is reached . .we must he hack home.
Old K. C. is positively seething with folk . some of our
most outstanding. ..especially Greeks. . .making new ac
quaintances. . .seeing long-separated fraternity and sorority
members. . .Or re-tying long severed ties. . .And don't forget
the smoldering embers of old romances.. .that may he re
kindled . and who knows. . perhaps burn forever and a day.
* * *
OF COURSE THERE ARE HOME FOLK GALORE
There are so many familiar faces.. .we think ourselves to
be at home... Right off the hat ..we ran smack into...
Victor Hicks, sartorially splendid. . a lovely thing clinging
to his manly arm . .pret’y Gwen Redmon of Chicago.
. Without moving out. of ..our tracks. we . orbed... our..
Mr. Davis, of the motor car sales company of the same name
.. and immediately decided that he was the most correctly
attired male in these parts. . .score number one for the
motor city. !
Evelyn Solomon. . .affected a hair-do here that she has
never achieved in her home territory . .swept exotically up
from her face at the sides...and then all sorts of tendrils;
and such... topped with a colorful nosegay to match her
gown.
All eyes were on the Walter Harmons. . as they came into
the Municipal Auditorium A. on Friday night... which was
the occasion of 'he joint formal. . .for fraters. . .sorors and
friends. . .of AK A. A I’hi A. and Kappa Alpha Psi. ..
Odalie was a vision in billowy white . .with the Harmons...
w ere the Ted Whites. . .anil the Boynton Miltons... Edith
was lovely in jade green.. .dotted with sparkles... and
Pauline came in tor her share of attention in very decollete. . .
black lace bodice and shimmering skirts.
Roberta McGmre was the target for many jokes. . .being
a very staunch Delta. . yet apparently very enthusiastic
about the goins on. At the time we saw her. she was in
ecstasies., .about a former Fiskite. . .that she had found
here.
.Joe Craigen’s eves were as big as saucers.. .when we ran
up and smothered him with a big hug... wondering who
would presume to take such liberty.
Saw Richard King. . .somewhat sad., at the news, just
received. . .that his mother. Mrs. Mamie King of Heidelberg
street. . had just passed away.. .he was leaving then to take
the fastest train home.
Beulah Whitby, draped in silver fox...and swathed in
royal blue maline.. .was with Etta Moten.. .who was sen
sationally attired. . .in something unusually Spanish looking
i...her tresses completely hidden in a bright scarlet turban
„ . .draped foreign fashion. . .the effect was devastating.
Nellie Watts. . .was with the most .
attractive lady.. .youthful face and!
snow white hair.. Miss Watts was
regal in an exquisite beaded cre-
Frances Raiford. was nothing
short of blase correct from head
to toe.. .and too. lovely in_that
smart cadet evening coat ,;under
which she wore a bizarre affair.
Mary Agnes Miller Wentz Per
kins.. .Jeanetta Welch .. Cecile
Whittaker.. Heitha Priest. the
Bill Matneys. . Garland Strickland
...were there, and Irene Graves
...although we never got to see
her.
Clara Welles a’.l but keeled over
when we had her paged and
Gloster Current was obviously
surprised and delighted to see us.
Mary Ann Clemon.. kept the
young contingent of Kappas and
Alphas...on the jump for her at
tentions.. and we learn belatedly
.. .that even our Ldflna. . .had a
petite affair ..with young Robert,
Defrantz. she was just carried
away with him he being sixteen
and just too glamorous to her.
DISTINCTIVE OUTDOOR
LIGHTING IN K. C.
The above is achieved... on the !
front facades and in the windows ]
of homes.. .Very picturesque.. and
contributing mightily toward es
tablishing the mood of the conclave
...are the lighted ivy leaves...and
. other Greek emblems.
The crowning event in this con
nection... is the huge Kappa pin...
which may be seen in the middle
of a sort of public square , at the
intersection of Eighteenth and the
Paseo. The builders of the em
blem... are Lucius Monroe ..Har
old Robbins.. .and Wendell Robins.

WE GO PLACES AND
DO THINGS
The highlight of our trip to these
parts... is the renewal of an old i
friendship.. .we dpuld hardly wait |
to get here...to see ..Edna Hoff
man. . pedagogue, at Sumner high!
school in Kansas City Kans. j
We haven't seen one another in !
more than a decade so of course [
