J. A.
ST. PAUL'S Rice CLUE PASTY.
The member* of St. Paul's Rice
Club gathered at the home of Mr*.
J. Edward Hodges, on the evening of
Wednesday, the twelfth, for the pur-
pose of having a combined business
meeting and stunt party.
The membership committee made
plans for the new membership con-
test, which Is lead by four captains,
Roselle Hurley. Norrie West, Ruth
Greenhlll and Joe Ridder, and which
will culminate In a party given for
the winners next spring. Great inter-
est Is being aroused in this campaign.
Officers were elected for the coming
term:
Dudley P. South, president; Mary
L. Shacklett, first vice president;
Raleigh McKean, second vice presi-
dent; Gessner Lane, secretary; Roy
Taylor, treasurer; Jos. C. Ridder, re-
porter; Dorothy Porter, reformer for
the president.
The chief entertainment of the even-
ing was offered by a select quartet,
composed of Mills, McFaddln, Carson
and Bushong. Many .beautiful and
humorous selections were rendered by
these four.
The crowning event of the evening
was the serving of refreshments,
which was very well received.
(By Anah Marie Leiand.)
The Tatler Club will Entertain with
a dance at the Country Club on the
night of February 3. Invitations will
be issued the first of next week.

The Houston pageant was a spec-
tacular entertainment of last night.
Rice was represented, not only
through the direct representatives, but
also in other episodes. Misses Ellen
Farrar, Virginia Attwell, Katherine
Moore, Mary McKenzie and Anah
Marie Leiand were Grecian mains to
Helen of Troy. Miss Catherine
Waugh took the part of Salome.
Misses Annie B. Frost and Katherine
Dutton were maids to Delilah. Miss
Rettie Worrell was maid-of-honor, and
Miss Lola Shands and Lula Higgins
maids to Claudie. Misses Mary
Clarke Wier and Bertha Downs were
maids to Queen isaoena. Miss Bessie
Smith gave an attractive dance called
"The Flirt." Her costume was the
hoop skirt and charming bonnett of
old-fashioned times.
Rice was directly represented by
Misses Mary Louise Hogg as Grand
Duchess and Sara McAshan and Katy
Ruth Strieker as Duchesses. Messrs.
Caldwell MacFaddin, Robert Carson
and Willet Wilson were Second Duke
and Dukes, respectively. This episode
of the pageant was most charming
and attractive. Miss Hogg's gown was
of blue and gray brocaded satin with
a bodice of sequins and beaded orna-
ment. An elaborate neckpiece formed
the traditional Rice Owl white the
train was of silver cloth and tulle. A
head dress of beaded ornament and
bird of paradise completed the cos-
tume. The gowns of the Duchesses
were of white satin with trains to
match. The men were in full dress
and carried swords, the whole making
a very striking picture.

usual affair in the form of a "kid
party." Rompers, short dresses,

er such guises of childhood will be
very much in evidence. Charlie Dix-
on will play and the grand march will
be led by Graves A. McGee, president

TEN MEW MEMBERS M
BAND. AMMRTO PLAY
THE FRENCH HORN
Ten musicians have recently been
admitted to membership in the Rice
band, this bringing the personnel up
to 40 members. The new members
are Tierney (comett), Penix (bari-
tone), Sherry (aito), Dynes (bass),
F. W. Johnson (clarinet), Johnson
(comett), Cashion (bass), Briggs
(comett), McKellar (comett), Ander
(French horn). ProbaMy the most
valuable addition is the French horn,
played by Mr. Ander. This instrument
is very difficult to play but makes
beautiful music. Heretofore it has
been necessary to send out of town
for French horn players when wanted,
and Rice is quite fortunate in getting
this addition to her band. Mr. Ander
is an accomplished player and will
render a solo at the A. & M.-Rice
game at the auditorium tonight. Some
of the new members are beginners,
but the students directing the band
are looking to the future and building
up the organization. There iB a
clarinet not in use at present and any
one who would tike to play that or
any other Instrument will be given
free instruction.
At the regular business meeting
Monday, Neil Dargan was etected sec-
retary-treasurer. Campbelt, West, Mc-
Cullough and Mincey, directors, and
Supple, Mills and Mincey program
committee for the two trips to be
taken. Wademan was selected as
business manager for the trips. The
band has business meetings every
other Monday, and practice Mondays
and Thursdays. Fourteen dottars has
just been speM for new music and all
the men are enthusiastic over the
prospects of the trips.
The band wiH appear in uniform
at the A! & M. and Texas games and
at the Community House Sunday af-
ternoon.
Architectura! Society
WiM Sty!e Hangings
Drawings, of course. The require-
ments for membership and the timited
number of men who choose to take
up the profession of architecture make
it impossible for the society to spare
any of its members this purpose.
During the tatter part of the first
term the membership was increased
and a number of associate members
were initiated. J. Tom Rather. Jr.,
the retiring president, conducted the
initiations, after which the fottowing
officers for the current year were
etected: President, A. S. Nunn; vice
president, l]a Brown; secretary treas-
urer, R. K. Maddrey. An enthusiasm
without presedent seems to have pos-
sessed every member, and several in-
vitations to send work to exhibits in
other cities have been received, and
ptans are under way to offer an exhibit
in Houston. Already an exhibit of the
work of T. S. Stmons, inctuding de-
signs and drawings representative of
five years' work in the Institute have
been sent to the Dattas Architectural
Ctub.
A number of interesting speakers
are scheduted for the remainder of the
year and the society is looking for-
ward to a tatk from Mr. Ralph Adams
Cram of the Boston firm of Cram and
Ferugson.
Competition sketches for the repre-
sentation of the society in the Campa-
nile were recently submitted. Several
interesting and amusing schemes were
offered.
Those who remember "The Brain
Trust," a play presented by the Archi-
tectura ISociety in 1917, will be glad
to see some of the old-time enthus-
iasm again, although the plans for the
year do not include the production of
a play.
In view of this fact the society will
endeavor to gain back its old reputa-
tion by staging an exhibition during
the engineering show, and at an im-
promptu meeting last Tuesday it was
decided that a few social functions
would help liven the members.
At one time in the history of Rice
the Architecturat Society was proba-
bly the only society on the campus,
and it is hoped that with the help of
the alumni the organization can enter
the limelight once more and hold its
own with the best of them.
Y. M. C. A. IS ACTIVE

pteted a successfut drive for new

mitory boys and a number of town
