Soft Things For Jefferson Club Stag Quarters Beautified.

The Jefferson Club gets busy in a social way every once in a whHe and pulls off a unique stunt that is alike pleasurable to them and their invited guests. The club consists of about seventeen young fellows, who have established stag quarters in the corner suite of the K. of P. building. They "have been/furnishing the rooms in “stag” style, with an abundance of furniture and the walls are hung with pennants, college pictures, etc. There was otfly one thing sorely needed and that was soft pillows and the boys devised a means of supplying this want. They Invited, their girl friends to attend a pillow shower; invited a married couple to act as chaperons and provided a little dance to follow, having a few invited guests at the 'dance. The result was most pleasing and the Jefferson Club rooms are now comfortably fixed with about a dozen fine pillows, largely made' especially for the club. Some of them have the letters “J. J.”. neatly monogramed, while two or three have the full name of the club on them. President Don Beam made a neat speech welcoming the guests and thanking them for the pillows and the refreshment committee served the guests to ice cream and cake. - At about 9:30 the dance started and at 12 the guests were again served. The evening was very enjoyably spent and the club members certainly got in on a “soft” snap when they provided this means of supplying pillows for their quarters.
