Even though our usual meetings have closed, we have met often.
There was a delightful luncheon and miscellaneous shower for Edna
Froyd at Louise Clawson's home.
Edna was married on the 28th of June to Everett Scott, and our
Edna was indeed a lovely bride.
Then Caroline Paige surprised us all by announcing her engagement
to Dr. Carl Emmons, who is just completing his interneship in Chicago.
Eunice Steufer had the dearest baby girl born July 19th, but they
have returned to their home in Chicago.
Portland alumnae chapter gave a farewell tea for Myn Force on
the 30th of July. The Forces have moved to Dixon, Calif. Myn has
been our mainstay, and our only consolation is that some day Portland
may again be her home.
Dorothy Chausse has signed a two-year contract with the Family
Welfare Association of Milwaukee.

LUCILE LOYD HOOD.
SEATTLE ALUMNAE
A f t e r a summer filled with card parties, weddings and luncheons, we
are now ready to re-adjust ourselves to the fall and winter work which
is under the direction of Margaret Grant Widrig. Since the opening date,
June 23rd, we have had one girl at the Orthopedic Tea shop selling candy,
cigars, cigarets, etc., from eleven o'clock until two P.M., the lunch shop
hours. The Guilds of the Orthopedic Hospital take complete charge of
the serving of lunch and we find the women very interested in our work
and very appreciative of our efforts. They often make very good sug-
gestions and our girls thoroughly enjoy working with them.
One girl has charge of the counter and she makes arrangements with
the other girls to serve each day and orders the supplies. She takes
care of the financial end of the business, banking the money about once a
week and paying the bills by check. We leave a small amount of money,
not exceeding SI5.00, with the lady in charge of the lunch room, she in
turn gives this money to the girl who comes to take charge of the counter
the next day.
So far we have found the men very good customers as they treat
their friends to a good cigar and stock up on cigarets. I n fact we have
discovered that the heavy candy bars do not sell during the summer
months but Hershey bars, gum, life savers, after dinner mints and
small salted peanuts seem to be fast sellers the year round.
We have met with such wonderful co-operation on the part of the
girls who assist and have been complimented by the officers of the
hospital on our work so that we feel sure that within the coming year
we can make $250.00 in order to name an A. O. P. bed in the hospital.
Many changes have taken place in our group and although we are
sorry to lose them we are pleased to have the others back. One of the
first to go was Beth McCausland '22, when she moved to Venturia, Calif.,
to join her parents. She has been teaching in the English department and
working for her master's degree, which she received this June. A t
Senior breakfast her engagement was announced to Orvin Sandusky, who
is this year's Rhodes scholar to Oxford. He also received his master's
degree in Philosophy this June.
Helen Bogardus, '22, received her master's degree in Psychology at
Columbia this June and her work f o r the next year will be in Lapeer,
Michigan.
Margaret Shotwell, '23, is back from the Children's Library School
in Cleveland and will be working in our city system.
Eloise Ebright Jared came from Chicago to be matron of honor at
Helen Nelthorp's wedding. She was home about a month.

Mid-summer is always a difficult time to stir up chapter news, be-
cause those of us who can have already flitted to mountain or sea-shore,
and the less fortunate ones, who stay at home try to persuade them-
selves that the heat isn't so bad after all, i f one will only refrain from
thinking about it.
One of our busiest members these days is Elizabeth Kennedy, whose
work at the Health Center, always taxing, is now made more so by the
typhoid cases that have broken out among the poorer classes. Fay Morgan,
again, is not daunted by the heat, but frequently drives over f r o m Harri-
man, where she is the successful editor of a paper. You should hear
her tell of her all night vigil and the resulting "scoop" concerning the
presidential nominees. Lucy Morgan plans to leave soon for San Antonio
where she is to teach again next winter. She drove home in a Ford,
having only one blowout, and that about twenty miles from home. Let's
hope she'll have as good luck returning. Professor and Mrs. Oscar Wood
McLeary (Louise Manning Wiley) are gloriously spending their honeymoon
