many stories as the papers will use, and try persuasively to get the editor
to give tne some free advertising. I also do the platform introducing of
the speakers, etc. Then my time is taken up with rebooking the town for

I'll never do it again so long as I live, so help me Annabel!"

Many interesting ietters come from Helen Haller. She is enjoying
greatly her work as assistant secretary to the comptroller at the Uni-
versity of Southern California with its "nine thousand students and fac-
ulty over twice the size of Miami's." She is also taking a course in in-
surance at the university. But in spite of her busy-ness, she has time for
fun. For instance: "We had a marvelous week-end. Eight of us started
out on Saturday afternoon in our knickers, without toothbrushes in our
pockets and our food in bags, and went on a hiking trip up the mountain.
We walked rather slowly up the trail, because we had two tenderfeet
(tenderfoots?) with us." Helen has enjoyed attending some of the meet-
ings of the Los Angeles Alumnae chapter.
Jean Jones Henderson writes that she enjoyed a very quiet life in
Tulsa this summer, not going away as usual. She is delighted that A. O. I I .

be an Alumane Association in Tulsa some day.
