PERSONALS
Isa Henderson Stewart organized a Mothers' Club in the little
mining town of Sierra City where she now resides. To this club
was awarded the $ 2 5 prize that was offered to any one of the 4 4 0
California state clubs which gave the best account in 2 5 0 words of
work accomplished in a recreational and social way for the children
and grown-ups in the community.
Mrs. Stewart was asked recently to serve as chairman of Sierra
County on the County Board of Defense, but on account of her visit-
ing trip with the chapters, she was obliged to decline the honor,
much as she would have liked to help in such a way.

At the recent meeting of the Panhellenic Congress, Anna Many
was elected treasurer for the next two years. The other officers
elected are Mrs. Collins of Chi Omega, President, and Mrs. Weston
of Sigma Kappa, Secretary.

Madeleine Doty's article on Oberammergau in times of war which
appeared in the June Atlantic is certainly worth reading.
