was i n the f o r m o f a supper. We were especially g l a d to see Eliza-
K A T R I N A O V E R A L L , Chapter Editor. beth Moss and Edith Ives, who had an interesting story to tell of
how they happened to be there. I t was due to a chance meeting w i t h
Claire Graeffe, one of the supper hostesses. She was lunching at a
New Y o r k hotel on the Saturday before the meeting, where she iden-
tified Elizabeth and Edith by their pins, and urged them to come to
the supper. A t the second meeting, officers f o r the coming year were
elected.
We are hoping to do much this year. We shall probably be able
to again use the N u chapter-room i n the N e w Y o r k University L a w
School. We shall keep on with our social meetings, and perhaps do
some outside charitable or war-time work. W i l l anyone coming to
New York send her name and address to our secretary, Eva Marty,

soon. Our meetings are exceptionally interesting, f o r San Francisco
Alumnae is so fortunately situated as to have a large number of girls
l i v i n g near so that at every meeting there is a personnel of a different
character f r o m a l l the others. I t w o u l d be perfect i f a l l the mem-
bers could be present at every meeting, but as this is impossible i t is
d e l i g h t f u l to consider each group as unique. W e occupy a somewhat
different position f r o m that of older sister to the active chapter at
Berkeley. I should rather say we were the affectionate and proud
brother to a charming and b e a u t i f u l young sister, f o r we watch w i t h
a very lively but detached interest the progress and triumphs of this

A goodly number of alumnae were present at the initation and ban-
