is a big sister. These children we go to see twice a month, as often
as the rules of the Asylum permit, and we enjoy playing games
with them and the rest of the children in the Home even more than
they enjoy playing themselves.

I t had been our plan this Christmas to give the children a tree
on the Tuesday before we left college; but as it was impossible for
us to have the entire asylum ourselves, we asked the other fraterni-
ties whether they were willing to go in with us to help us. K K T ,
X f l , $ M, and A A I I were delighted to do so. The other frater-
nities were prevented from joining our party because of other chari-
table work they had on their hands. We had planned a delightful
entertainment for the children, but at the last minute we were
notified that the Home was quarantined because of scarlatina, and
our affair could not take place. We sent everything up to them,
but that did not make up for our disappointment and the children's.

The holidays have brought back many of our alumna; to us and
even though we in New Orleans are scattered over all parts of the
city, our holidays are made that much brighter because our sisters
are here.

Pi wishes every active and alumna member of Alpha Omicron Pi
all success and happiness for the new year.

at Montclair, N . J. Alison spent her honeymoon hunting in the
Adirondacks and is now at home at 40 East 49th Street. She talks
of returning to college next year. Mr. Murphy, who has just re-
tired as deputy assistant district attorney, has formed a partnership

with Mr. W. H . L . Edwards and will practice law at 26 Liberty
Street.

New York University Law School had forty women in line in
the great Suffrage parade just before election. Our chapter was
well represented in that group and elsewhere in the parade.

Though we have given four rush teas this f a l l we have not yet
finally decided upon our initiates. Since we live all over the city
and come for our university work at different hours, i t is very hard
for us all to get together at any one time—but that very difficulty
