160 TO DRAGMA OF ALPHA OMICRON PI

tiated sixteen very dear girls who have since entered into Alpha O's
praise with all their might. After initiation we gave a banquet at
the Martha Washington Tea Room for the new initiates. Frances
Kelly acted as toastmistress after whom followed Ann White on the
"Stem" of the red rose, Helen Sutton Boney on the "Blossom," and
Edna McClure on the "Fragrance."

Dorothy Dunn was called home just a day or two before initiation
on account of her mother's death. She was initiated, however, soon
after she returned. Bertha Ruby had to leave school on account of
her health. She is now in Florida. We are hoping it may help her,
but she writes now that it is very doubtful as to whether she will be
able to enter second semester as she had planned.

Along with the seriousness of life, we are bound to enjoy a little
frivolity. Billy Kelley Cooper's wedding November 3d which was
supposed to be very secret, in some way or other leaked out. She
was married at high noon, and left for Chicago on the 12:42 p. M.
train. We met them at the train, and sent them off with a very
bounteous shower of rice, part of which she found scattered gra-
ciously through her suitcase after arriving at their destination.
After a short wedding trip, they returned to their little home on E.
Washington. We spent the evening of December 7th with the newly-
Aveds, our visit being in form of a surprise miscellaneous shower.
Billy surely has a dear little home, as cozy as can be, and we always
feel welcome to go there.

Again Theta wishes to extend her heartiest good wishes for a
pleasant and happy year.

Fraternally,
