Delta was very happy at the outcome of the rushing season this
year. At initiation, November 29th, we welcomed into our ranks eight
girls from the Freshman class. After initiation, there was a social
gathering. Each initiate was called upon for a short speech. We
had with us as special guests a member of the Providence Alumme,
and a girl from Alpha.

The dance given for the new pledges was held November 19.

President Bumps tried an interesting experiment recently on the
Jackson girls, demonstrating the practical as well as the theoretical
side of buying. At his suggestion a leading retail merchant of
Boston sent out eighteen different articles, two of each kind but of
different values. These articles were compared by each student care-
fully, and the result of her investigation recorded. I n a few cases the
articles were of equal value, but mostly there was from twenty-cents
to twelve dollars difference. I n the articles of everyday importance
much intelligence was shown. After the contest the articles were
collected and shown separately, and attention was called to the dif-
ference in quality, showing just why one article was more expensive
than the other.

The active chapter entertained the Boston Alumna? at the home of
Mildred Simpson '17, December 11th. We always enjoy the joint
meetings.

Delta wishes all the other chapters a Happy New Year.
"This world that we're alivin' in
Is mighty hard to beat;
You get a thorn with every rose
But aren't the roses sweet!"
