work. She visited Etta Lantz at Bluffton, Ohio, during the Thanksgiving
vacation.

Katherine Buenger, '15, writes most interesting letters about her work as
teacher of household science in a night school in St. Louis.

Avis Coultas, '13, is staying at her home in Sycamore this year, and is oc-
casionally helping her father in his work. Mr. Coultas is County Superin-
tendent of Schools in De Kalb County.

Many of our alumnae are growing anxious to see California. Mabel Jackson,
'15 writes most glowing accounts of the scenery and climate, and of good times
she is having in Los Angeles.

E v a Goodman Scales' address now is: 615 West Ninth Street, Waterloo,
Iowa.

Anna Hoffert, '15, was fortunate in having quite a long Christmas vaca-
tion, and visited at the chapter house several days before the University
closed for the holiday vacation.

Barbara Denison, '09, writes very interesting letters about social life in
Brainerd, Minn., and of Woman's Club work, in which she is much interested.
Also she tells of interesting things which her children do. Her little Ada and
Bob are perfect specimens of healthful and vivacious children.

Mary Wills, '15, visited Susie Hubbard, '12, at Boswell, Ind., during the
holiday season. Susie's home is most pleasant, and Susie is herself a splendid
"housefrau." Her diversions are many, too. She is actively interested in
church work, and club work, but spends no inconsiderable time riding over
the good Indiana roads with her husband in their new "Stutz."

Mabel Wallace, '14, attended the Army and Navy football game in New
York last November.

Jana Wiley Rowland, ex-'16, is very nicely located in her new home at
Hume, 111., and several of the Alpha O girls have already visited her.
Besides her home duties, Jana recently took part in a home-talent play, is active
in church work, and is keeping up her piano practice.

We Iota alumnae are very glad to know that Inez D. Jayne, M.A. '12, has
been chosen president of the organization of A O I I women of Minneapolis
8Rd St. Paul who are now petitioning for an alumna chapter in the "Twin
cities." " I n the good old college days" of 1912, whatever Inez was interested
m was always sure to be successful,—and her interests were many; so we
f e e l justified in thinking that an alumnae chapter with her as president ought
surely to be splendid.

We are also very glad and proud to know that Mrs. Stewart has appointed
Mildred MacDonald, '10, chairman of the scholarship committee.

Ethel Watts, ex-'15, is having a very delightful winter in Ypsilanti, Mich.
Music and parties occupy a large part of her time. Ethel has the distinction of
being the most prompt of all our alumnae in answering letters.

Ruth Davison, '13, Hazel Alkire, '12, Maurine Mavity, ex-'l6, and Mary
Wills, '15, visited at the chapter house during the Teachers' Conference at the
University in November. They were all most enthusiastic about the active
chapter,—its girls, their accomplishments this year, and their lovely hospitality,
the new home in Urbana is so pretty, and roomy, and comfortable, too. And
1 ever there were active girls who understood how to make alumnae feel

oroughly welcome, they are our active girls! One is almost glad to be an
» umna just to be able to appreciate so greatly the joy and sweetness of get-
gl n back to Alpha 0 associations after being deprived of them for a while.
