TO DRAGMA OF ALPHA OMICRON PI 155

thank you very much. I t is cold. I go to school. Tomorrow is Thurs-

day, and I am going to my aunt's in the country. I love to go there.

We spend a pleasant day. Mama is still working. I amuse myself by

making dresses for my doll. When I come f r o m school I do my lessons.

Dear godmother, I should like to know you. I should like to have you

come to St. Jean. I thank you all. Respectful salutations f r o m Mama.

Your goddaughter who loves you. GERMAINE.

SAN FRANCISCO ALUMNAE

Initiation was late this year, taking place at the November meeting, and
we were particularly glad to welcome Mrs. Pride of Delta chapter,—who
has just come to California after eight years in China, and Claire Groce
of N u Kappa chapter.

Early in December, on Monday evening, the 4th, we met with Sigma
chapter at an informal gathering to commemorate the birth of Alpha O,
and to retell again the story of our founders, of their struggles and ulti-
mate successes;—and of the future broader and wider scope of activity
which the tremendous growth of our fraternity has made necessary and
possible.

I t is always good to feel that in our happiness, we do not entirely
neglect the thought of others, and so this year, as has been our custom f o r
some time, we planned a Christmas dinner, and a few Christmas gifts
for the Ghego family of South Berkeley. This family of nine, the father,
mother and seven wee children, were provided with good wholesome food,
fuel with which to cook, and some of the unnecessary but j o y f u l things
of the Yule tide.

A n d so the old year passed and we enter upon the new year, hopeful
that each day, bringing with it its cares and responsibilities, will bring
also, great joy and peace to each member of Alpha O.

PROVIDENCE ALUMNAE!

On our December, 1922 calendar we wrote " A O Pi letter due Jan.
8." I t is our opinion that we wrote that letter, but a horribly, dreadful fear
has come upon us that the letter was not written after all! For the sake
of Chapter Treasury we are praying that those fears are groundless, and
that the letter has long since reached Chicago.

Since our letter of September we have had two meetings:—the first
with our President, Muriel Wyman, and the second with Louella Darling.
At the former we were happy to add to our circle Mrs. A l f r e d Potter,
Epsilon '14. Would that more Alpha O girls might see fit to make their
home in or near Providence, R. I . ! Unfortunately the secretary was
again among those absent at the December meeting, and regrets that she
cannot, r ^ o u n t what took place at that time.

4 „*appy New Year to you all!
