TO DRAGMA OF ALPHA OMICRON PI

Erna Taylor held the next meeting, and as usual, was a delightful
hostess. A t each meeting several girls bear the expense of the luncheon,
and the fifty cents that each one pays goes into the scholarship fund,
which is increased quite materially that way. A t this meeting we decided
to hold a Christmas party f o r the girls who were out here all alone during
the holiday season. So on December sixteenth we had a most enjoyable
tea and card party at the Ambassador Hotel. The spacious grounds and
• large lobby of this hotel together with the courtesy of the hotel employees
makes this hotel a wonderful place at which to entertain.

Mildred T a f t Tinkham—Rho—has a son, born January first. We are
all so anxious to see him.

LINCOLN ALUMNAE

Is it too late to wish you all " A Happy New Year?"
The Lincoln alumnae have had several opportunities to become better
acquainted with the active girls. First there were the rushing parties, then
the day before Thanksgiving the active and alumnae chapter had the an-
nual food sale and early in December our bazaar. There were many
beautiful things sent in for the bazaar; the girls out in the state and even
those in California contributed. I n spite of the disagreeable day we cleared
more than $150 at this sale.

The Monday before Christmas there was the Christmas party at the
house, which many of the alumnae attended. There was a tree, a clever
program by the freshmen and good "eats."

Our last alumnae meeting was a luncheon at the Lincolnshire.
Viola Gray returned home the first of November f r o m California,
where she, with her father and mother, spent several months. I am sure
all Zeta girls will be interested in hearing about Viola's trip. I n July,
while spending a few days in San Francisco, she went over to Berkeley and
had lunch with Daisy Shaw and Margaret Henderson Dudley at the A O I I
house. Viola says the house is beautiful and is so well kept. Later, in
September, when she returned to San Francisco f o r a longer visit, she
stayed several days with the Sigma girls, attended their chapter meeting
and also a meeting of the San Francisco alumnae. More than thirty were
present at the alumnae meeting. Rose Gardner Marx and Daisy Shaw
gave a luncheon in honor of Viola and Laura Hurd, our grand secretary,
to which several of Viola's old friends were invited. Viola spent a day and
night with Emma Schrciber Hunter in Oakland. Viola is very enthusiastic
when she talks about Emma and her lovely sons. Arthur is a fine, big boy
in high school and Maurice, age three is a darling.

Nell Webb Sears with her husband and young son Harrison called
on Viola while she was in Oakland.

When Viola returned to Santa Monica where M r . and Mrs. Gray
had an apartment, she saw Charlotte Wallace Graham, Beth Boynton
Phelps and Jess Correll McKenna several times. With them she attended
