KNOXVILLE ALUMNAE

The second meeting of the Knoxville Alumnae for the fall was a
"strictly business" one, with committees for Convention to the fore.
It's a bit hard to be businesslike, though, when the mere prosaic ap-
pointment of a committee suggests all sorts of delightful possibilities,
and when Omicron is alternately exalted over the joys of Convention
and palpitating over her part of the responsibility of it. Then, too,
pledge day, at that time imminent, came in for its share of the excite-
ment. We've discovered since then that all our fears on that subject
were groundless, and all our confidence well-based, f o r Omicron is
proud of her pledges (see active chapter letter!) But the other sub-
ject still remains an absorbing one, and bids fair to furnish food for
discussion f o r the rest of the year. Food f o r discussion didn't spoil
our appetites, though, »for the delicious salad course, for it's always
hard to be businesslike when Lucretia brings her refreshments around.
