168 TO DRAG MA OF ALPHA OMICRON PI

Parker, at the next meeting. We arc quite confident that no other chapter
has such a baby, chiefly because there is only one in the world, and we
have him.

At the same meeting the announcement was made of Betty Gratton's
engagement to Christian Youngjohn '24, Law, of Ann Arbor. Also Helena
Silver, one of our out-of-town members, came down from Lapeer, where
she is assistant Psychologist at the Michigan State and Home Training
School, to attend the meeting. Altogether it was quite an occasion. We
are hoping to have the girls from the surrounding towns drop in on us
often during the year.

Not long ago the various Detroit collegiate organization had charge of
a benefit perforance of "The Rivals," produced by a local stock com-
pany, to help raise a fund for the establishing of institutions of higher
education for women in China. Our representative to the council served
actively on one of the committees, and the rest of us sold tickets to friends
and acquaintances alike. The affair proved successful enough to wipe out
the pledge and make us optimistic about future ventures.

Our Founders' Day meeting was held at the home of Ruth Sergeant
Harding, where we reviewed again, in spirit the work of those who gave
us the ideals we uphold and the goal we strive for.

NASHVILLE ALUMNAE

The alumnae meetings, held regularly once a month, are enjoyed so
much that no one misses i f there is a possible way for them to be pres-

not like to let a single opportunity slip us by. However, the alumnae
chapter is not only trying to bind its own members closer together, but also,
to co-operate in every way with the active chapter and always be ready
to help it. A t present most of our efforts have gone into work for Nu
Omicron's new home.

The alumnae and active chapters celebrated Founders' Day together
at Sarah Hopkins with an informal party but it was one of the "peppiest"
parties we have had. Every one entered so thoroughly into the spirit
of good comradeship that we all left feeling more than ever the fraternity
spirit towards each other. Florence Tyler spoke to us about a plan for
some definite philanthropic work which we hope to organize soon.

Mary D. Houston married the 19th of December, Dr. Madison Saur-
ratt, dean of the students and professor of mathematics at Vanderbilt Uni-
versity. She had an elaborate wedding with a whole string of attendants
(Mary Annie Landy Jones was her matron of honor and Louella Whorley
Higgins an attendant) and a lovely reception afterwards at the Centennial
Club. She and her mother went to New York to purchase her trousseau.
We are all rejoicing that she will still live in Nashville.

Every one has missed Mary Annie Landy so much since her marriage
has taken her to Memphis to live. A l l the girls loved Mary Annie, and Xu
