204 TO PRAGMA OF ALPHA OMICRON PI

Kappa entertained the Alumnae on Founders' Day in a unique
fashion when they invited us to a shower for the house. Whether
tin- occasion made us feel younger from contagion or older by
contrast is debatable, but we had an awfully good time and were
glad of the "get-together" and the opportunity to meet the pledges
and toast the Founders.

We are glad to welcome into our membership this year Bessie
Minor Davis, Kappa '24, and Nannie Howard, Kappa '25, though Nan-
nie expects to leave quite soon for New York where she will attend
the School of Decorative and Applied Arts.

Most of us have stayed at home and there has been no excite-
ment in our midst. Lily Blanks Clark Stokes has been keeping house
for her mother-in-law, who has been quite ill for a number of
months. Frances Allen is still improving, though she will be a semi-
invalid for a while yet. Kathryn Hodges Adams and Lucilc Lamar
Bryant have adjoining apartments in Warwick Lane and arc charm-
ing hostesses to many friends.

We were quite fortunate in having a visit from Jo Pratt, who
Stopped off to see us on her way down South to install our newest
chapter, which we all welcome with open arms. We feel a very great
interest in our new chapter, because Pauline Hobson is so enthusi-
astic about it, and has told us so much about the group of girls who
helped to organize it.

The little seed of philanthropic work which Jo Pratt left with us,
has already borne a bud which blossomed on Founders' Day, when
we celebrated with a simple little party at which Mollic Shoemaker
was hostess, and pledged the money, which we would otherwise
have spent on a banquet, for local philanthropic work.

Dorothy Nix, of Omicron Pi, is now in Washington where she
is making her home, at least temporarily, and we were mighty glad
to welcome her to our little party on Founders' Day.

Rose Bowling journeyed to New York, not long ago, to welcome
back from abroad her sister, Dorothy Bowling Townsend, and Dor-
othy's little son whose acquaintance we are all very anxious to make.
Dorothy, with her husband and baby, have just returned from a
two-year stay abroad.

Washington Alr-rae are very proud of the clever and dignified
manner in which Pi Delta has conducted her rushing season, which
was recently brought to a close with the pledging of thirteen lovely
girls.

Philadelphia Alumnae chapter is becoming more and more en-
grossed in National Work and we feel that we have at la<t fouirl
the most suitable beneficiary for our permanent support. Although
a number of the girls had been giving personal service to the habys'
clinic at the Children's Hospital, and we had contributed financially
to that institution whenever an Opportunity WSIS presented, we felt
that the field of our usefulness, as an organization, was becoming
