262 TO DRAGMA OF ALPHA OMICRON PI

PORTLAND

Now that the holidays are over we can settle down and do some
things that we thought about in the fall.

The date for our much delayed rummage sale has been set for
January 12 and 13, at which time we expect to increase our funds
We have all been setting aside our rummage material for the past
several months, so with good salesmanship we should make it a
huge success.

The November and December meetings have been most enjoy-
able. There were about sixteen in attendance at both meetings
We met with Carolyn Paige for the November meeting, Marion
Joneck assisting. Marion has since left us and we miss her very
much. Evelyn Norton Cornish left last month for California, we
hope only for a short stay, for we miss her and need her.

In December we were entertained by Margaret Roberts in her
attractive home. Several of the girls were busy working on attrac-
tive Christmas gifts. Mabel Hilstrom Walsh was making a gor-
geous Spanish shawl. Our Alpha Sigma girls gave a luncheon at
the Sovereign Hotel in the form of a rushing party during the
holidays. Word has just reached us of the marriage of Dorothy
Cash and her honeymoon trip through California.

Lois Callahan has a lovely little daughter, a few weeks old.
Several of our girls are enjoying ice skating this winter. Kath-
leen Heywood especially has become clever at it. It is surely delight-
ful exercise.

We are busy planning our motion picture benefit for the bed
maintained at the Children's Orthopedic Hospital, which will be
held on February 8 at the Egyptian Theatre, a new picture house
opened in the university district. The chapter will present a feature
film and a fashion show. The affair was originally planned for
January 11, but was postponed because of illness in the chapter and
because the time was not favorable for the arrangement of a fashion
show. The chapter hopes to clear most 'or all of the money needed
for the support of the bed in the year beginning October, 1926.
Eugenia Garrett Page is chairman of the committee in charge.

With the alumnae in charge, Seattle and Upsilon chapters cele-
brated Founders' Day together at the Women's University Club with
a formal banquet. Laura Hurd, one of the founders of Upsilon, was
toastmistress and in her talks gave a personal sketch of the four
Founders of Alpha Omicron Pi. Ruth Lusby made the presentation
talk of the McDonald-Skillen scholarship cup, presented by Laura
Hurd to Upsilon to be held by the junior girl making the highest
standiug for three years. Susan Scofield, last year's president of
Upsilon, was awarded the cup for the first time. Louise Benton
Oliver spoke for the trustees of Upsilon Inc., Edith Chapman Kor-
res talked for the alumnae and Myrtis White for the active chapter.
The chapters were pleased by the announcement at the banquet of
the news that the convention will be here.

Seattle alumnae will issue the quarterly news letter just before
the Orthopedic benefit, to help stimulate interest.

Alice Campbell, who has been on the staff of the Hollywood
(Calif.) Cifiacn, has returned to Seattle again and has been enthus-
iastically welcomed by the chapter, for whom she has been a fine
