evening to preparing the refreshments, which were served at Mrs.
Schmidt's, because the state of finances was such that we couldn't
have paid for tickets for everybody. The series of parties finished
with a flourish in our Hallowe'en party at the Country Club. I t
was delightfuly spooky even to the extent of a ghost who wandered
in a solitary fashion about the premises. The fortunes were told in
an original way for once, and were purely a matter of chance, yet
it was a subject to remark that all of them were really very consistent,
even to the initials of the men we were going to marry. And as a
result of the rushing season, we initiated on November 18, our six
new girls, of whom we are justly proud. They proved how clever
they were by giving us an entertainment after their first regular
meeting—an exposition of multiple personalities under the effects
of hypnotism in which the subjects took on the characteristics of
their dearest friends, and we saw ourselves " as ithers see us."

We have had many delightful gatherings this term, not least of
which was a quiet though rather thrilling evening at Mrs. Schmidt's,
when Professor Schmidt, who has the reputation of being the most
learned professor at Cornell, regaled us with the most fascinating
and extraordinary ghost stories we had ever heard. Then, in joint
celebration of Founders' Day and Christmas, we had a party in our
chapter room, which was virtually changed into an evergreen bower
for the occasion, through the zeal of our "frosh" who lugged a well-
grown Christmas tree from the woods. We all had presents on the
tree, worth five cents and the efforts of the committee, who attached
nonsense rhymes to each, increasing their value several hundred per
cent.

And now, i f I don't stop, I shall miss my homeward-bound train,
and not even the thought of T o D R A G M A is sufficient to keep me
from that. Once more, Merry Christmas, everybody!
