    Mary Davis Waring, '10, surprised Sigma chapter by appearing
in meeting two weeks ago. She lives with her husband and little
son, in Sacramento, and her visit to the house was a pleasant sur-
 prise to many of the alumna', who happened to be there.

    Mildred Stoddard Winton, '11, was before her marriage a librarian
 in the Merced library. Since her marriage she has devoted her time
to keeping house and to the care of her little son.

    Helen Edson Wixon, '11, lives in Los Angeles, but nothing has
been learned concerning her life in general and interests in par-
ticular.

    Gertrude Davis Arnold, '04, has been in America lately with her
husband, who is on furlough, and two children. They are stationed
in Che Foo, China, where Mr. Arnold is American consul, and will
start for the Orient once more on March fourth. They have divided
their time while here between Sierra Madre and Berkeley, which
latter gives opportunity for visiting the chapter house.

at alumnae meetings, and is much interested in Sigma development.

combined physical culture and folk dancing. She has this season
changed her plan to social dancing, and has a number of classes in
the new dances.

    Kate Foster, '02, teaches the receiving class in the Durant school.
She is fraternity examiner and it would be difficult to find a woman
whose interest in the whole fraternity is deeper or more constant.

   Rose Gardner, '11, is tutoring in Latin at Miss Ransom's school
