There have been many events this semester such as a faculty dinner
or a Hallowe'en dance, but all of them were eclipsed by the Alpha
O fair. November 22 was a lovely day and called forth many people
to attend our fair. A l l our mothers and girl friends were there. Why!
even Sing, the Chinaman cook came, and bought an apron and a
boudoir cap for his wife.

We had seven or eight tables covered with dainty articles. Aprons
on one, sachets on another. One table was for dolls of all varieties,
another for all sorts of bags, and still another for work basket acces-
sories. I t was the best fair ever! Some of the larger and more
expensive things that were turned in were raffled off, and then there
was great excitement when the drawing took place. I n the dining
room the alumni sold candy and tea and little cakes.

The few things that were left over were auctioned off after meet-
ing the next Monday night, and altogether we made a little over
three hundred dollars on our fair, which of course was turned into
the house fund. I n January when the pledges come due, we will
have over a thousand dollars and a house of our own will soon be a
reality.

Since our last letter another splendid girl, Margaret Stone, '15,
has been initiated. Hertha Herrmann, '14, has been elected to Pry-
tanean, an honor society for women at U . of C. Several of our alum-
nae have announced their engagements lately, these are Wynne Mere-
dith, Dorothy Richardson, and Rose Gardner.

Mrs. Perry was with us on Founders' day. Many of our alumnae
were back too and I think we were all drawn closer together by
hearing her tell of the beginning of Alpha Omicron Pi.

The last two weeks have been given to examinations, and now the
girls have scattered for the holidays, but we all unite in wishing our
sisters a Merry Christmas.
