TO DRAGMA OF ALPHA OMICRON PI 169

T h i s has been a popular season f o r weddings. I n October Gladys Reed
was married to M r . Neal M e r r i l l , a Maine Phi Gamma Delta. We all at-
tended the wedding in A l l Soul's Church. I t was such a pretty a f f a i r ! They
are to live i n Webb City, Missouri. We certainly hate to have Gladys go so
far away. Margaret Holyoke was also married in October to M r . H . K .
Adams, a Phi Kappa Sigma, at the university. They are l i v i n g in Portland.
Then early in November, Ella Wheeler, '19, was married to M r . Frank Har-
mon, '17. They are to make their home in Lynn, Mass.

Ruth Chalmers has been in the hospital recently f o r an operation on her
throat, but is better now. Lennie Copeland

We all feel very sorry for Helen Danforth West and
who have both lost their mothers within a short while.

PORTLAND ALUMNA

We wish all our Alpha O sisters a most happy New Year!
We have only had one meeting since our last letter, as we never have a
December meeting, so there really is very little to tell you this time. Our
November meeting was held with Nellie McKinley and even i f there were
only a few there we had a very good time and i t does seem good to get to-
gether again. We were introduced to Nellie's two adorable baby boys and
each one of us older folks wished f o r two just like them. We are hoping
the attendance at our meetings w i l l be better in the New Year, and I am
sure each member w i l l make a New Year's resolution to do her part and
stand by our f a i t h f u l president. Caroline never fails us but I ' m afraid we
fail her too often.

We have some news though. Tess Hilstrom has listened to her B i l l y , at
last, and one day in November she became Mrs. W i l l i a m C. Bates. They
are very happy, i f Billy's smiles are any indication, and are very snug at
Franklin Court i n Vancouver. Even the chapter editor decided to share the
editorial burden and now spells her last name Mill-ar instead of Mill-er.

PUGET SOUND ALUMNA

D u r i n g the summer months i t seemed rather difficult to maintain very
much chapter spirit, but nevertheless, the members o f the Puget Sound
A l u t n n x Chapter were able to keep in touch with each other to quite an extent.

A t one time we spent a most delightful afternoon at the home of Minnie
Kraus. This meeting was in the early part o f the summer and a short time
after Commencement. Although to those who were graduated in June, i t
seemed strange to be invited to an alumna: chapter meeting, still i t was a
wonderful feeling to know that a place was waiting f o r you and that you
could still go on with A 0 IT work.

Then later in the summer Mrs. Brown invited the chapter to her home
for Sunday afternoon tea. A n d needless to say we all enjoyed i t very much
and enjoyed seeing all the sisters again.

I n October we met at the Northhold I n n f o r lunch. This was indeed an
interesting meeting for Maria Marchildon (Upsilon's delegate to Convention)
told us all about her w o n d e r f u l time while there. We are all so enthusiastic
about Convention that I am sure some of us w i l l save our pennies and dimes
for individual "Convention f u n d s " which w i l l serve to take us to the next
Convention.
