Alpha Holds Reunion
-f. O N NOVEMBER 25, Helen Mullan ( A )
gave a tea f o r Alpha Chapter. About
twenty-five were there, and all enjoyed meet-
ing, in some cases after many years. One of
the members, Lillian Howard Perry ('QQ\
could not come as she was taking her daugh-
ter and granddaughter home f r o m the hospj!
tal. That is the second granddaughter i n
Alpha Chapter in the past few months
Eleanor vanCott Brodie ('02), is the other
member who now belongs to the third genera-
tion.
On December 9, New Y o r k Alumnae Chap-
ter had its Founders' Day celebration. This
year there was a decided change in the type
of celebration. A luncheon was held at the
Panhellenic House, rather than a dinner. At
the present writing, opinion seems to be di-
vided as to whether a luncheon or dinner is
to be preferred. Sixty-seven sat down with
the Founders. Josephine Pratt presided. Stella
Perry greeted us in her own loving fashion
and Jessie Hughan spoke on "The Roosevelt
Administration from a Socialist's Viewpoint."
