206 TO DRAG MA OF ALPHA 0 MICRON PI

the proud possessor of a teakettle—a copper one this time—so when
we have a large party she and Rosamond divide the honors.

We wish some of you A O TJ's could have been with us for the
carnival fun. Several of the girls were out of the city but the rest
of us managed to have a hilarious time.

We celebrated St. Valentine's Day with a luncheon in the room.
Our furnishings are all red, so the red and white valentines which
adorned the walls made a very pleasing appearance. We have
several cute stunts and lots of good "eats" and our "good angel"
sent up a large box of jonquils, daffodils, narcissus and hyacinths
for a parting valentine. We dressed up the rushees in them and set
forth for the basketball game.

Mr. Ellsworth Woodward, Dean of the A r t school, gave a lecture
on Greek A r t under the auspices of the local Pan-Hellenic. A
large number of our patronesses, alumnae, and friends were present
and we had a lovely tea-drinking for them in our rooms—both tea
kettles bubbling away for dear life and the rest of us tripping about
with sandwiches, cake, ices, and Virginia Withers' delicious candy.
The candy arrived exactly three minutes before the guests and was
a delightful surprise to us all. Emily Freret, '10, also surprised us—
a flowering plant which hid the ink spots on the table cloth past
discovery! I I has such thoughtful alumnae—they are all so good
to us. Needless to report, the lecture was a grand success—likewise
the tea-drinking. I don't see how we will exist when it gets too
warm for hot tea, we won't be able to use our kettles then!

Joe Handy, '07, has been visiting in the city this winter and
we were glad to have her in the room for luncheon not long ago.

We had a wild discussion of Miss Rickert's articles in the
"Century" a while back. Needless to say, we failed to agree with
her.

Betsy and Willie each spent a week end at home not long ago.
They are fortunate to live so near—some of us poor mortals can't
get away even for Christmas. Delie paid a flying visit to her brother
in Shreveport.

The Tulane Y. M . C. A. put on a good stunt the other night. I t
was a vaudeville performance and was called the "Enalut Riot"—
Tulane spelled backwards i f you happen to be clever enough to see
it, I didn't. I t was made up entirely of student stunts and some of
the numbers were especially good. The receipts, which were quite
large, I hear, are to start a Y. M . C. A. building fund and the affair
proved such a success that from now on the "Enalut Riot" will be
an annual college event.

The Chi Omega Fraternity has offered a prize of $15 for the best
