essay on a civic subject. The Chi Omegas every where are interested
in civic work and more fraternities would do well to follow their
example. Here in New Orleans the alumnae have opened a "penny
lunch" at a school in the poorest part of the city and the actives help
to run it. They accomplish a great deal of good, and in such a
practical way, too.

Mrs. Le Breton, Dagmar Renshaw '12, surprised us with a visit
lately, so, of course, we immediately had a tea-drinking to celebrate.

At the spring elections of the Y. W. C. A. Dilie Bancroft, '15,
was elected president and Georgiabel Gillean '14—no other person
than "Joybell"—was chosen vice-president. With the administration
in such capable hands, we feel sure it cannot fail to be successful.

Miss Louese Monning, Grand President of Phi Mu, visited the
active chapter and gave a short address before the local Pan-Hellenic.

"Tulane Night," a university event of great interest came off with
the usual grand success. The play this year was "The County
Chairman" and it gave opportunity for a rare display of talent. The
college stunts between acts were quite clever and amusing and the
cartoons and slides formed a large part of the evening's enjovment.
College songs and yells were heard on all sides and a general feeling
of good-fellowship prevailed.

NU, UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK

to To DRAGMA. We have had four initiations and two weddings.

WTe are very proud indeed of our new members, three of whom are
college graduates while the fourth is a dear little girl from High

York girls and Elizabeth Smart's home is in Cambridge, N . Y. but
she is living in the city while attending N . Y. U .

To some of us, Jean Burnetts marriage to Dr. Leslie J. Tompkins
was a surprise but the girls who knew her best were better posted.
Doctor Tompkins is the secretary of the university, and one of the
Law School professors, so we feel very well acquainted with him,
while he says that he considers all the fraternity girls his sisters-in-

We have been looking forward to Ruby Norton's wedding ever
since last winter, when she told us she expected to be married this
spring. Her husband, Edward Cornish, was one of her classmates
and a member of Delta Chi. Our only regret is, that they have
gone west to live, and 89 North Eighteenth Street, Portland, Oregon,
is so far from Washington Square.

Besides all the events, we gave a dinner on the seventeenth of
