most fascinating sports of Cornell. Epsilon is particularly fond of
the sport, it would seem, for we had two skating parties while the
ice was at its best. The first one we finished with a flourish at Mrs.
Wright's—our old "Anna Allen"—and the second, we ended on the
shore of Beebe Lake around a camp fire, sitting on the tobog-
gans, roasting "dogs" and marshmallows, and singing between
mouthfuls.

We have two announcements of especial interest: Laura Fish
has been given the position—one of great honor—of presidency of
the Y. W. C. A. for next year. Second we have a real live grand
child, Ruth Marion Sharp, daughter of Catherine Allen Sharp.
1910. This gives us a feeling not only of elation but of stability—
it makes us feel so old and reverend. Our older sisters will smile
tolerantly, we know, and our younger ones will look expectantly
into the future, but you will all congratulate us and rejoice with us.
as you sympathized with us not long ago in our sorrow.

Greetings to all Alpha O's! After mid-semester "exams" were

safely over, there was great excitement on the campus, for a few of

the freshman girls became sophomores and were open to sorority

bids. Rho bid two of them, Alma Seegmiller and Regina Staats,

splendid girls of whom we are very proud. March 3. we initiated

Mabel Gastfield, our one freshman whom we pledged last year before

the new sophomore pledging rule was in foTce.

Mary Chase of Gamma was out to "spread" one evening. Rho

hopes to see her often, as she is teaching in Chicago. Mae Barlow

Yocum made us a surprise visit a short time ago, and nearly broke

up a business meeting, for when the door opened, and in walked

Mae, whom Rho had not seen since she became a "Mrs.." we pretty

nearly forgot the dignity of the occasion, and longed to rush up and

hug her immediately. Jean Richardson has joined Alithenae Liter-

ary Society. I n "A Mid-summer Night's Dream," to be given soon

by the Literary Societies of N . I L , Coila Anderson will take the

part of "Flute." F.stelle Martin and Florence Ayres are not in
