the following meeting would be held.
Helen West suggested that some phase of
national w o r k be discussed at each meet-

to tell us about this interesting subject.
We have also decided not to sell Christ-
mas cards this year. The plans that the
active girls have for a lodge in the not too
distant future were told us by Helen
West. A f t e r hearing the* decision of the
active chapter to have a lodge instead of
a house the alumna; chapter expressed
their interest in the plan and will give
their co-operation towards its fulfillment.
I t is the sentiment of the alumna? chap-
ter, however, that the active chapter
should take immediate action in securing
an off-campus lot and architect plans for
style of house required for its use. These
articles were given Helen West to be
presented to the active chapter. The
president appointed the flower committee
which consists of Estelle Beaupre from
Bangor and Hazel Buzzell from Old
Town. We were very happy to welcome
three new members to our chapter, Ed-
wina Bartlett, Sybyl Leech, and Ruth
Meservey. Our guest for the afternoon
was Betty Bright.

in entertaining and there were nineteen
present. Reports were read, and plans
