Following the installation ritual the newly installed chapter members ter
and the Grand President drove to the Forest Park Hotel where a ban- un
quet was served. The St. Louis members are from various chapters and pil
several live at a distance. They have had little opportunity for ac* un
quaintance and an interesting feature of the banquet was the require- sta
ment that each member stand and give a brief account of herself. For
this performance the palm was awarded to Eleanor Rench who responded kn
in rhyme. fou

To these newest alumnae chapters we give a hearty welcome and ex- of
press our gratitude for their loyalty and desire for service. May ever of

The housemother's apartment is directly across the hall from the Js
guest room, while the maid's quarters are at the back of the house,
with a separate outside doorway. 0

There are nine bedrooms, two baths, a sitting room, an immense
sleeping porch, and a laundry upstairs. Every girl has furnished her
room according to her own indvidual taste. Some carry out the studio
idea, some are resplendent with bright colored drapes, spreads, and other
accessories, while still others carry out the modernistic mode.

The house has been found ideal in every respect, and so far the
girls have not found a single feature which they could change. Some
of the other houses on the campus who have not yet built say that they
are waiting to profit by the mistakes of the others. They cannot profit
by the mistakes of Alpha O. There were none to mention.

The girls are fully appreciative of their new and spacious surroundings
after living in relatively cramped quarters for several years. KapP3
Theta house is the embodiment of concentrated cooperation of the active
chapter, Kappa Theta alumna?, the Mothers' Club and Los Angeles
Alumna? chapter with its members from many chapters. It is the result
of most harmonious working together of many units. Kappa Theta
takes this opportunity of thanking all the girls who have made possible
this splendid structure.
