unette, like her sisters. We know by ex-
rience what pleasure it is to have an
liott in the chapter, and the more ex-
rience we have, the better. Another
dition to the family is Gertrude

We had, for rush parties, a circus, much

formal dinner. Features of the first

The refreshments were delicious, and
the conversation sparkling. Elizabeth
was as capable a hostess as she is a
president.
On November 16 the A O I I alumna;
and active groups combined to give a
benefit bridge and bazaar, which cleared
approximately a hundred dollars. The
proceeds went toward building a doll-
house for the little children at the Fresh
Air Camp on the mountain, and surely
no philanthropic work has ever left
brighter eyes nor hands more eager to
busy themselves at "playing house."
M u c h of the credit for the success of the
party is due the alumnse, for they took
entire charge of the bazaar, and secured a
large number of the tables. The actives
made around twenty-five dollars. A t -
tendance was good, in spite of a violent
downpour, which attests the energy and
perseverance of the Alpha O's.
The active chapter entertained once
more on December 12, this time w i t h no
other ulterior motive than to fete its
pledges and initiates. Honor guests were
Charlotte Matthews, Elizabeth Bowen,
Annie Sue Herdon, Minnie E l l i o t t , Helen
Moore, and Lavinia Stokes. The enter-
tainment was in the form of a tea. Eliza-
beth Crabbe's attractive home on L i n -
wood Road was again to be the scene of
a Tau Delta party.
Speaking of attractive places, last sum-
mer some of our girls donned overalls and
went to work on our room. Evidently
they slung a mean paint brush, for the
result is an inviting sort of place done in
light tan and green. I f you come to Bir-
mingham, please accept our invitation to
visit i t . Some of our former members,
married now, have felt its appeal and
been back several times to enjoy i t .
Among them are Fletcher McArthur
Ferrebee, Clara Pritchett Rogers Lott,
and Annie Lou Fletcher Yeilding.
