freshed by the summer vacation and f u l l of interest for the year's
work. There was a goodly number present, nearly a l l those who
come regularly and several others who can only be w i t h us occasion-
ally. We had a letter from the active chapter telling how much
our guest room on the H i l l was appreciated last year by visitors to
the College, and no doubt it w i l l be used even more this coming
season.

There is not much news as yet to write o f , except that we look
f o r w a r d to as happy and prosperous a year as in the past, and w i t h
hopes of a greater usefulness.

Our spring meetings began i n March, when we met w i t h M r s .
Helen Eddy Rose. A t that time, we discussed the plan of having a
convention in California at the time of the exposition. The A p r i l
meeting was held at the home of Mrs. Carrie Vose Handy in Man-
ville. But in May, we had something more than just a meeting:
we were entertained at a luncheon and enjoyed a visit f r o m Dorothy
Safford, Grand President. The luncheon was given at the Narra-

something in connection with college.

girls have been out of town.

More surprising still, we have started out with great energy and
enthusiasm to carry out our year's plans. V i o l a Gray was the hostess
of the afternoon. Committees were appointed to arrange for a rush
ing party, to be given early in October. We discussed ways and
means of coming i n closer contact w i t h the active chapter. We
contemplate, too, broadening our interests somewhat and taking up
some line of " F o r e i g n " work. T h e Y . W . C. A . , University Girls'
club, local hospitals were suggested for our benevolences and per-
sonal work. A f t e r the business meeting "vacation trips" formed
the chief topic for conversation.

Previous to this meeting, we have met twice, since T o D R A G M A ' S
last appearance. I n M a y , M r s . Rawlings entertained us at her
home. The afternoon was spent, socially, aside f r o m "time o f f " f o r
