a cup of tea w i t h such well known matrons as Mrs. Payton Treat directing the

tea service.

Mary Lou Leistner in the Herbert Hoover home at Palo Alto recently, when the
' A Y we introduce the new assistant director?
Stanford Mothers' Club chrysanthemum fete was held. She is Miss Elizabeth Crabbe ( T A ) , and after spending September at

•l I Camp Edith Macy she came into headquarters October 1 as assistant director.

ft •- Miss Crabbe is a Birmingham girl, attended Converse College and is a gradu-
ate of Birmingham-Southern. Also she has completed a business course and handles
a typewriter and a dictation pad in a most efficient manner. While she is more
or less new to scout w o r k she has taken both the captains' and directors' course
at Camp Edith Macy, the national Girl Scout training camp near New York,
and also is learning about scouting at first-hand as captain of Troop 23 at Inde-
pendent Presbyterian Church.

This month she has been kept much too busy in the office to get around to
much visiting of troops, but she is planning soon to make visits to all troops.
And in case you'd like to make sure you'll know who she is when she comes we
might add that she has the bluest of eyes and the curliest of hair. Also that should
you like to learn some new songs all you have to do is hum a bit of the tune
for her and she can play it on the piano f o r you in a manner most remarkable.—
