Many things of importance to us have
occurred this summer. One of the outstand-
ing events was the marriage of Jean Downing
('33) to Kendrick Moles. Following their
honeymoon, they will reside in Hamilton, On-
tario, and we wish them all success and hap-
piness.
Our convention delegates were so full of
enthusiasm on their return that we have held
many impromptu gatherings during the sum-
mer to hear all they had to tell us. Following
convention week, we were so pleased to have
Maybelle Wackerman ( T ) with us, and later
in the summer, Katherine De Puy ( 2 ) , and
Eleanor Massman ( * ) . We do hope these
girls enjoyed their visit as much as we en-
joyed having them, and it is our hope that
we may get better acquainted with our sisters
from the South in this way.

-+- T H E R E IS NEVER A N Y NEED for me to con-
sult a calendar to know when September
has come because almost simultaneously with
its arrival I am hurled into the business of
starting a new school term, writing this letter
and the usual social activities that begin at the
end of the summer season.
You know, dear sisters, this job of reporting
is partly pleasure and not all duty. It isn't
everyone who receives ten newsy letters in
one week. Then, too, you know, I get lots of
inside news that this short column must ex-
clude. So you see I am amply repaid for
my biannual struggle.
Thelma Robertson Mitchell ( ' 2 4 ) , our for-
mer correspondent, is a never failing source
of news. "Robby" and her husband went on
a tour this summer with Chicago their ulti-
mate goal. "Robby" says that "Ed" is still
wondering if his vacation was to see the
Century of Progress or her sorority sisters.
Their first stop was at Ruth Sydney Mer-
chant's ('22) in Binghamton, New York. "Sid"
was away for the day but one of her sweet
little girls (there are four of them, all like
dolls) talked with them. Night time found
the Mitchells at Ithaca with Mary Williams
Sutliff ( ' 2 5 ) and her family. Ralph was in
Cornell attending summer school so the Sut-
liffs took a house there for the summer.
Across the street from Mary's was the home
of Ethel Williams Hoskins ("19). Her hus-
band is a professor at Cornell. In part
"Robby" said, "I phoned Dorothy Barry Peters
('23) and, when she answered, no one could
mistake her voice. She says that she looks
about the same, only stouter. On our way to
Syracuse we stopped at Doris Knapp Tarr's
('24). She has a new home and everything
lovely in it. I met her husband and 'fell' for
him right away. Doris' sister, Marian ('20),
was on her honeymoon in England with her
English captain. They expected to return to
the United States in September and make their
home in this country. In Chicago we went
immediately to the home of Katherine Jenkins
Clement ('24). Kay's baby is sweet and what
