The N u Kappa summer vacations
have been quite varied. Visitors in Dallas
who have been reported were Mrs.
Francis Baird (Antoinette Smith Ex.
'29), Mrs. Bryan Nolan (Irene Pendle-
ton), Mrs. McDonald (Louise Pendle-
ton), and Mrs. Roberts (Lucille Pep-
ple). Alice Reynolds (Ex. '28), Lola
Chapman (Ex. 27), and Dorothy Palm-
er (Ex. ' 2 7 ) , crossed the desert to en-
joy the beauties of California during the
summer. The "Big City" called Mar-
garet Roderick ('24), who journeyed to
New York. Mildred Shell (Ex. '25),
preferred the "open spaces" so she re-
tired to Arkansas resorts. Elizabeth Pep-
ple (Ex. '31), enjoyed the mountains and
outdoor pleasures of "Cool Colorado."
Lois Turner (Ex. '25), was the lovely
honoree of a number of social affairs
when she visited i n Shreveport, Louisi-
ana. A less pleasant but very profitable
time was passed by Maurine Simpson
(Ex. '29), who spent her vacation in
summer school at the East Texas State
Teachers College doing work toward her
A.B. degree. She w i l l teach school i n
Greenville, Texas during the next ses-
sion. France claimed M r s . C. F . Zeek
(Louise Wadsworth), who with M r .
Zeek and the children, spent the sum-

ford Convention in England. The same
unusual vasation was offered to Mrs. Har-
vey Branscombe (Margaret Vaughan),
who attended the Oxford convention
w i t h M r . Branscombe. She has just re-
turned, only to find her oldest son seri-
ously i l l with typhoid fever at the home
of his grandmother. We hope for his
speedy recovery. Mildred Brodnax (Ex.
'29), spent the summer touring Europe.
She w i l l remain i n Paris until October.
