TO DRAGMA OF ALPHA OMICRON PI 219

On February 28, we again met at Mrs. Lambert's home. A t this time we
held our joint meeting; the alumna were entertained by the active chapter.
Initiation which was the principal feature took place early in the afternoon.
We were much impressed with our seven new sisters. A f t e r initiation was
over the freshmen gave short speeches which were enjoyed by the alumnse. Then
we gathered around the open fire while the active girls entertained us w i t h
songs that were sung at convention and others that we had not heard f o r some
time. A t about half past five a buffet supper was served.

There were about sixty girls at this meeting. Among those who haven't
been present before this year were Margaret Fay, Dorothy Bartlett Buck, '13,
Martha Neal, '19, and M i l d r e d Sawyer Stickney, '11.

LOS ANGELES ALUMN2E

I n our last letter, I told how our chapter had decided to turn their Christmas
money into buying materials to make garments f o r the Los Angeles Maternity
Home. The committee had the material purchased and cut out for the first
meeting held this year, at the home of Lucille Curtis. We were supposed to
spend the afternoon sewing on them but I suppose our tongues proved more
nimble than our fingers f o r most of us had to take our work home to finish i t .

Four visiting girls attended this meeting—two who were eagerly welcomed
by the Zeta girls: Beth Boynton Phelps and Freda Powell Fredericks, and two
by the Lambda g i r l s : Grace Dickinson H a r r i s and Helen Dickinson Lange.
No wonder that there was little sewing done!

Our February meeting we planned to make a purely social one. Arrange-
ments were made for a card party to take place at Jane Graham's. Unfor-
tunately there was sickness i n Jane's f a m i l y on the date set so the party was
cancelled.

Our last meeting was held yesterday, March 20, at the home of Hazel Cra-
bill. The meeting was taken up mostly with discussing plans f o r our annual
"blow-out" i n A p r i l . The question was whether i t should be a luncheon or
banquet. A banquet was decided upon and committees appointed f o r further
arrangements. We are looking forward to a big affair with a large attendance.

Two of our members have been doing us honors w i t h their histrionic talents
in the last few months. Leta Nelson, Tau, having graduated f r o m the Egan
dramatic school, was taken on by Morosco, the theatrical producer, and has
been playing a part in Civilian Clothes, which has had the unusual run of thirty-
seven weeks i n Los Angeles. The last few weeks she has had an important
part i n The Rotters at the L i t t l e Theater.

Lucille Curtis represented us at the University Club by giving several
Italian readings. She was the most enthusiastically received performer on the
program.

We are glad to have back with us, permanently, Alice Weyse Bementel,
Lambda, who has been l i v i n g in the Imperial Valley the last two years.
