SEATTLE ALUMNAE

Our alumnae meetings have been very successful during the past winter.
Under the present system of having the meetings at the house on the second
Monday of the month, which is formal chapter meeting night, and with two
girls as hostesses, we have been very pleased with the gatherings. The
meeting of March 12, with Beth McCausland and Hazel Britton as hostesses,
was in the mature of a miscellaneous shower for Beryl Dill. She received
many pretty, attractive and useful presents. For those girls who can not
come out to the University district at night and who are working down
town, a "drop-in" lunch is held on Thursday noon each week at Pig and
Whistle.
