Another ripple arose when Louise Duncan announced that her passage
had been booked for China in August. She is being transferred to Shanghai

as laboratory technician in St. Mark's Hospital. We are already considering
the possibilities of joining her within the next live years and organizing
a new chapter in China'

Last month instead of holding our regular meeting in Detroit, ten of
our members, were able to go to the chapter house in Ann Arbor, Where we
had the ritual service and memorial for Ethel Watts Parker. At this meet-
ing we also initiated Helen Frost of Omicron P i and Leila Baker of Beta
Phi into our group. In spite of the fact that spring absolutely refused to
cast even a glimpse In our direction, we enjoyed the visit and the Ann Arbor
girls immensely.

Several of our members are making such enthusiastic [dans for attending

convention that the fever is spreading fast. EMMA G. JACOBS.

CLEVELAND ALUMNAE

We've been dining, and dancing, and holding business meetings and a
rummage sale since our last writing. As a result we feel a very versatile
chapter.

And we've recently been honored, too. Our Grand President, Mrs. Merva
Hennings. paid us the first visit of her eastern trip. She was with us for
dinner the night of April 4th, when we held our meeting at the Women's

City Club. \

It was a splendid meeting, and Merva inspired all 20 of us with her
talk, and got us very enthusiastic about convention. It seems just now.

though, that Martha Whitworth will be our only delegate.

Alice Maier came up from Canton, and Mrs. Edgar Hice from Akron for
the meeting. Both are Omega girls. Mrs. Bowles of Pi, and Mrs. Culver
from Eta were also with us. So in spite of the Easter vacation's sending
many of our regular attendants out of town, the meeting was well attended.

After a short business session at our March meeting, held at Jerry Meck's,
we had our first dancing party. There were 14 couples present. Jerry's
living room, which runs the entire length of the house, is ideal for dancing.

No wonder we think the party was successful! Best of all, Jerry said we
could repeat whenever we wanted to. So more anon on the Cleveland dances.

February, that horrible month, proved profitable for us. Under Beryl

Zemer's capable chairmanship, a rummage sale held February 10 in the
colored district netted $68. This goes into the scholarship fund ive are
raising.

And nt our business meeting, which we'll hold at Miriam Carter Smith's
in April, we hope to have every member bring in $5.00 for the fund. Watch
us grow!

The chapter was saddened March 21 by the death of Martha Whitworth's
sister, Dorothy.

Cleveland chapter sends its best wishes for the best, convention ever!
