ALUMNAE NOTES

OMICRON

All Omicron alumnae, we are sure, will deeply sympathize with Jess
McFarland Cullen (Mrs. William Goddard) of Memphis, in the loss of her
husband, and with Roberta Williams Divine (Mrs. John M.) and Harriet
Williams Melton (Mrs. Harry) in the death of their father.

Helen Shea Sheridan (Mrs. Dayton) with Mr. Sheridan and their little son,
will spend the spring months in New York.

We are sorry that an automobile accident and a broken shoulder bring
Elizabeth Kennedy home from Galveston, Texas, where she has been engaged
in Y.W.C.A. work, but are glad to have her here, under any circumstances.

Martha Lou Jones spent the Easter vacation in Memphis.
Blossom Swift Edmunds and her two little girls have left Knoxville for
a two-months' visit with her mother in Palestine, Texas.
Alice Calhoun Cox, who, with her husband and three babies, lias moved
to Knoxville, will be a valuable addition to Knoxville Alumnae.
Harriet Greve attended last month the Conference for Deans of Women,
in Cincinnati.

KAPPA

Virginia Strother Blackwell '17, who has taken a very active part in
dramatics both at college and at "The Little Theater" of Lynchburg, has
recently returned from a visit to New York.

Louis Sale '20, is visiting friends in Lynchburg.
During the early spring, Frances McFaden, of Richmond, spent a week
with friends at Randolph-Macon and in town.

Christine Acree '22, expects to study at Columbia University this summer.
Our Alexandria friends never fail to furnish news for To Dragma. Bernie
Palfrey is planning to be at commencement, to go from there to New York
and other points, then to Convention. Bernie and Kathryn Hodges both took
part in the American Legion play which was given in April. Kathryn spent
the Easter holidays in Lake Charles with Lenora Perkins. This summer, she
will be one of the counsellors at Camp Carysbrook near Wytheville, Va., and
expects to be in Lynchburg next winter.

Friends in Lynchburg and at Randolph-Macon are still missing Eugenia
Moore. Her return to Dallas was hastened by the fact that she was chosen
'•Duchess of Dallas'' for the ''Battle of the Roses" in San Antonio, April 18-2fi.

ZETA

WEDDINGS

Esther Chamberlain, ex '20, to. Clyde Lehmen. The marriage took place
at Esther's home in Falls City. After a wedding trip to Kansas City and St.
Louis they went to Ravenna, Neb., their future home. Mr. Lehmen is super
intendent of the Ravenna schools.

DEATHS

The sympathy of Zeta alumnae goes out to Edith Hall Lansing in the

death of her father, Dr. P. L . Hall. Dr. Hall was one of the best known

citizens of Nebraska. For many years he has been president of the Central

National Bank of Lincoln. From 1008 to 1912 he was vice chairman of the

democratic national committee. He was a trustee of the state school for

dependent children, and a regent of the state university, going out of office

in January. He was an influential member of the Nebraska Bankers' Asso-

ciation and of the Nebraska Medical Society. Dr. Hall will be greatly missed

both in Lincoln and in Nebraska. JANE LOUISE PIPER.
