TO DRAGMA OF ALPHA OMICRON PI 261

Shirley Mann Kimmelshue writes: "The demand upon one's time is heavy
in our community life. I have just spent to-day with our county tuberculosis
nurse, taking her from school to school. Tomorrow, I , with four other women,
will be hostess to eighty young folks at dinner. The purpose of this is to
show them their responsibilities in public life. And so the old world goes, the
busier the happier."

Lena Maxwell Snow, as usual, sent a generous check with her letter, enough
for the buliding fund note, alumnae dues, To Dragma subscription, and a gift
besides. She is still living at Evansville, Ind.

Helen Scott. Omega, whom we came to claim during her stay as
secretary of Y . W. C. A. at the University of Illinois, remembers not only to
write news of herself, but to send lovely contributions to our bazaars. We
were surprised to learn that she is now doing special work in Education at
Miami—"staying up most of the night and getting up at a most unearthly
hour next morning."

Aunt Bettie Pettit is leaving Champaign June 2nd for the east where
Willard will enter school in the fall. We alumnae, and the actives, will miss
her more than we can tell. She Is always doing so many lovely things, and
always volunteering real help in our many ventures for the building fund.
Write to her now, 616 W. Healey, Champaign, 111.

Mrs. Stowers, too, is always so good, and we believe, she gives for old
times sake, since she hasn't been strong enough to meet and know the active
chapter. Address her 905 W. California Ave. Urbana, III.

Hazel Stephens Bodenschatz continues busy and happy, as each letter
plainly tells. This from her last letter: " I had a stork shower for E s last
Saturday and she got the most cunning things. Mrs. Van Doren, Lucie,
Ruth Barr Lindsay, Jo Phillips Leach, "Brownie," Jane Garman Schoen-
ing, Ina and I made up the party. After sewing a while for E s , we had a
luncheon at the table with candy babies in cradles for favors, and a white
sprinkling can suspended from the ceiling sprayed ribbons down to the
gifts around the centerpiece."

If you look under "Births" you'll find "Mollie Ann" has come to live
with E s and Dave.

Elsie Noel Waldo recently wrote how much she is enjoying the Indian-
apolis alumnae chapter. She and Barbara were hostesses at its meeting in
March.

And now'my swan song— F o r several years past I've asked that some
other alumna be given this "job" and at last, I believe the chapter will
heed my plea of too much work and too little health. So, I want to thank
you who have kept me supplied with data for these notes. To you, and
especially the others who have been too modest and silent and have made
of me a kind of detective in order to get the news I would say "Do please
write the new alumnae assistant often."

No amount of ability and energy will enable her to write good alumnae

notes, if all of you do not cooperate and keep her informed. But, really.

Iota alumnae have a way of cooperating and it truly has been a pleasure

to compile the news items. We shall still keep in close touch, for the girls

re-elected me secretarv-treasurer of the corporation—and you know what

that means. ANNA H O F F E R T K I R K .
