an accordion player. The alums made sure that the rushees made no dates
with the player —he couldn't speak English. Looks like the work of some
of our language sharks. Helene Oliver, '23, told fortunes. I t is reported
that she now has a steady income.

Minneapolis alumnae, headed by Alma Boehme Keuhn, '19, is going
to put on the "best yet" in the way of bazaars at the Curtis hotel on Novem-
ber 7. The hotel has given the girls the lobby and the grand ball room for
the entire day.

Christmas cards are being sold again this year, of course, with Elsa
Steinmetz, '18, in charge.

Joanna Colcord, '06, of Gamma is welcomed to our ranks. She has
accepted the position of general secretary of the Minneapolis Family Wel-
fare League.

Alpha chapter contributed a new recruit to the Minneapolis alumnae
when Mrs. J. Arthur Harris (Sarah Emma L a y ) , '07, moved here. Dr.
Harris is chairman of the University Botan>' department.

We are grieving at the loss of Mary D., who has forsaken us for the
busier district of State street and Madison. Her husband received a flat-
tering offer from Chicago which he couldn't refuse.

The summer has passed so swiftly that one can scarcely realize that
our first meeting of the year will be here in a few days. Saturday, Octo-
ber 10, Mrs. McJury is entertaining us in her lovely new home. We are
very pleased to have Marion Janeck of Upsilon and Elizabeth Powers of
Alpha Phi with us this year. The engagement of Dorothy Cash, one of
our lovely Alpha Sigma girls, has just been made known at a dinner party
at the Alpha O house, Eugene. It seems to me that all the girls have
traveled widely this summer except myself. Carolyn Paige spent a delight-
f u l vacation at her old home in Minnesota and got home a scarce few
minutes before school started. Mary Stranahan Morphy spent several
weeks traveling in Idaho and Washington. Lucille Loyd Hood and Little
daughter Barbara Dawn have spent much time at camps in the mountains
this summer.

Dorothy Dodge is taking her senior year in social service work at the
Portland Center of the University of Oregon. Minnie and Ethel Kraus,
of Upsilon, visited in Portland during the summer, and Mildred Forrest. '22,
of Alpha Phi, did special work at the University of Oregon during the sum-
mer, and visited in Portland on her return.

Carolyn Paige entertained with four tables at bridge for the Alpha
Sigma girls a few weeks ago. Our annual picnic this year was a delightful
day spent on Sandy river for the alumnae and their families.

The officers for the year are: Mary Stranahan Morphy, President;
Eleanor Kilham, Secretary; and Hazel Shary, Treasurer.

Seattle Alumnae Chapter is concentrating principally upon plans for
raising next year's fund f o r the bed, which we are maintaining at the Chil-
dren's Orthopedic Hospital in Seattle. The final amount for the current
year which started on October 1, was raised and turned over to the hospi-
tal. A small sum was lacking to make up the $250 due, but dues of the
chapter were advanced to complete the amount and will be repaid by the
sale of Christmas cards upon which we are now working. This year we
hope to raise the bed fund by concentrating upon some one large affair,
