150 TO DRAG MA OF ALPHA OMICRON PI

rather than by spreading its energies over several efforts. The plan chiefly
favored at present, is that of obtaining the loan of a motion picture theatre
for a special matinee and fashion show put on by the chapter. A committee
is working upon this idea and other alternative suggestions.

Chapter meetings will be held on the second Monday evening of each
month at the house, following the plan which was definitely established last
year. A t the last meeting, a shower was held for Marguerite Uhler, after
the business session. Marguerite visited in Seattle for a few days on her
way to Alaska. She arrived from Shanghai early in September after a
trip around the world, and will return to Shanghai in December to marry
Ralph Dennison, representative in that city of the Standard Oil Co.

Frances Reedy, who has been manager of the dining room of the
Women's University Club, has resigned to accept a position as manager
of the tea room of Rhodes department store in Tacoma. Frances hopes to
continue her affiliation with the chapter and make trips to Seattle often
enough to attend the alumnae meetings.

Helen Hepler Hindle left Seattle during September with her husband
and baby, to make her home in Los Angeles.

Minnie Kraus resigned her position as manager of the Women's Uni-
versity Club in October and plans to take a rest. Minnie is considering a
trip to Florida as her first step.

Seattle alumnae are welcoming a number of members from other chap-
ters than Upsilon this fall, and also several seniors from the local chapter,
who are remaining in the city.

Frances Jordan, '25, Upsilon, is teaching music at the Mercer School
in Seattle.

Alice Bronson, Chi, who has been an active worker in Seattle alumnae,
suffered from a nervous breakdown in the fall and resigned from her posi-
tion as chapter treasurer. Margaret Caughey Pearson was elected in her
place.

Clarita Moore, Chi, is in Seattle this year taking post-graduate work at
the University of Washington.

Ethel Kraus is teaching English and mathematics in the West Seattle
high school. Edith Sifton is teaching again in Queen Anne high school.

Seattle Alumnae Chapter entertained City Panhellenic Association at
the first meeting of the year at the chapter house in September. Laura
Hurd talked at the meeting on the Panhellenic House in New York and
on doings of the last Panhellenic Congress.

Mildred Frudenfeld, '25, has a position with the Seattle Times' adver-
tising department. She is studying shorthand and will take a position with
the school of journalism when she completes this subject.

KNOXVILLE

The date set for the October letter finds Knoxville Alumnae resting
between spurts of work. Since the August meeting our attention has been
given to assisting Omicron in rushing, by parties entertained by the
alumnae before the opening of school, and by parties given by the active
chapter at the homes of alumnae members during the two-weeks period of
formal rushing. The bids will be accepted or rejected today, and we may
now turn our minds to the work of the Alumnae chapter proper.

We are sorry to lose from our ranks Martha McLemore, who will be
with the active chapter again this year, and Grace Smith, who has left the
city. We are glad to add to our roll Elizabeth Ayres Link, who has
returned to the city to live, and Jennilee McCracken, '25. who will be with
the "Flowercraft" shop again. We are delighted, also, that our two recent
brides, Elizabeth Kennedv Scale and Ciel Pennybacker Pettway, will con-
tinue to reside in Knoxville. We trust that Minn Elois Hunt will spend
some of her surplus time between trips with us; she is not teaching this
