year, and therefore may have some to spare. We wish to congratulate our-
selves, the university, and Mary Moore Shanton on her position with the
physical education department of the institution, and hope that we may
expect her presence at our meetings.

We enjoyed seeing during the past month Josephine Johnson Hobson,
of Memphis; Aubry Faulkner Jennings, of Nashville; and Marjorie New-
man Michaels, of Washington, an Omicron pledge. Unfortunately they
were not here for a meeting and some of us missed seeing them.

The regular monthly meeting of the chapter will be held with Lida
Moore McLean on October ninth. A t this time plans will be made for fall
work. Suggestions for the raising of our quota of the National work
fund will be made; plans for our joint monthly meetings with the active
chapter—a source of great help to us all last spring—will be laid, and prob-
ably some plan for social work will be offered by our vice president, Mrs.
Bane, who as the wife of our civic Director of Public Welfare, has excel-
lent opportunities of ascertaining the needs of the city. We arc looking
forward to an interesting and prosperous year, and send our greetings to
the other chapters with equal good wishes for their success.

The September meeting of our chapter was held at the home of Mar-
jorie McCarty in Washington. Only five girls were present, but we spent
a very delightful evening in talking over vacations and making plans for
our next meeting which we hope to make a big affair. A t that time we
hope to add to our numbers four more graduates from the class of '25 of
the University of Maryland, and to welcome back Mollie Shoemaker, who
has but recently returned from a summer spent in Europe.

Margaret Penn White has had to resign her position as secretary and
editor to To DRAGMA on account of her increased musical activities, and
Lucile H i l l has been elected to take her place

Rose Bowling is our sole candidate for the position of mountain climber
which she holds by virtue of the fact that she climbed Mt. Ranier this sum-
mer while vacationing in the west.

Elizabeth Flenner and Geary Eppley were married in New York City
on the eighth of September. They will make their home in College Park,
Maryland, for the present.

Philadelphia Alumnae Chapter is completing plans for a very busy and
f r u i t f u l year. Our committee on meetings, with Mildred Sylvester as
chairman, is arranging a most attractive program for our meetings this
season. The plans differ widely from those of former years, when the
majority of the meetings were held in Psi chapter house on the night of the
Psi meetings. This year, all but two of the meetings will be held at the
homes of the members and the business will be so systematized that it can
be quickly transacted. This will allow time for discussion of current events
and other topics of general interest and for social chats which we are able
to enjoy so seldom.

Our first meeting of the year was a great success. I t was held on
September 15th at the home of Eleanor Spencer. After a delicious supper,
we spent the evening in vacation reminiscences ami all were especially inter-
ested in the stories of Avis Rumpp and Eleanor Webster, who had been
fortunate enough to spend the summer traveling abroad.

Aur next meeting will be at the home of Avis Rumpp on Saturday,
October 10, and at that time our president, Stella Wells, will give us a
