usual, with a strange gleam in her eye, which
glimmered from under the tricky little fisher-
man-style hat she was wearing. We soon
learned that the gleam was caused by a desire
to go either to Mexico or South America
this summer. Beulah Dimmitt (A '33) is go-
ing to take off f o r around the globe soon;
either that or to the Orient, so either way
she wins. Helen Dietrich ( * ) is living up
North Hollywood way now. Lorry Conrad
O'Conncll has a shining little house out in
Wcstwood. We hear that Virginia Davis
Nowlin ( K G ) is to be our next president.
The Order of the Old Evening Dress is still
flourishing. Helen Haller is still collecting
ear rings. And thus wc come to the end of
our gatherings f o r this issue, and respectfully
submit same to whoever may be interested.

T H E JANUARY MEETING of the Madison
Alumna; Chapter with Mary Rennebohm
and Garnet Lowe as hostesses was devoted
to discussing ways and means of earning the
money toward our quota f o r our National
Work. I t was finally agreed to purchase an
electric mix-master and sell chances on it at
ten cents each and then raffle i t off the first of which was given in Jane Zimmerman's ( H
April. Letters were sent to the alumna: mem-
bers of Eta Chapter, containing tickets, and
with their willing cooperation and that of the
members of the active chapter, our project
was most successful. Mrs. C. J. Jackson of
Madison, the mother-in-law of Alice Knauf
Jackson, was the fortunate winner of the mix-
master. The members of the Madison Alumna?
Chapter wish to thank the Eta Alumna? mem-
bers f o r their generous response.
The A p r i l meeting was held at the chapter
house, where wc had a most enjoyable dinner
with the members of the active chapter. ^Offi-
cers for the coming year were elected. They
are: President, Helen Thomson; vice presi-
dent, Sarah W a r d ; secretary, Pearl Ayres;
treasurer, Roberta Schmitz; and editor to To
DRAGMA, Grace Conklin. A f t e r the business
meeting the evening was spent playing bridge.
We have had the pleasure of welcoming Mrs.
Greeley ( N ) as a new member in our chapter.
Memphis Alumna; Send Books to
Kentucky
By Elizabeth Beaslcy, K O
-4- T H E M A I N BUSINESS of the Memphis
Alumnae Chapter f o r the past few months
has been the preparations f o r our annual
Easter Egg H u n t The hunt this year was
unusually successful. Mrs. Henry T . Winkel-
m.m, mother of Virginia Winkelman Lee (KO
'28), very graciously allowed us to use the
yard of her lovely home. We were fortunate
in having a beautiful day and over two hun-
dred children took part. The money which
we make by selling tickets goes as our con-
tribution to the National Social Service Work.
We also make money tor the work by selling
chances on a punch board, which is passed
among the members and their friends and by
other means. The Memphis Chapter discon-
linned their local social service work, which
consisted of a library in the Memphis General
Hospital, several months ago. Recently the
books we had i n the library were shipped
to Bland Morrow f o r her Kentucky moun-
taineers. We are, at present, trying to collect
clothing to send her. We were most fortunate,
recently, in having Mrs. Warren C. Drum-
mond ( A * ) with us. She gave us a most in-
teresting and inspiring talk on the Frontier
Nursing Service in Kentucky which quickened
our interest in this work even further. A t
our April meeting we elected the officers f o r
the new year. Elizabeth Williams Cooper
(KO '30) is our new president; Elizabeth Hale
(0 '29) ; vice president, Dorothy Vanden
(KO '29) ; secretary, Virginia Winkelman Lee
(KO '2H) ; treasurer, Martha Wheeler ( 0 ) ;
editor to To DRAGMA ; and Nancy Clinton
( K 0 '3*1 ). historian.
Milwaukee Alumna; Have Successful
Meetings
By Olive Langwith Buboltz, 8
-4- T w o IMPORTANT EVENTS have occurred
since the last report of our chapter. The
first was a St. Patrick's Day dinner party
'22) beautiful new home with our husbands
and friends as guests. A cateress, represent-
ing various food manufacturers who use this
method of advertising, served a delicious din-
ner to twenty-eight guests. The chapter paid
the cateress ten cents per person which was
to cover the expense of any food not donated
by a manufacturer. Our only other expenses
were f o r decorations and prizes, and there-
fore a nice profit was realized from the sixty-
five cents charged each person. Following
the serving of the hors dceuvres in the din-
ing room, we were ushered to a very modern
and interesting recreation room where the
main course was served buffet style. Cards
were enjoyed in the evening.
The second event is the appearance of an
AOII of note i n Milwaukee. Helen Hoy Gree-
ley, distinguished lawyer and lecturer, is giv-
ing a course of six lectures on Current Events
which is proving popular and very instruc-
tive to her audience. H e r education and ex-
perience has provided her with a remarkable
knowledge of significant world events which
she presents i n a forceful and charming man-
ner. We are happy to claim Mrs. Greeley
as a resident of Wisconsin since 1922. She
has made frequent visits to Milwaukee as a
lecturer and as the guest of her friend, Frieda
Dorner (G). Frieda and Margaret (Madge)
Ball ( 2 ) are among the list of patronesses f o r
the course of lectures.
Alternating our meetings, a luncheon one
month and an evening meeting the next, has
proved quite satisfactory as a means of get-
ting more members to attend. Our hostesses,
this year, have been Margaret Leipold ( H '25)
at a luncheon meeting in January, and Dor-
othy Marsh Ewens ( H ) for the February eve-
ning meeting. The March meeting being
