out NEW ORLEANS ALUMNAE
ing
aby The heat of the past summer, which was extreme, even in New Or-

.a withered New Orleans alumnae chapter, and as consequence, there is
19, little or no news to chronicle. Those of us who were fortunate enough
we to escape to cooler climes lost no time in doing so, while the rest of
yce. us spent the warm season in seclusion, reclining in the breeze of electric
ine fans, imbibing cooling drinks, and expending as little energy in the busi-
ow ness of existing as was possible. Even now that October is here the
ank days are warm enough for summer raiment, but there is a tang of fall

Rummage sales were held recently on three successive Saturday after-
noons—the object being mainly to sell out all our "stock." as our sales
room has been rented and we have to move. For some reason the sales
were not quite successful, though we took in about thirty-five dollars in
all, which goes, of course, to our Child Welfare Clinic.

We have had no official meeting of alumnae since last spring, but
many of us have met "accidentally" from time to time. The most recent
accidental meeting was last week at initiation when n chapter took in
ten splendid girls. Quite a crowd of alumnae were there, and after the
serious part of the evening, a lovely sociable time was had by all. as
we recounted our adventures of the summer. Gladys Anne Rcnshaw has
just returned from a course of studv at the University of Chicago, and
had many things to tell us of Jean H i l l Boles, who is making her home
in Chicago now. and of Tcan's little daughter, M a n ' Barnett, aged one
year. Dagmar Rcnshaw Le Breton has been out to Berkeley, staving at
the A O i l house there and studying at the University of California. And
Solidelle Renshaw Fortier has a son. Louis Renshaw. about a month
old now. born in the Philippine Islands, where her husband has been
stationed f o r some time. Caroline Slack Adams, with her husband and
two httle sons, is coming to New Orleans to live, sometime in the near
future, which is good news for us all. Emilv Slack and Mary Bolton,
both very recent alumnae, having graduated only last June, came down
