  the         On the first of October we held a very informal meeting at Rose
  the   Bowling's new home. I t was more of a farewell to Margaret Kutner than
 ion.   a meeting, for we were all anxious to hear her final plans and to impress
 She    on her that she was to keep us well informed as to her new life and ex-
ular    periences. While it seemed wonderfully good to be together again, after
Hil-    the long separation during the summer, we all felt somewhat sad. for
        over us hung the shadow of Margaret's departure on the 25th of October,
  see   for Africa, and the State of Matrimony. And after all it is a long long
 llar   way from Washington.

        event with a wonderful amount of interest. Think what it will mean to
  we    us to have an active chapter so near. Tt will naturally bring us into
 this   closer contact with the activities of our fraternity.

 ied          We had our first meeting of the fall, Monday night. October sixth.
 nks    There were eighteen girls present, representing Epsilon, Kappa and Psi.
nch-    It was great f u n to get together after the summer's separation and to
        talk over A O I I gossip.
              Ruth Cotton. Psi '19, has been made Assistant Dean of the School
        of Education at the University of Pennsylvania.
              The rumor was confirmed that Patty Locffler of Epsilon was married
        in June to George Diffenbach.
              On Labor Day, Kay Snively announced her engagement to Dr. Charles
        Stewart. U . S. N .
              Sylvia Sutcliffe told us that Mary Glowacki had been in town on
        Sunday, but as usual for only a few hours. That's the only way we ever
        hear of Mary—she's always just passing through Philadelphia, never stop-
        ping long enough to see any of us.
              To get back to the meeting Monday night. Avis Rumpp announced
        that we have one thousand dollars in our building fund towards buying a
        house for Psi. We realize how the need is growing more urgent each
        year for a house where the girls can live, and we are devoting half of
        our energies to this—the other half, to our National work. This vear
        several of the girls are going to work Thursday afternoons at the Chil-
        dren's Hospital.
