54 TO DRAG MA OF ALPHA OMICRON PI
ALUMNAE CHAPTER LETTERS

NEW YORK

We have had quite a husy summer in spite of the fact that so many
of our number have been away. Our June meeting at Arleta Kirlin's was
a jolly affair. Each one brought her pet "white elephant" carefully
wrapped in tissue paper and ribbon, to be auctioned off "sight unseen."
Mrs. Glantzberg was the irresistible auctioneer. About fifteen dollars of
our Panhellenic pledge was made that afternoon, and many Alpha O's
were delighted with their great bargains.

Early in the summer we took steps to discover any visiting Alpha O's
and have been rewarded with the names of sixteen. Our first meeting
with them was a dinner at the Stockton Tea Room, with sixteen present.
Helen Henry had returned from convention just in time to liven our party
with her convention news.

A picnic was planned for July 25, and the six who turned out in spite
of the rain reported a jolly time. Since the rain spoiled the picnic for
all of us but the six, we decided to have an informal dinner meeting on
August 3, in the Congo Room of the Alamac Hotel. Seventeen attended
this delightful dinner.

We sincerely hope that succeeding summers will find us plentifully
supplied with visitors, for it livens up the summer for those of us who
can't spend it abroad.

Unfortunately our chapter has held no meeting since the April letter.
The May meeting was postponed until June, and June passed without a
meeting. June is such a busy month in college communities that it is well-
nigh impossible to crowd much else in, except, of course, the customary
number of weddings.

But in spite of our lack of meetings Providence chapter has very
important events to report. On April sixteenth we went in a body to the
Homeopathic Hospital to inspect the new building, but more especially to
give our approval to the Children's Ward, which stands as a memorial to
Lillian MacQuillin McCausland. The ward consists of a three-room suite,
two rooms with cribs, bassinets, toy and medicine closets, and a completely
equipped bath. The mural decorations are especially attractive—done in
bright colors—representing Bo-Peep and her sheep. Little Miss Muffet,
Peter, Peter, Pumpkin Eater and his wife in the pumpkin shell, Rock-a-Bye
Baby on the tree-top and Mary. Mary Quite Contrary watering her garden.
We hope that every little one who is admitted to these delightful rooms
may be speedily restored to health.
