Summer days, with their scattering winds sending our members this
way and that, make the writing of news letters something of a task. For
what is a news letter sans news?
Our chapter is at present in a static condition as regards activities.
The June meeting which was a rousing one held at Melita Skillen's home,'
saw the installation of the officers f o r the coming year. Marion Abele,
president; Cora Jane Stroheker, vice president; "Gerry" Meek Stephen-
son, secretary, and Frances Urwan, treasurer, took up the reins of office.
Marion Abele was elected convention delegate at this meeting.
July saw the few of us who were in the city gathered at Edith Shultz'
for a swimming party. Although only the hardier ones ventured into the
water, f o r the day was cold, all of us joined in the delightfully served
supper.
I t is with regret that we see the passing of some of our most valued
members into the new South Side chapter, but we are glad that its estab-
lishment will enable them to participate in fraternity affairs without finding
it necessary to travel great distances. We congratulate the new chapter on
its fine start and we give them our heartiest good wishes.
Our first function this fall will be a luncheon at Marshall Field's on
the second Saturday in October and we urge any alumnae who will be in
Chicago on that day to communicate with Cora Jane Stroheker.

Our May meeting was held at the home of Florence Srout Triggs, who
was assisted by Mildred McCoy. A ritual meeting was held, followed by
the regular business meeting. A letter from Melita Skillen was read and
plans f o r convention were discussed.
I n June we were delighted to have Miss Elizabeth Heywood Wyman
as our guest. A dinner party was given in her honor at the MacLean Arms
Tea Room on Tuesday evening, June 2. About twenty-four AOITs
were present. After dinner an informal meeting was held at the home of
Elsie Waldo. Convention plans, suggested amendments and new rulings
were discussed.
Indianapolis alumnae met with Cleo Wood on July 23. This was not
a business meeting. We simply enjoyed listening to the reports from con-
vention, given by our delegate. Mary Gertrude Manley. Mildred MacDon-
ald, who also attended convention, was present. Baskets, which had arrived
with the guests, showed that there was going to be a real picnic. Twenty-
four grown-ups" and four children gathered near Riverside Park f o r a
wonderful feed. Darkness threatened to break up the party but M r . and
Mrs. W . T. MacDonald came to the rescue and invited us to their new
home on North New Jersey Street where the party continued to the wee
small hours.
Leura Thomas and her family are home again after about a year's
sojourn in the west.
