Our Grand President is serving on the Grand Jury. She says it
is "extremely ludicrous" but the rest of us can imagine it quite
easily, and not as a "ludicrous" situation either.

Mary Rust, of Omicron Chapter, is doing relief work on a hospital
ship near Halifax. We are glad to be able to give some account of
her work and of Halifax conditions in this number.

Helen Ranlett, Nu, '07, is doing an interesting piece of work in
connection with Miss Winifred Holt's "Lighthouse" in Paris. We
hope for an article from her later. Just now she is enjoying a short
furlough at home.

The following is clipped from a July, 1917, number of Life.
"The woman who has lately done the most for the cause of Woman
Suffrage is Mrs. Grace Humiston, who taught the Police Department
of New York a great lesson in efficiency.
The women who have lately done the most against the cause of
Woman Suffrage are those pickets and banner carriers in Washing-
ton who have tried to weaken the hands of our President and Govern-
ment in the great fight with Kaiser B i l l . "
Mrs. Grace Humiston is a member of N u Chapter.

Lillian MacQuillin McCausland has been doing much speaking
and organizing in connection with the National Council of Defense
in Rhode Island.

The work of Joanna Colcord, District Superintendent of the New
York Associated Charities, is more vitally important than ever in these
war times. Gamma Chapter is proud to claim "Nan" Colcord.
