TO DRAGMA OF ALPHA OMICRON PI 155

Semmen, '14, who is to be married early i n the new year. Her
speechless surprise was more enjoyable than a dozen Christmas trees
with presents for everyone.

With finals the last three days before Christmas vacation, we were
all cramming our heads and our suitcases at the same time. We
planned to celebrate with a Christmas dance at the chapter-house,
December 21st, before the girls who were all packed up left for home.
On the afternoon of the dance Mildred came down with the measles
and was quarantined i n her room with the pleasant prospect of spend-
ing the holidays in solitary confinement.

I t was too late to abandon the dance but we all felt so sorry for
Mildred that we could not enjoy dancing, even though the music
was perfect and the crowd just right. The doctor says i t is a very
mild case of the German variety (Mildred had no intention of being
so unpatriotic) and the quarantine may be lifted in ten days.

Upsilon sends love and best wishes f o r the New Year to all her
sisters.

NU KAPPA—SOUTHERN METHODIST UNIVERSITY

Greetings once again, from Nu Kappa, after a most prosperous fall.
A l l of our girls have returned after the Christmas holidays with the
exception of Frances Cummings, '20, and one of our pledges, Dorothy
Miller, '21, of Hillsboro, who could not get some courses i n archi-
tecture at Southern Methodist University. Both girls have gone to
the University of Texas. The writer, too, is dropping her university
work for the present, on account of too strenuous playground work
outside.

The chapter doesn't feel as though it has done much work that is
really worth while, but we have bought a chapter Liberty Bond and
every individual girl in the chapter has one of her own. This much
to help fight the Kaiser. Several of the girls are working i n the
Red Cross Auxiliary here, too.

We have had one marriage i n the chapter. Erma Baker, ex-'19,
was married in November to Carl Patton of Spur, Texas, and they
are at home in Spur, where his business is located. Erma will long
be remembered as one of the most popular girls in college our first
year and she was chosen one of the four Southern Methodist Uni-
versity beauties for the annual.

We have back with us this term Margaret Vaughan, ex-Kappa, who
lacked a few hours of graduating last June. Margaret has spent the
last six months since June doing Y. W. C. A. work. Speaking of
