TO DRAGMA OF ALPHA OMICRON PI 163

We are all trying to do part of our share, at least, in the work of
winning the war. Helen Rose and Louella Darling are each giving
two days a week to Red Cross work, and their service is of the most
efficient kind. Lillian McQuillin McCausland has given her time
and ability in speaking for the Liberty Loan and the Red Cross, and
then of course we are all knitting every spare minute that we have.

This is the most wonderful Christmas season that we have ever
seen for amid all the heartache and sorrow of this great war there
comes to us a solemn sense of happiness which comes from a knowl-
edge of duty done and a realization of having done our part i n
hastening a true peace.

We have been very fortunate so far this year in having four success-
f u l meetings since the September issue. On October 27th, "Dave"
and Jane entertained the chapter at the home of "Pollie" Lambert.
As usual, it was hard to start the business meeting, for everyone
wanted to chat and hear the news. Our next meeting was held at
the home of Florence Walker Cannell, '04, in West Somerville. I
am sorry, but as I was not notified of the meeting place, I cannot
make a personal report. Having seen several of the girls who were
there and knowing how dear and hospitable Mrs. Cannell is, it can
truly be concluded that the afternoon was one filled with much
pleasure for all, and that the ties of Alpha Omicron Pi were again
made stronger. Mrs. Sara Buxton Field, '05, was at the meeting and
it certainly is fine to have a "sister" "drop i n , " after six years of
absence. We hope, whenever an Alpha Omicron Pi girl is near
Boston on the last Saturday of the month, that she (but we'd like it
to be "they") will phone or write the secretary, Mrs. Winthrop L .
Wales, '09, 19 Fairfield Street, North Cambridge, and find out
where the meeting is to be held.

Our last two meetings were held on extremely cold days. On
December 8th we had a joint meeting with the Delta Chapter as
hostesses at the home of Ethel Richardson, '19, in Medford, Massa-
chusetts. This meeting was most enjoyable, because it brought the
alumnae" and "actives" into a closer relationship, and we feel so
much better acquainted after such informal gatherings. We wish
to take this opportunity to thank the "actives," and we trust to be as
successful hostesses at the spring joint meeting. We only ask one
bit of assistance, and that is, please, every Delta girl, come. We
shall be very much disappointed i f anyone is absent. We were
