holidays met with us and we had a most enjoyable afternoon. A l l the
girls were busy with their knitting, and, as it is possible to knit and
talk at the same time, there was a great deal accomplished, both
visiting and war work.

I n January we shall meet with Ioma Hauptman. Verna Kean will
be the assisting hostess.

A l l Zeta girls who know Mrs. Herbert Grainger (Helen Westveer)
will be sorry to learn that Mr. Grainger died, October 30, 1917, after
an illness of several weeks. Helen, with her three baby boys, will
continue to make her home here in Lincoln.

Martha Walton, who spent last year i n California, was in Lincoln
for several weeks this fall. A t present she is visiting Major and
Mrs. James Henry, U . S. A., at Petersburg, Virginia.

Annie Jones is as much interested as ever in the children at the
Orthopedic Hospital. Before Christmas she was chairman of the
committee to provide gifts for the children at the hospital and the
inmates at the Home for Dependents. Emma Bennett Beckman was
a member of this committee also, and gifts, useful things and toys,
were provided for every child.

Annie is guardian of the Camp Fire girls at the Orthopedic Hospi-
tal, also.

her marriage last spring, Anabel has lived in Oklahoma City.

The Lincoln Red Cross chapter has attracted the attention of the
country by the quantity and quality of surgical dressings which it has
prepared. Several Alpha O's have given a great deal of time to the
work and three of our girls are captains of tables, Elsie Fitzgerald,
Edna Harpham, and Emma Beckman.

Elsie Ford Piper spent part of her Christmas vacation with Emma
Schreiber Hunter in Oakland, California. The Hunters have been
living in an apartment but are now pleasantly situated in a home of
