OMICRON
With everybody scattered to the four corners on vacation jaunts no attempt was made to have any meetings during the summer. However, a flying visit of Laura Swift Jernigan provided a rasi d'etre for a delightful get-together afternoon at Lucretia Bickley's 0 the few alumnae and actives who were in town the first part of Se tember.
Dot Brown's just announced engagement to Johnny Cameron o._. South Pittsburg, Tenn., and regrets over the inevitable departure for her new home in Oklahoma where Johny is now located was the chief topic of conversation, although the actives managed to get IB: a few words concerning their numerous needs in the way of frater- nity room necessities.

BIRTHS
Same with births, for we haven't a one, unless you count the
births of members to our active chapter. We can't help boasting over our recruits this year. We think we got the pick! Our alumnae are being truly loyal in boosting for us, for we now have three girls in the chapter who are "daughters," Martha Furlong, Harriet Back- us and Jane Dudley. Remember heretofore we have been too young. It takes courage to boast of being old enough!
THETA
This is just a plea that all loyal Theta alumnae in the future help to make our letter a success. I used all the news I had secured in the last letter, and so I have no news for this time. However, I have a plan which I shall put into action immediately, whereby all mem- bers of Theta chapter will be given a chance to tell what they have done within the last few years. When you get my card, do answer it. W e are all interested in finding out about someone, and that someone may be you. If you have written a novel, broken a leg, gotten a husband, had a baby or changed your teaching position, let us hear about it. Send your news items to 1206 North Haskell Ave- nue, Dallas, Texas, to me.
WlLHELMINA G. HEDDE.
Part of the class of '26, finding the world cruel and hard and de^ siring to enjoy as long as they could the well-known college atmos- phere, came back to Greencastle for rush week and reported on the summer activities and the prospects for fall. Owing to a PauhelleniC ruling at DePauw, only those members of the chapter who were ac- tive during the preceeding semester are eligible for rush, so the other classes aren't allowed around until it is all over. Miriam Oilar and Katherine Schmidt, both of '26, were there, and several ex's who are not in school, Mildred Read, Musette Williams, Marjorie Walker, Hilma Hofhcrr, and Louise King.
Musette Williams was married October 6 to Ormond Hammondi DePauw, '19, at her home in Greencastle. M r. Hammond, better known as Ike to most of the girls, is a member of Beta Theta TM; Musie had lots of pretty showers, all of which afforded the p°°r homeless alumnae a chance to revisit the scenes of their past triumphs.

Margaret Howell, '26, is guiding the destinies of one "Red" How- l, her husband, and demonstrating the fact that she is a grand cook. e is, too. She makes the loveliest waffles I have ever "et."
Golda Larkin, '24, has gone to New York. She taught in a private hool in Miami, Florida, last winter, and stopped off on the way me to visit her sister Ruby, '25, in Montgomery, Alabama, and then ft for New York.
There are lots of Theta girls in the Indianapolis alumnae chapter, d we arc looking forward to a gorgeous time this winter.

News seems to be scarce and most of this came via fraternity eeting Monday. It was Delta's first real meeting and Octavia and attended. While rushing has not officially begun there appears to considerable unofficial activity. It was most illuminating to listen 'the pros and cons of the freshmen class. Dora Miner also dropped to bring greetings from Alpha Sigma chapter and entertained the ls with her account of rushing in Oregon. Dora has been visiting r mother and sister in Lexington for a month. She brought her e year old daughter with her but left Jane, aged ten, to "bring up ther." Dora had seen several of the alumnae whom we have never en able to get out, Abbie Wellman Stevens, Blanche Jouett and ary Dolbear Sanborn.
M:lly Ward, the newly elected alumnae advisor also attended onday night. Milly is living in Medford and teaching in the Junior gh school there. There were rumors that she is to be married soon t no facts.

Sales' managers tell us that to get business we must go out after it. That is about my position with news. After I purchased the flivver I decided to hunt up some lost souls who hadn't been around since the dim past. Last spring Octavia and I drove up to New Hampshire to climb Mt. Monadnock and on our return called at W. Rindge, N. H., to see Helen Harmon Cleaves. She has an at- tractive home there and Geraldine is four years old. Our sympathy is extended to her and Mrs. Harmon on the death of Prof. Harmon last month. He had long been identified with Tufts College.
Now that Octavia-has a car too, we divide our efforts and try to cover more territory. Edna W oodbury W ebb is pleasantly located in Weymouth but we can't pry her away from her husband long enough to attend a meeting.

discovered by each newly-arived individual. She fairly radiates hap- piness and contentment.
Carrie Powers, '12, visited Merva in July. Later Merva went ofti a motor trip and travelled around to see all the A. O. Pis she could find. In Lawrenceville, Illinois, she saw Pauline Pearson Hoffman. And in Indianapolis she visited Avaline Kfhdig Scifres and her sister, Geraldine Kindig.
A new and most welcome addition to the Chicago alumnae chap-: ter is Alice Thompson of Alpha, formerly a member of this chapter, and now back in our part of the country again, living in Evanston. j
Adcr says she isn't really a bride any more because Helen Hawk- Carlisle has been married a month less than she has. They live only, seven blocks away from each other. Ader's chief occupation, accord^ ing to her own version, is peeling potatoes, while Helen is very active with her music. She is still leader of the Northwestern Girls' Glee Club.
Word comes from those who have had the good fortune to meet! him that Sara Schweich's husband is the most charming Frenchman one is likely to meet in a lifetime. But doesn't that sound just like our Sara Ann? He is Eugene DesChamps, formerly of the Diploma- tic Corps, and now with some large advertising concern in Chicago. ]
Kata Blum has been here all summer. She had her baby with her and was visiting her mother in Wilmette. Those of us who have never met her before were very happy to see her at the June lunch- eon in the city, for Kata Blum was a magical name to all of us when
we were in school. She is Kata Blumberg now, of course, as you all know. She said to tell everyone to remember that she lives in Oslo, Norway.
Dorothy Church Shores is married and living in East Bramtree, Massachusetts, but I neglected to find out her husband's full name. • Helen Campbell is teaching in Pueblo. At least that is part 0|
what she is doing. Besides taking night school courses and teaching a Sunday School class in Church Doctrine she is taking a manual training course and making a spinet desk. Doesn't that shame us who feel we are overburdened with work?
Dorothy Pool is fast making a valuable place for herself. Out tffl Evanston at our old fainilar Chandler's Book Store they have en- larged it, added a new section and opened an art department solely for the purpose of putting Dottie in charge of it. Besides running that very ably she found time to take a trip through Canada and
down to New York this summer to visit Kay Graham Young. Dorothy Scharf is librarian at New Trier High School now and so we fortunately see more of her than we did last year when she was in Elgin. Her sister-in-law-to-be pledged A. O. Pi at Northwestern
last week so everyone is happy on that score.
And this is a piece of news that is a prize—Lola and Vic were
married very suddenly last week without any warning or announce- ment. Since Lola's illness all summer we have been more than wor- ried about her. The last we heard she was allowed to see Vie only two hours a week. And then this happened! So now we are all r e | joicing. We haven't seen or heard from them since it happened. M we all smile at each other every once in a while and say "IsntjB fine? Aren't vou glad? Now everything will be all right." .J
Anne McCabe is teaching school this fall. W e can't believe but I saw her first generous check with my own eves so I'llhave admit it's true. She is just too lucky to live with the rest of us mo_ tals. No one who doesn't know how hard it is to get a positiOfM the Chicago schools the first year out of Normal can appreciate good fortune.

Betty Hiestand Smith wrote me a nice long letter full of news. Now why, oh why, don't some more of you do it? She says that Sara, her three year old daughter, is very happy over the advent of "baby sister." She goes on to say, " I wonder if the girls would like to know that I ran across Miriam Smock Maynard, generally known as 'Shuck- sie,' here in Park Ridge. She, Mr. Maynard and their little daughter are living with Mr. Smock and making a home forhim."
Dottie Spiers, one of our new and timid young alums, is working in Chicago. • I don't know just exactly what she does, but I gather she isn't enthusiastic about it. In her own inimitable way she told us about asking for time off every noon to go out to look for another job and then feeling most awfully conscious-stricken all afternoon. No use trying to tell it as she did—you'd have to be there.
Marion McKay Schmidt is living in North Dakota again. Her husband, Ted Schmidt, Phi Delta Theta from N . U., was transferred to some place near her home in Bottineau', so Marion went home be- fore their son arrived. More about that later.
Schmidty and a friend from Elgin went to Canada and east this summer and were thrilled to death about Quebec. They were gone a month, wondering aroung Quebec, Montreal and New York. They took in all of the summer shows in New York and, of course, had dinner in the Village. Schmidty said she saw Katherinc one Sunday afternoon at the beach where they had a swim. Let me quote a bit of Schmidty's letter (she'll hate this, but you're all not so fortunate as I in getting it first hand)—"Her baby is adorable—such a happy, laughing infant. She is the same Katherine—a little thinner, per- haps. Nelle had been there for a month and she was expecting Dot Pool and the Tombaugh's and Helen Thompson."

CHI
When, just a mail too late for the last To DRAGMA, there arrived more (ban a page of notes on Chi's summer industries and gaities, I re- joiced in the thought that I was right about that probable breathless activity of our sisters that I mentioned, as well as about their speedy epistolary reform. And I was right about the activity part, it appears.
Take, for instance, that summer school bunch which whizzed about the chapter house during the warm months; Marjorie Townsend, Mina Gordon, Faith Trull, Hazel Olin. Alice Foote. and Mildred Riese. Polly Howalt ably managed home affairs, and Marj, I hear put over the University summer school picnic in a way to win it commendation as the biggest ever.
Edna Hausner spent her scholastic energy at Middlebury, Vermont, this year. Her summer surely docs show a pleasant variety—Europe, Alaska, Vermont. I pin my faith to the guess that she will drop down to Mexico next season.
Pleasantville, Ruth Dibben insists, makes for her a charming epilogue to a European summer.
Please forgive me for being so late in telling you that the three Syra- cuse alumnae who accompanied our active delegates to the district con- vention at Cornell were Ruth Hawks, Gertrude Shew, and Emily Tarbell. Ethel Williams Hoskins was the only other Chi present, so far as I've
heard.
Flummie Rich made her usual gleeful summer visit to Syracuse and its environs.
It is really disheartening. Just when we were all prophecying her return to a sensible frivolity, Gertrude Shew went off again and wrote an intermediate algebra. It would seem that regular teaching, summer school, and Americanization work leave time hanging heavily upon her hands.
Jane Gooding, Emil writes, is recovering from a rather severe attack of rheumatic fever.
Mina Gordon is working with a Syracuse advertising company.
News of the whereabouts of three more of the recent graduates has come to me. Hazel Olin teaches at Sachette Harbor; Cordelia Vance at Berwick, Pennsvlvania; and Catherine Latimer pleasantlv near our actives at Tully, New York.
Faith Trull has gladdened Hazel's heart by joining her at Sacketts Harbor.
The chapter house visitors' book should bear on its September page the name of Mary Williams, who was back for a week end. and those °f Alice Reeves and her sister Phyllis, who stayed over the rushing season.

The most outstanding event of the year, in fact, for many years, took place a few months ago when active and alumnae members of Psi banded themselves together in a Psi Chapter Corporation, having received an honest-to-goodness charter from the state of Pennsylvania. A O n was the first women's fraternity on the U.of P. campus to posses a chapter house—a fact of which we were always rather proud. Most of the girls attending the University of Pennsylvania, and, with one or two exceptions, ill the girls belonging to Psi chapter, have been Philadelphians and con- sequently have lived at home. For this reason the financing of a house has been a big and difficult problem. Up until last June we rented a house
on the campus. But now we are proud owners of real estate. And what an adorable and comfy house it shall be! A real incentive to get out and work and sell bonds, and bonds, and more bonds.
Monday evening, October the eleventh, the Psi alumnae girls are going to surprise the actives with a kitchen shower lor the house.

Maxine Atkins and- Irva Bair are studying cooking at Wanamaker's stitute. Maxine is also study.ng typewriting and stenography. Having served Maxine strolling around the Penn campus with a certain attrac- e student, we can readily understand the sudden need of a course in oking. But why the other courses, Maxine?

Perhaps Louise will tell me where she is and solve this mystery. All agree on Irene's teaching location.

If wishes could possibly come true, I'd wish that you all were here with me as I know that I could talk faster and better than I can at- tempt to type. It is not a very satisfactory method, (this is my third beginning) this one finger, once i na while attempt to poke at the keys but it is a means to an end and as Dad says, "The first hundred letters are the hardest." Thanks to all those who have accepted letters with nearly every possible mistake. Well on with the news:
To begin, seven Omicron Pi girls have joined us in the cruel world coming to Detroit this fall. Winifred Benedict was selling dresses at Himelhochs but has decided to try something else and so is now look- ing around. Frances Norton and Harriet Weston are substituting as teachers in High School. Harriet after observing me in English class says I am a teacher, "cross and scary and everything." She asked me how one does it and I know she will answer that question soon her- self. Winifred Sample is doing library work in elementary school. She recites all the fairy and bed time stories for our amusement and her benefit. Jo Weiler has not definitely yet decided which store to work for but she fully intends to go into that work, after getting some ad- ice from the others. Mary Ellen Appleton will start at Harper Hos- pital Laboratory this week. Just now Janet McColl is spending six eeks West with her mother and father.
Canning and planning for her new home is taking all Bea F:nley's time. If the plaster drys, she will move in within a few %veeks. Lucille Van Antwerps home is also about completed and Lucy finds plenty to keep her busy with substituting and house-keeping. Lillian Herman and Florence Fiebig are teaching in Grand Rapids, while Helen Whip- ple has gone out for advertising in a department store and Louise Boer is a private secretary for the same firm. Dorothy Nix is feeling much like her peppy self and even hinted that she would like to be working. That news makes us all happy because she has been so Patient through all her illness. Keep it up Dorothy. Helen Boorman
•as returned to Farmington to teach.
From Grand Rapids let's skip on to Chicago. There we will find Irene Swain with the same firm. Before this goes to press, she will nave made us a week's visit in Detroit. Jessamine Gray and Elizabeth Wylie are in an appartment. Jessamine is doing Y. W. work and Eliza- Beth attends school. Helen Silver is also living in Clrcago.
In far west Utah Marjorie Wylie is teaching ad Ruthie is still in "hoenix. Her yearly letter has not arrived yet. Elva Capeling re- eated her often promised vow to visit me for a few days but as usual Something intc-rferred and this time it was illness. She and Cappy Jove through Eastern Canada and the trip w:as too much for Elva. However she managed to get well for the opening of school. We are
S^H in hopes of seeing one another at the fifth reunion.
Peg Wagner was down for Isabel's wedding. Margaret Hansel- "an is in the Ann Arbor High Library and Fran Barrett returned to

Intermission for rest and dinner. So far 1 have only used one eraser, have several corrections in ink and many more to follow.
Just before the Hurricane struck Florida I received a letter from Helen Rath telling me of their wonderful trip to that distant state by automobile. She enjoyed living there so much and was feeling well again. I immediately wrote her but have received no reply. We are all wishing for their safety. Pat Brown \*is home for the month of August and I have not heard of her return to Florida.
And now back to Detroit. Lorna Ketchum is in the Library of the; Highland Park High School and is feeling fine again. Lucille Hittle is to be in Detroit until February. She is now working at Himelhochs. Dorothy Wylic, Marian Murray.Glad Hinmon, Dorothea Comfort,Betty Youngjohn and Emma Bergman are teaching at the same schools as last semester. Helen Howard has been transferred to an East side school and Dorothy and I surely do miss her. Bea Bunting, Ginny Smith, Bea Smith, and Marian Tanner are doing Library work and no changes have been made that I have heard.
Special attention to the Brides—they all seem happy and thrilled every time we sec them. A ll except Lorry, are combining teaching and housekeeping. Fran Burridge, Mary Barrett and Isabel Vandcvecr are in apartments.
Isabel decided very suddenly to be married this last summer and August 31 she and Lorry Vandeveer were united in marriage at her home. Sue Crawford, Lucille Van Antwerp, Harriet Weston, Peg Wagner were the out of town sisters to attend. Isabel looked lovely and wore a veil that had been her grandmother's. We made an at- tempt to follow them but the taxi made too much speed forUS.
Doris Bessinger and Frank Howlett are to be married the latter part of October. I do not know the details of the plans but I am glad to know they will live in Detroit. Including Doris, it is a fact that eight Omicron Pi girls were married this year.
Betty Hayes is just as interested in her work at the Hospital: Some one heard that Abigal Roberts was attending summer- school at Columbia this vacation. Irene Lutz is still at Hudsons and usually goes home to Ann Arbor for the week-end.
Ruth Harding's little boy is growing so fast. It is possible for her to leave him and she has been helping the actives rush. Virginia Crossman is attending Teacher's College, she will be teaching in February.

We certainly enjoyed being down at Norman during the "rush" season, and were quite surprised and most over-joyed to see so many of the alumnae there from over the state—Alice Ward Friend, Tulsa; Juanita Stephens Brown, Guthrie; Vera Daggs, Marjorie Stafford, Ruth Black Endicott. Mildred Meade, Pauline Edwards, Zalia Lill, Emily Hess, Vir- ginia White—had a regular alumnae "reunion".

Word has just been received from Mildred Donovan to the effect that she will remain in Santa Barbara, California, for the remainder of the winter and she and her father will drive back here early next spring.
The chapter is glad to welcome a very new member to its midst— the infant daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Scott Squires (formerly Mary Louise Fox). This is our first baby in the alumnae chapter and we are all very proud of her—of course in time we hope to have her as a mem- ber of Alpha Omicron Pi.
