Washington Alumnae Make Silk Cats and Rabbits for Orphans
By JULIA LOUISE BEHRING
On February 14, the chapter was entertained in true Valentine fashion at the home of Nadie Wright. The sandwiches, jello, doughnuts and can- dies were all heart-shaped, as well as the decorations themselves. In such holiday atmosphere, we did not feel inclined to get down to business, so we made cats and rabbits out of old silk stockings to give to the children
in some orphanage or hospital.
The other business meeting was held at Grace I-alegcr's home where the tickets for our next benefit per- formance were distributed. The re-
sults from our last one at the National Theater on February 26 were so satis- fying that we are giving another on April 29. when "Square Crooks" will be played.

Ann Arbor Alumnae Members Are A Transient Group By CHARLOTTE EWINC WAGNER
The Ann Arbor Alumnae chapter has a transient membership, to say the least, and it was with some qualms we met with Mrs. Moses at the Y. W. C. A. to elect officers for our second year. Wc found we had been unduly worried, however, when some of our most capable members accepted offices.

As yet I have not heard definite wedding plans beyond a note from Beryl Madi- son ('26), who's teaching in Shreve- port, that many parties arc being given for Mary, and the news from Gladys Fore ('25). that she is to be maid-of-honor in the wedding.

a trip abroad in 1930.
Jean Jones ('25), however, is plan-

Just after Christmas she had to leave the Uni- versity of Virginia, where she is study- ing medicine, on account of sickness and has been at home in Petersburg. Virginia, ever since. She is getting much stronger now and will be able to continue her work next year.
Margaret Jones ('26), is carrying on at the same rate that she did in college. In addition to teaching in the Petersburg Junior High School, she trained dancers for an operetta, "Han- sel and Gretel," and finally, as a grand climax, sprained her ankle.

oFA long letter from Blanche Smith Renner (Ex. '27), was the first news we had had from her since she left the University. She enclosed an at- tractive picture of a vivacious little daughter, Barbara, age seventeen
months. Her husband, Walter Renner, is superintendent of the grade and high schools in Brownstown, 111. Blanche says she is kept pretty busy taking care of her daughter and her house, besides being active in club, church, and dramatic work. She expects to return to Illinois after Barbara is a little older to get her degree. He hus- band will spend his third summer at Illinois this year working on his master's degree. He was graduated in
1925.
In her letter Blanche mentioned Dottie Hagcbush Siebert ('25). W e didn't know Dottie was married, and we'd be glad to have further details.

Nora K . King sends the following notes:
March 16 was the day of the an- nual initiation of Chi chapter, and the alumnae were just as excited over the event as the actives, maybe more so because initiation always means a number of alumnae returning and a
sort of time of reunion. W e were sorry that the class of '19 had not planned a reunion, and strange as it may seem there was not a member of that class present. W e had a celebration of our own in the form of a luncheon at the Green Gate Tea Room and had 25 present. I passed a paper and asked the girls to write their names and present occupations so if I put them clown, I know "Roby" will for- give me for temporarily taking her
job.
Jessie Lewis Rice ('24), has no
occupation according to the list, but I happen to know that she had a small daughter and a home to care for, so I think that she has plenty of occu-
pation.
Elizabeth Hieb Leist (Theta '22), is homemaking, but hopes that she may have some calls as a substitute teacher because Mr. Leist is out of town quite a bit of the time.
Helen Howalt Lowe ('25), found time to steal away from her adorable young son and come to see us. "Polly"
is just the same as ever, and it was indeed a "sight for sore eyes" to see her again after her trip abroad, her romantic marriage and the advent of young M r . Lowe.
Ann Spaulding ('26), says all she is doing is teaching, but she must like that pretty well because she has been in the same place ever since she start- ed. Coaching plays at the high school takes so much of her *ime that we seldom have any opportunity to see her.

One evening we enjoyed the hos- pitality of Winifred and Harold at their apartment. Winifred is just the perfect house-keeper and cook as you imagine. Ask the boys—they know, and I'll certainly vouch for it. As this is Harold's senior year, their plans for next fall are not definite. It is a general hope, though, that they'll at least live near Detroit.
Mary Kent-Miller has been on the sick list for some time. She gave up her teaching in Hazel Park and re-

April 13 the regular meeting of the Denver Alumnae chapter will be held at my home. At this time our new officers will be installed. .The Chi Delta girls having offices for next year are Catherine Roff ('27), treasurer
and Frances Kimsey ('28), secretary. Mr s . V e r d e W a t s o n ( M a r g a r e t Emanuel '27), who is now living in Roswell, N . M . and her young son plan to spend at least a part of the summer in Denver at the home of her parents, Mr.and Mrs.L.V.Emanuel. During spring vacation Nelle Scott ('27), and I had lunch one day at the Blue Parrot Inn with several actives from Boulder, Mrs. Klein and Nell Dickinson. We discussed our recent rummage sale and various problems which were confronting the active
chapter.
Mr. and Mrs. A. Cranor Wolfe an- nounce the birth of a son, Andrew Cranor, Junior, on March 22.
Hesper has just informed me that I am to continue with this position next year, and I would certainly appreciate hearty co-operation from every Chi Delta alumna. If you have any items of interest for To DRAGMA don't fail to send them to me as I cannot write something about which I have not been informed.

Peg Rennick is still working at the library and, like Elizabeth, is still wearing a Phi Gam pin. Y ou remem- ber, Peg started this year by wearing the pin for the first time on January 1.

They remembered how Ellen got the matches to light the one

At a recent meeting of the active chapter, the following officers were elected for next year: Ruth McClurg, president; Alice Hill, vice-president; Glady Hawickhorst, treasurer; Lu- cille Wright, corresponding secretary; Frances Shera, recording secretary; and Alice Hill, pledge superintendent.
