Cincinnati,
Our A V s r Chapter, Sens for By FRANCES IVINS RICH
Xursery
How good it seems to actually be writing a letter to To DRAGMA about the Cincinnati Alumnae chapter. A t last our ambition has been realized, we are no longer a "de facto group." but the near infant alumnae chapter of Alpha Omicron Pi.
On Sunday, March 4, Rose Gard- ner Marx stopped off on her way from Boston to install us. We con- sidered it a most unusual and pleas- ant event to be installed by our Grand President. Mrs. Marx arrived in the morning. During the afternoon
several members of the chapter took her around our fair city to view the places o f interest. I n the evening a banquet was held at the Hotel Gib- son, at which time Mrs. Marx told us much of interest relative to the doings of other chapters both active and alumnae; and also something of what had transpired at the National Panhellenic Congress. Her talk made us all feel much nearer our national organization and especially grateful that we will be permitted a real place in the future program of our frater- nity.
The next day Frmina Smith Price, Lillian Hemple Moore, and Frances Ivines Rich accompanied Mrs. Marx to Oxford, and remained over for a banquet given that evening by the actvies of Omega chapter in honor of Mrs. Marx.
Our chapter here in Cincinnati is comprised of a group of twenty-two
girls from various chapters. Fol- lowing is a list of our charter mem- bers: Mrs. Richard Scully. (Theta); Emma Perry Thaver, (Zeta) : Er- mina Smith Price, (Iota); Ltiella Driscol, (Theta) ; Ophelia Perkins Titus, ( P i ) ; Mildred Bartlett, (Theta); Alpha Williams, (Theta);
Helen Wolfe. (Omicron Pi) and Frances Ivins Rich, Louise Rev. Mar- garet .McLennan. Elma Roberts, Rachael Robson, Gladys Herrle. Lil- lian Hemple Moore; Helen San ford; Amelia Seufferle; Bernadotte W in- ter; Thelma Nichel, Alice and Jessie • Venn, all of Omega chapter.
We have been meeting for some- thing over a year, and the meetings,' have been either a bridge dinner at | the Kemper Lane Hotel, or a gath-; ering in the homes of the members. The time, at many of our meetings, was taken up in making aprons for a colored free day nursery here in Cin- cinnati. It made us feel o,ur efforts had not been in vain when we car- ried the finished products to the nur- sery and found them so greatly ap- preciated.
However, working without funds in the treasury is a rather difficult proposition. In order to remove this difficulty we held a benefit bridge which netted us some $70. It is our desire to make this benefit bridge an annual event, hoping to make each year's affair bigger and better.
In April the Gamma Phi Beta, Sigma Kappa, and Alpha Omicron Pi sororities are hostesses to the annual Panhellenic party. -

Tulsa Tells of Installation
By EDNA MAEBROOKS HILL
The week-end of our installation as an Alumnae chapter was a me- morable and exceedingly pleasant one for the following girls who were in- stalled: [Catherine DePuy, Stella For- tier, Elizabeth Elgin, Madge Mc- Whorter, Alice Ward Friend (Mrs. Harrv J.), V era Daggs, Virginia White, Edna Mae Brooks Hill (Mrs. Murl F.), all of Xi,Natalie Overall W arren (Mrs. W. K.),Nu Omicron, and Ethel Brooks, Iota. Leine Far- ris Brown (Mrs. Paul), Xi.and Eva Drumm Stacey (Mrs. Maro H.) Phi, signed the petition, but were un- able to be present for any of the af- fairs during installation. They will be members of the chapter, though, giving us twelve to begin with. We were delighted to have Mary Beth Davies Grisso (Mrs. W. D.), Theta, of Norman and Seminole as our in- stalling officer; especially, because X i girls, except two, were initiated by Mary Beth into the active chapter and think of her as really ours in- stead of Theta's.
The week-end began with a lunch- eon having Natalie Warren as host- ess in her home on Thursday, March 22. The luncheon table had a very attractive centerpiece of red roses and at each end of the table was a large Easter rabbit and baskets of Easter eggs. The Easter motif was expressed in all the luncheon ap- pointments. Following M rs. W ar- ren's luncheon, Elizabeth Elgin pre- sided at tea in her home, assisted by her mother. Mrs. L. L. Elgin. Red roses were used to decorate the rooms and tea table. The climax of Thursday's affairs came with the banquet given by the alumnae mem- bers at the College Club, a recent so- cial organization of University Women of Tulsa. The red rose idea was carried out in all the table de- corations except the menu cards, which were hand-painted represent- ing our pin. Katherine De Puy acted as toastmistress for the evening, dur- ing which a short program was given.
Natalie Warren gave a history of
the chapter, Mary Beth Grisso, an ideal chapter, and Katherine De Puy, our plans and hopes for the future of our chapter; all of which in- spired us with a great desire to make Tulsa Alumnae Chapter suc- cessful in all its undertakings.
Friday, luncheon was held at the Egyptian Tea room. With its bizar- re decorations and atmosphere of the far East, the lunch was charmingly different. Having our fortunes told with tea leaves brought a delightful
occasion to a merry end. The after- noon was spent showing M rs. Grisso the "sights of the city". The alum- nae members gave a buffet supper in the home of Alice Friend, carry- ing out our sorority color in all ap- pointments. We were so glad to be joined at this time by Ruth Black Endicott (Mrs. Van), Edna White, and Marjorie Stafford, members of the Oklahoma City Alumnae Chap- ter, who drove through for installa- tion in Edna's new Chrysler coupe. W e were formally installed that evening at the home of Virginia White in a most beautiful and im- pressive manner by Mary Beth Grisso.
Luncheon Saturdav was given at the Tulsa Club, which is in a new building of its own. The table dec- orations were in pastel shades fea- turing spring. A shopping tour of Tulsa's many smart shops and large department stores filled the after- noon. In the evening Stella Fortier was hostess at an informal bridge party which was followed by a line partv at the Ritz Theater. Mrs. Gris- so left Sunday noon and .TO Tulsa Alumnae chapter was no longer a dream.
We began our regular monthly meetings in the early summer at Na- talie W arren's, having a permanent organization in mind. A t succeed-
ing meeings we drew up our con- stitution and by-laws and elected the following officers for this year: Kath- erine De Puy. President; Stella For- tier. V ice-President; Elizabeth El-

ing lessons a kettle of soup simmers on the stove. Yes, we need stoves in California on chilly days. We even drive through snow on our way to Pine Canyon after lunching at an Inn on the Ridge Route. We hardly realize we have climbed to an altitude of 4,123 feet. It is a typical winter scene too with snow and pines, but most all of the way we have been within sight of snow, but thanks to California sunshine it remains balmy and warm.
In Pine Canyon we find Yaltaire and its school room of enthusiastic boys and girls. They have a new school building of which they are very proud. But no more of it than of their clean teeth record. Nine of the twelve
pupils enrolled have 100 per cent mouths—no defects. One boy has excep- tional teeth and is envied by all who sec him smile!
It has been a long day, but let tis take a few minutes to note the hearty welcome we receive at Elizabeth Lake school. School is dismissed, but most of the children gather around to hear what me might have to tell them. Two girls inform me that they haven't missed brushing teeth twice a day since I was there before, and that was three months ago.
If we are to enjoy our trip through Boquet Canyon, we must hurry be- fore it gets too dark. A ll the schools have been dismissed, so we relax and enjoy the sunset views in the Canyon.
When we at last reach San Fernando it is six o'clock. We have driven 152 miles—visited six schools and passed six schools without making visits. There are several other similar trips we could take and find many more enthusiastic children and quaint schools.
Now who can truthfully say there are no joys in Dental Hygiene? Four Tan girls are Hygienists, and I am quite sure that they agree that our pro- fession is one of deep interest and has big possibilities in the near future.

Some of us were fortunate enough to be present at the formal initiation held at the chapter house in Berkeley on March 29. I wish you all could have been there, as I think it was one of the nicest initiations we have had for some time. We were par- ticularly fortunate in having Rose Gardner Marx with us that day. She officiated at the initiation and later presided as toastmistress of the ban- quet. W e all enjoyed hearing about her trip east and her visits to the various chapters.

Aside from the Epsilon alumnae we were very glad to have four sisters from Chi for initiation and the banquet.
What is now the "traditional" ini- tiation breakfast, served in the liv- ing room on Sunday morning, was no small part of the week-end festivities. The graduates gave a stunt as did the other classes, and one of the Chi sisters gave two very fine read- ings. From the mid-night chats which we had with the "alumnae guests," it seems that all of them are getting along fine.
As we told you in the last To DRAGMA, Madeleine Koby ('25), has recently opened a new branch of the Childs Restaurant in New York City. From all reports it is working out very well, and we know that Madeleine is a big factor in that because she had to leave us immedi- ately after the banquet Saturday night in order to get back on the job.
Edwina Carpenter ('25), had all kinds of interesting things to tell about the Social Service work which she is doing in Syracuse. She writes mostly: " I f I really was doing such
alot,itmightbeahelp,butasitis I can only say I continue to do Social Work, and each day am a firmer be- liever in birth control and middle age marriages."
Of course, Mary Donlon ('20), is still holding her important position
a strong supporter of Edwina's sen- timents as expressed in her letter.
I won't mention the activities of the other alumnae who were back since they were written up in pre- vious issues of To DRAGMA
In order to get news of those Ep- silon sisters from whom we haven't heard in sometime, we sent out a little note during the last month to several alumnae asking for news of themselves. I am glad to say that the responses have been very encourag- ing, and that I can list some inter- esting items gathered from several sources.
Mrs. D. J. Crowley (Katherine Donlon '12), writes, " I am spending this year in Madison, Wisconsin, where my husband is taking advanced work. I have four children, Mary Honor, Danny, Ellen and baby Joan who was born December 9. In June
we expect to return to Bowling Green, Ohio, where my husband is head of the department of Industrial Arts."
We hear from Mrs. Earl D. Terry (Dorothy Hieber '20) : " I am now married and living at Patchogue, Long Island. My husband is the Suffolk County representative for S.
W. Straus and Company.

that I could get back to Ithaca more often, particularly around initiation. "I see Sally Searles ('21), once in a while, but she's the only Ep;i!on

Crocuses and tantalizing prairie breezes; spring vacations and spring fever; showers that are wet, and showers that are bridal; and a dead- ly longing to migrate with the sound of a train whistle in the distance and change the color of our wings from the drabness of winter to the gayer
hues of spring. Most of us have plans that are many and varied. Per-
the nicest ones come with spring. We'll give credence to them all, and they may remind us of something zve had always planned to do, too.

From the Alumni News I gleaned this paragraph: "Julia Norton Clemes wrote a very interesting ac- count of a plague of locusts, the kind read about in the Bible. This took place in Delhi, India. She said the air was filled with them for hours."
Merva Hennings, as you all prob- ably know from Carolyn Piper Dorr's letter, is in Florida recupera- ting from her third serious opera- tion within a year. As beautiful as our new house in the quadrangle is, and as much as we love it, one per- son's health is too big a price to pay for it, and we are hoping for Mer- va's recovery to be quick and com- plete. I had a note from her yester- day from Tarpon Springs still think- ing of others and wanting to, be of help, bless her!

Bertha Thurman has been in Phoe- nix, Arizona since the first of the year attempting to recover from a nervous breakdown which caused her to leave school last fall.
Helen Schmidt wrote not lung ago that after Irene Peterson and Nelle Campbell come to Evanston in June for their fifth reunion, they plan to go east to visit Kay Graham Young. Says Schmidty, Kay gets everybody coming and going through New Yoxk in every direction.

Although she isn't aware of it npw, by the time she returns there will be showers planned in her honor, and then she and Stuart will be married very quietly the first part of July. Their wedding trip will of necessity be short, because Stuart is playing with the Rainbo Gardens

None of us has heard from Gladys Gibson since she went off on her marvelous cruise, and as one of these godless young scamps told me, "W e think she's a buzzard not to write us!"

Grance Gilfillan is going to Sum- mer School and then hey! for At' lanta, and the usual gay time she has there. I'm always scared that some day she'll forget to come home to us.

Alpha Rho
By DOROTHY LAMB BISHOP
Things have been rather quiet among the Alpha Rho alumnae since the last letter, but we do have a few announcements.
Coming as a surprise to most of us. Norine Gibbins (Ex. '29), was married to Harry Edgerton in Cor-
vallis during the spring vacation. They took a flying trip to Seattle and on their way back Norine stopped in Portland long enough to call several of us and tell us she
now had a new name. They re- turned to Lakeview, Oregon where
they will make their home for the present.
The Alpha Rho M others' Club, al- though very small in number have been quite active this winter. This week they are giving a benefit bridge partv at the home of Alma Harsfeldt Janz (Ex. '29). The pro- ceeds will be used for house furnish-
ings of the active chapter.
W e arc looking forward to sever-
al interesting marriages this summer. Mabel Parrish is to be married sometime soon, followed by Helen Smith sometime later this summer.
Chi Delta
By NELLE I . SCOTT
If only our alumnae would do their vacations, but these plans are
something, so that I'd have some- still in a very nebulous state, and thing to write about! They are all will probably be changed many times
working away, at their same old before summer finally gets here.
By the time the next letter is due, I hope that there will be just a lot of news to tell you, but now, there just
jobs, and there hasn't even been an
engagement to break the monotony.
Now that spring is really here, all
of the girls are beginning to plan isn't any!

Our Sympathy to Katharine March
Our sympathy goes out to Katharine March Thomas, chairman of our Special Research Committee, whose father died very suddenly in March. And to Epsilon and the family of Nell Catterley Fay whose death occurred on
April 15, we send a word of comfort.
Our Congratulation to Joanna Huntington
On the heels of sorrow comes laughter, someone once said, and this time it's baby laughter for James Contine, Jr., has come to live with Joanna Huntington and her husband. March 21, the beginning of spring is his birth- day. The fraternity wishes the young man a long life of joy.
