FOR TilE fir st time in its hi s tory, National Panhellenic Congress invit ed a group of und ergraduates to attend two open ses sions of its biennial meeting , held at St. Loui s in October , 1931. Representatives from as The of far West as th e Pacific Coast, and as far South as Texas S t . Lo u IS w e re se nt by loca l college Panhellenics to St. Louis, for the two sessions with the Congress, which were followed by s upplementary forum meeting s
It wa s a s urpri se to m any o f the college delegates that the real business was f a r from that of laying down detailed statu t es for lo ca l Panhellenics , of establishing uniform pledge day dates, or of s ingling out infractions of l ocal rulings to use as shining n ationa l examples. Instead, the active girls discovered
that the St. Louis Congre ss was u s ing every means to further the mutual understanding of the 22 national women's organizations on its roll, by free interchange of poin t s of view, by delightful persona l contacts, and by emphasis upon an idealistic sp irit of constructive co-operation. During regular sess ion s and round tables new national movements were discussed pro and co n. 0 f specia l value were round table groups which had as their subjects particular problems of national presidents, tr easurers, editors, inspector s, executive secretaries, etc. Even a fancy dress party and a suspend e d initiation fo stered tru e Panhellenic spirit.
Surely it is time for the nati onal spirit to reach lo ca l Panhellenics and to dissipate any possible pettiness and distru st which occur always as a result of mis und erstanding. The inspiring addre ss of our own Dean Maria Leonard, of the University of Illin ois, to the College Panhellenic sessio n , which pictured flas on a silver screen" the college fraternity woman of the future, st ruck the real k eyno te of th e Congress when she sa id that that new woman would prove her adherence to the id eals of her own fraternity by her adhere n ce to the hi ghest sta ndards of integrity in all her college relation s hips.
A LONG-FELT need ha s recently been mct by the publication of a brief manual giving essentials of correct socia l u sage for fraternity groups, especia lly in c hapter entertaining and good form in the college world. V tllv!,bl! New It was compiled by Beatrice Teague, Colorado B, who has Publ,catlons m ade a valuable addition to the nearly comp leted sct of manual s of the fraternity.
Marga r et Ke ll enbach, Indiana r, ha s edited a new Song b ook of Pi Beta Phi, an outstanding p u blication, containing many old favorites, as well as a number of new ones. The fraternity owes her a debt Of gratitude for this handy volume.

Techniques In Scholastic Achievement
BB Al\'NA LYTLE BRANNON, Ne bras"a B e ta
(MrL Brannon, Cormer Grand President of Pi Beta Phi, and former Dean of Women at Beloit CoUegc, was the first chairman of the national .5Cbolarahip commilte:e of tbe fraternity. She is now Nonhwutcrn District Chair. man or the American Association of University Women.)
T HE chief motive for scho larship is interest in the s ubject matter st udi ed and a perception that the subject itself repre sents so me aspect of life, and that kn ow ledge of the subjec t matter reacts upon Ii fe, giving it breadth, dignity, and power. The distinguished psychologist, Dr. M. E. H arr iott, affirms that the major factors necessary for schola"rly success a re preparation, study habits, intelligence, and an evaluating and persevering attitude. I wish to emphasize briefly the technique of study habits which every student should seek to command.
Real study is genuine intellectual effort. Such effort should have one of its most important expressions in the class room, in unbroken and concentrated attention. All too frequently, with no disciplinary control, the student listens superficially, li s tles sly allows her mind to wander, or even gives attention to some matter entirely extraneous. Thus she loses the value of the class hour.
The same persistent and purposeful attention essential in the class room is necessary in the preparation of college work. Only the time definitely concentrated upon the task at hand counts in study. Half-hearted attention, glancing out of the window, permitting the mind to wander to other interests, stopping every now and then to take part in conversation with friends-all are fatal to effective st udy. If, because of careless habits, the student finds concentration difficult, she can train herself t o it by
starting with a short period of intense and fixed attention, not longer, perhaps, than fifteen minutes. This she can follow by a brief mental re st and then proceed with another period of concentration, day by day increasing the periods.
Regularity in habits of study is also esse ntial. A daily schedule, thoughtfully prepared, assures for major ta s ks the time which they require and relegates to their proper place things of minor importance, which, if undertaken first , are often given time entirely out of proportion to their importance. Adherence to a sc hedule enables the student to accomplish far more than she could with her time unorganized. As a matter of habit, she attacks her work promptly and concentrates upon eac h st udy at the time which her best judgment has indicated as mo s t favorable for it . She is under none of the nervous strain which is inevitably present, if she follows no definite program in the preparation of her work, and she gains more time for recreation than s he could otherwise have.
To hold hersel f to her task, she needs the persevering attitude stressed by Dr. Harr iott. She will find herself faced with distractions and interruptions which she must not allow to divert her. She must train herself to concentrate in spite of them and to work on until her task is completed. If she exercises disciplinary control and trains herself in the art of study, she will be abl e to achieve her objectives in minimum time and will have at her disposal abundant opportunity for recreation and for participation in college activities. She can enjoy to the fullest college tife with its work and its play.

Awomen's fraternity chapter today occupies a unique position on the campus it graces, by reason of certain definite r esponsibi litie s it has taken upon itset f. The manner in which it acknowledges and fulfills these obligations determines its worth, not only to the university of which it is a part, but to the individual members who compose the chapter.
An unidentified clipping includes this concise and significant statement : "J f a colleg e fraternity is to make good, it must get in harmony with the esse ntial facts of associated life ."
These essentia l facts on a university ca mpu s necessar ily encompass: (1) The right of each individual member to her own capacity development (not sacrificed by assignment to certain campus activities or organizations merely becau se of chapter need for repr esenta ti o n there); (2) Definite standards expected of every c hapter member in scholarsh ip, ethical responsibility, social code , and reliability in "ca rrying through U any accepted undertaking; (3) A developed sense of loyalty in the c hapter that includes the strict upholding of fraternity standards, without the losing s ight of the personal relationships of sorority life; (4) True sports man sh ip on th e part of members toward the chapter, between individuals in the chapter so complete ly that no room can exist for factions or politics; and in the campus activities, toward other students. recognizing worth where it may be found-regardless of fraternity or group connection, or lack of it.
Two major phases stressed by practically eve r y sorority to it s chapters are high scholarship and campus ac-
tivitie s. The se are very important of course, and build pre:-.tige for the chapter, both on her own campus and with the national organization-but too many times girl s register for certain courses because they can make a grade A or B in them, when their real interest is in some department or course where high grades are more difficult to secure. In other words, grades arc too frequently e mphasized rather than a genuine program for a well-rounded or s ubstantial education.
The girl who takes matters into her own hands and enters stiff courses that give her a fund of high-brow information is frequently thought queer , and is made to feel somewha t out of place in the sorority. A thoughtful analysis of the dining table or drawing room conversation in many a c hapter house is a most enlightening and disillusioning experience.
Campus activities are an ultra essential phase of college life, both from the angle 0 f learning to handle responsibilities, developing initiative, reso urcefulne ss, tact and poise-and developing friendships on the campus at l a rge . The value, however, of the se activities is greatly increa sed if a g irl concentrates her int erests in definite fields so that she is able to carry through every undertaking in a fini s hed manner , and with complete thoroughness, without neglect either of her health or her sc hola stic work.
With a ful1 academic program, it i s se ldom a girl can h andle more than one major and two minor activity respo n sibi liti es without interfering to greater or l ess degree with a wellrounded academic, soc ial, and health schedule, plus the s upplementary cul-
tural development secured by attend · ance at some of the many extra-curricular events occurring on every university campus.
ConcC"rning these extra-curricular lectures, which are frequently given by world renown e d scientists and authorities in all pha s es of research and culture, it is intere s ting to observe that the attendance of sorority women (and fraternity men) t oo often constitutes a minority-unle ss attendance is required by some department or professor for a given course,

o YOU know that when you are just half way round the world a Pi Phi latch string hangs out in Rangoon?JJ writes Mrs. B lanche Spurgeon Riggs, Iowa B, wife of the principal of the Methodist Burmese Boys' High School in Rangoon, Burma.
"Perhaps some people think the Ii f e a f a missionary is most sombe r and sobe r and co lorless. But it is not thi s in a port city such as Rangoon, where the round-the-world steamers stop and where the airplane routes lead straight through from England to Austral ia. Within one week, we may be invited to a Burmese child's ear-boring ceremony, to a Tamil, Indian, betrothal, to a Chinese wedding, and to a Burmese funeral, all with their various customs and costumes and ceremon i es. As we drive down the streets we pass Hindu temples, Burmese pagodas, Mohammedan mosques, as well as
S ..ority life offers advantages that are difficult to secure in other ways, in friendships, social life, frequently in better housing accommodations, and happy covi rooment. The chapter that analyzes the resour c es available for the personal benefit of all its members and endeavors to strengthen itself by rounding out and developing its members to the highest level possible for each individual girl. is the chapter that in the end will accompli s h best its purpose of campus and later, of life leader s hip.
churches of various denominations."
Among the many gues t s who have stayed at the Riggs' horne, situated on the meridian that passes through Iowa, were representatives from Java. China, Japan. Singapore, the Philippines, Honolulu, Sweden, New Zealand, England, Ireland, India, and Amer ica These included members of many denomination s, as well as some bishops and their wives, two of whom were Mrs. WeIthy Honsinger Fisher and Mrs. John Robinson, both Pi Phis.
Mrs. John McGuire, Indiana A, of the Baptist mi ssion in Burma, and Mrs. Riggs had a cooky- s hine together in the Land of Pagodas, and Margaret Huffman Youtz of Iowa A spent the time be twe e n boats.
"So if any of you readers are 'On the Road to Mandalay' or passing through this city. be sure to pull our latch strings," concludes Mrs. Riggs.

ATIONAL PANHELLEN I C CONGRESS gives to its member fraternities nothing of greater value than the opportunity for personal contacts between their officers. A report of the actions taken by any Congress presents only a s mall part of its accomplishments: the solution of many perplexing college Panhellenic problems will come from the mutual re spect, confidence, and liking fostered by it.
The decisions of the National Panhellenic Congress which met in St. Louis, the last week of Octoher, are given in detail in the official minutes, copies of which have been sent to all Pi Bela Phi chapters and officers, but the mo st important are, briefly, as follows:
National Pan hellenic Congress reaffirmed its approval of a short open rushing season, with "open rushing" officially interpreted t o mean that "each fraternity may have the privilege of stating the facts regarding its own organization to a rushee, and that a statement of facts follow, such as date of organization, number of chapters, and so forth." Open rushing is not, in any sense, license to speak disparagingly of another fraternitJ'1
The Congress went on rec ord as disapproving of loca l Panhellenic conclaves. It approved a rec o mmendation that college Pan helle nics compile and keep on file with their deans of women accurate data covering the expense of membership in each fraternity chapter on the respective campuses.
It reaffirmed its agreement with the educationa l fraternities but affrmed the right of National Pan hellenic fraternities to consider as their legitimate fie lds "every d epartment o f a co lle ge or any college within a university. where
students can pursue studies leading to a bachelor's degree."

meeting is the most enjoyable of the Panhellenic Congress, and this dinner proved no disappointment. Florence Merdian, ed itor of the Aglaia of <I> M, and chairman, presided. Each guest introduced herself and we found 19 of us to present. The Chairman read a letter of greeting from Leland F. Leland, T K E, president of the College Fraternity Editors' Association.
Frances Warren Baker's illustrated
talk of her canoe trip in Europe proved an evening of good entertainment. Her se nse of humor and experiences of the unu sua l creat e d no end of laughter.
Shop talk took a turn toward pub . l icity. The sororities and their editors se emed opposed to the publication, in local newspapers, of social items. Shirley Kreasan Krieg told of Z T A' s plans. On Founder s' Day publicity is sen t from her office to newspapers telling of philanthropies. Her office main. tains an information se rvice where photographs 0 f prominent members a nd information concerning the soror· ity may be obtained.

(EDITOR'S NOTE: This article, condensed and reprinted from tile ULyre of Alpha Chi Omer.a/' January, 1930, gives a sur1l ey 0/ t Ie allruistic work of women's fratertlities. It 'WaS pu.blished two years ago; allowatlce tnlut be made for increased activities si"u that time For a future ;SSfU, a tleW survey is n ow being compiled by the ARROW Editor')
T o BRING into the lives of others "beau ty for ashes"-the lifting of hope, the wholeness of body. the enrichment of mind and heart, the opening of new doors t o real achievement-is not thi s the doing 0 f a good deed in a waiting world? Far-reaching in scope and noteworthy in re s ults are the philanthropies sponsored by mo st of th e women 's fraternities which comprise the National Panhellenic Congress . Pi Beta Phi! and Gatlinburg! Seventeen years ago a tiny set tlement school with one teacher and thirteen pupils came into existence at Gatlinburg, Tennessee. This project gradually has developed until Gatlinburg is sy nonymous with an educational and social center which la s t year included ten grades with cla sses in dome stic science, weaving, and vocational agriculture. Approximately 150 pupils participated in its benefits. There were nine teachers, a director, a bookkeeper, a supervisor of industry, a resident graduate nurse and an assistant, a housemother for the girls' re s idence, two cooks, and two f a nn managers.
The fraternity owns more than 100 acres of l and, has a weU -e quipped grade school building wit h five classroom s, a l ibrary and basement fitted up for domestic sc i ence, two moder n r es idences for the teachers, two cottage dormitories, a small but we ll -
equipped unit for clinics, dispensary service and operations, the Arrowcraft Shop for Indu s tri es, a beautiful and adequate vocational high school building with an auditorium, a tenant hou se , and a large modern barn and a brooder hou se and h a tchery for community u se. The total assets of the sett lemen t school are now $81,000. In the year 1927 -28 exclus ive of new building projects, the sc ho ol had an income of $53,853 and an expense of $45,312. The county school board paid the fraternity a sum of $2,860 for the .school , while the State of Tennessee made appropriations for agriculture, home economics, and weaving No t ax has ever been l evied 01£ a1lY c hapt er, alumnlr or member of the fraternity for the support of the school. This support has been wholly vollllJtary and the gifts to the school in 1927-28 from tlte fraternity totaled ?nore than $30,000. Thi s means that about $15,000 came from other sources. Basket making and weaving as home industries have been encouraged, and the fraternity finds a ready sale for these p r oducts. The more than $14,000 paid to fami l ies in the Gatlinburg comm u nity during that year for the se products was in many in sta nce s almost the sole means of support. The school fosters a thriving corrununity club, has chartered a future Farmers tPf Tennes se e chapter, and has supervised an annual fair.
In the future, n B aspires to make Gatlinburg a community center with a fo u r-yea r h igh school and to take over outlying schoo l s and bring their grade work up to standard; it hopes to extend social service work to the community and to stimulate adult teaching
which they are now conducting in connection with the state ptan therefor. Under the caption, "News from Little Pigeon" THE ARROW of IT B carries regular news from the settlement school. Pi Beta Phi also maintains a Loan Fund and a Fellowship Fund.
Kappa AJpha Theta has sponsored no national altruistic work hut has functioned ideally with a Friendship Fund and has a scholarship loan fund. These funds are supported by active and alumnre chapters country wide. The Friendship Fund is available to members out of college
Following Kappa Kappa Gamma's work in the WorlCt War, no national benevolent undertaking has been adopted. The fraternity , however, ha s a specia l project known as the Rose McG i ll Fund, which is somewhat similar to Kappa Alpha Theta's Friendship ' Fund. It was created in a s pirit of sisterly love to help members who need it. The individual associations sponsor l ocal philanthropie s. Kappa Kappa Gamma also maintains a scholars h ip loan fund which is open to nonmembers as well as membe r s.
D u ri n g th e wa r A l pha Phi ca rri ed on with a project known as the Rouen Foye r. Si n ce t h e wa r , however, its rea l activ ity has been scholarship work, keeping a l truistic endeavor within its membersrup. The Martha Foote Crow Student Loan F u nd was established in 1926.
The individual chapters of Delta Gamma support specia l charities a n d a nationa l philanthropic endeavor is being investigated with an early selection expected.
Gamma Phi Beta has concentrated mainly along scholarship lines with the Lindsey Barbee Fellowship award of $1,000 awarded to a graduate majoring in social service. The national organization recently has assumed the maintenance of a summer camp in the Colorado mountains for underprivileged children.

Alpha Chi Omega's formally stated purpose includes the intenti on "to advance the appreciation and practice of the allied arts," and so we find that the first contribution to service stands perhaps as a monument to the earlier but now obsolete musical art traditions of the fraternity i namely, the first gift studio to be presented to and maintained at the MacDowell Colony of artists in Peterborough , New Hampshire. Here recognized talented folk in all of the arts: paintinG' , pro se writing, poetry, music, sculpture, seek a sanctuary from which to serve culture to a needy world. Following the war work, which included the support of 100 war orphans for a period of years, many project s were considered. One field appealed to all i namely , to sponsor with financial help worthy boys and gir l s in their efforts to secure a high school education, and thus enrich the greatest art of all-the art of living. As a national project, the work has been indorsed enthusiastically and supported by alumna! organizat ions throughout the country. The financial aid given is an out-right gift. The girl or boy se l ected by an ad m inistering alumnz group mu s t be not only needy but worthy in every way i a student of character, ability, and commendable scholastic record. The work is known officially as "Scholarships for Chi l dren," i n order to obviate the stigma of outright -<:harity which is so objectionab l e. These scholarships are administered through the alumna! chapters and clubs In order to make the project workable the alumnre group appoints a committee to work with a high schoo l principal in ' search of a worthy child. The money i s paid to the child in accordance with a weekly allowance schedule, previously worked o ut by the local alumnre committee in charge. The funds are contributed by the alulllnre chapters and club s, augmented, according to a scate, by national fraternity funds.
This altruistic field has obvious advantages and makes a general appeal. Its range is wide, for it is not confined to anyone locality and no large , expensive plant has to be maintained. Occasionally a group becomes so attached to it s protegee that interest and financial assistance are extended beyond the preparatory school years into nonnal training or college work.
Alpha Chi Omega also maintains a sc holar s hip loan fund available to members. A new fellowship also is announced, The Mary-Emma Griffith Memorial Fellowship available for graduate work either in this country or abroad, for r esearch work either at home or abroad, or for creative work in any of the fine arts.
Delta Delta Delta, lik e mo st other fraternities, engaged in war work. A ha lance of $1,000 was l e ft from this work and later this was augmented to $2,500. It was then presented to the American Dormitory at the Cite Universitaire in Pari s. The money ha s been u se d to furni sh a room in the dormitory and this will benefit fittingly both French and American s tudent s. Other than this Delta Delta Delta has not stressed or engaged in any definite piece of altruistic work of extraneous charac ter. The main effort has been sc holar s hip loan aid extended to members.
Alpha Xi Delta has emphasized sc holarship loan work to members and awards a scholarship of $1,000 through the A.A.U.W.
Chi Omega's special interest has been vocational guidance carried on through a national committee and when possible in co·cwcration with l oca l college authorities. The Eleusir, fraternity quarterly, publishes special contributions along this line.
Sigma Kappa directs all efforts towards the Maine Seacoast Mission and is accomplishing some gratifying results. A representative i s maintained on the missionary boat, Sunbeam, which
plies the rocky coast carrying cheer, social service, and wei fare aid to the dwellers on the isolated islands there. H ea dquart ers for the work are at Bar Harbor, }.{aine. Two fulltime workers. paid entirely by Sigma Kappa, are de\'o ting themselves to thi s work, which includes religious activities of all types . In addition four or five Sigma Kappas spe nd the summer season at Bar Harbor working under th e direction of the mi ss ion. Active and chapters pledge fifty dollars annually to the work. In addition individual chapters se nd boxe s of clothing a nd toy s at Christmas time.
Alpha Omicron .l>i extends aid to handicapped children. a work s upported by the grand treasury, alumn ee chapters, and voluntary gifts. Help also is given to members of the fraternity who need hospital care. The national organization contributes in a fine way to the work of Sunshine Farm for children at Las Vegas, Califor nia, a home run by a member 0 f Alpha Omicron Pi and her husband. A home for crippled childre n in New Jersey shares in the fraternity's benevolence. The alumnre chapters sponsor l ocal philanthropies.
Zeta Tau Alpha ha s undertaken the upk eep of a health center, with headquarters in a four-room cottage located in a small settlement just at the entrance of Currin Valley in Virginia. A public health nur se is maintained here, and it is hoped that a thorough program in health education will be launched among the mountaineers. Gifts of money and clothing are received from individual <lJumnz while the main financial support rests with the alumnz chapters and clubs.
The summer camp maintained by Alpha Gamma Delta for underprivileged children located on Crispell Lake near Jackson, Michigan, was launched in 1920. It has had the consistent support of members and has developed into a splendid enterprise.
The camp cares for approximately 175 children each season, taking them in two-week periods. The Jackson Board of Health provides a doctor and nurse. All of the actual wo r k in connection wi t h the camp activities, including the cooking, is done by members of Alpha Gamma Delta without remuneration. The only employee is a Boy Scout who helps with the boy s. Helpers are divided into shifts. To spe nd the summer at this camp is the longed-for privilege of active members of Alpha Gamma Delta all over the country.
The large building contains the combined li ving and ., dining room, and kitchen. For many it is the first introduction to tooth brush, tooth paste , a nd wash c1oth! An effort is made to build up not only bodies but ideals and aspirations as well. Alpha Gamma Delta maintains the camp in all ways, providing workers, food and clothing for the children. Both active and alumnre chapters support the work with sta ted annual gifts, and in addition each chapter furnishes one complet e outfit of clothing or its equivalent in money The fraternity has a Lenten Fund, bu il t up by penny sav ings of all the chapters from which fund Christmas gifts are purchased for the children who attended the camp the preceding summer. A total of $5,000 was contributed last year to this work of the frat e rnity.
In exemplification of its motto, "We live for each other," Alpha Delta Pi's national altruistic activities have been in the field of child welfare . Special emphasis hal been given to the opening of day nurseries for the children of working mothers. The first fellowship was awarded for nursery school work this year in the University of Chicago Co-operative Nursery School.
A scholarship loan fund is maintained for members. The alumna! organizations support local philanthropies.
The
Delta Zeta maintains the Delta Zeta Community Center at Ve st, Kent u cky, a small village located twenty miles from the neare st railroad. The plant, which is very complete, includes a school, beginning with the first grade and extending through high school i a community hou se, a dormitory for girls and an "Exchange." There are three teachers, as well as a director. Attendance at the school i s far above the average for the entire state of Kentucky. The center ha s a champion girls' ba s ketball team and la st year the boys won the coveted title. Delta Zeta is striving to teach a better mode of living along with the thr ee R' s. The c enter is the chief intere st of the alumna! chapters of the fraternity, and it is supported by gi fts. A social service tax is levied on all chapters, both college and alumn::e.
Delta Zeta also maintain s a scholarship loan fund which i s available to undergraduate and graduate members.
The Healthmobile of Phi Mu operates as a clinic on wheels during the seasonable months in each of the 158 counties of Georgia. and was started about seven years ago. The State Board of Healt h furnis hes the phys ician, a nurse and chauffeur, as we ll as a movie operator to go with the Healthmobile. Since the work was started about 19,(X)() infants and preschool children and nearly 9,000 school children have been examined by the unit. Educational work has been carried on thro u gh moving pictures and l ectures. which has benefited thousands of children and their parents. Hundred s of children and many adults had never seen a movio« picture before the Healthmobile came, so that a new world was opened to them. The medical profession gives splendid cooperation wherever the Healthmobile travels. County home demonstration agents, county sc hool superintende n ts, and other officials lend aid. Progress also is being made in pre-natal work •
although this is accepted more reluctantly. The Healthmobile is maintained exclusively in this. maternal and infancy field. Phi Mu now is raising a $50,000 endowment fund to take care of this work indefinitely. Chapters and associations are grouped together to make a total of fifty groups so that each pays $100 a year on its $1,000 ten-year life insurance policy. At the cnd of ten years the fraternity will receive the $50,000. New chapters arc grouped with well established associations and the latter pay the greater part of the $100. The arrangement is vice-versa in the case of new alumna:: associations.
Kappa Delta's specia l national altruistic work aside from the usual scholarship loan fund for members is a hospital fund. The sorority s upport s four beds yearly at an outlay of $600 each at the Crippled Children's Ho spital in Richmond, Virginia. They have equipped also a gymnasium there.
The fund is supported by gifts from Kappa Deltas and the sale of Kappa Delta Christmas seals.
The national altruistic work of Theta Upsilon consists of the Theta Upsilon Health Fund of Berea College, Berea, Kentucky. Intere st on this social service endowment fund is contributed to this needed work among the stucit"nts of Berea to take care of dental work, and to provide glasses and similar carc City alumna! associations contribute annually to this work. The National Social Service endowment fund has been built up by the seg regation of a definite part of the dues paid by the college members to the national organization. Theta Upsilon also ha s a National Scholarship Fund, from which loan s are made to members of the fraternity. Theta Upsilon is making definite progress in these directions, having made provi s ions for altruistic work in her original constitution.
Arrow Craft Products wt:re exhibited at the American Folk Art Exhibit, Studio Gallery, Michigan Square Building, Chicago, during· N ovembe r and December.

F e rdinand Schevil of the University of Chicago. This comp r ehensive exhibition of American Folk Art was non-profit making in character, and its intent was t o encourage all types of folk art and to help financially through sales and otherwise if possible the makers of such objects and those organiza t ion s which enco u rage them.
1931- 32 Rusblng Rules

A LL rushing rul es may be bad, as one dean of women, h ot and tir(.d from the stress and strain of legi slative inve stiga t ions. r ep lied However, a r eading of the regulations from some thirty college Panhellenics inclin es one to believe that there are at least bad, worse, and worst.
Let's look at campuses where thi s uneces sa ry evil" has developed to so mething re se mbling sa nity . I would cite you to three co1J eges; they aJI happen to be mid - western universitiesUniversity of Michigan, University of Wisconsin , and Northwestern. There are other campuses that h ave mo st of the better fea tures of th ese . Th e be st single feature of all the se ru shing rule s is the initial tea which every sorority holds on the fir st day of rushing. The sorority invite s to thi s tea all the rushees with whom it has any dates . Therefore a rushee will receive as many invitations as the number of s ororities she has dates with. Rushee s are urged by Panh e llenic to attend as many tea s as possible and instructed t o stay not more than half an h our at anyone. Practically every campus uses this excellent m e thod of introducing all ru s hees to the whole picture.
A good many of th e coll eges divide their rush into two periods of three o r four days each . In vitations to parties in the seco nd period may not be sent until th e last day of the first period of rushing. Usually invitations to affairs in the first period may not be sent until some d ate late in August or eady in September. At Northwestern invitations to the initial tea may not be mailed before September I. Invitations for the rest of dates are sent out after this tea. There are all the
way from eight to tw enty luncheon s, teas, dinners, or evening affairs sc heduled within the se four t o fourteen days. This gives a rushe e an opportunity to accept at l east one or two dates with every soro rity that invites her At Michigan a so r ority may n ot h ave more than four dates with one rushee. In cases where three affairs are scheduled for a day, no sorority sh a ll entertain at more than two in one day. Or a ru s h ee m ay attend only one formal p arty at any so rority hou se. With one exception, eve ry se t of ru shing rul es-and I have r ead carefully thirty sets-p r ovides for one day of s ilenc e at th e end of ru shin g, before the bids are i ss ued .
Excepting Ohio State, every ca mpu s uses the preferential bid system .
Out of the thirty colleges-a nd there were a s many differ e nt sys tem s -the simplest, yet most co mprehens ive plan ha s been worked out at Northwestern.
The Northwestern Panhellenic is· s u es a n ea t, tight little pamphlet which it calls Sororities and YOIl. It co ntains all the information helpful to a freshman confronted with the rush season; warns her t o give certa in mat(ers careful thought; urge s co-opera· tion to observe rushing ru les which are printed in a separate leaflet, and advises th e rushee to be su spicio u s of the fraternity whose members will violate either the lette r o r the spirit of th ese rules.
With but two exceptions, the ru sh· ing season at all these universities comes at th e beginning of the school year. Stanford and Minnesota h avt' postponed rushing until th e second quarter Of this deferred rushing
Dean Mary Yost of Stanford University writes:
"We have tried at Stanford all types of rushing-long and short-and we ha ve had the rushing at the beginning of the freshman year and at the end of the freshman year a nd for several years we have put it in the middle of the year. All periods ha ve distinct disadvantages, but we have found that they are perhaps less in the middle of the year than they are at any other time."
For freshman pledging but sophomore initiation, Dean Elizabeth Conrad of Michigan State College writes:
HI have come to the po int of belief in freshman pledging, at least in these great state universities , the freshman needs the direction and guidance of her sorority at that tim e ... I am a strong believer in sop hom ore initiation because I think it makes for a more carefully selected sorority group."
Texas has deferred rushing and pledging. No pledging until grades are in at the end of the first semester. "The consensus of opinion," writes the assistant to the dean of women, "seems to be that the average grades are better than in the old days of short rushing period and pledging in S(ptembcr. That to be sure is a sM'o n g argument in favor of deferred pledging. On the other hand I que s tion
whether many groups refrain from rushing until the appointed time.
For the short rush season the office of the dean of women at the University of California writes:
"Rushing in any form is bad and is the weak point of the sorority system, because, instead of accenting the ideals and aims which the ritual of every sorority states, it brings to 1i fe petty ambition, competition, and jealousy. If ever anyone could invent a plan of rushing which could be undertaken and carried through in the spir it of good sportsmanship, respect and confidence for the other fellow, willingness to accept victory without conceit, and defeat with self- re spect, something would be accomplished. But this is undoubtedly a counsel of perfection. For ourselves, at the University of California, a short early rushing season has been found the least damaging method by which to recover from this disease of the sorority system."
It is hardly conceivable that the women's national Greek-letter societies are ready to admit that a "counsel 0 f perfection" is beyond their power to achieve. But it behooves them to look to their codes of honor, their Panhe llenic word, gi yen in good faith to be kept honorably.
Vermont Dream Comes True
BII K . ARKLEY
A NY attempt to paint a word picture of a new Pi Phi home is as difficult as trying to describe satisfactorilya ca stle in Spain-so much there is of dreams and h opes and ambitions that have taken the form of reality in wood and brick.
Ten years ago this very winter, the alumnre of Vermont Beta formed a corporation for the purpo se of building a fraternity house All alumna! were urged to do their bit by buying as mu c h stock as they could afford each year. Conditions were such last spring that th e time seemed ripe to begin building. Construction progressed throughout the s ummer and just before Christmas the girls moved into their new home.
And such an attractive home as it is! It stands on a corner lot facing Redstone and Robinson Hall, the main dormitories for women at the University of Vermont. Since there will be no meals served at the chapter house for the pre se nt , the girls will eat at Robinson Hall , a fact which makes not only for convenience but also for democracy. Many of the fine old trees on the lot were saved and these help to form a dignified setting for the hou se which is approach ed from the street by a curved flagstone walk. The English type of architecture has been used throughout, both in design and in furnishings. Mel10w old brick forms the body of the house, with gables of stucco and half timber. The entrance is a low arch outlined by blocks of rough stone. At the left of the entrance, a sturdy door with wrought iron hinges and latch opens into a wide hall. At the right of the door is the stairway and at the front end of the hall is a large casement window with a broad window seat under
it. The low ceilings create the immediate impression of ho spitality and friendliness. Flat Gothic arches form en trance s to the living room a nd th e dining room. The living room is beautifully proportioned and has for its center an inter es ting fi replace on the so uth wall, set flu sh with the wall and outlined in red sto ne blocks, similar to tho se used on the front entrance. There are long casement windows on either side of th e fireplace, with window seats beneath. The floor, like all the floors in the hou se, is of oak and is covered with one large Wilton rug in a soft shade of green. Similar rug::. are used in both the dining room and hall . Two love seats in green on either side of the fireplace, the Qu ee n Anne secretary, the barrel chairs, the Queen Anne davenport, uphol stered in ru st color, and the small occa si onal tables -all help to carry out the period idea and the color scheme of rust , green and gold, keyed to the color note of the printed linen draperies. The lightiflg fixtures are of wrought iron with shoR: candle lights. Th e mothers' club, which has done so much else financialIy and in other ways, furnished the living room.
Another wide, low archway opens from the living room to the dining room. Thus the main rooms are so connected as to form an ideal place for dancing. The dining room is furnished in walnut and contains a Welsh dre.sser, a refectory extension table, ladder back chairs, and a chest of drawers.
Everything that a model housewife requires is to be found in the cheery kitchen.
Besides these main rooms , there is another small suite of rooms on this floor, consisting of the housemother's
room and the alumnce room with a bathroom between.
All of the woodwo rk downstairs is o £ gumwood with a rubbed finish. The walls are finished in rough p la stic paint Two essentials were kept in mind in plannmg the house; namely. that the hOllse he easy to care for, and that th e upkeep be as low as poss ible.
The second floor has e ight double bed ro o ms, each with two clothespre sses, cots, dresser s, study tables , and chairs . Th e girls have exe rci sed th e ir individual ta s t es in cretonne and other decorations and have made them 1110 St att racti ve The walt s of the bedr oo m s are sof t cream color. and the bathroom i s green and ivory like the kitchen.
F r om the h a ll of the first floor , the main stairway continues to the basement. Because of the sl ope of the land , all of the space in the ba se ment could be u s ed as a ground fl oo r with regular s iz ed windows in th e rOOl11s. The mo s t important room in the ba se me nt i s the large c h ap ter and lounge r oomthe same s iz e as the living room above .

Endowment as a Rnsiness Proposition
T HE enthusiasm di s played on the floor of the 1931 Convention of D B <P, when nearly five thousand dollars was subscribed for the Endowment Fund, has given added impetus to its completion. A place for it ha s been made on th e budgets of alumnre clubs, as well a s those 0 f active chapters. Individual s ha ve contributed generously. The following res tatement of the plan and purpose of the fund gives concretely the reasons why it must go steadily forward to completion.
Active chapters and those whose alumn<e life has not brought them in close touch with the business institution which the national organization of n B 4lo has come to be, may find it difficult to realize that, like any other business institution, we must have so me capital to continue the proper functioning of the organization. While in college , n B means to a great extent, social contact, mutual plea sure, and co-operation, but with little realization of the scope of the national work and the expenditures invo l ved in maintaining it . who have not continued their association with the fraternity are even more handicapped, perhaps, as they may not be aware of the development s ince the more simple days of their chapter life. Even those alumn:e who se association has been fairly close have had th e ir energies directed largely and quite correctly toward the work of the Settlement School
For this reason it is wi se to make again a somewhat detailed statement of the reasons for the Endowment Fund. You must s ee behind the cookyshines, the alumnae: club meetings, even the national conventions, into the . workings of the business organization which holds together and directs all of these activities, to realize the need for this.
A recent letter to province officers outlines the u ses for suc h a fund most clearly, as follows:
The fraternity needs an endowment fund because it would be:
1. A protection against th e emergency which would r es ult should natural conditions mean a loss in income because of exceptional decrease in active membership or in th e contributing ability of it s members.
2. A saf eguard against the loss of purchasing power of income caused by the fluctuating value of the dollar.
3. An assurance of th e perpetuity of institutions such as fellowships, loan funds, and magazines.
4 A provision for the financing of special projects o r for new projects for internal d eve lopme nt as needs arise, for that of the increasingly great amount of cl erica l work inv olved in growth and devel o pment, and fo r that of maintaining close personal contacts between officers, chapters, and clubs.
5. A definite check against too high annual and initiation fees.
The expense money for the running of the fraternity normally comes from the active chapters, which, without a greatly increased number of chapters, remains fairly static, and yet by the laws of nature, the alumnz increase from one thousand to fifteen hundred each year . Unless these alumnz are to be lo st from actual contact with the fraternity, and the fraternity to lose their help and support, continual contact with them must be maintained. Yet such a growth obviously entails additional expen se each year, which must be met in some way. Even the Anow s ubscription , which most of u s think we have paid for in the beginning, costs $5.00 more for a Ii fe membership than most of us have paid, so that the actual receipt of THE ARROW costs the fraternity money each year, which cost grows proportionately
with the increased fraternity membership.
Fluctuation in the value of the dollar is something with which we have all had experience in recent years. Although we are now in a period where the dollar will buy more than it did previously, it is entirely possible that future years may see this reversed and the fixed sum which we now have would be entirely inadequate for the work of the fraternity.
It i s not the purpose that this endowment shou ld be used to finance chapter houses. With this we believe most alumnre. will be in comp lete agreement. A fixed sum, however, would be available to those chapters who wish to do this, as a loan, which would of course keep the fund intact.
It is the aim to use this fund also, in various ways, to increase the st r engt h of the individual chapters. Some fraternities h ave found it advisable to give loan scholarships where such girls as are selected will be a great asset to the chapter. Rightly used, such scho larships will not only streng then the individual chapter but the fraternity as a whole.
One of the greates t values which the alumnre can give back to the fra-
Three Iowa Betas Honored
l'f RS. ANNA DOWELL, Iowa B , former member of the Settlement School staff, recently received an invitation from President Hoover to attend the Home Conference in Washington, in December, because of her
ternity is the felIowship and inHuence of the developed, mature group of alumnre. Such contact, officially, is valuable but expensi,·e. 'Vithout additional funds to make this possible, the acth'e chapters suffer a loss of one of the chief assets of the fraternity. A fund available to increase such contact offers onc of the greatest m eans for growth and increased usefulness.
This seems a cold stateme nt of fact. It is probably possible to make a more emotiona l appeal, to strike all the chords of loyalty, old time associations, etc" all of which have th e ir value, but we believe it of even greater value to state the need s in a businesslike way, to show the same needs for cap ital for development that paralle1s that of any business organization. The need i s businesslike but the reasons for the gift are personal j the desire to make available to both active chapters and alumn::e a continuance of the gifts which the fraternity ha s always felt are its greatest assets. A contribution to the Endowment Fund is a contribution to the greater usefulness of II B 4>.

EONA BAUMGARTNER,
Kansas A, and former president of Eta Province, attended the Yale graduate school during the past year, and in June, 1931, was awarded one of the Sterling Research Fellowships for 1931 -32. She is continuing her research in immunology especially on the relationships of the age of the individual and his specific defense mechanisms to invading organisms.
The honor that has come to Miss Baumgartner is an unusual one, since the Sterling fellowships are seldom awarded to women Miss Baumgartner was graduated from Kansas University in 1923 and later received an A.M. degree from that university. She has studied for some time abroad.
In response to a request, she writes of her unusual work as follows: "The estate of John W. Sterling, which has provided some of the funds to .mplete the Gothic library, the law quadrangle, and the medical laborat ories, has also endowed a few professo r sh ip s and fellowships for research. The Tatter, one of which I have, are u sually g iv en to holders of Ph.D. degrees to complete some specifica lly outlined piece of research in the arts or sciences. I am working in the field of immun ology, which attempts to explain why and how we resist disease.

A New First Lady Wears the Arrow
By NEVADA CnRTSTIAN
A NEW "first lady" is being welcomed' to China by the member s of the American colony. by the officials of the Chinese government, and by diplomatic representatives of other nations in China. She is Mrs. Nelson Trusler Jahoson, the former Jane Beck, member 0 f Wyoming A of II B who became the bride of the American Mini ster to China in October.
There is a s maller group of expatriates or wayfarers in the Orient, to whom the coming of this Pi Phi Hfirst lad y" has been an unu s ual pleasure i they are the Pi Phis who live in Shanghai . For though the capital of China is at Nanking, and the legation quarters are still in the o ld capita l at Peiping. the John so ns will spend a great deal of their time in Shanghai. where they reside at Cathay Mansions.
On her first trip to Shanghai, since s he became Mrs. Johnson, she was entertained by members of the unofficial "chapter" of II B <P alumna! in Shanghai. There are about ten members of this group at the time this article is written, but membership in this farthest W est or farthe st East association of Pi Phis is a transitory thing. One's husband is so likely to be tran sferred to Timbuctoo or Los Angeles a lmo s t any minute.
There is no formal organization of the group: no president, no secretary, no due s. We simply meet once a month at the home of each of the members in tum. We don't even play bridge or sew. We seem to find mere conversation of sufficient interest to insure the attendance of all the members-conversation and tea.
The Shanghai Alumnae Club is exactly four years old, having been
started in December, 1927, s hortly after the evacuation of H a nkow by foreign re s idents. Among th ose who were forced to take refuge in Shanghai were one or two members of IT B who discovered the presence of several others in this city. Eventually all of them were rounded up, and thenceforward they held regular meetings.
The pleasantest thin g abo ut thi s unit of th e fraternity is the frequ ent opportunity to welcome a new member; the saddest, that ju st as frequently the ties of real friend ship must be broken by the inevitable moving on 0 fane of our group.
A l though much of Mrs . Johnson's time in Shanghai was consumed by parties, official and otherwise, on her firM'visit her e, she found tim e to form the acquaintance of the members of her fraternity.
Enthusia s m that is doubly attractive in th e Orient, where ebullience and effervescing sp ir its tend to diminish to th e vanishing point, is one of Jane Beck Johnson's vital tools in captivati ng tho se whom she meets China is a treasure chest, to which her husband has give n her the key, and in high spirits she is extracting from it, tier on tier, the exciting and exotic things we all hope to find.
Essentially interested in the out-ofdoors, she shares with her husband the joy of exploring the hint e rland of China, of vi si ting ancient palaces, and seeing curious people living in mountain fastnesses that must often remind her of h e r own Rocky Mountains . She is going to find beauty in China, too; she is equipp ed to. Scarcely had she become the mistress of the American'legation in Peiping than she affiliated herself with tho Girl Scout
The

troop at the Peiping American Schoo1. As a teacher in the Suisun-Fairfield High School in Cali fornia the last three or four years, she has found Girl Scout work inten se ly interesting. She is going to be an international link between the Girl Scout activities in America and China. Though she is attractive in an evening gown of black velvet, she is really marvelous in a Girl Sco ut uniform.
Of her the China Press, American new s paper in Shanghai, said : "From the picturesque and genuinely Western town of Cody, Wyoming, Mrs. Johnson brings with her the refre s hing naturalness of westerners. This makes for a rare kind of charm and unaffected graciousness that should make her one of the most popular ho stesses among the foreign legations in China."
Concerning her marriage to Mr. Johnson: "Their families have been friends of long standing, ' for three generations' said a Washington Qjlper, describing the romance, but actually they had never met until six years ago when Mi ss Beck visited old friends in Washington while Mr. Johnson was visiting his family there.
"It was during the days that Mr. John so n capably guided her and her brother through the romantic panorama of Peking in August that their friendship sounded a deeper note. The tour ended, and her brother returned to the States without her ."
The North China Daily a British newspaper, carried the fo ll owing comment on her: "Product of the universities of We stern America (she graduated from the University of Wyoming), she is the typical college girl who plays hockey in the autumn, inevitably on the coveted first team, who rides, swims, and directs student organizations.
"Mrs . Johnson did all these things during her undergraduate days. Canoeing. incidentally, is her favo ri te
sport, though the 'dryest state in the Union' afforded little opportunity for this particular diversion.
"She prefers sports to dress clothes, riding to dancing, and considers bridge a s uitable diversion for a rainy afternoon.

The personnel of the remainder of the Shanghai "chapter" includes several who have s pent a number of years in China. In point of re s idence, Mrs. R. J. Corbett i s the veteran among Pi Phis, for she has spent a score of years in var ious parts of this country, about twelve of them in Shanghai. As Katharine Kenny, she attended Franklin College, where she became a member of Indiana A. She is the mother of two potential Pi Phis, Katharine and Harriet . Katharine expects to attend Scripps College next yea r , and Harriet is attending the Shanghai American School. As the wife of R. J. Corbett, who is assistant general manager of the Standard Oil Company in
Shanghai and also president of the Columbia Country Club, she is a factor in the social Ii fe 0 f the American colony. Mr Corbett was a member of Ben at Wooster College.

Po s sibly so, and that is o ne of the thrilling things G irl Scouts do, but it i s only one part of the program which aims to lay a foundation o f wide s pread informati on so we ll that the girl will be equipped to meet the varied problems of adult life with a broad and und e rstanding viewpoint.
The progra m aims to make th e girl
as well round e d in her abilities as possi ble . L e t us begin with th e home. The Scout prog ram tries to mak e the hou se hold ta sk m ore than just so methin g that ha s to be done . Wh e n th e routine of duty can t ake o n the thrill of exp e riment, and th e r e alization co mes that she i s pl ay in g a game which will eventua ll y l ead to adult r espon sibilities, the girl looks upon the daily ta s k in a changed man n e r .

Scout camps throughout the country carried the Scout program to thousands of girls . Other projects cover a multitude of interests-handicraft. nature study. art, health, to the number of fifty-five.
Not only does a girl have a responsibility to her home and t o her friends in camp and at play. but she has a definite re sponsibi lity as a citizen and a possible future leader in the community. The very form of a Girl Scout troop is a training sc hool for citizenship and leadership. She helps to e lect he r patrol leade r and learns through expe rience whether she has wisely elected or not. She must learn to weigh careful1y different ideas, for her decisions will react on the group and on hersel f. Each girl by assuming her share of responsibility in the small group learn s valuable l esso ns in democracy.
The good citizen is the well informed citizen and beca use of the various projects on which a Girl S co ut works she knows her community and where places of inte rest and importance are lo cated. Girl Scouting is not only a field for developing the girl individually into a good citizen, but it contribute to the growth of community enterprise. Wherever there is Sco utin g you will lind girl s contrib u ting their s hare to community life. You will find them taking care a f children during the meetings of Parent - Teache r s Associations or at the polls while mothers are voting, giving clerical help to the Red Cross, Chamb e r of Commerce, and the Community Chest, -fo r it is a Girl Scout's duty to be useful and to help others.
A ll th e thinking world now realizes
no country can be unmindful of othe r countries. Likewise our girls realize that in spite of difference in color, speech or customs, little girls are pretty much alike all the world over . This may be demonstrated by the fact that girls in twenty-nine countries are living the Girl Scout Laws and Promise and are formed into the World Bureau of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts.
As aids to furthering the inter national thought and feeling, an international 'IScouts Own" is held at lea s t once a su mm e r in many Girl Scout camps; there are international troop meetings; there is an annual international number of the Girl Scout magazine, the American Girll an Int e rnational Post Box, and in the program itself th e Int ernational Knowledge Badge. The Int ernational Post Box has an exchange of over a thou sa nd l ette rs.
Recentl y a young Fre n c h girl came into my office. She was a guide on her fir st visit to th e United States. She un ders tood English but spo k e very little, so the problem was to find so meone here who could spea k and understand French. They s tarted off on a tour of National Headquarters looking rather doubtful as to how the situation would work out. A fter some time they came back, both beaming. When I asked how they had gotten along the answer was, "We understood each other so well we didn't have to talk much."
As the se girls grow in understanding and affection for other S c outs around the world, are not the adults of tomorrow going to demand peace among all these friend s?

She afterward sa ng it from the balcony of the Hotel Huntington in Pa sadena to the hundr e d s of Pi Phi s a sse mbled at the Convention of 1929, of which she was Mu s ical Director.
A h er her graduation from college, s he studied with Madame Ragna Linn e in Lo s Angeles, be came professo r of music at Whittier College, Whittier, California , soprano soloist for the Temple Bapti st Church in Los Angeles, and radio so loist for several Los Angele s stat ion s.
In 1929 Harriet wa s chos('n as the outstanding solo ist in America and was awarded the first prize offered by the National Music League, the s um of $5,000 to be used for a conce rt or an operatic debut in New York.
In September o f that year she left for Vienna for intensive operatic s tudy For two year s she coac hed rot es with Frau GutheiI-Schader
studying them in three languagesFrench, Ital ian, and German. \Vhile in Vienna s h e h ad the honor o f an audition before Richard Strauss and h e fore the Intendent of the Vienna opera. She! also appeared on a prog ram at the home of the American Consul with Mi sc ha Elman a s one of th e guest arti st s.
Early in 1931 Harriet Anne signed a contract with th e municipa l opera of Graz, Austria, as leading Lyric Soprano, and appeared there as a guest arti s t in La Bohem e as Mimi, s inging with Burdino, famous tenor (rom the Pari s opera It was her fir s t time b ehind the footlights in professional opera and her first role in Grand Opera, but she became a star overnight- twenty-eight curtain calls from a wildly enthu siastic audience , and her sa lary for the seaso n doubled by th e Intend e nt of the Graz Opera!
Graz is a city of two hundred thou sand! abo ut fiv e h o ur s from Vienna! in an old and beautiful sce nic background. It · i s a univ e r s ity town and boas t s the seco nd la rge st opera in Austria, bowing only to Vienna. Harri e t was urged by the director of th e ope ra to Germanize her name, s inc e her ma ste ry of that la"g uage was already perfect , so now she is Harriet I-[ender s of Morellengcldgas se 4, hei Klingat sc h, Graz! Austria.
She opened the season of 1931-32 in the role of Madame Butterny, and th e journalistic critiques of her performance w e re even mo re thrilling than those of La Boheme:
" R enders is no success for the Grazer Theatre-she is a sensation!
" Henders stood dramatically and vocally in the foreground. Loveliness and tenderness and a so ul ful cultivated being are united with a bell - like voice
-a full organ that weaves from the stronges t dramatic: to the finest piano. o
"An entirely wonderful Butterfly to be compared to an angel out of the other world was Ren ders Her sweet s inging, her stirring, simp le acting freed deepest emo tion ."
Mu,sica l America of December 10, 1931, says of her operatic work : urn Madame Butterfly, the title role was su ng by Harriet a young American soprano, who has made a striking success in th e la st two seasons here after a career a s choir singer in California und er her famity name of Harriet Henderson. Mi ss Henderson appeared in nineteen performances of six operas during the first nine weeks of th e season
Tannlliius er, newly restudied, aga in brought a triumph for M i ss Renders, who presented a lov e ly p i cture of innocent youth and sang stirringly as Elisabeth.
A new casting of Faust (or Margarete, as it is known here) brought fonvard Miss Henders in the leading feminine role, which she took over at the last moment and demonstrated that her quick ri se to stardom with the company was well deserved .
The February
Carnie" was g iven with Mme. Tre sco in the ti tIe role, Miss Rend ers as Micaela, W un sc he as Don Jo s e, and Balaban as Escamillo.
An additional honor which has rece ntly come to Harriet Anne is the bestowal of the leading role in a very new opera, The Heart, by Pfitzner. The first performance is to be in Munich, and is eagerly awaited by all Europe. The second performance on the continent and the first in Austria i s to be at Graz, with Henders singing the le ading rote. Representatives from Vienna, Paris, and Milan are to be present, and it will be an important and exciting affair
Already offers for next season have come to Harri et Henders, the outstanding one being from Hamburg , Germany. The Intendent of the Vienna Opera has demanded the first audition when she i s ready to leave Graz. Graz has offered to redouble her salary if she will sign for a second seaso n and to grant her a leave of absence for a summer's trip home."
Harriet Anne is the daughter o f Effie Busselle Carver, of South Pasadena, California, who is also a Pi Phi , Iowa B , '94.

I T WAS late on a brisk November day when I made my first visit to the Pi Beta Phi Settlement School at Gatlinburg, Tennessee. Since one privilege of editing a woman's fraternity magazine is receiving the publications of other fraternities, the name 0 f t he little stream we crossed b r o u ght to m in d t h e "News from L ittle P igeon" section in THE ARROW through which, as well as by attendance at the open meeting of the 1923 Estes Park Convention, I had become acquainted with II B cI>'s sp l endid piece of philanthr
This visit had an added significance. though, for I had just come from Z T A's Hea lt h Cente r in Virg in ia, where I had explored the mountain trails with our nurse, visited many homes. learned conditions, and grasped the extent of the vast work ahead. Comparing those conditions with the visibly improved community which I no w saw in Gatlinburg, I realized the incalculable good that had been accomplished there.
Since I arrived too late for school, I had to content myself with the Ar-
row Craft Shop, but certainly that was no hardship. Indeed, it was a temptation from a financial standpoint, and I could have spent hours browsing there. It took only a br ief examination for me to realize the interesting contribution which the handicrafts, with their lovely native and Early American mati fs, are making to the art of the country. Then, °too, the products showed that the people could make almos t anything in their field of work.
But what of the days when the Pi Phi school was not there, when health problems went uncared for, and when handicrafts were carried on by just a handful of old-timers w.ho worked only now and then? The lahor and time required to teach and revive the skilled art of native craft work. to perfect it, to create a market for it. and to bring it to the point where it now furnishes a living to scores of people in the district. can be computed only by the n B «I> pioneers in the work.
Certainly IT B has given to this community a much needed major industry. The mountain people lacked nothing so badly as a knowledge of how to help them scI ves; and in helping them to this knowledge the fraternity has shown true philanthropy.

boxes that came the last minute made possible prc!!cnts not only for the high school pupils but for the SugarJands children too, who received them this year for the first time The alumna! give toys and money. and :Mr. Farley of Chicago has given two hundred and fifty pounds of candy for several years.
The decorations were as lovely as the mountains from which they ca m e. The natural arrangc m e n t or th e h o ll y and dogwood bcrries, of the m istl e t oe and galax leaves showed the students how to use what the Lord has given them.
The high school boys and girls sang mountain ballads and Christmas carols. They put their whole soul into their singing, voicing the (:nthusiasm of primitive singers. Their harmony was perfecL, and I felt as I listened the thrill that comes from being near simple, unspoiled people. The children in the first six grades gave a cantata, each participant representing a character doll. All the costumes for these were made at very little cost by the older girls of the domestic science class.

Hand LOODl and Fly Shuttle Weaving
BII LA DELLE ALLEN
T HERE are three distinct types of weaving: hand 100m, fly shuttle, and power loom, each differing as much as paintings, tinted photographs, and their printed reproductions. There is no basis for comparison of hand 100m and fly shuttle weaving, although they are often confused. Hand weaving is one of the oldest handicrafts, although methods used today differ somewhat from those of antiquity. Hand looms used by Gatlinburg women are ordinarily made of native pine or oak by some member of the family. In handweaving it is the skill of the weaver and the beauty of the design that make each article an expression of art into which the weaver has injected her very own perso nality. Materials and pattern are supplied by Arrow Craft, but the actual weaving is done by the women. Standardization in weaving tends to give an inferior product. Hand weaving has to be done by the individual artist; there can be no mass production.
Fly shuttle weaving is semi -mec b an-
icat. It is done on a hand loom with a mechanical device to throw the shuttle and regulate the beat. It is an interesting process which enables one to weave ten times as rapidly as on a hand 100m. Mass production plays a large part in fly shuttle weaving and should tend to lower prices which are now so neady equal to those for hand woven goods that people who do not know are liable to confuse the two different products. There is a perfection in fly shuttle weaving which one cannot duplicate in hand weaving. Yet who wants the tinted photograph jf he can have the lovely painting? There is a lack of feeling in fly shuttle weaving, that indefinable something ca1led art, which can be produced only by the real artist and craftsman. There is a difference in the two kinds of weaving which one with an appreciation of art and a discriminating taste recognizes.
Hand weaving is one of the highest types of handicrafts, in which art plays an important part, and as such one would expect to pay for it.

PANHELLENIC headquarters in the District of Columbia during this bi-centennial year will he the Willard Hotel , widely known (or it s courtesy and splendid se rvice . Here a complete file of all national fraternity women now residing in Washington will he kept for the in formation 0 f visitors. The Wa shington Alumnre Club conceived the idea of having an alumna! Panhell enic council in the District, and held a luncheon at which Cloyd Hec k Marvin, president of George Washington University. and a member of the hi-centennial commission, was appropriately guest spea ker. One representative from each national woman's alurnnce organization in Washington was in vited by Myrna Sedgwick, Nebraska B, in charge of this large undertaking. All but two of the fraternities in Washington were repre se nted at the luncheon, from which has grown a spirited group anxious to make this a permanent organization. Committees were appointed
and plans made to es tabli sh in \"'a shington during the bi-centennia l year Panhellenic headquarters. Mrs. A. W . Nesbitt, president of the Washington Club, has worked untiringly for this project.
On Janu a ry 8, this group, representing twenty-two national fraternitie s, met for the second time in a body and a constitution was drawn up to be submitted for the approval of N.P.C. The committees are working diligently and great plans are under way.
The luncheon on January 23 was held at the Mayflower Hotel. Every Greek-letter woman in Washington received an invitation to this affair, and preparations were made to accommodate over a thousand guests.
Mrs. Wil so n Compton was eJected the Pi Phi representative in the event this should become a permanent organization.

I T IS gratifying to come to the conclusion that Pi Phis are unusually well mated. In the November ARROW we noted a contribution to literature which was the joint achievement of an Indiana A and her husband.
This month we call your attention to a happy pair of vacationists, a Pi Phi coupte who not Qt1ly enjoyed their play themselves, but pass this pleasure on for others to share. Mercedes Baker Jorgutesta, Massachusetts .A, refers to th eir jolly adventures as follows:
"Entitled Portugal for Two, a handso me volume (354 pages, eighty illustrations and three maps) just issued by Dodd Mead and Company. recounts in breezy style the experiences of Ruth Dexter MacMillan, Nebraska B, now Mrs. Lawton Mackall, and her authorlecturer husband in exploring the 'Sunset comer of Europe,' a country wh ich few Americans have ever visited.
'7he Mackalls co nfess that they had misgivings about invading a land where nobody goes, but went nevertheless t o see what Portugal was really like, and f ound it utterly enchanting; a sort of Old World California, but with magnificent blue rivers, such as the famed Tagus of the Golden "Sands; romantic castles of the Middle Ages; superb Gothic abbeys that rank among the great architectural monuments of the world; Moorish palaces glamorous with colored tiles; the crag-pe rched paradise which Byron extols as 'Cintra's glorious Eden'; princely estates, with the most luxuriant gardens in Europe; a delightful Riviera with smart hotels and a Casino; cool forests and sunny beaches; Coimbra, the Portuguese Oxford where the students wear Dant e-esque cloaks with hoods, and tinkJe guitar serenades; the gorgeously situated metropolis of Lisbon, western-

"Knowing hardly a word of the language, and never knowing what remarkable thing to expect next. the adventurers were constantly getting into amusing complications, which are humorously related; they are frank in admitting th at the joke was mostly Ion them.' All in all, it is a rollicking recital. enhanced for the reader by a generous selection of the pictures which Mr. Mackall uses in his lectures on Portugal under the auspices of the Pond Bureau-some of these photographs gra fl exed by the lather person' of the traveling twosome."
Your editor has read Portugal/or Two and found it quite different from the usual travel story. As its name implies, the book is an intimate account o f personal expe ri ences, and the author's constant, half -humorous, affectionate references to A Senllora, as he calls Mrs Mackall, cause her presence to pervade all its pages.
Mr. Mackall's knowledge of geog raphy, history, and architecture, as well as his familiarity with other lands, by f orming a rich background for the embroidering o f his tale. add greatly to its charm .

whom he was about to marry, in order to follow the star-his vision of service to humanity. The girl goes her way alone, but in the course of time, when all her dreams of material success arc about to be realized, she is faced a second time with a choice: shall she reach out and seize what is almost within her grasp, or shall she forego all, and following the man she loves, help him to give to life what it demands of him?
The young laboratory research worker and the girl he loves are very real characters in a delightful story that is freshly and charmingly told We hope it will not be Jong before we have more from the pen of Mary Badger Wilson
In the realm of periodical literature Pi Phis have not been idle, as their articles and stories appearing in wen known magazines bear witness
In Good Housekeepi"g for December we find Tlte Red Glass Bowl by Margaret Weymouth Jackson, Michigan A The true spirit of Christmas prompted the five little poverty stricken Andersons t o surmount tremendous obstacles in o rder to ob tain for their widowed m othe r wh om th ey adored, the l ove li est gift they could imagine--a bowl, r ed garnet in color, all covered over with curlicues.
Another story by Mrs. Jackson in the SaJurday Evening Post of November 17, Cash a'Jd Carry, as may he inferred from the title, deals with the budding career of a young man working in a chain store. The callow youth, whom the amused t own good naturedly tolerated, proved to be capable of the deepest sentiment and the loftiest chivalry. Incidentally, he", realized his ambitions, but not in just the manner he had ant icipated.
In the Ladies' Horne Journal beginning with the December issue is a serial which promises to run to novel lengthFirst Fiddle a l so by Margaret Jackson
The opening scene, laid at the State University on commencement night, recalls the moon-drenched campus of our own June graduation night. Under the spell of it all, the lovers plight their troth. The girl, a freshman, leaves colle ge to become the young graduate's war bride, and soon faces lif e's stern realities.
When the husband returns with ;llmost the last contingent from overseas, he finds a wife wh o is all but a total stranger.

At school Mildred was an enthusiastic Pi Phi. an excellent student, and a channing companion to her many friends. A her college she was interested in church work, the St. Louis Alumn", Club of Pi Phi, D.A.R., and other social activities. To whatever group she joined she made a lovable addition because of her unusua l vivacity, happy disposition, interesting personality and rare beauty. During the last years of her l ife her home and baby, Lucy Horten se, were the objects of her devotion. She took the keenes t delight in her garden, read and studied much about flowers, landscape gardening, and eYerything that pertained to the beauti ful in nature. Her home, which she designed and planned herself, was a treasure house of colorful and artistic furnishings. She de l ighted in entertaining her many friends. Her keen sense of humor and sparkling wi t made her a perfect hostess.
Underneath her gay manner were hidden deep thoughts and spirit u al ideals concerning life. As Bishop M cMurray said at Mildred's funera l , "The pas sing of t h is lovely young woman leaves an aching void not on ly for her dear parcnts and other loved OI1{'S, but also for the wide c ircle o f

friends and acquaintances whom her Ii fe to u ched."
Our deepest sympathy is extended to her parents, Dr. and Mrs. Alfred F. Smith and her baby daughter, Lucy Horte n se.

Starting in her freshman year Genevieve was identified with many activities of the university and took a leading part in college affairs throughout her entire cour se.

She was a devoted wi fe and mother, giving up many socia l contacts that she might devote her entire time to her horne. The s udd e n call of one so · engrossed in the duties of motherhood is difficult to understand. Her Ii fe within her sma ll family group was so comp l ete ly happy that it was a constant marvel to her friends. The picturesque setting of the sma ll Spanish adobe home in a young o r ange grove at the foot of HeirogJyphic M ou nt ai ns sou th of Phoenix see me d sy mbol ic of her own completely contented domestic life.

The attendance at regular monthly meetings ha s been unusually large tbis year. Perhaps the fact that the club has several en· thu si a s ti c new members has helped the average in ascending, Three members a ct as ho st esscS for each luncheon. The business meeting foHow s and the re s t of the afternoon is spent playing bridge. Everyone has a good time and the new members are 1101 allowed to feel as if they are strangers.
At the Octobe r me eti ng adopted the plan of each penon present contributing twentyfive cents each month to go toward increasing our Settlement Schoo l Fund. Convention dele · gate, Adelaide Robert s on, brought us a very in· teresting account of Convention.
In Dtcember we always have a Chris tmas party instead of the regular meeting. This year it was a delightful evening bridge at the home of Alice Savage The guests of the evening, th e husbands, seem to enjoy Pi Phi parties al ."o.

CoNNECTICUT ALUMN..-E CLUB
Connecticut Alumnz Club is feeling proud this year, for to date it bas 27 paid members, which exceeds the membership of former years. It is also very happy to be tbe first club in the province to send in a contribution to the Settlement School; tbus far it has sent in $90. This has been rai sed by individual gifu, the profits from selling Christmas cards, and the profits of Settlement School products.
Because of the distance between Hartford and New Hav e n it is !IOmewhat difficult for Ihe Iwo groups to work together on a benefit, and a s a resull Ihe New Haven g r oup is working on a project to raise fund s for the Endowment Fund and the Hartford group will concentrate from now on on the Settlement School.
At Christmas time tbe club has a meeting that undoubledly is considered the best meet-
ing of the year, except, of course, our in s pirational Founders' Day meeting. At tbis time we two groups meet, in Hartford and in New Haven, and each group Ilacks a box for the Settlement School. Some of the members save "white elephants" during the year for this purpose and useful gifts as well a s toys are collected. Each gift is wrapped separately, marked and tied with a cheery Christmas card. This year over two hundred gifts were sent to Little Pigeon.
At the January meeting of the club the maga_ zine chairman reported that $12 5 worth of lubsc ription s had been sent in through her. This meeting wa s devoted to the nearest active chapters, Vermont A, Vermont B, and Ma s sa c hu se tts A, from which lellers wer e r ead. Mabel ScOIi Brown, An o w Editor, and Beatrice St e phtnson, new Director of the Central Office, were presen t at tbe m ee ting and told u s of th e plans 10 move the Centra l Office to lJIinois, a s well as other int eresting bits of Pi Phi news.
Floye Lewis Giffin, Colorado A, a member of th e club, whose book of poems is just off the press, has offered to give all profit from every volume ordered from the publisher, and designated, "For n B 4>," to the Settlement School. Orders should be sent for "Beggar of Beauty," hy Sundar Giffin, Roerich Museum Press, New York City.
