LIFE ON THE FRONTIER OF THE WORLD 471
ON THE FRONTIER OF THE WORLD
By MILDRED BROWN PEARCE, Illinois A
At the tip end of Kotzebue Sound, looking out across the Arctic Ocean, lies the little mining town of Candle, Alaska. Here I have been spending some of the winters, and most of the summers, for the last ten years, on the very frontier of the world, as in the six hundred miles north to Point Parrow there are not twenty white people.
It is a little camp, wintering about eighty people, for the greater part men who in the summer work either for the dredging or hydraulic companies , but I have found life there intensely interesting. The men are keen of intellect, though most of them are uneducated, and I found that my college training had left many gaps, when for fifteen hours a day, during the winter, I talked with men who read and studied every article within the covers of such magazines as the Literary Digest" World's Work" Scientific American .. and the Mining and Engineering World, and to whom the Encyclopa"dia Britannica was more interesting than any book of fiction.
We were five, the Doctor, "Slim/' our representative in the Alaska Legislature, the Judge, and the Pearces. Having an English husband , I always served tea, and the men would drop in about three o'clock in the afternoon, if there was nothing else to do, and there never was any thing up there. By the time to get dinner, we were in the midst of something interesting, and so everyone would stay and help get the meal, which we had at seven, and we would sit at the table, ,till talking , until one or two in the morning. About that time some one would feel that were the matter to be properly decided, there was need of more food, the dishes would be stacked away in the kitchen, another meal prepared, and we would talk on until seven or eight in the morning, when the Judge always insisted on bacon and eggs. Luckily about the time breakfast was over my Esquimo boy of all work would come to wash the dishes, and the Pearce; could sleep until three in the afternoon and time to begin again.
If I tired of discussions there was always the out of doors with iu wonders, the Aurora wheeling across the winter sky, now blue, now green, and again pink; the moon shining in all its brilliance at half past one or two in the winter afternoons, so bright it seems to try and take the place of the sun, now no longer visible; the wonder of the sun as it sets at ten or eleven o'clock at night, across the Arctic

Ocean, to rise again an hour or two later j and most beautiful of all the 1Iaming midnight sun which never sets.
So much has been written about the winters in the North, the blizzards and the sunless days, that few people reali ze that there is another season, the summer, and there are no more beautif ul summers any pl ace in the world than in Alaska. It begins about the middle of April, for although there is still plenty of snow, and e ven now and then a storm, there are eighteen hOUTS of daylight and real warmth in the sun. Then it is that I lo ve to hitch up the dogs and "mush" the four mil es up the creek to the dredge camp, where the men are beginning to get thin gs ready for the summer's work. The sun is hot on my back, I throw my fur parka on the sled, the snow parked by the winter wind, is slllooth as a boulevard, I shou t to my dogs, HMush on, mush on your resting days are nearly here, summer is coming," and as I jump on the handle bars for a littl e r est [ say to mys e lf, motoring at fifty mil es All hour was never half as much fun as dog mushing at six.
Rapidly the days grow longe r, gradually the snow disappears, soon one can travel only at night, when ove r the melting snow a crust freezes that will hold up the dogs, and then one day the latter part of May, after days of watching, and days of wagering "when" the cry goes up , the ice is going out. You stop the thing you are doing, no matter what it is , the family washing, or watching a cake just carefully put into the oven, grab the nearest coatI and rush to the river bank. Out moves the ice, now rapidly , now slowly, while the entire community w atches breathlessly, wondering if it will pass Qut peace fully , or if the anchor ice will ground o n the sand bars, backing up the water and fl oodi ng the camp for days. If it goes out at onCe the run takes from four to six hours, and once it is over, officially summer has come. Summer with its twenty-four hours of things g row over night, summer with its mosquitoes, summer with its hope of a fat poke of gold dust in the fall.
A week after the ice goes out, the tundra is green. Seward P eninsula is rolling like the prairies of the middle west, with practica lly no trees, only a few scraggly spruce in the interior and the ground is called Utundra." From a distance it would seem as easy to walk over the tundra as over the prairies, but once you attempt it, you discover the diff erence. It is made up of "niggerheads" bunches of. ,ld grass varying in size from a small cabbage to a very large one,
LIFE ON THE FRONTIER OF THE WORLD 473
each set on a sort of neck, or stem. The only thing that I can think of out bere tbat would resemble walking oYer the tundra, would be to try and walk through a cabbage patch stepping on the tops of tbe heads, which would probably wiggle and throw you down, and you would sink up to your knees in waler and muck.
So it is better to keep to the few roads and the river, for in a couple of weeks the river banks are covered with wild roses , and along the roads you lind blue bells, forget-me-nots, buttercups, yellow and white, lupin, and even the Texas bluebonnets, or something that very closely resembles them. The days slip by until late June, days and nights of equal glory, and then one morning the advance guard of the mosquitoes arrive, and in a few days more they are there by tht millions, or as one Old Timer expresses it, (IGod would have had to make them smaller, if He had wanted to get any more into the country ." I have heard them hum around my cabin on the creek like a swarm of bees, and the air is black with them. Perhaps some or you do not know that mosquito larvle will not freeze, even at sixty-five below, and the spongy tundra, and old prospect holes, afford fine breeding places. Then it is that I don overalls, knee high hoots, flannel shirt and canvass coat, the mosquitoes bite through everything but canvas, hence the coat, and thus attired I defy all comers.
There is one day we always celebrate, mosquitoes or no, and that is the summer solstice. Our usual program consists of a picture show first, then everyone goes down the river in launches for a picnic sup.-per, from which we return to dance until morning, ending with what in college we used to call IIdawn breakfasts," only we have no dawn. At this time of the year the sun seems to go around the horizon and at midnight it is just above the Arctic Ocean, shining as brightly as it does at twelve o'clock noon. Often the ice has not yet gone out of Kotzebue Sound, though the rivers have been broken for a month, and as the sun's rays touch the edges of the ice pack, it turns it into a sheet of flame. Our days are twenty-four hours long from the middle of May until the middle of August, growing dark so gradually, that I never fail to be surprised the first time I have to have a light about ten in the evening.
With the coming of the darkness, comes the first frost, and that drives away every mosquito. It also ripens the blueberries and the salmon berries. The tundra is blue with the blueberries-I have seen the wheels of the wagons coming into camp, crimson with the
THE ARROW OF PI BETA PHI
JUIce. Less numerous, but equally delicious, are the salmon berries, a berry about the size of the loganberry, but with the coloring of the crabapple, yellow and pinkish red, and the cranberries, a little bright scarlet berry, growing close down to the ground, which we gather in great quantities and freeze for eating in the winter.
Slowly the tundra grows brown and the sun sets across it golden, while in the valleys lie purple shadows. There is a crispness in the air, the water begins to freeze at night, and we talk of forgotten things like clothes, theaters, and taxicabs. Slowly the ice gathers around the dredge, and we wonder shall we get through tonight, or will it be the close-down. The nights are dark, and the little cabin up the creek cold in the far corners. Then, probably in the middle of the night, there comes a knock at the door. It is the roustwout from the boat calling my husband. "Boat's frozen in sir, men getting ready to start cleaning up." "Right down," answers my man, making a hasty grab for his clothes, and as I turn over in the warm bed for another nap, I smile to myself as I whisper, IISummer'g over, and now for the outside."
HOME-MAKING ON THE ISTHMUS OF PANAMA
By ORA STRADER HEARNE, Colorado B
The day the Gamboa dyke was blown up, October 10, 1913, thus uniting the Atlantic and P acific Oceans, I landed on the Isthmus of Panama and since then Colon-at the Atlantic end of the Isthmus, has been my home. I am going to answer some of the questions most frequently asked me during my visits home thlnking I can in that way best interest the readers of THE ARF.ow.
Almost invariably the first question "Isn't it terribly hot down there?" I answer by saying "No, not terribly hot." Although we are but 9° north of the equator the temperature rarely ever goes above 90 0 in the shade, and the average temperature the year around is from 85° to 88°. At no time during the eight years I have lived there, have I found it insufferably hot as it often is in my native state--Iowa.
There is no winter I ! We have but two seasons-the wet and the dry . The wet season is about eight months long-beginning around
May first and lasting to some time in December; the dry period, of course, lasts through the remaining four months. During the dry season there is very little rain; but there is a strong wind blowing almost constantly from the sea; this is the utrade wind," we learned of, as children, in our geographies.
As to the rain in the wet season-many people are of the opinion that it rains every day. Though it may do so for a period of several days, such is not the case throughout the season, by any means. Our rains are seldom the drizzHng kind; they usually come in showers or most often torrents. Soon, however, the sun comes out bright and clear, the water sinks into the loose soil or runs off into the sea and we almost forget it rained that day. In spite of mu ch rain, no one wears Tubbers, and very seldom raincoats. I have never seen rubbers for sale in any of the stores. There 3re two reasons for this, rubber does not last long in the tropics, and then, extra footwear is too warm. Anyway, it is not necessary for jitnies will carry you a considerable distance for ten cents.
After the weather question is settled-the next one that usually arises in the minds of those interested in this tropical land. is regard· ing the sanitary conditions. I reply that they are as good, if not better than in any other place in the world I Thanks and all honor to that grand old man Geoeral Gorgas, whose death last July in London where he had stopped en Toute to A fric:4 is now mourned the world over, but at no place as on the Isthmus. The people loved and revered him greatly. How often I have heard my husband, who is in the health department, say that he has never known a man who was SO uniformly polite; he was very kind and gracious to every one! In the spring of 1919 General and Mrs. Gorgas stopped off on the Isthmus a few days while en route to Ecuador, where he was going in the interest of the Rockefeller Foundation. Though they were in Colon but a few hours, the members of the Health Department and many in other departments, eSp'ecially "old timers" who had lived there during his regime, hurriedly organized an informal reception at the Hotel Washington in their honor. They could not let them pass through without giving them some sort of a public greeting. It was a pleasant affair and the happy, jocular speeches, recounting tales of the early days made by General Gorgas and others are a happy memory. It is generally conceded everywhere, that but for General Gorgas and his loyal and efficieot associates, the Canal could never have been
built. It was l a r gely due to the rav ages of yellow f ever, that the French undertaking was a failure, hence it was first necessary to banish this terrible disease by eliminating the mosquito which had been found to be its deadly carri e r; so from the beg in ning, that was the chief aim and work of the H ealth Department. There is only one species of mosquito that will carry yellow fever-the IIstygemia," and only the female at that I-which proves in o ne instance, at least, Kipling's statement, "the felIl3.1 e of the species is more deadly than the male." The "anopholes" is the mosquito that carries malaria. Excepting for the annoyance that they cause, the other kinds are harmless. There has not been a case of yellow fever originating on the Isthmus for more tha n ten years; malaria still exists, but not to the extent that it once did
Peopl e of all colors and races dwell on the I sthmus for it is in rea lity the u cross roads" of the world! Of co urse, the natives (the Panamanians ) are all Spanish-speaking. Thei r r eal f eelin g and sentiments toward the United States is rather a question I On the surface, they appear to have hi gh. regard and admiration for ou r cou n t rybut it is said, at heart, they do not like our people. Socially, the Americans and Panamanians mingle 7: ery littl e. This is und oubtedl) due to the fa c t that the color line among the Panamanians is not decided, as it is among the Americans.
"In what kind of houses do you live ?" many inquire . We live in frame or cement houses entirely screened around piazzas and a t the windows. They are very comfortably furnjshed, largely with wicker or mission furniture and are provided by the employees free of ren t ; with electricity. water and fuel also supplied fr ee of charge. The fuel is ei ther kindling and coal, or fifteen gallons of kerosene per month. Most people use the co a l ranges, as the servants can them better.
Our servants come mostly fr om .the islands of Jamaica and Barbados. They are b lack and English·speaking, mu ch preferable to !.he Spanish ·speaking natives. Th e rate of pay for general housework ranges from twelve to twenty-five dollars per month, depending, of course, upon efficiency-but the average is perhaps fifteen dollars .
Our provisi<:ms come from the States and are sold at " th e Commissaries," the Government stores. H owever, we have the native markets where we buy pineapples, papaya, mangoes, alligator pears, bananas, oranges, etc.-and in the way of vegetables-yams, yam pee
HOME -MAK I NG ON THE ISTHMUS OF PANAMA 477
bread-fruit (all of which bear a close semblance to potatoes and are used in the same way) . Of cou rse cocoanuts are used by American housewives in many ways.
All of the five American towns ha\Te heautiful, new cement school buildings, modern in every way; the teachers must all be college or normal g radu ates. The pupils are the children of the American employees. The child ren of the colored employees are also provided with good schools by the government; the native children have their own schools, in which Spanish is spoken entirely. In each town there is a Union Protestant ch ur ch-the memhers of which belong to the various denominations in the States. The Catholi<-s among the American 'employees have their own places of worship distinct from those of the Panamanians. The religion of I sthmus as of all South and Central America is Catholic.
The chie f out of door sport for young and old, is swimming. \Ve have open air, cement, swimming pools, in and out of which flows running sea water j there are also several good beaches. The men are g reatly interest ed in baseball; and there nre many exciting games played between the teams from the Army posts- or the teams of the Army and civilians . Tennis and horse back riding are other favorite sports.
In a social way, there are cards and dancing clubs; literary -philanthropic, and musical clubs. The Cristobal vVoman's club, organized in 1907 now has a membership of ninety or more and occupies a large and unique place among the women at the Atlantic end of the hthnlus. It has splendid literary programs and also does a great deal of philanthropic work among the poor, of the city of Colon. The Ancon musical club is the most flourish ing of its kind on the Isthinus. "Have you ever been through the Canal?" I am always asked. Yes, on a mine-planter. The time required to make the passage may be ten hours, but in case there are no other boats waiting to be taken through the locks at the same time the trip can be made in six hoUrs. Except for the novelty and experience of going through the canal-it is much easier to cross the Isthmus by train-which takes only one hour and fifty minutes.
There are three sets of locks in the Canal-a set of th ree pairs at Gatum-two pairs at Pedro Miguel, and one pair at MiraAores. I had the privilege of traveling on the first boat that went through the Gatum locks after the water was turned in, early in 1914. ,
Colon, our home, is (,ave for the beach) the most desirable residential section, lea ied by American Government from Panama for its ployees. It i!'i a Panamanian town and is under their control in everything excepting sanitation. The American Government has entire supervision of that work throughout the repu blic. The American tow n adjoining Colon, Cristobal, is tl::.e post office address of all employees at the Atlantic end. Cristobal and Colon are the Spanish words for Christopher Columbus.
At the Pacific end, is Panama City (native) with a . population of 65,000. The American towns adjo ining it, are Ancon and Balb oa . I have heard many people, who have travelled extensively, say, that they' have never visited a more beautiful and up ·to-date city in the southern land than Balboa. The Administration Building is in Balboa and it is here that the Crl>vernor and other officials live. Before each town had its new school building, the pupils of high school age at the Atlantic end-had to go by train across the Isthmus (49 miles) every morning to Dalboa and they used to say that they had to cross the continent every day to secure an education.
At this writing there are six Pi Phis on the Isthmus, Ihey are Leah Zook Wilson, Maryland A; M ae Cheek P arsons, Iow a B; Jessie Morse, Illinois Z; Edna Healy Howard , Minne'iota A j Grace Shrader, my sister, Iowa A, and myself. Several years ago there were others, but they have returned to the States. Once we had a little parly at my home and it was so pleasant to get together and recount Pi Phi experiences of college days. We wish that we might more often have such little re-unions, but because we are, for the most part, scattered in the different towns, it is rather a difficult thing to do.
If any Pi Phi sister is contemplating a visit to our land, I can assure her lhat she will find it a most interesting and profitable experience. Any girl who conducts herself in a womanly manner need have no fear of encountering unpleasant circwnstances; she may go any place with perfect ease and freedom. If she comes as a visitor she will doubtless wish to stop at the American hotels, the H o tel Washinglon at the Atlantic end, and the Tivoli at the Pacifi c. In case she comes as an employee, as teacher, nurse, stenographer, etc., she will he mel at the boat by a representative of the Quartermaslers department and sent to her destination. \Ve extend a warm. invitation to those who may come, to call upon us for any service that we may he able to render. We need more college girls in this our land of eternal ,ummer and we would welcome you most heartily.
CHIN A IN RETROSPECT
By GENEvIEve LOWRY, Nebraska B, '16
The opportunity to share, at least in part, some of my experiences and impressio.. during the past three years with fraternity sisters throughout the United States, has an irresistible appeal. Since my return to the States in July, I have been struck by two things, first: the restlessness, the undefined gropings of the majority of women and girls for a greater and Inore vital self-exprossion; second: the lack of realization that whether we will acknowledge it or not, American citizens are and will increasingly come to be part of the Intemalionat process. To me at least, this last, is one if not the mObt important reason why far lands and alien peoples and world prohlem. appeal to the average American as never before. For four years he has rubbed elbows and cooperated with people outside the horders of his own land. Now he is unwilling to retire to the secluded, provincial life lived prior to 1917. As I read this over, it seems a very heavy paragraph. Yet I want to give some idea of the reasons that make an opportunity like this welcome-sharing China with you all as one part in the great world development in which we as thinking women must participate.
Almost without exception as I have spoken in different cities to various groups, I have fouod their questions grouped under the following heads: "What are the Chinese like?" uHcw do they feel toward America?" flAre you going back? Why?" Now one who states an opinion of China and things Chinese 'runs a great danger. The country is not unified like our own by a common language nor by quick means of communications. What may be true of one part will be entirely false of another. Then too as is always the cas. with impressions, great variations are found depending on why the writer has gone to China, what his work is, how long he has stayed, how widely he has traveled and kept in touch with what the other parts' of the country are doing and most important the terms of friendliness and equality with which he meets the people. A person who has never lived anywhere except in a port city in as Americanized fashion as possible, who has never met a Chinese except in a strictly business way, who has acquaintance among one class and real friends among none will have a very different story from mine. So also will the visitor who without any background, with no knowledge of the
THE ARROW OF PI BETA PHI
language travels rapidly from one end of the great co untry t o the other. .
One's first impression of the Chinese and things Chinese is a hodgepodge with the repellant predominating The first glimpse of Shanghai, the port with its harbor teeming with life, great steamers going and coming, factory chimnies belching out their smoke j the BUDd along the river fr ont with its parks, splendid buildings, trams, motors, wheelbarrows, sheik. policemen with huge brightly colored head aresses, people of all nationalities wiMi all manner of dress, a hable of tongues, queer signs, tantalizing windows, hideous beggars, the frank stare from millions of unblinking black eyes-this first glimpse is unique among all human experience. At the end of the first day or perhaps not until the second day comes the struggle with the native currency where one dollar changes to eleven dimes and a few odd coppe r s, the amount changing from day to day. The dirty, the unsanitary living conditions in the native portions of the city, the inhwnan specim ens of humanity one sees, the continuous sight of the coolies, makes Qne say again and again and yet again , is this China? Where is the thrill of the East? How can one ever do anything here?
Fortunately those of us who are making China th e scene of our life work have more leisure to make adjustments . Older sympathetic friends take us about, explain this and that and best of all introduce us to some splendid Chinese who can speak English. Gradually we come to a little better understanding of what it all means . However, one never really knows why somethings should be. The points that have been so stressed in the States such as hound feet, child marriages, the lack of love for daughters, the dirt, etc., are what strike us first. N ow I wonder why it is that for countless years China and these things were synonymous. There is so much that is attractive, praiseworthy, loveable about this land that surely not merely the detrimental phases should be stressed.
There is of course always present the charm that the Orient holds for th e adventurous heart but th is alone without having the privilege of some Chinese friends would not be sufficient. First of all, the Chinese woman and girl is eager for encouragement and assistance in using her new freedom to the greatest advantage. The problems of the Chinese woman are the same in kind that I find among the woman of Ameri ca. If we can but once fix upon our minds this great fact half of tbe difficulties of ao international mind will be solved. After
all the great primary experiences of life are the same the w orld over. Birth, marriage, life work, responsibility, service, religion and death have certain great fundamentals that are common to all peoples. When one onte discovers this fact the Chinese become human and we gradually come to think of them without putting up a dividing bar of color. The keen, alert analytical Chinese mind readi ly puts two and two together though his Oriental sense of politeness may keep th e American from ever knowing that he has been tried and found wanting. I have spent some grilling hours at the hands o f Chinese friends who frankly questioned the value of Christianity if AmE:rican political life, our double standard of morality, o ur lax divorce laws , our treatment of immigrant." the slums of g reat cities, the crime statistics of our cities, the prevalent moral tone of ou r papers, the spirit of materia1ism and so on and o n , a re the produ c ts of Christian civilization. Merely stating that our \Vestern civilization is not truly Christian is not sufficient. I m erely cite this to show that the thinking Chinese is not going to accept any and everything American just because it originates within the borders of the United States. This is a seve re jolt to our national pride but it is never the less true. I alw ays smile when th e inevitable question comes, are you going back? I have tried again and again to formulate my reasons in a satisfactory way but never succeeded. There are elements in the going hack that defy reduction to black and white. Vet there are some that can be so reduced. What the countries of the world including China need of America is not hard cold cash as such, though that is necessary, but assistance in developing citizenship, a sense of responsihility on the part of the citizen and the creation of the idea of service. America does not have all these things perfectly developed in her own national life and yet she has gone perhaps farther than other countries along these lines. Help of other peoples does not alone imply a giving of American strength but it has the added implication of getting many worth while things fr om other and older civilizations. There is not a person working with the Chinese today who doesn't feel that he has gained more than he has given. Anyone going to work among the Chinese must go with her eyes open to some of the drawbacks such as limited social life, according to our ideas. the loneliness that mere miles always brings, the possibility that close associates may prove uncongenial, discouragement that attends working in a foreign tongue 3mong people whose background is different
and the doubt whether or not you are able to do what you know must be done. Clontrasted to this is the feeling that your experience is helping in some little measure to make conditions easier, that you are wanted.
I always have a thrill when I attend a Y. W . C. A. board meeting and see how capable Chlnese women are in shaping their policies and "further more, in putting them into execution. Better baby weeks, baby welfare movements, social service institutes, day schools, schools for mothers and their children, anti·opium, anti-vice, anti-foot binding and other similar societies, social clubs where men and women can enjoy friendship, current event classes, various philanthropic organizations, self-supporting churches, the Yunnan Home Missionary Society financed and staffed by Chinese, and countl ess other significant facts show that Chinese men and women are alive and are progressing. Today there are over ninety foreign secretaries of the Y . W. C. A. in China comprising representatives from eight nationalities . This doesn't count the Chinese secretaries who carry so much of the responsibility of the various centers. Fift een years ago there were the beginnings of one organized association. Today there are nine centers, three pre -organization centers and countless cities waiting for the coming of more foreign secretaries with experience to help the Chinese orgaoize their work .
The work of an Association in China has the same four-fold program as here in America. The actual machinery there is much the same as here. Added to all the possible fascinations of Association work in America are these attractions, pioneer work among women just getting their first taste of freedom in our sense of the word , helping create a worth-while institution whose idea of service appeals so strongly to the woman of new China; contributing what is w o rthy of A.merican ideals to be worked into the daily life of so great a nation and so splendid a people. In short by what ever means possible helping the Chinese woman and girl have the large vital self expression that we American women are seeking.
SOME PRACTICAL HINTS FOR THE TRAVELER AFAR
By ANNE PALMER-BURGESS, OM. r
Wooster College in Ohio is a place where the missionary spirit i. strongly felt and where numerous people who have traveled far afield in missionary and educational interests center for vacation months. Douhtless this atmosphere h'ad its influence upon me. At any rate, I found myself, six months after graduation, setting sail for Rio de Janeiro, Brazil , in company with Dorothy Martin, now Mrs. Ormond, who was my bosom companion on this expedition.
From Rio we went inland to Curityba, Parana. There, in this cap ital city of one of Brazil's southern states, we spent three happy years on contract under the Presbyterian Board of Foreign Missions, tea ching in the American School , an institution for the extension of N o rth American educational m ethods in our great sister republic.
Brazil is begging for practical, every-day education. The students appealed to me greatly, as they were most desirous of securing instruction, and no greater outside stimulus is needed to draw out the very best work a college graduate can give. We taught various branches, music, drawing, and domestic arts, though we were officially known as instructors in English.
We found the best way to meet the situation was to begin at once a systematic study of the language-Portuguese. I give my strongest endorsement to the policy of learning the native language, wherever you may sojourn-be it China, Kamchatka, Brazil or Persia. No native respects a visitor who for many months stutters and stumbles over his llbeautiful language," or insists on asking a store-keeper for a fine, large kiss, instead of a fine, large cheese.
Several years later, in the process of preparing for my doctor's examinations I went to Spain, living in Madrid for one year. There Esther Bigger, Ohio B, and I taught in the International Institute for Girls in Spain. Our experiences were varied and exciting because our year included the closing months of the European War. Again language study was important, and the hospitality of Mme. de Vidal, the wife of the present Military Attache from Spain to the United States in Washington, with whom I exchanged lessons, gave me an insight into Spanish family life.
Afler language study, an attempt to understand the psychology of the people with whom one is living is of next importance. Their standards are not ours, and what is more, never will be. The saddest American s abroad I have ever seen were those who insisted on saying, "Oh, in America we do this very differently." People do not care to hear odious co mparisons between prices in America and their country, either, though bargaining until a fair price is agreed upon is often necessary in foreign countries.
Another matter of importance to those going abroad is the question of what equipment to take Usually people who have lived in the country where one is going are able and glad to give defini te information as to what special articles of apparel should be taken in larger quantities. Howev e r , ordinary common sense and good taste be relied upon. For instance, knowing that southern Brazil has a cold, rainy season and that the houses are unheated one would naturally conclude that it would be wise to take raincoat, American rubbers and plenty of woolen ga rments , even though one generally thinks of Brazil as a tropical land. The same theory applies to life in Madrid, whose winter is co ld and damp. One smiles at the misleading phrase "sunny Spain" when planning for wirlter m on ths in central Spain .
An intell ectually open mind for new language, customs, scenes, and racial psychology, a well-planned (not bulky) supply of clothes, whose choice, good sense and good taste have dictated, a generous share of social ease, mixed with a seasoning of patience (for foreign people move slowly sometimes ) -and a pervading, not crushingly obvious enthusiasm will carry one safely to and through foreign life and back again.
MARINE BIOLOGICAL LABORATORY
By HELEN INGRAHAM, Illinois d '18 Pi Beta Phi Fdlow ,
1920-1921
The Marine Biologi cal Laboratory is situated in the village of Woods Hole, Massachusetts, on the north shore of Vineyard Sound, at the entrance to Buzzard's Bay. It can claim to be a direct descendant of the first Marine Laboratory in America, the one established in 1873 by Louis Agassiz on Penikese Island out in Buzzard's Bay. This station was abandoned after its second session, due to its
MARINE BIOLOGICAL LABORATORY
unfortunate location on an isolated island, and, more, to the death of the man whose genius had made its founding possible. The old buildings there, with later additions, now house a leper colony.
After the closing of this institution, an attempt was made to secure cooperation of various educational centers in the establishment of a laboratory at Woods Hole, but the support could not be gained at this time. In 1888, following an attempt at establishment at Annisquam, Massachusetts, which existed for six years, a sum. of ten thousand dollars was collected, and with that meager financial backing, the Marine Biological Laboratory came into being. The factors which caused the founders to place it at Woods Hole have played a great part in the success of the station. No amount of money nor effort could have effected such results, had these things been lacking. The largest scientific station of the United States Bureau of Fisheries is located at Woods Hole and the two institutions cooperate in many ways-each influencing for good the development of the other. The waters of the Bay and Sound are exceptionally free from pollution since there are no fresh water streams to ca rry down debris, and no cities near to empty their filth into them. The coast at this region abounds in small harbors, rock-bot t omed lagoons, mud 8ats, and various sandy islands and promontories which serve as homes for widely varying auimals. The Gulf Stream is only a hundred miles away, and the tide currents which sweep in from it into the harbor and treacherous uhole" from which the town gets its name, bring hundreds of plants and animals of tropical hobitat, which are difficult to obtain in many northern laboratories. Besides these definite a.dvantages to the work carried on here, the delightful climate, excellent bathing, and wonderful woods and beaches combine to make life in Woods Hole very nearly ideal.
The buildings are not in the least pretentious. They consist of a four·story brick building containing offices, library, and r oo ms for the most delicate three two-story wooden laboratories, an old stone Supply House, a mess ·hall, several dwellings and a club house. If one were judging the greatness of the institution by its buildings, it would not be given the place in the educational world which it deserves---for it is and always has been, a great example of the fact that men, not equipment, make a true institution of learuing.

From the beginning, friends were anxious for the laboratory to be national in its scope, rather than under the control of any college, university, or section of the country; that all such institutions interested in the advancement of Biology should coOperate in its government and support. The current catalogue gives a list of lifty-two of our best colleges and universities that are subscribing and coOperating institutions. Some of the revenue upon whi ch the laboratory depends, comes from them . Other sources are student fees, rent of research rooms, sales of Supply Department, fees of corporation members, and other donations. The money from these sources rarely covers expenses and the deficit has been met by individuals and groups of people who are not willing to see the great work stop for want of funds . One of the most generous of such interested friends is Mr. Charles R. Crane who has an estate at Woods Hole. The property of the laboratory is vested in a corporation composed of professional biologists and business men. This body elects a board of trustees, who in turn elect the Directors and Staff.
Much of the credit for the success of the organization is due the Directors in control. Professor C. O. Whitman was the Director for the lirst twenty·one years of the existence of the laboratory. He worked with untiring energy for years without any material compensation, until he placed his laboatory on the basis he coveted for it-Unot a collecting station, not a summer school, nor scientific workshop, nor congress of Biology but al1 of these"-an institution representing both the teaching and research sides of the science and having the enthusiastic cooperation of the best scientific and educational centers of the country. To the present Director, Professor F. R. Lillie of the University of Chicago is due much credit for the advancement made in recent years.
There are five courses of instruction offered-ZOOlogy, ProtozOOlogy, Embryology, Physiology and Botany. A staff of men from various schools of the country who are noted for excellence along these particular lines, act as instructors-doing this work for a very small financial return-taking as remuneration the privilege of carrying on at the same time any problem in which they may be especially interested.
For these regular courses and the research work, material is collected daily. The Supply Department has a Curator, Captain and four other men who have charge of collecting zoological and botanical

material needed. They use a steam launch, various motOr and TOW boats, and an array of trawls, dredges and seines with which to capture the animals desired. Besides specimens needed for th e use of the laboratory, many are coBected and sold to inland schools. From this source, the laboratory derives a part of its revenue. Not all, however, of the rA.1.terial is brought to the classroom r eady for use. Some of the most delightful trips of the summer are class excursions taken on the Cayadella to Nashawena, Nobska Point, Cuttyhunk Beach, Tarpaulin Cove, Quisset, or some other nearby, fascinating place, where animals are found and studied in their habitat.
Besides the above-mentio n ed privileges and opportunities, there is one other-not at all a minor one. This is a course of general lectures lIpon Biological or other timely t opics given by professors of the Laboratory or distinguished visitors. These are usually given at night so that all who are otherwise occupied during the day, may attend. These lectures are annually co mpiled into a volume which is heartily wel comed by scientists the world over This book, together with the monthly Biological Bulletin whi c h is published under the auspices of this Laboratory with Professor I..·. R. Lillie as editor, has made multitudes of important contributions to scientific knowledge.
Every student of Bi ology who has had a summer at Woods Hole is al..most effusively enthusiastic about the delights and opportunities this IIMecca of American B iologists" affords.
THE P ANHELLENIC HOUSE AT AKRON, OHIO
By ELSA SCHMIDT CONNERS, Ohio r
The Aleron Panheltenic haa been oflanized fo ur years. Fourteen of the eighteen N. P C fratemitiu are included in it and the: scheme of a Panhellcnic HOUle was launched only two yean ago. The number of fraternity women in the houle is about ODe-fi fth of the total number of calltlC women in l"esidenee.-EorTOa.
Akron has made her reputation by doing the unusual and the unexpected, so it is not surprising that this city should be sponsor f or 'he project of a Panhellenic Home for College Women.
I n deciding upon this venture, the Akron PanheBenic Club was influenced the belief that of all the various classes of girls in Akron, the college woman, who is the usual high salaried young
PANHELLENIC HOUSE AT AKRON, OHIO 489
professional woman, had been most neglected in the provision of su.itable r ooming accommodations.
So the idea of a Panhellenie Home to provide for the college women of Akron, was born. Long a cherished dream, it finally became a beautiful reality thanks to the arduous labors of the Panhellenic Board. BY' every device known to women who want to achieve their goal, they sta rt ed their fund. Dances and card parties and movies all paid tribute to the yawning eoffers of the newly f ormed projec t. Then a company was organiz.ed and incorporatt'd for $10,000.
A large, comfortable and very attractive house in an excellent location is the home of the club. It is run on a dormitory plan, with a splendid dining-room service, a large reception hall, and a number of parlors where the girls may entertain their friends. Two nights a week the house is rese rved for the exclusive use of the girls--on all other nights it is open for guests.
The business management of the house is under the Board of Directors and a House Committee composed of one girl from each

• fraternity represen ted in the city Panhellenic Club. The "home rules," which are as few as possible, are looked after by a committee of three of the girls living in the house acting with the chaperon. The spirit of the house has been excellent for the girls are all eager to coOpera te and there has been no friction.
The house accommodates twenty gi rls and the dining·room takes care of a dozen more. In selecting the occupants, the distinction was made against girls without a co llege education merely for the necessity of limiting membership. It is not necessary that the girls in the house have a college degree, but only that they have attended college for a time, and that they are now doing really significant work in their chosen professions.
A reporter who visited the Panhellenic Home a short time ago, was qui te impressed by the various types of women represented. To quote from her report:
"There wasn't a hom rimmed spectacle on the place I There wasn't anything, in fact, to indicate that of the twenty or so women gather ed in the Iiving·room here was one who held one of the biggest positions for a woman, in the rubber business; here was an artist and there a well known musician; that th.t little group about the library table included the head of the Junior Red Cross, a well known and successful doctor, two women who were drawing most interesting salaries in one of the big chemistry 1aboratories and a very unusual kindergarten teacher. There was just one thing that had drawn these women togeth er-their mutual desire for a real home. tr
The home is absolutely self supporting and in addition to the benefit and pleasure which it gives to the girls who live there, it also supplies an excellent place for the meetings and parties of the City PanheHenic Club.
Although the house is only one year old, it has already justified its existence both finan cial ly and socially. It has achieved its aim of furnishing pleasant surroundings and a real h ome, to the lonely college woman in our midst, and has become famous for its cordial hospitality (its management)_
This fitOt critical year, the affairs of the house have been carried on under the capable direction of Mrs , Ray Crisp (Inez Collins Crisp, Ohio A, '10) who is also president of the local Panhellenic Club. Much credit is also due to the bouse chaperon, Mrs. Clara Dye

As far as we know, the Panhellenic Club of Akron is the first organization of its kind to attempt such a project but it is rumored that the Cleveland Panhellenic Club is so charmed with the idea that it is planning a like venture.

Until the Sheppard-Towner Bill* becomes a law, all provisions for maternity and infant welfare must be semi·private in nature. In New Orleans, the Charity Hospital and the free wards of the other hospitals handle such cases to the limit of their capacity, and the Lying-In Society is doing splendid work. But perhaps the most extensive work is being done by the Child Welfare Association, whose maternity service was instituted October l, 1919. We of Newcomb may well be proud of its record, for the four doctors on the maternity staff are all Tulane men, with Dr. C. Ieff Miller of the Tulane Medical Faculty as their advisory head, and the executive secretary is a Newcomb graduate. The hardest work of this service, however, has been done; by the two nurses who have handled it since its inception, and one of nurses, Celeste Janvier, is Newcomb, 1906. New. Orleans statistics are rather interesting. In 1919 there were 493 stillborn children in New Orleans, and of the living children, 445 died during their first month. After that the deaths ranged from

32 in the second month t o 20 in the other months In the fifteen months that the Child Welfare has operated its maternity service, it has handled well over three hundred deliveries, and in that number I th.ere have been but seven stillborn babies, with a negligible deathrate following delivery, while o f the moth ers, but two have died, and only one of those from purely obstetrical causes.
It is obvious, then, that the thing th a t above all others reduces both the maternal and infant mortality is intelligent, trained ca re before, at, and after birth and it is that very thing that the Welfare endeavors to 5;ve, with its prenatal care at clinics and nursing visits in the home, with its deliveries attended by both doctor and nurse, and with its postnatal care of mother and baby. I t has been uphill work, though, partly because of ignorance and indifference, partly because midwives have a firm hold here-it is estimated that sixty-five per cent of the babies born in New Orleans are born with only a midwife in attendance. Though the regulati ons governing them are very lax , some of these midwives arc really trained women, splendid, devoted nurses, even if they are not hospital graduates; but only too often they are I ike the famous Sairey Gamp, and Sairey Gamp, except in the pages of Dickens, is a tragic and not a humorous character. They are :finnly established, howev er, and they are cheap. If a woman has had five children with a midwife, why have the doctor and a nurse for the sixth, so the argument runs. Th a t she herself is a wretched, tired creature, for whom life means only a round of dragging toil, that three of her five babies died birth or in the firs t year, these tnings she does not associate with lack of trained care at Reluctantly at first she registers with the association, because a friend to ld her about /it, and because it is dollars covers ev erything, and the midwife would frequently charge m ore-but when she is taken care of as she has never been before, when her baby is strong and ,well, when her recovery is rapid and complete, then she is a convert to the new system, and her friends and n e ighbors hear of it from her. That is why now the maternity service must limit its regis trations, and its list is filled through April, for scanty funds and t wo nurses, even th ough they work without ceasing, can not cover the city.
The first month the maternity service operated there were but seven deliveries in all. In August, 1920, Miss Janvier personally attended twenty·seven, besides supervising her weekly clinics, and paying Perhaps twenty visits a week in the homes. One of the leading specialists
told me tbat he would lie right down and die if he thought he was going to have that many babies in a year. Consider for a moment what those ligures mean. It means not the day of eight and ten hours that you and I consider a day, but a sort of continuous perfonnance, eighteen, twenty, even thirty and more hours on duty without rest, doing work that taxes every muscle and nerve and emotion that you possess.
Take a typical picture. Imagine to yourself a telephone summons on a cold, rainy night. You plunge through a dark well of a courtyard, and at the back you climb treacherous, pitch-hlack steps, literally feeling your way. At the end of a crazy gallery you enter a real "third floor back," where the parents and five children live in two rooms, as you had not imagined human beings could live. Everywhere is filth, and such darkness that even at midday a lamp is necessary. Now at night, it sheds just a tiny circle oC light, and it must move with you, if you are to see at all. You must wash your hands at a faucet on the gal1ery, you must boil your water on a charcoal furnace, you must even move the mother's bed, so that the rain from the leaky roof shall n('lt fall on her. 'rhe sterile supplies of the Association are quickly opened and arranged. What the house cannot supply is improvised. The children are quieted and gotten to sleep. A frantic or "faint_ hearted" husband is made to forget himself in helping. In due season the doctor is called, and perhaps an hour, perhaps many hours later, there is the moan of a woman in travail, and the weak cry of a newhorn baby_ And later, when the nurse leaves, a mother, who for the first time has been cared for in her hour of trial, lies happy and still with her little b3by in her arms-do you wonder that the Child Welfare maternity service has grown?
The picture is not exaggerated. For Olle case where you find in the patient's home the conveniences tha.t you and I think necessary to life itself not to mention to comfort, you will find twenty cases where there are none. You will find farn,jJies of eight and ten living in two or three rooms. One baby was even born in a room adjoining a stable-it was just at Christmas, and I think Another Baby in His real presence was very near that night. You will find foreigners who cannot speak a word of anything but their own language, and who are too frightened to talk even that so that you who learned it out of a book can follow what they say. You will see babies born into the world with no provision made for their coming, sometimes with only
THE ARROW OF PI BETA PHI
a rag or a sack to wrap them in. You will find mothers to whom motherhood can bring no joy, only the bitter regret that comes of past sin, and there are little, unwanted nameless bahies--work such as this touches life in the raw.
That is the dark, pitiful side of the picture. A nurse in a blue uniform with C. W. A on the sleeve provides the other side. And what she gives is much more than the trained assistance she renders the doctor-III was detained by the traffc in St.;' said a doctor to me the other day, IIbut I didn't bother, for I knew Miss Janvier could handle the situation better than I could." And what she gives is much more than the trained attention she gives to mother and baby. It is that intangible sense of security and well-being that comes to you with the presence of someone you utterly trust, the feeling that you are not only in competent hands but also in kind and tender hands, the feeling that makes young girls and mothers of many children literally fling themselves upon her as if she were their salvation. "I prayed to St. Rita," said one little foreign woman, "and she didn't help me at all, then I came to Miss Janvier and she did." I und erstand what she meant-since 1 have seen the maternity work of the Child Welfare Association I have felt that at least one petition of the Litany was being heard and answered, i'for all women in the peril of childbirth." And it is just such things as these that makes the work satisfying. It is work without end, hard, unceasing work that taxes every resource you have, work that sometimes seems utterly hopeless when you see how much there is to be done, how few there are to do it. But it has its recompense, and I think that the service stripes that two years in France gave Celeste Janvier the right to wear can have no stronger significance to her , I know they can have no fuller meaning to others, and particularly to us of Newcomb, than the blue uniform that bears witness to her months of service in the war against death and suffe ring that mothers have waged from the beginning of the world.
THE AMERICAN SCHOOL FOR CLASSICAL STUDIES IN ATHENS

AMERICAN SCHOOL FOR CLASSICAL STUDIES <495
during 1911 · 12 may be taken as more typical than any year of later date.
Mr. Hill, the director of the School, was not in Athens that winter as he had been given a special furlough in the States to recuperate from the effects of typhoid fever. His absence made it feasible for the resident professor and family to live in the director's quarters and thus created a home atmosphere for the students. Professor Gulick of Harvard happened to be resident professor that year and Mrs. Gulick and he entertained us all at various dinners and were delightfully helpful in many wa ys. I hope the School will eventually have rooms enough to accommodate the resident professor as well as the director, an arrangement which would be of benefit to the School and also relieve the resident professor from spending part of his short year in Athens in the labor of securing and furnishing a suitable lodging.
The regular students in 1912 were only five in number and there were besides three associate members of the School who were permitted to attend all lectures, use the library and join the various tours directed by the School. These all happened to be women, a ·Bryn Mawr graduate, a Smith graduate, and myself-none of whom was working towards a degree but all of whom were interested in Greek history, art and literature. Several bther women and two other men availed themselves of the privileges extended by the SchO<lI and stu· dents in the similar schools maintained by the British, French, Germans, Austrians and Italians had free access to library facilities and lectures.
The Scb,ool has been a center of inftuence for tbe best in classical scholarship. Most of the students who have attended in the many years of its existence are now holding positions in the best universities in the United States, and such institutions will continue to send yOUDg instructors there for special study, and will select professors from those who have lived and studied in Athens.
Money is needed to promote the work of the S chool. A small dormitory for women is especially necessary, for up to the present time the few women brave enough to spend a year or more in special study in Athens hove had the greatest difficulty in finding ,uitable lodgings. Certainly a women's Greek·letter fraternity could very fittingly give substantial support to this project of a dormitory in Athens to house American women.
I am sure that the project will appeal to the various chapters as one which will certify to Pi Beta Phi's interest in advanced scholarship.
PI PHIS IN THE PU13LIC EYE
Washington, D. c., has long been a Pi Phi center and in recent years the Washington A IUIIll1B! Club has had a very cosmopolitan atmosphere. At the present time there are three Pi Phis in the Cabinet social circle in whom the fraternity at large has special interest. MRS.

MAY BRODHEAD WALLACE (Mrs. Henry C.), wife of the Secretary of Agriculture, is very well known among Pi Phis in Iowa where she was r eared and educated although she was born in New York City.

In addition to Mrs. Reinsch (Alma Moser, Wisconsin A) whose husband now represents the Chinese Government in this country, there is another member of the fraternity in Washington at present whose husband is in the diplomatic service, MRS. E. W. BURR (Mabel Neal, Washington A), wife of Major BUrT, military at the United States Embassy in Mexico. In connection with the articles from our sisters under foreign skies published in this issue it is interesting to read the following extract from a long letter descriptive of her life in Mexico which was written by Mrs. Burr and first published in Tlu Efland" News about a year ago.
We have. furnished apartment in • family botel and are quite comfortable. Living is dreadfully biah here, in fact the only two cheap thingl we h ave found are maidl and Bowen. Women come every day to the door with huge ba.skell of 80wers and one can buy great bowls full for a few cents. Gardenias seU for two cents apiece in the city, and on the COlit one gets at least four for a penny. I am enjoying the luxury of having two maids. I pay the cook $7.50 a month and the house maid $10. The l ast cook I had .aid she C"ouldn't "ork for me any longer, because I kept luch good track of the pantry and ice box that .he couldn't steal enough 10 feed her three children, 10 she would have to xek another house. Vegetables and (ruila are told in open plazas along the Itreets, or in huge central market places. It is Quite fun to go marleeting, for one alwa.ys has a little contest witb the venders to get them to seU at a reaJon.ble price. Stnwberries, tomatoes, and all the ordinary vegetable. are brought fresh every d3.y in the year. Alligator pears can always be bought for three cents.
There is quite a laree foreign colony hert, but there is little mixing between the French, Enaliah or American. The Englilh and Americans mis a little at the golf and tennia clubs, though not as a rule any place else. The Mexicans one meets are aiwa1l Tery cordial and flattering, but one never gets .,ery far in an acquaintance with them. Their parties are too stiff and formal for worda. One
i, invited {or tea at five and he i, not supposed to go UDtil six or after and be i. shockingly impolite if he leaves before nine or tcn, &Dd many times guests Illy until after onc. AI people arrive they go around to ereet the people in the circle of chain tbat is always found and after the a-rcetinp are over it is the cUltom to take the first unoccupied cbair.
The party is in reality no more than an ever widening circle. The women a1w11' i:Ted onc with • kiss, or m.ore exactly a dab at each cheek. and the men fold onc another in an embrace with much patting OD the back. 1t i, too funny to I« two exceedinely fat men 00 tbe street car embracing. After tea is served they alway. have pa.id lingers and reciters to entertain the stiffly seated company. MOlt of the Mexicans give teas on their saintl day which i. celebrated instead of the birthday, and mo.t people send bouquets which are arranged Ilround a stick and are covered with chiffon. At & saint's day party one will seld om see le ss than So bouquets about the size of a rounded ibr ub. A Mexican woman sent me a little token of 180 American beauty rOles covered with blue chiffon which "a, tied around the edge of the bloiSoms with & wide satin ribbon four yards long The stems of the blossoms are aU wired and the wires fastened to a short pole. so all one can do with such a bouquet is to put it in the corner and watch it wilt for want of water.
There are dozens of books on Mexico which an interesting; Preseotr. History reads like a thrilling adventure. Flaundrau's "Viva Mexico" and F. Hopkin· son Smith's, "The White Umbrella," give interesting glimpses of the life in different parts of the country. Thomas Janviers uLegends of Old Mexico" is one of the most delightful, for it is written in the mOlt characteristic simplicity of style to show the unthinking faith and beliefs of these people. "Mexico Under Carranza," by Thomas Gibbon gives a truthful account of h ow things have been run politically.

In the course of the morning's program, 1 added rtty bit to give endorsement to the voting by women in the coming election for the men of the party wished the mountain people to know that the "Ladies of the II B School" believed in women's voting. As 1 left the school house in Green Briar, 1 was introduced to a very old lad y, affectionately called "Aunt Mary," and 1 asked, "ATe you going to vote, Aunt Mary?" "I shore will," she answered . "I ain't fergit my pappy's being killed in the 'Republican War,' and 1 shore am aiming to do my duty." At this gathering in Green Briar, we saw many snuff·sticks, as in the early days at Gatlinburg. They are almost never seen now*a-days, in our neighborhood
When the meeting "broke" we bought crackers, and cheese (in tin cans), which served as our lunch, as we took the road for "Smoky Mountain Academy." Such roads and such deep, hard, impossible ruts I 1 was quite glad that the congressman ·elect could have the privilege (?) of all those ruts, for we all hoped he would be a strong advocate of good roads for Eastern Tennessee, and certainly they demonstrated the need of federal aid. Miss Evelyn and 1 walked most of the way over the mountains as the Ford had almost more than it could do to get itself over and through the ruts, without being thrown over the side of the mountain. At Smoky Mountain, we listened again to the political oratory, the talks lightened this time by some of Miss Evelyn's rare singing.
Election day came soon after this experience of ours. 1 had occasion to go to the hotel very early that morning , to intercept the state rural engineer who had been out to do some surveying for II and who was l eaving very early with Mr. Huff, to catch the early eight o'clock for Knoxville. As we left the hotel and came past Mr. Calvin Ogle's store (I had been asked, by the way, to serve !" clerk at the election, but could not), we found the porch and store filled with women, the men crowded outside waiting for the wom-en to vote first I It was a goodly sight. And , again, we appreciated the splendid worth of our Gatlinburg friends who, in spite of a strong conviction that voting was n ot the work for women, came out, on their own initiative, to cast their votes, because they felt they ought now that suffrage had been obtained for women. " I r eckon hit's my duty" was heard from more than one mountain woman that day. One very old lady was brought to the polls in a neighbor's wagon, many came horseback, and the vote cast was at least fifty per cent larger than it

would have been without their cooperation. Only fifteen votes were cast for the Democratic ticket. Indeed, one or two near-by districts voted straight Republican, not a single Democratic vote heing cast. One Gatlinburg wife voted Republican while her husband voted the Democratic ticket.
That night, in spite of the dark, and the muddy r oads, Miss Evelyn and I rode into Sevierville with Charlie Ogle to "get the returns." I wish many Pi Phis devoted to the development of the Settlement School who have expressed a desire to visit Gatlinburg could have such a ride as that. In the night, with the lights of the car illuminating first this bit of wonderful bit of scenery and then that one, the ride was almost more entrancing than the same ride in daytime, although one must not forget the enchantment of the mountainsides, abou t four o'clock in the afternoon when covered, as in early June. with the wonderful mountain laurel, or lIivy" as the Southerner loves to call it.

She continued to compose all the time and wrote songs, a few piano pieces, several piano books (or beginners, seven operettas and many entertainments and cantatas (or Sunday School and public school use. She completed recently a book of songs for the use of little children in the Sunday School.
Above all the more pretentious songs (or grown-ups, the lullabyes and other work she has done, the children's songs seem to stand out pret:minelltly, best representing her and her work and place in the musical world

Called to the o ffi ce in October, 1911, while trav eling in Italy, she return ed to this country to fill out the unexpired term caused by th e resignation of Mary Bartol Theiss and began her duties with the number issued in January, 1912.

This extra issue added to the nine complete volumes which have since appea red makes the total of forty numbers mentioned. above.
When the present editor accepted office the number of copies required for an edition of THE ARROW was 3,90(}-for the present issue 8,600 are necessary. This gain of 4,700, making the t otal more than double the original number, is largely due to the fact that the Pi Beta Phi family now includes sixty-two chapters where there were only f orty·three in 1912. The fact that the records show a very small num· ber of the chapter letters required during this period fa iled to reach the editor in time for publication is a testimony to the cooperation and support she has invariably received from the undergraduate sec retaries while the long list of articles and news items from alumnre witnesses to the loyal interest taken in Pi Beta Phi by scores of busy women in the world of affairs

RECENT EVIDENCES of increasing activity in things Panhellenic are a great source of satisfaction to Grand Officers everywhere for they show that fraternity women in general are awakening to the fact long realiz ed by a few that P anhellen ic association will help us all towards a common goal.
• The story of the P anhelle ni c H ouse in Akron, Ohio , has the place by itself which it merits.
New York City held its first annual Panhellenic Luncheon at Hotel Astor on Saturday, April 16 , when 430 women representing sixteen organized groups and seventy-three colleges were present. Winifred Hill Maxfield, a charter member of Massachusetts A, was the presiding office r on this occasion.
To K appa Alpha Theta belongs the «"edit for the new Panhellenie organization in Shanghai , China. Eight Thetas l ocated in Soochow and Shanghai decided to celebrate their Founders' Day with a PanheIlenie Tea. They discovered that there were at least thirty-one fra ternity women in the locality and fifteen of these including two mem bers of Pi Beta Phi greeted their seven Theta hostesses at the home of Mrs. Sailor in Shanghai on the appointed day. An organization was formed which plan s to meet three or four times a year.
The most unique example of Panhellenic unity, however, took place in Des Moines over the week-end of April 28 -30, when Kappa Alpha Theta, Kappa Kappa Gamma, Delta Gamma and Chi Omega united in a grand reception at a hotel in Des to celebrate the simultaneous installation of chapters of the four organizations in Drake University. This institution has just opened its doors to fraternities after tw enty-si x years of pro hibitio n and the new chapters certain ly start under the happiest of auspices. PonheIlenie life at Drake in the future should serve as an example for the entire country.

IN THE DEATH OF MRS. GAYNOR, Pi Beta Phi has lost one of her most illustrious members. A life-long friend writing of her achievements says: "Mrs. Gaynor1s memory is celebrated because she spoke a universal language and wrought a message which the human heart could not resist. It was the language of music and childhood. It was the message of innocence, of happiness J of dreams and mother comfort Childhood was indebted to her for its pleasures; adulthood for the meat of goodness with which she enriched the balladry of her day. And her day needed her. The genius IVhich early lay latent within her was piqued by the trashy music which was being poured into her daughters' ears . Today her name stands in the forefront of those composers of popular classic s ongs who have saved the public from a complete deluge of the jingle that has attacked the musical standards of a generation."

AT THE RECENT MEETING
of the Associati on of Collegiate Alumnce in Washington, a gratifying number of fraternity women were active at the various sessions. Mrs. Rosenberry, a r, presided in a masterly fashion over some rather difficult business sesJiions, Mrs. Vernon Kellogg, r 4> B, and Dr. May L. Keller, II B 4>, responded to toasts at the banquet and Mrs. Calvin Coolidge, n B <1>, and Mrs. Herbert Ho over, K K r, receiv ed at the tea given to the delegates and visitors at the national clubhouse.
TWs meeting was noteworthy because the Association of Collegiate Alumn., and the Southern Association of Collegiate Alumn", were merged in to one body at this time and reo rganized under the name of the American Association of University Women This is important because the United States now has o ne organization of college women which wi1l join the World Federation of U niversity Women (now represented in fourteen countries) as a united group. Miss Ada Comstock, t. r, Dean of Smith College, was elected Pr"'ii dent of the new organization and Dr. May L. Keller, II B f,f), Sectional Director of the Southeast Central Section. There are ten directors, one for each section of th e country and the office correspondents to a vicepresidency under the former A. C. A . organization .
ANNOUNCEMENTS
Mrs. Arthw H. Cutler (Neva Hungerford, Michigan B) is the originator of a new scheme for earning money for the Settlement School-viz., the making of a Pi Beta Phi victrola record. On one side will be the Pi Beta Phi Anthem written by Mrs Stowell C. Stebbins (Marie Winsor, Mi chigan B) and on the reverse side another well known Pi Phi Song: Mrs. Cutter and Mrs. Stebbins are heading a committee of the New York alwnnre club to further the project. A sale of two thousand records must be guaranteed. It is hoped that every active chapter and every alumnre club will respond to the appeal made to it to buy records for this worthy eause.
All scholarship committee chairmen who have not already done so will please send to Mrs. C. W. Mitchell , Silver Spring, Maryland, before June 24 , the following data concerning each senior elected to a national honorary society or receiving other graduation honors: Name, Chapter, Course pursued in college, Degree received, Scholastic honors (Phi Beta Kappa, with distinction ,etc.)
Theo Golliday Brown, A.B. Illinois B, and Mildred Brown Pearce, A.B. Smith, Illinois IJ., announce the opening of Camp Na·tah·ki, a summer camp for girls in the woods of Northern Wisconsin, June 29, 1921. As Pi Beta Phis we make an especial appeal to Pi Phi mothers. Na-tah-ki means "Beautiful Womanhood" and in choosing it as the name of their eamp the Directors had ih mind the ideals for which Pi Beta Phi has stood for so many years. There are a few vaeancies for the coming summer, and if you are sending your daughter to a camp, let it be Na·tah·ki. For catalogue address Mrs. C. H. Brown, 1490 East Knox Street, Galesburg, Illinois.
There will be a IT 01> tea at the Broadmoor Hotel, Colorado Springs, July 28, and also, August 11, at four o'clock. All Pi Phis who may be in the city on either of these days will be most welcome.
During the Shrine Conclave and the meeting of the National Educational Association this summer the Des Moines alumnre club wishes to meet all Pi Beta Phis who are guests in the city. Definite plans have not yet been made but !he club requests that members who plan to visit Des Moines on those dates send their names to the corresponding secretary, Grace E. Gabriel, 1701 Pennsylvania Ave., or telephone her, Maple 36, on their arrival.

The two mOlt important objective. for us this year hAVe been the Settlement School and the active chapter. In both these directions we have tried to double our formu accompli shment, and we have succeeded to a considerable extent. Our total contribution to the school has been $500 and to the active chapter $150. The money has been obtained through the sale of Christmas cards, {rom mite boxes and (rom a rummage Jale. Another rummllge lale is planned which, we ho pe, will add to our funds.
At Christmas time twelve dolls were purchased by the club and dressed by individual members (or the Settlement School children. The display of thHe doUs was an interesting feature of tbe active -alumnae gathering in November at Mrs. Benjamin's home.
Shortly before the national election, we held a Pan hellenic tea at the College Club in honor of Mrs. Calvin Coolidge. All Pi Phis in the neighborhood of Boston gathered for an enthusiastic meeting. Our guests of other fraternitieJ spoke of achievement and plans in the Greek-letter world which indicate a pre· v:liiiog spirit of social service. It was a delightful occasioo. and we were glad to be able to expreKs our confidence in a Republican victory.
In January our meeting was addressed by Dr. Edith Hale Swift who gave an unusually helpful talk on "Vital Health Problems." In March a t our Settlement School meeting letters from the teachers, and llthank you" notes from the children were read to the enlightenment and joy of aU.
Two experiments were made in the holding of meetings. The annual Christmas reunion was held in the evening during the holidays instead of on the usual Saturday afternoon, and the February meeting was broken up into community meetings in different parts of the city.

In November, we met with Mrs. Cook (Edith Valet, New York B). At this meeting it was decided that owing to the fact that we were so scattered throuihout the state, Hartford would meet the 6rst Saturday of the month, including all Pi Phi s from nearby places, and New Haven would meet the second Saturday. All Pi Phis living n ear New Haven were likewise included. Twice a yea,r, Octobtr and February, we will h ave one luge, general meeting at Hartford and the other in New Haven. Founders' Da, will be celebrated at either city, alternating between Hartford and New Haven . Both dties had a very large attendaDce at their meetings.
The February meeting was held a t Hartford at the h o me of Grace and Lucy Bartholomew, Colorado B. After a bountiful luncheon we had oar yearly bariness meeting. Offi ce rs for the year were elected. A delightful little pia, was given by the Hartford girls.

The season 1920-21 has bten (or the New York Club very succtsSful and slltisfactory. While we have not satisfied o ur desire to bring into club membership and into acti\'e wo rk (or the fraternity every member of IT n 4J in our district. we have secured an increased membership, an increased avenge attendance. and nn incre3se in the number of different Pi Phis who have attended meetings. or in some other way shown an interest in the fr3ternity. Our suburb3n distri ct is very brge, and we include in our resident alumnre many who are not in the habit of visiting New York frequently, and who find it impossible to go into the city for club mtetings. Some of these remote Pi Phis. however, whom we never see, are l oyal supporters of tho club and fraternity wq,rk.
Our season of activity opens with the October meeting and closes with tht celebrat i on of Founders' Day, but this r epo rt must go back to last spring to make mention of two s uppl eme ntary meetings thnt followed the regular work of last season. On Mny 15 we had a visit from Miss Bishop, who told us many things about our Settlement Sc hool , 3nd made us wish thnt she could day langei and tell us more. One result of her visit was that Phyllis Higinbotham, Ontario A, then a member of the New York club htls been the nurse at the school 'during the past year. lIer messages to the club have been greatly enjoyed, and have stimulated interest in the schoo l.
The other meeting was the outing to Asbury Park in June when members of the club were guests of Carrie Stroud. New York A t at lun c heon at the Hotel Franklin. Twenty accepled Miss Siroud's iovit3tion, enjoyed the sail down the bay, the allractions of Asbury Park, and the luncheon at Miss Stroud's delightful hotel.
An event of interest to the New York club was tbe tea given in October duri:ng the Pr esiden tial campAign, by the New York Republican Women', Committee to Mrs Calvin Coolidge (Grace A. Goodhue. Vermont B. '02). Members of the New York Alumn:t! Club were invited to meet Mrs. Coolidge, and our president, Mrs . Cleaver, was a member of the reception committee. Mrs. Coolidge's charming personality impressed all, and the group of Pi Phil
THE ARROW OF PI BETA PHI
pres;ent WIU greatly pleased when she was llble to withdraw for .. short time from the general reception and talk with them in a morc intimate manner.
Regul1lr monthly meetin&,s bave been held on the first Saturday o( the month. At the beginning of the scason's activities, we issued a program of meetings and directory of Pi Phil in our district, which was !ito! to &11 the names on our hst. In order to reach the surburh91l Pi Phis who could Dot go into New Y()rk. the district membership chairmen for Long Island nd \Vestehester Counly, Mrs. H. S. Sha.w, and Mrs. A. H. Cutler, held neia:hborhood teas at their homes. The illness of Mrs. Robert Joyce, the chairman for the N ew Jersey district, prevented the holding of the tea which ,be bad planned f or the New Jer sey members.
The cl ub has worked hard for the Settlement School. Miss Higinbotham's presence in Gatlinburg gave ' us an added incentive, Because of the special interest taken in her work, the club prepared and sent a comp lete layette, adapted to the needs of Gatlinburg ba.bies, with a large doll as !l baby model. The committee who prepared the layette were greatly indebted to the Maternity Ceuter Association of New York City, where they were given advice and the opportunity Gf purchasing some articles at cost, Members of the New York Club made some of the articles incl uded in the layette.
To meet the expenses oC the layette and to raise the club's contrib ution to the Schoo l , the club used the Chris tm!U Card book., the sale of chocolate, and a direct appeal for contrib uti ons from members of n B eft in our district. The results llave been most gratifyinc. Committees worked hard, and contributon were enthusiastic and generous, and enabled the club to reach the goal set, of nising more than $1,000. Some who sre not able to attend meetings show their interest by contributing to the school. Of many ch ap ters loere are alumnae groups large enongh to give the club the benefit of chapter enthusiasm. The following (roups were 100% strong in th ei r r esponse to the appeal f or contributions: Indiana B, Ohio A, lllinois B, .6, and E, and Iowa B. Besides the club cootributioas, gifts of money, books, magazines, etc. , have been made by individu.al member., or by their interest from sources outside the club.
During the past year the sixtee.n organited clubs of the women'. national fraternities have fDrmed Panhellenic AS5ociation, to promote social inter· COllr5C among fraternity women, and a greater knowledge of one another. The Ne York Alumnle Oub is represented in the ASsociation by the presiding officer, Mrs. Butoo L. Maxfield, and a delegate. On April J6 a luncheon was held at which n B was well represented. It ,'t'ould make this report too long t o give each meeting the mention It Gur large verage attendance shows how popular our meetings are.

One meeting hIlS been held on the Settlement School and one on the active chapter. In December we had our annU:l1 sale. This time we sold baskets and hearth brooms from the School. One evening we entertained the chapler pledges. During the holidays we had a social meeting with members from the Washington, New York, and Buffalo c1uos as guests. OUf Panhellenic meeting had to be postponed on account of a conflict in dales. For Founders' Day the chapter and club will have a ' joint cooky-shine. the first one this year, We have kept in close touch with the active chapter. as usual, through our advisory committee members.

This year our club has reasons for being happy, having four more members thtln last year with the prospect of two more, We feel that the tide has at last turned in our favor, and that the discouraging days when we struggled along with an attendance of two or three are gone forever_
We held no regular meetings duriug the summer months. but met for a picuic at Seneca Park at the time of the annual Song and Light Festival. In October we had a "Bacon Bat" i at the Novemher and December meetings we dressed dolls and colleded games for our Christmas box for the Settlement School. Besides the required meetings for the constitution, examinations and nearest chapters, we had a cooky-shine and theatre party, and expect to celebrate Founders' Day with a luncheon at the University Club,
The following colleges are now represented in our club: Middlebury, Buck. nell, Iowa State College, Cornell, Boston University and Syracuse.
Besides giving $5 each to the Fellowship and Lonn funds, we have sent $61 for our school at Gatlinburg _ Parents of two of our members have contributed to the school through the club_ Why not persuade our families to place the Settlement School on their regular list of benevolences?

Th!! year has been a very busy ont for Syracuse Pi Phis We have met regularly every other week, alternating an evening with an all-day meeting. The evening meetings are more largely :l ttended, but the all-day affairs, which last {rom eleven until four aT five and include a covend-dish luncheo n, have been very popular with the fourteen or fifteen who are able to come. At one of these all-day meetings we h emmed napkin s ond a tablecloth, our Christmas present to the active chapter, at others we worked for the Orphans' Home, and at still another we sewed for one of our soon-to-be brides.
In December we had a holiday cooky-shine, to which ench member brought a gift for the Settlement School c hildren, and sufficient money to pay for the bolt of bluebird crepe we sent the School at Christmas. On February II we celebr.:tted the twenty-fifth anniversary of the rounding of our chapter with a big birthday party at the home of Th e resa Elmer. Founders in frocks of twenty years ago, a1 umnre in gowns they possessed while in college or dressed as children, a.nd our guests, the active girls , also as children, mingled in the fun. Founders' Day, we are to be entertained, as usual, by the active chapter a t a party in the new chapter-ho use.
To h el p finance this new house, and to raise money for the other n 4> needs have been our main interests this year Our chief sources of income have been from the sale of Mrs. Gutgesell's Christmas card,. and a rummage sale at one of the do\vn town stores. We are also using and selling to our fri ends Camp Fire cocoa. the profit from which adds one bit more to the fund. In M:ay, the active chapter, with our cooperation, are to hold a one-day th ea tre benefit for the Settlement School, at one of the largest theatres here. these various sources we are hoping to add materially to the $50 already sent the Settlement School, to pay our usual allotment to the Fellowship Fund. (lnd have a sum left over to help out on the house.
At Commencement time in June our club year will be brought to a close wi th the annual ban q uet. Several of aUf members are planning to attend convention, from which they wilt be sure to bring back to us many Dew ideas and a renewed interest in all n E activities.

Although Akron bas been in the throes of an indust",.! depression since l ast summer and through this we have 10lt some of our m os t active members, we are h appy to tell you that O Uf club i, larger and stronger than ever before and that this has been a. very successful year, considering aU. O Uf success is largel)' due to the untiring e/forts and unfailing loynlty of O Uf president, Mrs. H. L. Dorman (May Lewis, Mi chigan A. '03); and to the unusual business ability of our treasurer, Mrs. John T. Dye (Kathryn Robberls, Iowa Z. ex-'J6). Mrs Dye is a wizard with "figgers" and under her enrerul guardianship our few little dollars were stretched to cover donations to the Fello,vship Fund and Settlement School. We hsve continued our custom of greeting all Ihe tiny future Pi Phis and "young gentleman Grcoeks" with a baby spoon ins tead of flow en. I am proud to say that we have many babies in ou r club and we don't mind having a low average attendance on account of their demands u pon molher'. time.
Our meetings h ave been held on the second Saturday o f each month. This give. our leachers and business girls the opportuni ty of attending, and if DO one else is available little J ohns snd Dorothys-if not too small-may amuse their fathers for the afternoon. All of our required meetings have been faithfully, if not always enthusiastically, ca rri ed out. Examination questions and constitutions simply are no l popular; but we did become interested in the hi sto ry and devoted several meeting s to the st udy of it.
On the eveni ng of February 2, Mrs. Dye and Mrs. Berry (Evelyn Robberts, I owa Z, ex·'16) entertained us with a card party in h onor of our husban d s Betas, Delta Taus, Phi Delts and other Greeks all came and enjoyed it so much th3t we have decided to have another one soon, as they requested, and charge admi.sion fees The husbands are still in ignorance o( this added feature, but don't you think it a pleasant and easy way of earning money (or our Settlement School ? i !
Our greatest money rai sing scheme is our annual benefit bridge in the spring. The people in Akron have had so many demands this winter for home and foreign r eliefs that we postponed our bridge party until ned fall. We feel that Pi Phis are responsible for Gatlinburg 3nd that we, not our fri ends, should make the sacrifices. Ten of o ur girls donated $S each and there were a few smaller donations. This money was earned in most cases and represented a real effort. One of our membe r s gave up her laundress (or Iwo weeks; another entertained some of her hnsb:md ' s bachelor (riends for dinnrr at so much per plate; and there were many olher interesting methods used Still we didn't have $100 which we decided was the least we should send Again Mrs. Berry and Mrs. Dye offered tbeir home a nd our plans are all made for a smaU bridge

We had such success with our movie for the School last spring that we are planning to repeat the effort, and we hope, the success, this spring. We are supplementing that by the sale of sandwiches in the dormitories, a venture which has proved very successful so far. At Ollr meeting for the active chapter, we discllssed not only how we could help the girls with advice. but also the more material subject of how to help them in their new project of refurnishing their hall. Founders' Day, we always celebrate with the active chapter. This takes either the form of a dinner at one of the hotels, or a more in (llrmal spread at the hall.

The Cleveland Club has its meetings the first Saturday of each month, an in(ormal1llncheon served on trsys preceding the bu s iness session. Five hostesses entertain each. time.
The enthusiastic October meding was devoted brgely to plans for the year, cspeci"l1y in regard to mo ney raising (or the Settlement School. In November, Mrs. Gibson gave us a splendid talk on the constitution as it is, and changes contemplated.
The December meeting is always onc of much fun, and this year was no exception. After the business meeting. each onc present received a twenty·five cent gift, brought by some other member, and much merriment ensued. Mrs. Miller and Mrs. Allyn then entertained us with solos and readings.
In January we had chapter day, and as no active chapter is very dose to us, we had reports of mu ch interest from the four nearest Cleveland. Mrs. T. H. wife of the president oC Monmouth College. aho gave us an interesting talk about Monmouth and the alumnre club there.

marks the end of our Settlement School year. All the voluntary contributions are put into a basket in unmarked envelopes, and at the end of the meeting the funds are counted. Just th ink, this year there were over $500 in the basket! Our treasurer then made her :lnnual report, and we learned that \ve had $1,800 to send to the Sett lem ent School.
Sometimes other clubs write to ask, "How do you do it 1" answer that it is done by constant eHort, backed up by an unwavering Caith in our caase aod a great pride in the accompli shments at Little Pigeon.
Mr. Pocock, husband of our president, has as his business slogan, "A ll the Time," and thnt might be our motto too, for our work for the School is aoceasing. An advisory board made up of the club officers h as frequent meetings to formulate plans and then to execute them, and a Settleme nt Sch oo l commi ttee takes charge of all our enterprises for raising money. These women give hoars and hours of time to J] 4Jo, but they feel that spare time could be spent to no better pu rpose, All the club members coOllCrate and do thtir best to forward an, mo\'ement instigated by the committee, and I believe cooperation, above all, spells the succus of the club in its Settlement School endeavors.
In October, a rumm age sa le netted us o\'er $400. Three of Mrs. Gutgesell's Christm&S card books, never allowed to be idle during three months, added $500. The ytar round Mrs. Curtis acts as our untiring Royce ag!!nt, and this time had $167 to contribute.

The Philadelphia Club has held regulnr meetingl this yellr-three at thl! College Club preceded by informal lun cheons, two at the Plnlie Club in the a{tl: rnoon followed by tea. and one on Mar ch 5 at the home of Helen Ramley in Swarthm o re before Penn sylvania A initiati o n.
This year our club has tried a new s ystem of transacting dub business; an committee composed o f the o ffi c ers of the club and two o ther members. appointed by the president, has been formed. This committee transacts the business and submits a condensed report at each monthly meeting for approval by the dub. Thil has proven very satisfactory, and allowl much more time at mee:t inp (o r & program.
Tbere have regular programs at each meeting dealing with Settlement Schoo l, constituti on, el cet e rn. A representative from our nearest chapter, P e nn sylvania A, always attend s the meetings and gives a regular chapter report. Th e advilory committee co mposed of five alumnae also gives a report on chapter affairs.
The dub is supporting again our same two French war orphans. to raise tbis money for next year, we are giving a large benefit card spring.
In order puty this
This year the Philadelphia club has sent over $500 to Settlement School. $450 of thi. was rai sel!l by selling Mrs . Gutgesell's Christmas cards, and the rest by contributions.
Pennlyll'ania A and Philadelphia alumnae club always celehrate Founders' nay together, and this year we are planning to hold a luncheon at the Walton Holel in Philadelphia, April 30, and to hsve as our guests of honor two FoundeTl. Mrs. Grier and Mrs Turnbull. Toasts, songs and a short pity by the chapter :ne be ing planned.

THE ARROW OF PI BETA PHI
The Pittsburgh Club i s nearing the close of the most success(ul year in its history. Attendan ce at m«tings was brought up fr om I2 to 30 and paid memberships from 18 to 44. Enthusiasm has risen as well and Joyal, coopera tive Pi Phis have been working to make th e Pittsburgh club one of the best in the province, a rather l arge order to anyone knowing the record of Beta Province.
We we re confronted with the problem of sustaining the interest of Pi Phis in OU T club and early in the ye;r a number of brave spirits set out to overcome this most serious obstac le in the path of progress. Of tht dozen who heretofore attended meetings, a diffe rent dozen came each time, so that real con structive work was impossible. Early in the fall, a campaign was started to r each e very n 4> in the locality. A personal letter was sent nut by the secretary and in no un ce rta in te rms support and were asked. First an appea l for dues was mad e, and then plans were unfold ed for the year's busin ess. The letter was hi ghly successfu l. A typewritLen form was used, but the personal element was throughout. An o ther me thod of interesting Pi Phis in our club WflS that employed by Mrs. I.:ouis Goehring (Virginia Adams, Pennsylvania A), who called at the home of Pi Phis , new in Pittsburgh, told them of the club, its meetings, and where the new -co mer lived a gre:a.t d istance from the place of rneehngs, she lent her ma chine to escort her. This method won for Mrs. Goehring th e gratitude of new Pi Pbis and also that of the club.
The Settlement School became of interest to the club as never before, because, last year, through a mi sunderstn.nding the sum wt' sent was not credited to us. Instead of being disheartened, we reso lved, this year, that a good l arge sum be sen t, the misunderstanding of which would be impossible. At the December meeting, we arr:mged to collect money to send a tub of candy to t he Settlement &:hool, and the time was judged not inappropriate to make a n appeal for our annual gift. The discussion was l ed by Mrs. Charles Branson (Anna Jackson , Pennsylvania A), who served o n the original Settlement School committee, when the school was st ill an airy project. She portrayed for us conditions at Little Pigeon with such pathos that despite the fact that Christmas shopping bad already flatt ened many purses, we wanted to dig deep ill our pockds, and over $150 wa s pledged that day. Sc h emes were afloat to raise more. The Jan9ary meeting was set aside as the meeting reserved exc lusively for tbe Settlement School and again Mrs Branson talked to u s. This time she illustrated her t3,lk with pic tures clipped from iss ues of THE ARROW and with baskets and Settlement Sch ool handiwork. Among the sch emes projected, that of holding a benefit card pArty was found most suitable and Mrs. Elmer Dills (Edith Orgill , Pennsylvania 6) was put in charge Through the cooperation of Pennsylvania 6, each frat ernity girl in the University of Pittsburgh was invited, and alumn:e from all frat ernities were invited tbrough the chapters. Mothers and friends were also invited. The assessment was $1. The bridge was held the afternoon of February 26, in the Kaufmann and Baer auditorium. $125 was cleared, and of this $25 was sent in as the Pennsylvania A contribution, by way of r eeogni tion of their services in selling tickets. Besides tbis, we were able to send in $200 more, received from individual subscriptions, so that our check read .$300.

The yea r 1920':11 has been a very pleasant one for the Toledo Alumnre Club, owing, perhaps, to th e f act that we have had with us seve ral new members, some coming from other cities nnd othe rs com ing d irect ly from coll ege , all of whom have brought with them great inspiration and much enth usiasm.
Our meetings a r e h eld r egu larly the second Thursday of each month. An Pi Phi s a r e welcome to our meeting! and we would like to urge auy who are in Toledo, if only for a sho rt time, to come to them.
This year we have adopted the plan of having a business meeting at 3 P M. one mo nth, and a spread at 6 P. M. the following month. It has proved very s u ccessfu l , for those who were otherwise occupied in the afternoon! could attend the spreads, and those who had to be home at the dinne r hour could attend the businesl meetings.
The most enjoyable spread o f the year was given, MIlrch 26 , at th e home of Mrs. Ben J ohnson, honoring the active Pi Phis who were home f o r the E u ter va.cation. W e were delighted to h ave with us, Katherine J ohnson and Potly Black, Ohio D, and Gretchen S t33m ates Ilnd Sileno. Reeder, Virginia B.

Settlement School very materially. Very definite p lans have already been made. And not only are the Pi Phis saving aU win ter clothing, but their friends have also been solicited to do likewise. We hope to make it a great success, and. with every member working, we see no reason why a goodly sum sho uld not find its way into the Settlement School treasury from tbe Toledo club.
We were glad to make a contribution to the Fellowship Fund. As the LOIm Fund was ODe of the first of the sltrnistic works by the frate=rnity, and, 85 it has been productive of mu ch good, it seems to us that this work sbo uld be continued. We also contributed to a fund to aid in maintaining. room in the dormitory of the Classical School of Athens, Greece.
April 30, has been decided upon as the day for celebrating Founders' Day, with a lun cheon at the Ottawa Hills Tea House.
At present all are thinking and planning (or convention. Several o( our alumn:e hope to attend convention, and from them we expect to gain much inspiration and many n ew ideas (or another happy year.

The first meeting was held at the College Club on the evening of September 24 , but all snbsequent meetings have been held monthly in the active chapte r rooms, an evening meeting alternating with a lun cheon.
At the October luncheon , when the subject was the Settlement School, we had as ou r guest, Gamma Province Vice-p resident, Mrs . R . D. Duncan, Jr., who gave an interesting talk.
As a means of raising money for the Settlement School, tl subscription dance given by the active chapter and the alumnae club, November 20. proved to be a great success socially 8S well as financially. Money for the Scbool bas also been raised by selling chocolate during the year.
We were SO sorry tbat our president, Mrs. Ray Mowbray Warner. Maryland A '14, was obliged to resign in December. On account of ill health she was compelled t() give up all active club work. Sylvania Nagle (Maryland A., 'IS) our Vice·president, assumed the duties of the office until the (ollowing meeting. when Mrs. Ralph F inkflnde r (Roberta Everngam, 'Ig) was elected president of the club.

The Richmond Alumnae Club has held monthly meetings, the third Wednesday night at the home. of members. We have missed (our of our last year', n.etive members this year: Gladys Cherryman Tilghman, who has moved to Philadelphia; Miss Gertrude Beggs, who is in China, on two years' furlough: Caroline Lut£, who is teaching at her home. at Decatur. lit.; and Lucy Bartholemew, who is in Hartford, Conn.
Last year, our club pledged to raise $300 for the n auxiliary fund towards the Women's Dormitory of the Amer ican Classical School, at Athens. Before leaving, Miss Beggs contributed $20, as a nucleus. The Grand Council kindly donated the $172.77, remaining from the War Relief Fund.
We sent letters to all the alumnre clubs. asking for contributions, receiving about 20 responses, and made up the dtficit ourselves.
Though small numerically, we were bound not to fnll below our last year's Settlement contribution, and have worked hard for that, having $115 to report, a part of which we raised selling Christmas card., and novelties, from Mrs. Gutgesell, as well as a pledge of $10 to the Fellowship Fund.
We have had our usual happy times together. On December 4, Dr. Margaret Kuyk, a good n friend, gave a luncheon for Dr. Edith Matzke, and Dr. Edith Gordon, at which severnl club members had the privilege of hearing interesting reports of the Interdepartmental Health Conference, which they had just attended in Washington.
The same evening, Dean May Kell er entertained the faculty and the alumna: club. at Westhampton College, in their honor. Several Richmond, Randolph· Macon. and Hollins girls are bringing home euests for Easter, so we are planning to give them a picnic on Easter Monday. We are planning to celebrate Founders' Day, with a luncheon at the "Rose -bo wl Inn." We expect to invite out--of·town alumnae, and hope to swell our membership for next year.
We are looking forward to convention, when lome of us hope to motor up, and renew old friendships. and make new and lasting ones.
A cordial greeting to other clubs.

Another !Successful year for the W ashi ngton Alumnre Club has passed. Due to the efficiency of our program committee, our monthly meetings have been most interesting.
In the early fall we had II. delightful meding the h ome of Mrs. John J. Thomp,on, at Landov er, MAryland. At this meeting we decided to raise money to help refurnish the rooms of the active chapter. Over $:Z50 was co ll ected for this purpose.
The Novemlxor meeting was h e ld at the home of Floren ce Frisby. The special feature of the evening was the presence of seve ral of the charter members of Columbia A. All of them told interesting stories of the founding of o ur chapter.
The club met at th e home of our president, Mrs. Dun c an, in December. Plans were made for an exhibition of the Settlement School slides at a meeting to which friends of n 4> could be invited. Acco rdingly, early in December, we had a meeting at Edna Stone' s, where th e slid es were displ a y ed and Emma Harper Turner, who had recently visited the school, told us of the work the Sch'ool was accomplishing and explained the s li des. To raise money for the schoo l we sold Christmas cards and gave a card party. In all we con tributed $175 towards the support of the school.
At the January m ee ting. held at the home of Mrs. James Clift, Mrs. Roth read a comprehensive report on conditions at our local public library. A set of resolutions, directed toward the bettering of the situation, was passed. Mrs. Bullock read the recent changes in the constitution.
W e enjoyed a splendid program of home talent at our next meeting held a t the home of Margaret White.
In order to welcome Mrs. Calvin Coolidge to Washington the club and the active chapter gave a tea in h er hon or at the home of Mrs. Smallwood (mothe r of Dorothy Smallwood Geare), to whi ch all members of II in th e city, llnd our patronesses, were invited. Mrs. H enry Wallace, wife of the Secretary of Agri c ultur e, and her daughter, Ruth, and Mrs. Paul Reinsch (Alma Moser, wife of the former minister to China. w ere also in the receiving line. Among the two hundred guests, we were most happy to welcome Dr. Keller and Pauline Turnbull, president of Gamma Province.
We are looking forward to an inform al af[ernoon party in April when the girls will bring their babies and th ei r sewing Later in April will come the Founders' Day Banquet to which Maryland A will be invited.
We shall have one more. meeti ng of the club in May and after that we hope to renew our pleasant. informal summer gatherings.
Many of the girls are pl3.llning to go to the convention at Charlevoix where they hope to meet new friends and renew old acquaintanc es.

We have held four meetings this year. The first one was on Founders' Day. Like all of our anniversary celebrations recently, it WllS held at the chapterhouse. The d:lY was given over to jollification for which our form of luncheon, s cooky-shine, was in no small measure
At two of OUT other meetings, "pot luck" luncheons were served. These add materially to the enthusiasm and interest, since they promote a spirit of cooperation and friendship They break dowli .3.11 barriers of formality. We recommend this (orm of luncheon to every alumna! cluh. It gives an opportunity for everyone to take part and does not throw an undue burden or resvonsibility on the hostess at whose home the meeting is held.
We have no printed programs. The welfare of our active chapter in the University of Michigan and the Settlement School. are the main topics for discussion. These are the subjects we consider of most vital interest and importance to our club.
Four or five girls from the active chapter always attend our meetings and thus we are kept in very close touch with the chapter's activities and needs. We helped the girls finance :l beautifully appointed reteptioll in J!1nuary. We bought new curtains for the living-room and music·room of the chapter-house and we have voted to give the chapter another substantia l gift this spring.
To the Sett l ement School. we have sent $85. This money was raised by subscription.
In addition. we have sent $4 to the Fellow.ship Fund and $5 to the Classical School at Athens.

The Beloit Alumnre Club has spent a very enjoyable year. We have had II membership of J4 and have planned to meet c3ch month on the first Mondsy at the homes of our members. The six o'clock dinner plan proved to be a most successful one in bringing the members out 3.nd having them on time for :1 nice long meeting. A committee of three serves each time, so the burden falls lightly on :tIl. This YC3r we have paid ten cents c"tra each time for our dinner and the extra went into our Settlement School fund. Before the year c10sts we shall have held the required number of meetings.
For our November meeting on the Settlement School we had an especial privilege. Mrs. Tannahill invited the alumn::e and active chapter to her home for a '3unday evening spread. We had .:I. very enjoyable as well as instructive evening with Miss Langmaid who had come directly from the Settlement School and was 11{ rs. Tannahill's home guest.
The first week in October we gave a dinner party at the home of Margaret Blazer for our active chapter and prospective Pi Phis. This g.:l.ve us a very good opportunity to meet all the prospects.
The February meeting given over to the interests of the active chapter. The chapter advisory board reported and the chapter housing problem was discussed. Our advisory board has done very faithful w"rk this year; Miss Carpenter has worked untiringly with the pledges and the active chapter on their fraternity study.
At our March meeting Miss Carpenter gave us a very interesting and profitable talk on the growth and changes of the constitution. Florence Robinson. who helped on one of the revisions of the constitution added some valuable first hand in formation.
Because of the small number of members in our club. matters which would ordinarily be considered by committees are taken up by the club as a whole with free discussion This takes nway the formality of the club proceedings and ndrls much to its congeninlity.
For Founders' Day the alumn re a re giving a dinner party for our active chapter. April 24. the evening following the formal pnrty, which the chapter gives in honor of the day.

We have had an unu suall y busy yenr planning and doing many things toward owning a home for the active chapter. We have finished paying for tke lot in Urbana upon which we had expected to build a new house. And then suddenly came the opportunity to buy a house on South Wright Street, opposite the campus and beautifully located, so we have contracted for this h ouse. There will have to be a few changes made in it so the chapte r can use it next year. Tn time. we hope to remodel and make extensive improvements.
Like a1l alumnae clubs we are alway! trying to think of a way to make money (or our different needs. We held a rummage snit. last April, which netted $382.25. At another sale in January, we made $300. 'Ve sent for one of Mrs. Gutgesell's order books last fall and sold enough Christmas cards to clear $97.80 as OUT share.
Our club sent a small contribution 10 the n B 4 donation to the American School of Classical Studies at Athens . We have also sent $50 to the Settlement School and expect to send the second installment in April. If it were not f o r Ihr very urgent 'fIeed of funds for our recently purchased house. we would be glad to be ma ch more generow in con tributing to the variollS interelta anr{ activities of the fraternity.

The ChicaiO Club has followed its usual plan of bimonthly meetings in the Loop with group meetings at least twice a yeST at the homes of members in the different sections of the city
At the first meeting it wa.s our good fortune tOo have Abbie Langmaid tell of the work in Gatlinburg, especia lly of the work needing to be done and waiting upon o ur generosity. An illustrated talk on Mountain Schools by Miss Minnie Whitham, of Oak Park, and the showing of the new pictures of the Settlement School by Mr. Schantz, at the November meding, dupened the impressions made by Miss Lang-maid.
A card party at the Union League Club, February 12 wa.s so successfully planned by Mrs. David Underhill Smith (F lo ren ce Underhill, Colorado A) and loyally supported by the Pi Phis that $115 was placed to the credit of our Settlement School fund.

The Decatur Alumnre Club reports a most sueee!'sful year, both in interest and enthusiasm and in financial efTorts. We have followed our usual custom of holding monthly meetings at 1:30 P. M. We find the evening more satisfactory, since babies are asleep by that time and teachers can escape from "the stacks and stacks of papers" for a couple of hours.
Our activities open co-incident with those of the active chapter, for the club has charge of the tw/) rushing parties given during the second and third weeks of college This year the two parties wrre combined in a progressive dinner party given in the homes of club members, followed by a dance. Since the majority of our members are former Millikin students it is only natural that there is close cooperation between the active and alumna! groups. However they are no more loyal than alumna! of other chapters. Enough c3.n't be said for their earnestness and help. Our first regu l ar meeting, October 5, held a t the house was given over to discussion of the problems that wcve confronting the active chapter. The second meeting was also business, at the home of Henrietta Page. T don't think any of us will ever forget the Christmas party at the home of Florence Burner, for not one person failed to receive a gift with the mos t c lever jing l e attached. We had a real cooky-shine with Helen Huff in February nnd at the March meeting wit h Ade l aide Wasem, we were partic u lar ly fort un ate to have Mrs. Rugg with us. The year's program will close with a J une picnic. \ Ve were delighted to be able to send in the entire amount of our allotment for Settlement School at one time netted (rom two sales, baskets from Mississippi and Mrs . Gutgesell' s Christmas cards. This was Ollr third basket sale. and they an: always spoken of as un /j) Bashts ." This was the first time we have used Mrs . GutgeselPs Christmas Novelty Book, but we heartily endorse it as a means of making money
The first part of the year the club assisted the active chapter in getting their house on a so u nd financial basis. since the house was given up {or three yea rs as a war-time measure. Then we began thinking of the Permanent House Fund aga.in. Florence Burner. Florida A. most capably managed a card party, and food sale given at the Art Institute on February 19. HOOsekeepers came, played cards. and (hen took something home already prepared for the evening meal. The tea and its accessories that were served. were don.1ted by a patroness and a mother. And there was $130 for the Fund. There are also mite boxes to be opened on Founders' Day and an auction sale in conjunction with the active chapter.

The program for our March meeting at Mrs. Greer's home is to consist o f a review of fraternity examination questions, for convention, and Ihe election of officers. The latter and the sppointment of the two advisory committees, will mean readiness for next year's business.

We were very fortunate this year in the arrangements (or our annual benefit card party. November 27. $Iio·was cleared for the Settlement School. The club, ever since it was org3.Dued. has supported a room in the Galesburg hosp ita l artd this year $100 has been spent on new furnishings. Allo $10 was sent to the Fellowship fund and $10 to the Athens dormitory. A benefit dance is being planned, April IS. to reimburse our depicted treasury, and to celebra te the close of a satisfactory year.
The Madison Alumo:!! Club held regular monthly meetings during the yeflr 1920-21. The benefit bridge party held at the n 4:1 House in October was very successful and helped greatly to swell our quota for the Settlement School fund. We are looking forward to an equally satisfying result from our sales at the Service Shop which we will conduct, April 13 and 14.
Our Founders' Day celebration is to be more than a day with our o wn active chnpter this year; we are to have Wi sconsin B and the Beloit Club with us also.

One of the most delightful meetings of the year was held in November at home of Mrs. Gislaeson. Miss Langmaid, for whom we had postponed our meeting several weeks, was with us, and recounteo her personal experiences ft.t the Settlement School in a mos t entertaining way. She outlined the work already accomplished and pointed out the unlimit'ed possibilities lor the future of the School.
Lnter in the year news from the School was agaiu brought to UI by Mrs. A. E. Jenks who with ' Professor Jenks spent the s u.mmer vacation there. They were enthusiatsic over the work and anxious to see the School expand, especially for the sake of the Americaniution work. which may be done by these trul, patriotic mountaineers, after they have been given the opportunities of education. Dr. Jenks believes they will act as 3. balance for the large foreign population oC this country.
Saturday, December 19, the alumnae gave a Christmas tree party at the h o u e for th e active chapter. In lieu o f hanging fBvors on the tree for each active girl, as the custom has been, the house was presented with a silver ('team and sugar service. together with some other needed equipment which. the active chapter joined in donating.

It is our desire to be a bl e to say this always. and to be able to say that the year that is to come will be better, fuller, Rnd mark ed with more w o rk and kind deeds for others than the O;lC that i s psst.
As ha s been our c ustom, for a number of years, we have held oor meetings on the first Fri day of every month. We w e r e f o rtunate this year in the selection that was made in the program committee. for the meetingJ h ave been very instructive, as well 3 5 interesting.
Very soon after the openi ng of the year, we h ad a mee ting to whi ch the c hapter was Plans f or ru shing were discussed and after all o f the business had been disposed of. we spent the remainder o f the afternoon in singing II so ngs, i n getting acquaint ed again, and in fact in making the chains o C IT • friendship a little stronger. Following this meeting we had one devoted to the Settlement School; and then one which was given over to a h ealth talk by one of the nur ses in charge of the Greene County Health (ion. Th e n {or a little vari ety and recreation we had a meeting which W8I s tri c tly a social affair and this we called our "b ridge and thimble party."
THE ARROW OF PI BETA PHl
Several things have taken place, since the opening of the fall term, which will make this year one to be remembered. One of these which was of vital int er est to the Pi Phis was Mrs. Allen's visit. She came primarily in fhe interest of the Settlement School, to give her splencid lecture and to show as the lovely and interesting pictures of the "Little Pigeonltj but this W:'IS not all that she accomplished in the few days that she was here. She, by her meetings wi th the active and alumn re chapters, brought us all closer together and pot us i n closer touch with our fraternity as a whole.
Another thing that has taken place that marks a step of progress in the fraternity world, is the organization in the college, of the Inler·fraternity Council, compostd of two representatives from each men's and women', fraternity, one acthe and one alumna from each. The purpose of this organita· tion is to work for the interest of college and to handle all matters of fraternity interest that may arise. 'Ve hope that this will benefit the college, the fraternities, and the individual mem"ers, and that it will tend to bring about that cooperation that is so necessary at this time.
Another organization has been formed which will have this same result, we hope, and this is the Panhellenic Association co mposed of all of the fraternity women in the city. The principal aim of this association is the promotion of high schobrship among the active chapters. T,he reward of merit is a lovingcup, to be presented each year to the chapter holding the highest st:lndard of scholarship, We sincerely hope that this will be in the possession of the Pi Phis a greater part, if not all of the time.
We pledged $10 to the Fellowship Fund and also made our pledge to the Settlement School, the money for which we raised by selling Mrs. Gutgesell'. Christmas cards and by a. rummage sale. We found the selling of the Christmas cards to be an elly and profitable way to mske money and next year we intend to go into it on a much larger scale.
Our plans for Foundersl D3Y have not been completed, but we are making arrangements to observe it in our enstomary manner and that is to join the active chapter in a formal banquet.

The Denver Alamnte Club has had an unusually locCf:llfulycar. The March meeting, which was a luncheoD held at the home of Mrs. E. H. Duil, the put president, wa•• really prbe atrair.

The first activity of our busy season was to aid Colorado B with their big rU3hing patty. It was a progressive dinner given i n five o( our beautiful bomes. The active girh were more than pleased, and assured us they have never been able t(\ give IUcb an elaborate party.

The January meeting was given over to the Settlement School, at which time the treasurer collected $243. from personal subteriplions. We (ound this system o( obtaining funds much more satisfactory than by riving a bene6t which always entail. so much labor and does not always bring the desired results.
Founders' Day will be celebrated with Colorado A. More than the usual prep!tralion is being made, and through combining the occasion with Gur regular April meeting it is expected that a larger number than has been the case in the past will mOl or to Boulder for the affair.
For the May meeting we are arranging a picnic in the mountains. in honor of our active chapter at Denver University. One of our members h.1lI kindly offered her mountain cottage for the party.

At our November meeting we were pleased to have Mrs. Ethel Allen Hamilton {rom the Toledo, Ohio, Alumnz Club. with us to tell of their work. Only recently we had as a guest oC the club, Edith Snow, now of New York.
We wcre very lorry that we, as a club. could not meet with Mr•. :rannahill " ' hile she visited the Active chapter. but the briefness of ber ,'ay in Lawrence prevented such meding. However. she gave some of her time to the advilOry b01U'11 and the.lOt'ml ,tT:; of the board felt it was a great privilege and also .n h.spiration (0 have hrard her. •
Our club has gained several neW'" members this yeu for which we a.re more than glad. bat we regret the loss of some of our old members who have moved away. These include Mrs. Will Griffith' (Ida Smith, '97), now in Ssnta Anna, Cal.; Mrs. Joseph Farrell, (Louise Smith. '95) now in San Diego. Cal.; Mrs. Roth.well Banker (Margaret Fitch, '18) now in Tulsa, Okla., and Mrs. Arthur Haskins (Tess Critchfield, 'I I) now living in Kansa. City, Mo.
''Ie have contributed to the Province Scholarship Cup and $10 to the Fellow,hip Fund, which was raised mo.tly by volunt:l.ry contributions.
The alumnae greatly appreciated being the guests of the active chapter at a delightful lun cheon and benefit bazaar given at the chapter-hoase. The girls are to be congrat ul ated on their enthusiastic work for the Settlement Scho ol at this baUM. Our contribution to the school will be made at the Founders' Oft, celebration in April. This year we have made $50 our minimum' pledge but hope to exceed. this amount. Our next luncheon will probably be the Jast meeting of the year until September.

At that time we formed plans similar to those we had used previously; division of the members into groups of five, each one of which assumes responsibility for a luncheon and meeting.

Our April meeting was devoted to election of officers and a discussion of matters of fraternal interest.

Since our membership is rathet scattered, we find the mOllt luccessful plan for meetings is a onc o'clock luncheon, followed by the regular baline and program. Our printed yearbooks containing the complete program have been of great value to us all, incidentally laving much time that would otherwise have been spent telephoning,

We were all especially busy during November, making fifty scrap books for the Settlemrnt School and selling $100 worth of Mrs Gutgesell's Christmas cards for our Settlement School fund. Washington A was also presented with a Christmas gift of $10.

Founders' nay was celebrated in conjunction with the active chapter on April 2:8 with a banquet at Dickerman's. Ii and painted programs made by the girls served 81 a happy remembrance of the day.

\Ve started this year'. program with o ur "rush" tea August 17. for the chapter. Heretofore we have had our re«ptioD at a priva.te home but this year it was held at the Berkeley T ennis Court and everyone seemed to have a good time dancing ed visiting. In September, we met in Sao FrancilCo baving tea at the Palace Hotel. OUf annual cooky-shin e at the home of Mrs. Harvey Guy afforded the diversion for our October gathering. At tbis meeting, Mrs. R oy Shurtleff, chairman of the Settlement School committee. distributed aprons snd card -table covers to be made for our bazaar which was held in November. These aprOlls and covers had been c ut out and prepared by the baz.aa.r committee and different girls took them to finish. The bazaar was of course fer the Settlement School. Always before, we have h ad our table at the active chapter', bauar but as the chapter didn't have thei n this year, the alumna: held one at the home of Mrs. R oy Shurtleff. It was something new for us to undertake and we are glad to say the o utcome was very IUCCf!ss CuI and oar only regret was that we didn ' t have more artides to se U. The booths were confined to practical apron, both for grown-ups and children and ca rd -table coven made of the unble3.ched muslin whi ch is so popular the se days.
1n D ece mber, came the II B 4t b aby party at the chapter-house. A. it Wat near the holiday season, we hnd a Christmas tree and a Santa Clau, and each little baby took hi, or her gilt for the Settlemen t School Christmas box. Our February meeting was a bene6t card party for the Settlement School and it also wa s held at the chapter-house. Both Pi Phis and their friends were invited and altogether, about one hundred and fifty attended. Two of our members, one an active girl, D oro thy Lelud, and the other, nn alumna, Wanda helped t o make the afternoon a pleasant one by playing and singing. This month, March, we combined a social and business meeting as we had the election of officers. Mrs. Roy Shurtleff was kind enoug'h to lend her h ome for the afternoon. In April, we alway. have the F ounders' Day lunch eo n in San Fran cisco. It u sually is held at the Palace Hotel an d I suppose it will be there 'hi s year but the definite arrangement. haven't made as yet.
Ma.rgaret Mills took charge of the Christmas dinnCT for the poor lamily this year. She collected about $15 with which she purchased a roast aDd groceries whi ch were delivered to the home on Christmas eve 10 that the widowed mother and her two little chi ldren had, not only a fine Christmas dinner bot groceries enough to last a iood many weeks.
Throughout the year, our president, Mrs. Frede ri c Payne , and our treasurer, Mrs . Charles Rocers, ha.ve worked on the pledges, sending notices, etc .. and have been very .uccellful in obtaining fine results. Also our active membership hal increased from forty-eia:ht last year to seventy-five this year. Let's each be an active member this comin&:, year,

We have enjoyed having with UI a number of viliting Pi Phis, eigh t or ten joining us at most of our meetings, and we are always glad to find that some of our visitors decide to r emain with u s and become members of our club.

ODe ambition of aU girls is to change their name. Since the majority of us are having a rather hard time accomplishing this ambition we decided to cbange the name of our club . There is only one member act ually residing in Fayetteville thi s year, while teD a re in Ft. Smith, so we added Ft. Smith to our Dame and held aU our meetings there.
Meetingl have been held monthly from September to June , businus and social alternating. Our club sent $S to the F ell owshi p Fund this year. We rewed $78 .:a6 at Christma. from the sale of Chri!tmas card. . We mo re than doubled

As we look back over the twelve months which have elapsed since our 1920 Founders' Oay ce lebration , we see. several achievements, perhaps not as outstanding as we pictured them a year ago, but neverthel ess worth while. We feel that some v.slue lies in the sincere effort expended.
We have been holding our meetings the fourth Saturday of each month. These gatherings have proved s uccessful not only as a means of promoting the spirit (Jf Pi Phi fellowship, but also as a means of instructing us along various subjects pertaining to the fraternity.
This year we decided that it would add more of a pe r sonal element to our Settlement School contribution, if we rai sed it by some other means than assessment. A bridge tea seemed the most feasible way. So during thl!: early faU we concentrated our efforts upon this project which was indeed a success,
Our one relll IT 4> get'togcther was the Christmas Party given during the holidays while many of our active girls were home. One of the most enjoys.ble features of the party was a real IT 4J "Song Fest" into which we aU entered whole-heartedly.
Our Founders' Day celebration was in the form of a very beautiful and impressive banquet which proved an inspiration to us A.H.
Now we are looldug forward to convention. Many of u s will not have the opportunity of going. However, our hearts are with those who will assemble at Charlevoix. We send them our best wishes for an enjoyable and helpful session.

The State Teachers' College bill which provided for a Teachers' College at the university was defeated in the house of the state legislature after easily passing the senate. This action was a great disappointment to us for the establishment of the college would have meant a greatly increased enrollment at the university.
The 4IKollege Kake Walk," Vermont's big mid-winter event in which the fraternity men put on "stunts" in competition for cups, and couples "walk to' de Kake" in truly southern manner was a huge success this year, being staged two evenings before crowded houses.

There are eight of us who will gradu3.le this June ::md for us these last two months are going to be very full.
We have accomplished one thing during the year for which we had sc:ucely dared to hope.

\Ve feel that we have b.ad quite a prosperous year and think that we have nccomplished great things. Every day we learn to like our freshmen more nod realize just what splendid girls we have. Theil from the very beginning of the year we decided to refurnish our suite. Our hopes have been realized due to our alumn::e who we think are the best 'any chapter ever had. Each individual decided to give $1, but we know that quite n few of them gave more thal!! thllt, and then each girl of th e active chapter ea rn ed a dollar to help the cause along. The results are amazing and we certainly are l) roud of our suite.
J\fClre than ever we enjoyed the visit · of o ur province president this year. We aU Know her better now and feel that we were helped a great deal in our meetings with her.
The new local fraternity Z N which petitioned A X n received a cbarter. \Ve are glad to welcome H chapter of AX n at BUCKn e ll, for with the continuous gro\\ th of our student body th ere is a pressing ne ed for mo re women's frater· nities.
One of the chief items of interest on the campus during the last month was the "isit of Mr. and Mrs. Sherwood Eddy. The meetings here lasted three days Sherwood Eddy gave his characteristic appe.11 to the student body and aroused in us a deeper sense of responsibility in this world of today As a result of his visit a better pervades this institution.
Just at present we are anticipating our Founders' Day celebration. This is the month when our thoughts naturally turn to the history of our fraternity and as we think of the many activities of our fraternity our love deepens.
In accordance with the new plan of the local PanhdJenic council, we did not bid until second Icmester. After onc day of entertRining we pledged ten fre shmen o f whom we 3rt proud, and who are now duly initiated Pi Phis.
This year has been a very successful one for Pennsylvania r, both in college and out. We ha\lc had lots of good times, for then' have been Ii number of parties. teas, dances, etc. We a r e anticipating ns a fitting climax the figel-together" banquet in Harri sbu r g, which the Lancaster alumnre club is planning ( or Founders' Day. Since we live so ne:lr, o( course ou r chapte r will 3.Uend in a b 3dy. Dr. Matzke, New York 4, is to speak; and we are happy to lay that la ter she will spend the week ·end with Uli, when she will give a tl:.ik on hCfllth to 3t1 of th e girls o( the college.
There have been several visitors at Dickinson (rom other c hapters, whom we ''fe re so glad to meet. Among them was Miss )luHor(, Florida A, who is studying music in New Vork City. She gave a splendid song recital which we all enjoyed.
This year we have sta rted a. plan which we hope wilt become an annual custom. It was decided to have a definite Settlement School drive, nnd each of 115 ha.s pledged to earn our share of money (or it. We want to see who will earn the most mo ney by April 28. We have investigated every possible way of earning pennies. A number o( girls made cake, candy, bread and rolls, and sold them at the "market" one S:lturday morning. It was so successful that we are going to do it again. Our patronesses, and other friends in town have helped the cause by finding many little tasks for us We hope to report a goodly lum for the School.

So much has happened since our last letter that we hardly know how to begin to tell you about it. First of all we must introduce to you Qur eight new Pi Phis. Initiation was held at Heinz. House, on the campus, followed by a banquet at the Hotel Schenley.
Then following close upon initiation came the visit of Miss Clark, our Provin c e President. who wa s surely a great pl e a s ure and inspirati on to u s nIl. \Vhi)e she was h ere Mrs. C. R. Branson, one of our gave a tea for our ch::J.pler and our m o thers which was enjoyed. There was !\Jso a Panhellenic party at this time, given at Heinz House, which we all felt helped to create of a spirit of fellowship and cooperation among the women's fraternities a! "P itt."
Our active chapter and the alumnre gave n benefit bridge party for the Settlement School. We contributed $25 as our share.
Florence Waddell, Maryland A, is s1udying at the university this semester and we are very glad to have her with us.
We are planning to have our formal dance April 2Q. and on April 30, we expect to celebrate Founders' Day with the alumnre. by a banquet at the University Club. We have invited a representative from each chapler in our province to be with us at this time.
We are sorry that there 3re only two months more before the end Ilf the term, but we feel upon reviewing the year that it has been a very happy nnd profit::J.ble one. There hnve been great changes at "Pitt," with the installation of our new chancellor, and the opening of alumnre hall this month. Then our Pan hellenic has decided upon a new system for membership campaigning that is to go into eHect next year. There will be none of the so called ''hectic rush.ing" but the forming of normal friendships during the first semester with Eecond semester bidding. We feel that this plan is greatly superior to the ones we have used before and we expect to get splendid results from it next year .
We Jike all other Pi Phis, are eagerly anticipating convention, and we know that it win be a new inspiration and incentive to us in our college and fraternity life.

We were more than fortunate in having Miss Clark. our Province President, with us for our initiation ceremony and banquet which was held at the chapter-house February 18, 1921. We enjoyed every minute of her visit with us and are endeavoring to profit by her criticisms and suggestions. During her visit we were hostesscs at a Panbellenic tea by means of which she met the majority of the fraternity girls in the University. K K r cooperated with us in entertaining Miss Clark, and we were glad to be able to return this courtesy by having as our dinner guest Miss Lawrence, National Secretary of K K r.
The membership campaign for the second semester was a rather quiet matter, but we pledged Jennie Cairns, Charleston, W. Va., and Evangeline Henderson, Moundsville, W. Va., tw:o very attractive freshmen girls.
The Y. W. C. A. is becoming more active .t the university and we are doing our belt to strengthen the organiution. One of our members, M.srtha Thompson, was elected to the Y. W. cabinet.

June is fast approaching and one of the surest sibms of spring is to see OUT seniors whispering together about commencement, graduation dresses, and such things. And looking back on Ihis yeaT, as a whole, we feel that Virginia B has, in & general way, been very successful. Scholastically, we feel that we have progressed, in that nll out" pledges (or this year will have been initiated, and in that we have a1 t succeeded in the task of raising the chapter :wernge. In a socia l way, we have enjoyed many different affairs. We are all anticipating the banquet at the end of the year as a sort of "grand finale."
We have been fortunate in receiving visits from several of our old members, and, altho ugh we have three of our sophomores, Mildred Bates, Selena Reeder and Gretchen Stamats, we have recently acquired two new pledges, Elizabeth Kennedy, '23. from Ohio, and Belle Temple Nllsh. '24. from Texns. so we have pr:l.Ctically retained our o riginal number
We seem to have "held o ur own" in various class activities. as well as being represented in athletic, dramatic. literary, Y. W. C. A. and student government work. The elections for next year came out favorably for II with Constance . Echols, '22. as editor-in-chief of the Hol/i"$ lSfagasi1le, and Mary ThomAS. Cox, '22 as busincSIl manager. Brown ':12, WAS elected und e rgraduate representative of the Y. W_ C_ A., and Louise Huger, '23. holds the office of secretary of that organization. Mnrinn I[ owe, '22, is president of next year's senior class.
Panhellenic affairs have rtln quite smoothly, with practically no itlterfraternity friction. The organization has been responsible for various takings, this year, the c hi ef nmong them being the formntion of :1. new fraternity.

Sin:e t)lIr last chapter lettcr Wisconsin A has gahled another pledge of whom we are very proad, Katherine Porte r , of Oak Park, Ill. W e enjoyed the visit of Mrs. Rugg very much and appreciated th e s uggestions which she gave us. Now that it is almost the end of the year, the girh are a\l beginning to look back and count up the gains and losses of the past month s. All chapters of women'. Crate rn ities at Wisconsin have been smaller than they were last year, because the forty or fifty i.n each group last year were fl little unwieldy. Out of the Panhellenic trouble whi ch we had this fall over the manner by which one fraternity obtained members, we nre hoping to deve l op 11 new system which will be better for everyone.

Now that the Easter vacation has passed there is truly VHy little time before June and the summer holidays.
We were delighted to have Mrs. Rugg with u s (or a few days some time ago and the ideas and inspirations which she gave us hnve been of great help. \Ve enjoyed knowing her.
Knox. like many other co lleJtes of the Middle West, was grieved to h ea r of the sudden death of Dr. Gunsaulus, the l ate president of Armour Institute. We were very fortunate in having him for our spenker on Founders' ol\Y, whi ch came a very short tim e before his death. Our Harvard exchange professor. Professor Forbes. is now at Knox delivering a series of very interest· ing Icctures on enrly Italian and Flemish 3rt.
Our nre sponsors for a II 4> benCht which is to be given in th e Renr future in the nature of a dancing party to raise money fOl the Settlement School.
It has indeed been a very full year both in fraternity and college circles. Knox has completed a $50,000 Student Endowment campaign whic h is a p:lrt of the $i5o,ooo Endowment raised as a memorial to Professor H e rbert E. Griffith who was the head of the chemistry department at Knox: for twenty three yean. We have also opened up a new men's dormitory, Lym:m K. Seymour hall, in which many of the social events of the college are now held. Our football and basketball seasons have closed with numerous Knox victories. Most of the new fraternity houses are being built rapidly a.nd are scattered along the outskirts of the campus.
We are all anticipating many good times in these next two monlhs of beautiful spring weather. including Founders' Day Banquet, our spring parly and many cooky·shines.
Although we are sorry that the closing of school is 10 near yet we are happy when we realize Hat it is bringing UI closer to convention and a happy week at Charlevoix:. AILUS KII.LY.

Qut of the mnny and v.nied interests at the Univenity of Illinois, without doubt, the $IO,SOO,OOO university appropriation bill now before the 51 ale legisill' turf! ltands foremost. Dttause of the rapid growth of the university and the IIsual high costs and war conditions, there is vital need of new equipment and salaries. The drive {or the new Ml"mnrial Stadium is soon to be launched nnd everyone is working hard on the committees. Illin ois Z hu suhscribed $1,000 for a column in the Court of H onor. This entitles us to :l block of twenty seats for the next ten years.

Jt seem. that Iowa r mu.t have at least one fire a year. La.t sprin, we bad two small tires tbe same night and this year is no exception {or OD Saturday afternoon F ebrury 19. almost the entire roof and third Roor o{ oar house were hadly burned. We were preparing to give a dinner dance at six o'dock at the chapter-hoase tbat night aad the fire was discovered at four. The tables were all set willa the first course and the house was decorated and ready for the party when someone called "fire." People came from everywhere and in a very few minutu all the furniture and all our clothes bad been taken oat of the house and thrown on the front lawn. Before the fire was out the college bad offered us a. a temporary borne a cottage wbich they keep for such emergencies.
Our alumnae have done much to help u.. Mrs. Julia Stanton. '88. and MilS Maria Robert., 'I}O. worked until late that night and all day Sunday helping u. find our scattered clothe. and to get resettled. Mrs. Knapp, '84, who live. ned door, oft'ered her house as a dumping place for furniture and clothe •. The .6 9 fraternity gave their hOtl5e to w for oar dance and at eight o'dock that Digbt we gave our belated party, minus the first course of dinner.
The insurance company gave us $6,oeo on our house and $1500 on our furnihire and now the bouse is being entirely remodeled with a chapter room on the third fJoor _ Miss AIda WillOn, '95, drew up the plan. and has taken charge of the work. Some rooms are enlarged and all the ceilings, .all., woodwork and floors lire redecorated and refinished. Fireproof shin,le. are being put on the roof, which has been changed and brought forward in .front. With the insurance from the furniture we are buying a MasonHamlin baby-grand piano. dining-room chairs and tablel, curt.in. and drapes, for the liring-room. new silver and dishes, and furniture (or the chaperon'. room.
The house will prebably be finished so that we can move in by the middle of Aprq, Iln!i we will be 10 glad to be able to eat at home again! Since we have in J:he Gottage we have had to eat in one o( the dormitories a. block away .

A. to activities. Marvel Secor, '24. has been elected ¥tCretary of V. W. C. A. and Anna Dowell. '23, is treasurer of women's guild. Ann and Beth Wood , ' n, and Helen Budd.

':a3. has been elected u Big Sister Chief for next year.
Our chapter life this year has been well organized. We have spent a happy year together and we know that next year with our new initiates we will be even happier. We ue very proud o( our pledges who stand first in their average as compared with the other freshmen of both the men's and women's fraternities on the campus. Each week they have had their meetings (or (raternity study and pa ssed the examination with honors. Now they are planning their annual May morning breakfast given to the other pledges on the campus.
We hope to be settled in our new bome by Founders' Day, 10 tbat we may have our banquet there. 'Ye are snticipating initiation May 14, (or it will be the first one to be held in our new chapter room.

Mi!ls Onken'. visit was an inspiration to us. \Ve conside red it particularly fine in having her for initiation. We are all interested in convention and quite a rew of the chap ter are planning to go. Founders' Day is drawing near, f.r which we are making plans. This. too, will inspire us to go to convention.

By the time that this of the Auow yoa, vacation will have beglln, and co llege days will be over (or three or our memben. Although the number is small, it i. in good proportion to the sit-e of the c lass, which is unusually small this year. To co unt er -balance the l oss of o ur seniors, we have initiated thirteen pledges of whom we are very p r o u d. W e hope that mOit of them will be back next year.
W e fed. as we draw near to tm close of the year, that it has been a very successfu l one from the standpoint of :lnti-fralemity and in In-fraternity spi rit. At a Panhellenic banquet given a short time ago, the women's fraternities organized a scholuship coolf'sl for a loving cup . Tn co mbating the antifraternity spi rit which Wa.i rife at Ihe first or the year, we h ave dra.wn closer to -each other and the inter-fraternity spiril has und o ubtedly been strengthened. Althqugh th e scholarship of the (raternity women is high er than that of the non -frate rnity women, there is room (or improvement among us and we. as Pi Phi,s, intend 10 work very hard to achieve a high level.
Since the unive rsity opened in the (dl, we have i nitiated eight sophomores. two juniors. a nd e l even freshmen. n 4> has been unusually well represented in college :lctivities. A mAjority of the Klee club members are Pi Phis; as :lre also the president. and other officers fo r both semesters. W e hold the following other positions: of woman 's league, and vice-president of the seniM class. AmeJia Ruxton, '21, is editor of the college paper, with three other Pi Phis on the staff; two are on the slaff of the S OM'wule,., o ur co llege annual; four on Y. W. C. A. cab in et; five on executive committee of the woman's league; four student assislants; and two in the senior class play .
O ur soci 1 life has been m:s.de up this year of at the home. of diffe rent members at whi.ch we gather for a socia l time. \Ve had one big dance in Decrmber and will have another in May. W e have a lre:ldy begun plans f o r o ur Found ers' Day 8nnquet.

The multitude of interests claiming our attention this spring is keeping Kan9tUi A in a litate of perpetual activity and enthusiasm. At present, fraternity spirit on the campus i. enlivened by a girls' inler'org!tniution basketball lournament, with a cup as the goal. Our record so far gives Kansas A a splendid chance to win, although the outcome will depend upon continued determination and hard playing. Mary Helen Hamillon, our captain and a new initiate, has been taking an active part in university athletics. Politics also helps fill our daily program; the rl!(:ent W. S. G. A. election gave Dorolhy Stanley the office of president, one of the most responsible positions among women's activities on the campus.
In Y. W. work, n 4» is represent ed by Irene Boyer, Leona Baumgartner, and Anne Suderman, who are on the cabinets. Irene Boyer also had one of tMleads in The Imporlanu 0/ Bei"K Ea,,"ull a successful produ ction of the K. U. dramatic club. Later this club toured the state with that play (or ten days. Nor, have we ianored social obligations, for although we have not recognized formally the shrine of Terpsi chore (or many years, we were hostesses to sister Greeks and student friends at a dance this spring and enjoyed the privilege of extending hospitality to those beyond the circle "f prospective members and escorts.

We have been more th&D fortunate in beginning the new term with the initiation of ten pledeel, who have already become indispensable to the chapter, and are taking an active interest in all pbases of college life. After initiation, the new members were honored with a banquet at the Oriental. Several of our alumnm: were present.
All fraternities in the nnivenity are especially interested just now in the question of houses for ned year. The universi ty is doiag every thin, possible to encourage building, and bas offered to lease lots on the campus f o r nine years. Both the men'. and women'. fraternities are working in selecting the .ight and planning II fraternity row."
THE ARROW OF PI BETA PHI
Our own local Pnnheltenic bas recently conceived the idea. of building a walk as a short cut to our new pharmacy. Each fraternity sells sandwiches or ice-cream in turn, and the proceeds .sre contributed to this project. By the time the last three have done their part, we will have enough to complete the w:lllc.
In our own chapter we were very proud to have our trellJurer, H attie Stokes, elected as president of the Y. W. C. A. {or next fur. At tbe conferen ce at Estel Park lail year, two of the three university representatives were Pi Phis. and the n ew president will go again tbis summer .
Our first initiate for this yenr has more than lived up to our greatest expect:!lioDS. Mrs. Prentice Terry (Edith Bonz) is now working with her husband to relieve the terrible co nditions in Budapest. Some of her letters in the DalltU NC'Ws have helped to give u s some idea of what she is accomplishing.
Last Wednesd ay the chapter attended the wedding or Uora Cullum who has been acth' e in the chapter for the past two years. Her husb:md, Mr. Robert Thompson, is a Shriner. and is in the insuraDce business in O a Uss. They will live on Gaston Avenue for the present.
Our alumnae ha.ve just held a successful bazaar for the benefit of Little Pigeo n. Each member of the club made certai n contributions, and orders tak.en for bukets. in addition to the articles for sale.
We have just elected Hatti e Stokts as convention delegate. and other of the cbapter are trying to arrange to go. We are all very much interested and hope that a great many Pi Phis will be able to attend.

A beautiful big plantation home was turned over to us, and we enjoyed every Jl];inute spent there. Miss Mary Butler, one of our alumna: and a member of the faculty, chaperon ed the party, and it was a great pleasure to hue her with us. Nearly all of the actives and were able to attend, making the house-party a grand success.
We have h3d two enjoyable open meetina-s since the last l ette r They were helel on Saturday nights, at the homes of Alice De Buys and Madeleine
Marjorie Hay bas been e1e<:ted to A 1:. the senior society which stands for aU -round college spirit. Dorothy Felker has been made Js.mbalaya representntive for the sophomores, and a member of the J{ ul/abaloo staff. Perinne Dixon. one of our pledges, has re<'entiy been elected president of the freshman clan.
We &reo eagerly anticipating the alumnae banquet to be held in bonor of oor (ounders. We are preparine- stunts from each d.lI, and hope to make the occas ion exceptionally lively,
\Ve are taking great interest in getting up • n 41 memory book, which we expect to lend to convention. Hattie Buller and Corinne Hopkins, who take in book*binding, are making the book, and the rest of us are savinI' and collecting everything of interest to put in it.
lt is imponible to believe that convention is almost here! Juanita Ball will represent Louisiana A and many more of OJ hope to be present at that great gatbering.
The yrar has proved a splendid one (or Louisiana A, as conditions have improved very much, and we have twelve perCecdy splendid pledges. We hue Dot forgotten how fortunste we were in having a visit from our GrandPresident!
This year has been an improvement over l ast year, for fraternity l i fe at Newcomb. The fraternities ha.ve made a special effort to cooperate with the college a.utborities. and at prucn t there docs not seem to be u great a degree of opposition aa formerly. The problem of fraternity rooms will be wIved next year w e think, for we hope to have a Panhellenic house. The fr a ternities are making effort now, to find a house that will be suitable.

As an experiment this yeu we tried keeping canteen in the house, and it has proved 10t h a success that we have decided to establish it permanel'ltly. The canteen supplies consist "of various kinds of individual candies, etc .• and the pro6ts iO to the house fund.

The Editor of The Lyre of Alpha Chi Omega voices a feeling which is sbared by an officers who have done inspection work:
We wiab tbat we might urle college women who allow co llele men to mODopoli:te their time (or even .edt .uch monopo1iution), before tbey bue gODe for-ever from the realm of their college ela,a, t o consider just what they are toaing. We believe thoroughly in co·education, but we also believe that it ahoukl mean .ametbi nllr more than a peni l tent round of leuona and "datel." The frienda hipa formed in the inti· DlIICy of the fr ate mity, and the fellow ship lained throuab other coltele organiutionl will never a,ain be duplicated, "but men go on forever-." One may hive "date." until one rcachCl the ale of spinster-hood, which are little different from those o f one'. colk,e days.

"The Listener" in the Bollon Transcript contributes these extract. hem a recent paper by Dr. Charles Eliot, President - Emeritus of Harvard University:
One of the thinal that Preaident Eliot did in hia recent addresl on '"The Influence of Women on the Mannen and Customs of Men," delivered before the Society of Har"ard Damea and pubti.hed in the ,U ",", B IlII'. , was to reestabliah and rehabili· tate the word "lady." That alto,ether charming word bu been in bad standin, latel,. So many people miau.ed it, sayin, "lad," in a manner of affectation where the, sbould have said "woman," that it has been brou,ht near to rejection a!to,ether. It would have been a pity to di l ule the word where ita ule il aue. President Eliot aee. thia, and NYI in hia addreu that "in our American democracy a luau of

I poet to tet that truth fo rth adequately," Enou,h; with Uele word, we fed ouraelves in the pretence Dot only of the noblut of women, but the nobkst of American women, which is Ayin, all that can be n.id on the lubject.

"\Ve are liviD.," Dr. Eliot AY., "i n the time. when tbe .i,ion of the t...dy bu been finelt and oflen el t real i ud." That i. to say, we are .ctually livin, in the aae of c.hinhy-tbe rnl ale of cbiuJry; that a,e of Mary Queen of SCO tS, of tbe Load,. o f the Clove, and even of tbe Fair Lady of Tripoli, was a apur iou l I,e of chivalry. Thele Ire the time. that aroe producing not on ly the inDuentia! woman bu t the ,ood woman. When we who are alive today are III dead, and another leneration hal come upon the !CeRe, the people will be wriling poeml about our great women of thi l epo<:h; it would be invidious to mention now the names of any, even of those who are dead ; but the unborn lenerations wi ll find them out. ]f one could look ahead into the literature of tbat leneration, and lee the names of the women to whom their poem. will be written, one would be lurprised.
But Dr. Eliot do.s not find the mannen o f our period altoletMr c.hivalrous. He marvell at the rudenell of men who take a lirl to drive and Imo'ke on the way. But that i not th e worst he leel. He wonders tb at youn, women do not Hem to relent ,rOil milConduct toward them on tbe part of their male associatel. And thil, t o people of moderate and fairly old· fashioned demeanor, i. amazin,: "You bue a1l bOWD," he Ayt, "youn, women to be seized upon during a dance by intoxicated men, under tbe new custom called 'cuUin, in.' That has happened within my ran,e of acquaintance o,..e r and over aaain in dancel in private housel in Boston " Thil is hideou. . It may also be true . It belps one to realil;e that tbe Lady must come ou t of an order of lOCiety more democratic than that to whieh fuhionahle loeidy belon,s. It doe. not invalidate democracy. 1t it. We thall have to ehoolC our Ladie. from amon, lirh Ind women who have some choice as to wbom they dance wilh. And if women will not exercise I choice to the men with wbom they luociate, the men must. and undou b :edly will, exercise: a choice as to tbe women wilh whom the y will anociate. And the Lady will live on.
Broadly speakin" the fault is n OI witb American young men. That they a re chivalrou., Dr. Eliot proved with hia tory, from. Freneh source, about. French woman wbo, bein, under the neechi t,., durinl the war, of sendin, her daulhter from the country to Paris. put her into a railway compartment witb four American private IOldiert.
