experience of dKiding which Irail to venture--the old or the new. Sometimes the older, steeper, rougher trail brought us fiut to the.{ork and IOmellmeli it was the new.

O ld Mother Hubbard. She wellt to the Cupboard
To get her a cup of tea; When she got there, Said she, "I declare! Such eats I never did lee!"
Madame Hubbard is only a prologue to my tale, and I do hope she is not too suggesth'c of an empty cupboa rd. You see, we advertise, "The Corner Cupboard is never bare!"
Did you eve r think that some day you mi gh t start a tea house?
Or perhaps you've had a different so rt of day dream. Hav e you ever thought that some day you'd like to take up a homes tead of plenty of pine trees , a talking c r eek, and a towering m o untain fo r stage properties?
If you've ever had such attacks of imagination you may be inter es ted in the Corne r Cupboa rd and in Rhone's Roost in Kawuneec he Valley .
Most storics end with a honeymoon.

we ventured over the half-completed Fall River Road and our vision of the country on the othe r side of Milner Pass. then and there we decided that we should stay forever. caught Right
Investigation proved for us that there were few hotels on the Hother side" j that there were only two or three ranch resorts , and no tea houses; that the completed Fall River Road would lure thousands of automobiles down over Milner Pass to Grand Lake, and on ove r Berthoud Pass back to Denver. All winter we planned, and planned. In the spring we went adventuring. \ 'Ve filed on 160 acres of mountain scenery in the Kawuneec he Valley, nine miles up the Fall River Road from Grand Lake, and a little over thirty from the village of Estes Park. That quarter section of scenery offered all the desired stage properties for an ideal homestead: the Rocky Mountain National park for a front yard; the Arapahoe National Forest for a back yard; plenty of pine trees to furnish romance and atmosphere and incidentally to build a log house j and two mountain streams. Baker Creek and the North Fork of the Co lorado near it s sou r ce, to furnish drinking water, mountain trout, o r Nature's own music-whichever one's soul or body demands. With the site for our home selected, we turned ou r attention to business. \¥ e leased an old nve -Toomed shack ca lled The Grand L ake I ce Cream Parlor, a half block from the lake on the Main Street of Grand Lake VilIage. That shack was surely hopeless , but the lak e wasn't. You'll agree •... hen you once see Old Baldy shouldering away the l esse r mountains in Grder to see himself in the water; o r the mountai n s of the jagged Neyer Summer Range standing on tiptoe to the Northwest. adding their r eflection opposite to that of Baldy. o r E cho M ountain r eaching down to the waters edge. every pine tree disco \'ering its double in the water's depth.
Now fOT the bare Cupboard. If you could have seen it three years ago you cou ld n't have doubted its past. Its joists fairly cr eaked with the memory of the days when it served for a hotel, when th e country up our homestead valley was in the throes of a silver-mining ,/ boom, when scores o f adventurers were flocking to the Never Summer Range in hopes of finding sudden wealth.
You see, it was built back in '81, two years before the historic murder of co unty officers referred to as "the big shootin' It; the soda fountain room was Grand Lak e's first schoolhouse-but why go on
with this ancient history? You want to know how we made a tea house out of it.
Layer upon layer of d!rty IVall paper with th e dust of decades had to be tom from its cobwebhed moorings and repla ced with plain gray paper. The accumulated dirt of years had to be scraped and scrubbed from floors and hasehoards j literally gallons of clean gray paint were needed in the process of transformation. And even more white paint for the woodwork and cupboa rds. Such cleanliness prompted us to sudde n extravagances. \ Ve ordered froni The Denver A rt Pottery a supply of blue pottery dishes, the most exquisite shade you ever saw; lavender shades of the co lumbin es when they fi r st open in the depths of aspen-co\'\:!red hillsides a r e hidden in the blue of cup and teapot. Then c ret onne for our windows. You'll think it a littl e dingy this year, and we can' t rep l ace it until nex t summer when we enlarge ou r dining-room and re-dt!corate, but three yea r s ago it left nothing to he desired. lts blue, its yellow, its tou ch of r ose, and its background of black did much to give an air to the old place. A Denver second-hand merchant Tubbed his hands in g lee when at one fell swoop he disposed of the o ld saloon tables he had expected t o be white e lephant.:; forever . \V e cove red them snug l y with white sanitas of t he. breakfast room va r iety. A combina tion of oil paints and white ename l , stencil patterns and hou rs of work made them gay eno ugh fo r any weathe r. Blue and yel10w and bl ack, t he designs to harmonize w ith curta in s and dishes
But goodness, don't let me fo r get the kitchen. A second-hand hote l range, a whiskey barrel, an old store counter for a pastry table, and a geni u s to p r eside a t the baking powder can.
Do n't sta rt a mountain tea r oom without some such combination. \Vh y th e whiskey barrel? 'V e il , you see Mr. Hu sband, needed it for amateu r plumbing \V ith rubber hose and handy pipe he co nnected it in some mira c ul ous fashion to the stove, so that we cou ld always have a ba rrel of hot dish water .

And t he Corner Cupboard wa..; ready for guests. The oven of the range gave forth its own all ur ements, the whiskey ba rr el steamed me rrily, and Mr. and Mrs. Cubbu r d turpentined the paint off their hands and fa ces and sent forth ca rds of invitation to the people of Grand l.ake to the ope nin g of th e C uphoa rd doors. Bits of rhyme such as this:

were attached t o the invitations Th e summer cottage r s around the l ake, the homesteaders and ranchers, the villagers responded, and the ca reer of the Corne r Cupboard had begun: In the beginning we planned to serve only tea and li gh t lunches, but in answer to demands of hungry motorists we added a steak dinner to our menu. I f you had driven all day over mountain roads you'd want something more than tea and cinnamon toa3t; you'd be muc h happier with a large ju icy steak , a s tuffed baked potato, a spicy tomato jelly salad, butte r ed peas, homemade rolls , piping hot , and fresh apple pie such as only Mrs S co tt can make. But if you were a co ttager and your fire went out, you 'd drop into the Cor ner Cupboard for a piece of fudge cake or assorted sandwiches and a pot of Orange Pekoe tea. And if you were attending a dance at the Community House across the st reet, o r the clubhouse of the Yacht Club down on the lake shore, you'd rather slip in between dances for a coco cola or a lemonade or Peach Melba. You know, it's a marvel to me that all stomach specialists are not millionaires , when I co nsider the quantities of r ich fudge cake with nut-filled oozy fr os ting I've baked in one summer
That first summer would have come to a happy conclusion in a debtor's prison if we had depended entirely on FalJ River Road tourists. There weren't any. The road wasn't completed. But the cottagers were kind to us, and the villagers weren't blind to us, and when on September 15, we repaired with a cookstove, a tent and a mattress to our homestead, we were already planning for the 1921 season.
The magic of September and October made camping on the creek bank pleasant indeed, except, of course, when one first shivered out of bed in the morning, Four forked sticks driven into the ground furnished a bedstead j some planks from an old sluice box used by some miner forty years ago furnished flooring for the kitchen corner of our habitation. Even the first snowstorm didn't cast great gloom over our household. A weighty matter, deciding upon the site for our cabin. The nearness oC water, the farness of the view, and the shelter of a south·east hillside determined our choice, and "Mr. Cuhburd," and a neighbor from down the valley started felling trees for the cabin. If you've never heard the trees come crashing down, the very trees that are going to be builded into your home, you've missed a thrill that nothing else will ever give you.
But I couldn't stay to see the completed cabin. My career, seconded by rather a flat purse, sent me back to South Denver High School, where I speak weightily of the influence of \V illiam Shakespe r e upon modern drama, and the modern tendencies in the short story. I'll wager I splash more red ink o\'er more misspelled words in one winter than any II 4> in these our United States. And in the mean· time my husband carpentered, trapped, and studied in solItary activIty. He snowshoed to the telephone, for an expensive chat now and then, and al last the winter passed.
June saw us at work again, plumbing, carpentering, and interior decorating with all our might. The whisky barrel, which by this time had lost its suggestion of a past, had to be removed to the s id e hill back of the kitchen and made self filling, with only a hot water faucet above the dish table to gi\'e evidence of ou r novel water system. The partition had to be removed between the two small rooms off the main dining·room, in order to provide a larger addi· tional dining-room entered by an archway Our miscellaneous assortment of fu rniture needed attention. Three or four dozen stout

wooden chairs with a military past journeyed to Grand Lake, and presented themselves for beauty treatments. Three coats of black enamel, a blue line decoration, and 3. yellow and blue treatment of back panels, and you'd never kno)\' they once saw service in the army barracks at Fort Logan. The table legs beneath the white sanitas tops r eceived the same treatment; a gateleg table was added to ou r collection, and decorated with a nasturtium design; and we ceased to l ook quite so much like an accident. We added pictures to give a homey look j bits of l andscape gay with autumn coloring. a motto o r two that one wishes to read more than once, a few fine mountain and lake photographs from 'Vilbur Wiswall's Color Shop up the street. Then we awa it ed the summer tourist with tragi c expectancy. But the r ains descended and the floods carne . The new Fall River Road and the Berthoud Pass Road were sloughs of despond all summer long. and it was not until the Ya cht Club held its annual August regatta at Grand Lake that we breathed easy again. beyond the fear of irate creditors. I add these little details to dispel the allusion that tea rooms are a source of pleasant occu · pation to artistic natures and an immediate and prolific inc r ease to one's bank account.
Then came a repetition of the winter w ith months of snowbound solitude for IIMr . Cubburd" and an equal number of red-ink ones for the Corne r Cupboard Lady, as the village children ca ll me . But just the same we bought the Corne r Cupboa rd , with the two, fifty by one hundred feet lots upon which it stands. And last summer we attacked the exte ri o r of it. I used to be so ashamed of that ramshackle old porch with its sagging roof. The pleasant interi or was about as much consolation as a good heart is to a very homely woman.
Last summer we added a large well-built kitchen; a new porch with attractive windows the length of it; a main entrance with doors that no longer sag. 'V e covered the whole building with s labs , so that its snug rustic exterior belies its past as much as its table filled interior. gleaming with tall pottery candle sticks and bright with yellow candles and flower filled pottery bowls, contra· dicts the memory of the Grand Lake Tee Cream Parlor.
When you leave convention for a trip to Grand Lake you'll be as thrilled as we were by your first glimpse of Kawuneeche Valley. I like to call it by it s old Indian name, though the newer maps call
it the valley of the North Fork of the Colorado. As you come down over Milner Pass you'll see a long, narrow, valley. Two peaks in the Never Summer Ran ge across the valley are particularly distinct and snow-capped. Our homestead is at the (oot of the nearer one, Baker. Your descent into the valley will be just onc breathless hairpin curve after anothe r , and you'll be a littll' relieved when you get safely down. You'll pass Squeaky Bob's ranch resort, and drive on down the ,-alley, \Vhen you pass a sign reading IIBaker Gulch Trail" you'll be directly oppos ite our homestead. You'll probably no t he able to see the cahi n because of the trees, for it is on the hillside a half mile from the road. You wouldn't think it much of a home if you did see it, I suppose. I wanted to call it Kawuneeche L odge. but its size and location ch ristened it immediately. "Rhone's Roost." But some day. when you have another conve ntion in the Roc ky "M ountai ns ; well, just you wait!
It 's ours now. anyway, for last C hristmas , Uncle Sam sen t us a patent to it. Last fall, when the season was over, and we had reo turned from ou r horseback trip to Spirit Lake , we found Roost waiting for us in all its fall setting of aspen hillsides and pine-tree background. An hour's trout fishing, after a half day of hard work c learing trails, burning brush, and building fire -b reaks. gave us, I imagine, something of the pioneer's pride in providing his own food and eating it within wal1s erected hy his own hands. There's a funny little thrill about it, anyway.
But to go back with you, down the valley. You'll pass Bowen Gulch Trail, and wonder a bit, at the similarity of the two peak'S. Baker and Bowen. Perhaps your driver will tell you something of the mining boom of the eighties up the gulches. Or maybe he'll point out to you the location of a long -dese rted mining town . Gaskel, where only sunken foundati o ns mark the saloon, the cabin . the boarding hO\1se of fronti er days. The trees hide the town -s ite f rom you , however
If you stop, finally, at Grand Lake Lodge, you'll get your first glimpse of the lake and the village r oo fs a mile away from the wide porch of the lodge. Then when you make your first trip to the lak e sho r e, you'll pass the very Cupboard doors on you r way (rom the village street to the boat landing. Give the II cJ:! whistle, and if I'm not fudging a cake or doing someth in g from which I'm
equally ine xtri c able , I'll be ri gh t out, with a megaphone if n eed be, to P;Qint out to you "the scenic wonde r s of these, our Rocky M ou ntains ," How ever, if cooks, waitresses, and dish-washers show no migrat ory tendencies o n t he f:ve of co nvention, I ' ll see you all in Estes Park the la st week in Jun e.

D ear Pi Ph is:
As Assistan t Dir ec t o r of the Pasad e na Community Pl ayhouse, I am ca ll ed upon to answe r i nnumerable inquiries in r ega r d to every phase o f ou r organization, and it occurred to me r ecent l y that you active co ll ege gi rl s and you a lumn :e concerned with t hi n gs cu ltur a l, ed ucati ona l , socia l and pleasu r able. mi ght find some inte r est in hearing abou t what has come to be known as t he mode l i nstitu tio n of its kind in th i s co untr y.
Th e in cept i on of our Pl ayhouse as a Commu nit y Organization goes back to the fall of 19 17 , when a f ew co urageous Drama Leagu ers sponsored our fir s t produ c ti ons. I t was r ea l pio n ee r work j people were not converted to th e Com munity idea; the word "am atetu" ca lled f o rth in the minds of most people, visions of the high school and co lle ge "ho rrors" in wh ich they had once participated. The on l y available theater was an old bu rl esque h ouse with every imagina b le inconvenience j poorly he::tted, poorly ventilated, poorly lo cat ed and with a shoddy r eputation into the ba r gain \Vith th ese hand icaps it is easy to understand wh y ou r fir s t a udi e nces were small j anywhere fr om eight to sixty sh iv e r ing peop le i n a house whose seating capacity is four hundr ed nin ety. F o r with practically no funds for produ c tion expense, econo my must perforce extend across the f oot lights. H ea ting the building became a matter of secondary consideration , but the mos t ardent audience will congeal by ten -thirty P. M. in a cold playhouse r ega rdl ess of the play Well
do I remember our weekly trips when we installed and carried our own heating plant i a hot water bottle carefully disguised in a patriotic knitting bag. my partner and I sharing its comfo rting warmth by Acts; Act 1 to her, Act 2 to me, etc. .. . .
The first influenza epidemic would have caused our sudden demise had it not been for a heaven -sent gift of two thousand dollars from a woman whose interest and faith were great. Credit and a bank account are a panacea for al\ ill it seems, and it was not long before our anaemic-looking enterprise grew round and Tudd\' . r t seems preordained that all seekers and purveyors of Art must struggle. The way to glory is blocked many
times j Dragons of Poverty, Public Opinjon and Commercial Competition are to be met at every turn, but these all tend, finally, toward a solidarity that means mu ch for permanent growth,
We are now closing our sixth year of uninterrupted activity; two productions every month, each runn ing for one week, with one Saturday matinee, Occasionally a very popular play will run a second week but our program is so full that we cannot often take advantage of this 'Ibox office opportunity."
We are not an "Art" or "Little Theater," but a real Community Playhouse, striving to reach and interest every type of person one might find in any average American city. Our program for one year covers the entire field of Drama, ranging from gayest farce to /'

blackest tragedy. Among our r ecent p roductions have been such plays as Clare Kummer', Go o d Gracious Annab"le,. Salisbury Field', Wedding Bells ,. Geo r ge Middleton', P olly with a Past ,. Shaw's Arms alld Ihe ,lIan ) and AnJrocles and tlte Lion)' Pinero's Trelaumey of tire r¥elfs and /-/ is f/ ouse in Order j Sheridan's School for S candal,. Moody', Th e Great Divide,.

OUT Shakespearian r ecord is high. I n our six years of work we have produced ten plays, ea ch running f r om seven to fourteen performances. They are T v:"fth Ni!1itl , The Tempest, Th e Merry If'ivu of H/ indsor.. Th e Taming of the Shre w.. i11uch Ado about Notbing A il1idsumlner Nighrj' Dream, The Co m edy of Errors Kin g L ear, As Y Oli Like It , and Lov e's Lab ours Lost. In the production of our Shakespearian dramas and all other plays for that matter, our audiences are seeing the best and newest things in stagecraft. Ou r K ing Lear was an of what is being done abroad in startling exp ress io nism and while it brought down on o ur ambiti ous heads a great deal of local cr iticis m during its e le ven performances, it seems after all to h ave bee n the o uts tanding production o f the year in so far as O UT nat io nal r ep utati o n is con cerned \V e a r e still receiving co mm endation from a wide vari e ty of sources for ou r spir it in app lyin g the exp ressi onistic stage setting to the class ic drama. Surely there is n o better test. If there is anything of p erman en t value in these new id eas of s ta gec raft their application to a drama such as L r ar ought to vivify the starkness of its tragedy. Th ough we have n eve r neen able to increase th e size o f our stage, which is mise rably s mall , sLtteen feet deep and twenty f eet wid e, we hav e added yea r by yea r to ou r lighting an d scenic equ ipm en t so that now we ca n and do produce "sets" that ca ll forth unstinted praise, comparing favorably with the best that is being done in the experimental th ea t e r s all over the world.
Anyone who car es to , ma y act. \Ve are rath er up against it sometimes to find roles for those who are sure they would have been "great acton )" but eventually we find a pla ce for everyone who
longs for this manner of self expression. There are people who play the usual two times a year for us, who find their only emotional outlet through working in one of o ur casts The size of the part makes no difference; it is just tl':e doing it, the getting away from themselves and their routine employment that makes them live from one ushow" to the next The existence of our organization is justined entirely by th e personal joy and fre edom thus brought into the lives of these few.
Each play is cast with the help of the casting committee, members of which represent every class in Pasadena, social, professional, ' business and student. So it turns out that in every play one finds a group of people who would never in the wide world have gotten togeth er under any other ci r cumstances to work for the same end. Oak Knoll millionaires are frequently cast opposite bank clerks, stenographers, salespeople, me chanics or servants. Social barriers do not exist in our playhouse. There the make -believe of the play is th e all absorbing thought) and a g reat spirit of comradeship and teamwork springs into being at the first rehearsal. After twelve or fourteen reh ea rsals and seven performances our casts are genuinely miserable over sever in g their associations and they close the play with eager hopes for a par t in th e IInext ,.:how." It is easy to see how tremendous are the opportunities of :l Community Playhouse as a socializing agency . The un seen workers on every production frequently outnumber the actual players, for th ere is always the committee on production , whose privilege it is to design the settings, attend to th e choosing and rental of furni shin gs and the co lle cting of properties. Then there is the wardrobe co mmittee (often very larg e where costume plays are concerned and clothes are t o be mad e). whose duty it is t o design the costumes, a rrange the gene ral colo r scheme. make o r borrow costumes according to th e type of play. A music committee provides ove rtur es and intermission numbers. Tr..ese three groups bring in hundreds of talented people who never appear before the footlights but without whom the play would never If get across."
To make professional acto r s is farthest from the purpose of our organization. Community Players are all amateurs in the best sense of the word. in that they play for the love of it rath e r than as a business. They all volunteer their services. The only ones re-
ceiving pay are the directoral and busi ness staffs who give their entire time to the work. Nor are we trying to amass a bank account for the association. Self support is all we ask. Some months we break even, frequently we find ourselves on the red ink side of the ledger , but we hop over again with a popular play and go on our merry way rejoicing
So tremendous has been the growth of this Community Playhouse iuea throughout the country, and so numerous are the groups that aTe organizing, that it has given rise to a new vocation, t hat of community play directing. The usual commercial theater director faits, because he does not know how to handle amateur and volunteer se rv ice. A social welfare background is the great essential, with as much knowledge as possible of the theater added. To meet this great need we are conducting a six-weeks' summer course annually under the direction of the most able men and women available in the field of Community Drama.
The success of OU T own playhouse is due in a g r eat measure to the never ending work and the unswerved from ideals of our director, Gil mor Brown. Through yea rs of discouragement he has never lost sight of the great possibilities for entertainment, education. and sp iritual regeneration which lie in this g r eat co mmunity movement, and now his leadership in this field of creative work is nationally recognized.
OUT g r eatest hopes. thrills and heart - throbs just now are for our new playhouse which we expect to open with a "smashing" hig performance late in the fall. The deed for our lot is already tucked away in the business manager's pocket and the plans for ou r new home are completed. The building will be Spanish in type with a fifty·foot square patio, fascinating stairways, arcades, colorful dress · ing and lounging rooms, a stage that is a stage, with a rehearsal room of stage dimensions , and plenty of storage room for scenery, props and costumes. With these good dreams coming tru e, you may expect much of us in the future.
\ViII you not , dear Pi P his, on your Ca lifornia trips, stop by and see if we are making good?
Sincerely ycurs, ELOISE STERLING.

In the winding r oo m we wat ched the girls s i tting in long rows at tables, each with :1 small vat o f hot water in from of her filled with cocoons from which the almost unbelievably fine silk thread was being unwound, threaded through a system of special harness above th e girls and rewound on whirling sp i ndles behind them. \ Ve were told that each cocoo n furnishes abo ut a half mil e of thread so fine that we could scarcely see it with our naked eye. It is the business of the girls to tend the machinery at their particular places, to watch for broken threads and o therwise keep the process going. The experiment station serves as a sort of training school, and these girls, who discard their kimonos while at wo r k for more practical costumes of white 'waists and skirts, come in from th e outlying to l earn the new es t and most effective processes to go back to teach others in their com munities . \ Ve were taken to the chem ica l and bacte r io logica l labora to r ies, to the animal room where rahbits and other animals are kept for experimental pu r poses , and we r e shown and had explained to us, in so far as our understanding co uld follow, the entire scientific p r ocess of silk c ulture f r om the time the egg is hat ched till the silk threads are wound and twisted into taffy looking hanks, and pressed into bales ready to he taken to the weaving factories in Japan or shipped by fastest trains and hoats to foreign co untries.
Our morning at Shiba Park was pitifu ll y sbort for any sort of appreciation of the magnificent temples, shrines and mansolea there . A student of Reio University guided us a long the winding paths. across the bridges, up the st..!ps dug in the steep hillsides, through the trees and among the flowers , not only to refuse to take any remunerati on for his service but to express his gratitude for the oppo rtun ity to talk with us and so improve his English! It was
BASEBALL TRIP TO JAPAN
here that we saw the most gorgeous display o f azaleas. We stood in one spot and counted ten different shades in white, pink, red , orange, lavender and purple. In addition there were delicate, wax · like camellias growing far above our heads and trellises of lavender wistaria.
Mr. Ishii and Mrs. Abe took us to the photographer to have our pictures taken in Japanese dress. F o r the men Mr. Ishii brought his Cather's black ceremonial robe, the Iid res s suit" of Japan, and for the women, Mrs. Abe brought one of her daughter's costumes. This latter co nsisted of a bri1liant scarlet under robe, a ri ch, deep purple kimono, both of the most beautiful silk, and a wonderful obi (sash) embroidered in green and gold. The ties used to loop up the kimono and hold the obi in place were white , pink and scarlet.
We had great fun dressing. Mrs Abe, of course, had to show us how and help us, and I do not know who was more interested-sht: in the American c10thes we laid aside or we in the Japanese ones we put on. The Japanese shoes were deci dedly uncomfortable to ou r unaccustomed toes, and we had co nsiderable difficulty in getting down on to the fl oo r to do OUT primping before the mirror in the regulation Japanese dressing table with whi ch the room was furnished.
When we finally announ ced ourseh'es as ready and joined the men we found that having a pi cture taken in Japan is not a matter to be hurried. Our photographer, one of the best in Tokyo, spared no pains to have everything correct to the last detail. Sitting on pillows in Japanese style, sitting on chairs, standing this way or that, every fold of the kimono must be just so, the position of the fan must not vary an inch. These pictures will be among o ur most prized possessions as time passes.
In order that we might see something more of the count ry than Tokyo and Yokohama, a series of games was arranged at Osaka under the auspices o f the Osaka Mainichi J one of the most influential Japanese newspapers in the Empire. In this way we not only saw much of the open country, but visited Kyoto and NaTa, two of th e ancient capitals, and Kobe , one of the most important industrial cente rs of Japan.
On this trip we left Tokyo during the morning and finished the eleven -hour journey well after dark. The fields , laid out in tiny
THE ARROW OF PI BETA PHI
squares, were planted at this time in wheat , clover, barley, buck· wheat, and mustard f or the most part, a lthough in some, vegetables were growing- dlicfly on io ns and potatoes. Fields here and there were floodt:d \\ jlh water where rire h3r1 just been sowed. Plants (rolll th ese seed beds wuuld late r he transplanted to the su rrounding fields after the present c rops were harvested. The size and shape of th e fields gave the whole cou ntry the appearance of a patchwork quilt. This effect was heightened by th e alternating colors of the Rowers - the while flowers of the buckwheat and the blue flowers of the barley, in co ntrast with the pink clover and yellow mustard, aga i nst th e green of the wheat heads a nd the s heen of the s tanding water as a background.
Occasionally we saw a mul ber ry Uplanta tion /' and in the terraced hi lls we saw th e women and child ren picking tea leaves from shrubs not mu ch higher than their heads. I t was drizzling rain and tht: workers in the fields had donned their grass rain coats. As we c rossed into the m ountai n cou ntry we saw many beautiful clear streams and waterfalls furni shin g power for cotton spinning, rice threshing and other industrial processes. \V e saw great aqueducB ca rrying water to irri ga te fi e lds miles a way
-[- he houses, either standing alone c r grouped in villages, were built back against tht hills in order to take up tht least possible valuable farming spa ce. In cont rast to the tile r oofs of the citic.5, houses were thatc hed with s traw . Here and there the combs of the roofs were planted with iris, the green co ntra sting \' ividly with the dull brown of the thatch. Many of the foothills were wooded and we were told that further hack in great for es t s of ash, pine . ceda r. and maple . were the bamboo groves. the mountains were rn the l o w co untry
As the s un went down we pressed our fa ces against the windows of the train to watch the go rgeous play o f co lors in the sky and their reH c tion in th e water !o; tanding in the fields. No Japanese co lor print can exagge rat e these Against the background of gray shadows in the woods th e re was first brilliant scarlet, then rose, then lavender , then purple , then intense deep blue. and finally gray over all.
Our day of sightseeing at Kyoto was o ne o f idle dreamy roman ce. The hotel at Osaka had pa cked ou r lunch in neat little boxes, and
after vISItIng the Higashi - H ongwanji Tempie and looking about the city of Kyota, Professor Abe took us to Arashiyama, where we ate in the park on the banks of the picturesque Hod:<u River. After IUllch Professor Abe chartered several long fiat-bottomed boats Wit:1 canopies overh ead, and strong -armed boatmen poled us up the river some distance to the first hot springs. As we Boated lazily back down stTeam we recorded lasting memory pictures of the deep green water swirling round great granite bowlders lying in the bed of the stream, the dark densely ' wooded mountains in the background, the high banks on both sides of the Slream with pine, cherry, and maple tfees growing wherever they could find a foothold, and taria vines in full bloom hanging from the sides of the cliffs like wild grape-vines at home.
Another day Professer AbC took U,j to historic Nara. Here we took rikashas at the station to go through the Park and to reach the temples and shrines. In the Park we dismissed our rikashas for a while to wander alnong the gnarled o ld pine trees and clumps of brilliant azalleas . \.y e bought strings of little brown cookies to feed the sacred deer so tame that at times we almost had t o figh t them off as they sc rambl ed over each othe r for cakes and attention. After d. little while we mel our rika5ha drivers who had been inst ructed to wajt for us to take us to the temples. We rode down long narrow avenues lined with moss -g rown stone lantern s and tall pines from the very tops of whi c h hung g r eat ropes of wistaria. Everywhere there were the sac red deer, lying in the shade , wandering in and out among the lanterns, or stand ing in the roadway.
The scarlet lacquering of the temples and toriis here is especially briJIiant. Most of the temples have roofs of wood thatch, some looking to be twelve to eighteen inches thi c k , and often just beneath the eaves hang long row s of the bronze lanterns so familiar in picture and story. It wa s here that Kipling's temple bells a-calling really became a part of us as we heard the wonderful big bell rung by a wooden be,'un swung against it. It sounded like the soft, deepthroated notes of a mammoth organ. In some places here the wistaria had been trained on trellises and I measured fl ower stalks a yard long studded thick with lavender blossoms hanging through the trellis-work.
Another day Mr . Isobe too k us to Kobe to his beautiful home,
THE ARROW OF PI BETA PHI
half Japanese and half American in style, to meet his charming wife and sturdy five·year-old son. In the afternoon he took us to Maiko, on th e seashore. In the pa rk here we saw some of the finest examples of ancient gnarled and twist ed pines so characteristic of Japan. After st r olling a long the beach we went to a tea house overlooking the sea where we cou ld sit and watch the fi sher folk-men, women, and child r en-set and haul in the sardine nets.
We stayed until after four o'c1ock when the great fl eets of sail boats, looking like fl ocks of white g ulls , put out to sea to fish all night and rctu":! the next morning. W e returned to Mr. Isabe's home for a dinner, Hnot too J apanese, but not with all the Jap anese taken out jf it" according to Mr. Isobe's directions. After dinner Mrs. delighted us at her piano until time to return to Osaka to get a night's r est before r etu rning to Tokyo to pack up for the trip home.
Three events at the time we were in Japan combined to fill Tokyo with grea t c r owds of people. At no other time could we have seen such a number of types from all over the Empire.
The first of these events was the visit of the Prince of \V ales. 'Vherever he went the streets were packed with people to sec him. Of ten school children were lined up on both sides of the st r eets waiting patient l y for hours to shout and wave little flags of the Japanese and British Empires as he passed. The streets along which h e was sched uled to drive were always gaily decorated and were espcially prepared for his automob il e with a coating of ve r y fine gravel. As pedestrian or jinrikasha bound on necessary business disturbed the smooth surface of the gravel , it was ca refully swept back into place by workmen stationed there for the purpose.
Another event that accounted f or the crowds in the city was the Peace Exposition at Ueyno Park. This exposition, co rr espond in g to our world's fairs. was condu c ted for four months at a public expense of 5,000,000 yen ( $ 2.500 ,000.00) we had too short a time to see much of the arts. crafts and indu strial products--most l y display. It was here that we saw the famous cher r y blossom dan ce in the theater.
BASEBALL TRIP TO JAPA.I'
But a greater attraction to the J aparese than either of these two e\'ents, because deep roo ted in their nat ional customs, was the val season-the che rry blossom season-when people from all over Japan , young and old, ri ch and poor, gather in Toyko to worship at the temples or to celebrate with true Japanese abandon. \Ve saw bands of pilgrims from remote districts in their "old-fashioned, backwoods" costumes elbowed aside by a group of gay, laughing young people, as we struggled to get through the c rowds in the streets.
The traffic in the st reets was a never ending source of wonderment to us. There were vehicles of all sorts-carts of many varieties, wagons, sprinkling boxes, bicycles, rikashas, and automobiles. )t is the age of the bicycle in Japan and at times we occupied our· selves by seeing how many we could count in the street at one time. There are few automobiles in Japan , due to the purposely prohibitive license fee; 484 yen $ (2 42 .00) a year, the lowest fee, and ranging on up for the larger machines-more interesting than the kinds of vehicles th'emselves was the power which propelled them. At any one time on the Ginza J the principal street of Tokyo, we might see vehicles drawn by horse power, man power, woman power, ox power, cow power, gasolene and electricty, as our rikasha driver trotted along clearing the way in front of him by shouting ilhoik hoik" and vigorously ringing his tiny bicycle bell.
We never tired of watching the life on the canals. The barge1ike boats being poled back and forth were used not only for transportation but also for homel for families. Children are born on these boats and grow to maturity knowing no other home. Babies looking as though their little round heads would certainly fall off slept soundly, strapped securely and snugly on the backs of mothers who were doing their share in poling the boat or swinging the great oar attached to the back.
Vie spent one afternoon in Tokyo down at the Bay sitting on the dock watching the f er ry. Officious looking little tugs plied across pulling the ferries loaded with passengers , biCYcles, carts, and freight. There were occasional very heavy pieces of freight. As the workmen lifted these heavy pieces they chanted a sort of sing song on the lift reminding u!, somewhat of the darky deck hands on the Ohio river boats of days gone by .
THE ARROW OF PI BETA PH I
Another evening we spent in a park in Osaka alongside the canals watching the pleasur e boats which appear nightly with the first g ray shadows. These pleasure boats-small·sized row boats-are used almost entirely by men and boys. Each boat is equipped with a Japanese paper lantern swung on a short b::unboo pole in the bow j and as hundreds of th em dashed back and forth, the lighted lantern s bobbing about and reflec ting in the water, the effect was like a g r eat swarm of fireflies.
Although our hotel was a foreign hotel (we of co urse being the foreigners) it was used a great deal by Japanese and gave us the opportunity to o bserv e c ertain phases of Japanese life and customs. It was used by the Japanese es peci a lly f o r wedding re ceptions. Scarcely was there an evening on which th e r e was not at least one such reception with it s rustle and bustle and Hurry of guests, and some evenings there were three or four. Our roo m was at the end of the hall down whi ch the guests must pass and I co nfess to leaving our door ajar in frank curiosi ty Som etim es th e re ce ption included guests fr om the official circles of Japan and we w ere often quite awed by the display of gold lace and the clanking of swords. One evening we had pointed out to us th e very d istinguished Admiral Kato and Admira1 Yamajald.
The entertainment provided at th ese r eceptio ns was of t en very elaborate and must have been very ex pensive One evening we s lipped into the ba ck of the room where a dramatic performance was being given by some of the most celebrated actors in Japan. \Ve were told that it was a most artistic p r esentation of the ancient drama but unfortunately we were n o t sufficiently familiar with Japanese drama to understand or 3ppreciate it.
\tVe estimated that about one -third of the Japanese men we saw in the lar ge r cities-Yokohama, Tok yo, Osaka, and Kobe-wore European clo thes. In our entire stay we saw only five Japanese women wear anything but the Japanese dress Japanese women of refinement are beginning to wear mu ch gayer co lors in recent yea r s but on the streets th ei r appeared rather dull to us. While the national dress is handed down from generation, there is beginning to be a hint of seasonal styles even for Japanese women. Especially is this tru e of co lor style . "Vhen we were there it was a lawnder year , and as we looked through half-closed eyes in the
silk rooms of the big department storc!oi in Tokyo there appea red to be a lavender haze over all.
The prepolldt!rance of the Japanese national dress somewhat ove r · whelmed us. \\ rc found oursch'cs slipping from the moorings of our ow n ingrained sense of the proper thing and occasionally brought ourselves up sharply in sudden terror lest we find ourselves at the brea.kfast table in party drc:,s In uur short stay th e cus t o m of leaving the dirt of th e strctt to the strttt instead of bringing it inside with us look firm hold upon U!;. I n th e homes, in the tea houses, and small shops we look our off before entering; and in the larger stores, th eaters, and puhlic buildings we were given the ca nton flann el over shoes. Only in railway stations and in th e foreign h,otels in which we stayed were we eyer allowed to walk in with our "boots on." This is ce rtainly one Japanese custom wh ich would make a most important contributioll to our American house-keeping methods.
Every f o reigner is, of cou rse, fas cinated with the shops. The few large department sto res are much like ours in Am e ri ca and OUT shopping in them was n ot much of a nov e lty. But it was the little shops which open righ t onto th e str eet that held our attention most. Th e r e were the china shops, the print shops the i\' ory shops, the dry goods shops, the tea shops, the stationery shops, the shoe shops, the toy shops, the umbrella shops-separate shops to sell every sort of thing.
We were not in the coun try long enough to be conve rted entirely to the universal c ustom of tea drinking. When we went shopping in a party, we were sen'cd tea before we were shown any goods; when we visited Shiba Park we were suved tea as we waited at the entrance for ou r rikashaft; when we yisited the gove rnm en t seric ultural station we were served tea he for e being taken over the establishment. On the desk of the hcsinefts man there was always the teapot. At the railway the trains passed through, there were venders of tea each equipped with pots, cups, little bags of tea and big copper kettles of hot water. For ten sen ( 5 ce nts ) we could get a pot of freshly made tea and a cup to take on the train with us. \.vh e n we finished we put the pot ami cup under the seat to be removed at the end of the journey, and distributed back along the line to repeat the process.

WINIFRED HILL MAXFIELD
By ETlIt-: I.YN HARDESTY P etlftsyhTOllia r
A fraternity woman "in deed and in truth" is \Vinifred Hill Maxfield, ( Mrs B. L ,), Massa chuse tts A, who has the unique distinction of having served within the last four years as president of three larg e fraternity organizations: namely, The New York Alumnre Club of IT B 4>, the Panh e lleni c Association of New York City and the Association of cI> B K alumnre in New York, which presidency she now holds. Although IT B <f> loves to claim her for its own, in a sense she belongs to all women's fraternities because of th e broad service she has rendered to them .
Mrs . Maxfield was born in Boston, Mass. Her pre-college train · ing was ob tain ed at the H olyoke. Mass. , grammar schoo l where she led her class and at th e Somerville, Mass High School where she graduated in 1894 , sharing the honor of valedictorian with one other member of her class. She then en tered Boston University, and became a charter member of Massachusetts A in 1896. Concerning her relation to Massachusetts A, a fraternity sister writes:

subjects. She subsequently did graduate work at her Alma Mater and at Harvard . Bos ton University had no chapter of B K when she graduated , but her r eco rd in scholarship was such that in 1918 -twenty yea rs after graduation-she was elec ted to membership , toge th e r with the othe r members of her c lass who were entitled to the honor.
After graduation, Mrs. Maxfield taught in Rockland, Me., KingstO ll, N . H" Plymouth, and Watertown, Ma ss . A school principal of thirty -five years experience under whom she served, says that "'For natural ability, loya lty and scholastic preparation, for executive ability, power t o cont r o l and success as a teacheT, I never had any onc who wa s her superior."
But th e teac hing profession was to l ose her. On July 29, 1907 she was married to B ert on Lewi s Maxfield , <I> r a , a New Yo rk lawyer , a graduate of Brown University (1901), whose attain· ments are given in the 1918 ed iti on of ""Vho's \>Vho in New York." They have one son, Berton L . Jr ., a student at Erasmus Hall High School, which is compa r at iv ely near the Maxfield home at 3058 Bedford Ave., Brooklyn
Soon afte r co ming to Greater New Y o rk t o liv e, Mrs . Maxfield was appointed secretary o f the New York Alumna! Club of n B <1>, a nd in 1918 was elected president.
During Mrs . Maxfield's presi dency of the alumnre club, at the suggestion of two members of the Grand Council, invitations to a Panh e lleni c tea were issued to the seventeen other women's fraternity organizations in ew York City This pr oved to be the beginning of the New York City Panh e lleni c Association. Acco rding to national Panhellenic rules, n B 4> was entitled to the presidency, and Mrs. Maxfield fittingly became the first pres ident. It was while she was president that K K r proposed that a Panhellenic clubhouse should be built, upon which proposition a co mmittee has been diligently working. Mrs . Maxfi eld is still se rving on the Panhellenic board, being one of tw O delegates representing II B 4».
The old saying "One thing leads t o another," however, was again to be verified. In February, 1922, B K alumnre were invited to meet at Columbia University for the purpose of fonning an associa· tion. Mrs . Maxfield attended. A nominating co mmittee was ap · pointed. Soon after the meeting , she was asked to accept the nom· ination of president, her name having been proposed by a member
of the committee, an A 0 TI J who knew her from Panhellenic associations. Thus, somewhat relu c tantly, for, as Mr s. Maxfield exp ressed it, she uhad hoped to mark time for a while," Mrs Maxfield became the first president of the 4> B K alumnre in New York, and has filled the position ably. She also has the honor of being a member of the executive committee of the New York Stale Association of B K , formed for the promotion of scholarship in the secondary schools of the state.
Tn addition to the previously mentioned activities, Mrs. Maxfield belongs to St. Paul's Congregational Church of Brooklyn, Brooklyn Colony of New England Women, American Association of University \Vamen, Battle Pass Chapter of Daughters of Ameri can Revolution, a Bridge club, and a Shakespeare club. Her pet charities are the Association for Improving the Condition of the Poor, the Blind Player's Club, and work among the Chinese of the city. • It goes without saying that the subject of this sketch leads a bu .. v life. One of her greatest pleasures and one o\'er which her husband is equally enthusiastic, is camping. They have had some delightful experiences during the many vacations they have spent in this way , Their favorite camping sites have been in the \Vhite 1\10untains anu the woods of Maine.

After holding this position for a year, she went to Newport News. Va., to wo rk with the Commission on Training Camp Activities.
After the war Miss Rathbun found herself out of a position and
began to look abou t f o r something to do. A few weeks prior to this time, Vilhjalmur Stefansson had r eturned from a nve-year expedition in the Arctic and was introduced to Miss Rathbun by a mutual friend. Very soon after that she became his private secretary.
When asked whether she went on the explorations with Mr Stefansson, she replied:
"\Vhen Mr. Stefansson is not in the Arctic, he spends most of his time lec turing and writing books and magazine articles. Of Wyo"ting A course, he writes them himself but I have been able to relieve him of a great deal o f detail in revision , verifi catio n of facts by library referen ce, and the detail of seeing a book through the hands of the publisher. Then I do the routine secretarial work such as taking ca re of correspondence, i ng Mr. Stefansson's bills, etc.

F ew people in this day and age delight in hours of so litude, and those few are rarely found in the complex life of our coll ege s and universities . If a detached observer were to attempt to fathom the design which underlies the arrangement of our coUege life, he would doubtless conclude that its purpose was to save its membe r s from the dange r of being alone with themselves. Everyone's schedule is crowded with classes, a ctivities and amusements-which are all sha r ed with other people
The thought of spending a few hours with one's self was not always so distasteful. There have even been times , strange as it may now
ROMANTIC CULT OF SOLITUDE
seem, when solitude bas been praised as the ideal state. Among those who have recommended solitude are the poets of the Romantic Movement. In tracing the beginnings of Romanticism in the eighteenth century, it can be seen that a love for solitude and for a particular type of solitude was one of the distinguishing marks of the early Romantic poet. The Romantic idea of solitude was different from that conception which had predominated in the preceding centuries, for instead of spending the hours in solitude in philosophic contemplation and self-improvement, the Romantic poets enjoyed pens iv e day dreaming and solitary communion with nature.
The desire for solitude on the part of the early Romantic poets earne largely as a reaction against the busy city life of the eighteenth century. Tired of the strenuous and elaborate etiquette of the city, they sought peace and freedom by retiring to the country and to solitude. This preference on the part of some of the early Romantic poets for retirement in the country rather than participation in city life, was in decided contras t to the attitude of the majority of the people of the eighteenth centu ry. The conventional man of the period was an obsti-
nate l over of the town.
He took delight in coffee -houses, the crowded city streets and the conversation of the drawing room. He regarded anyone who lived in the country as being out of track with all that was worth while in life. Like Dr. Sarouel Johnson he believed that "after o ne has gathered the apples of an orchard, one wishes them well-baked, and removed to a London eating house for enjoyment."

Sophi'itication of manner was admired ill wonlcn , as well as in men , in the city Ii [e of the eighteenth century. The men co ns ide red woman as a creature that might be admired sometimes, but never adored. Perhaps the woman in society circles of that day, whose hours were occupied with udress, parties. adulation" did not deserve veneration. Drinking, as well as smoking and snuff taking. was indulged in by many women. "Perdita" Rohinson, one of the minor Romanticists of the period , mentions in her A1 e 'ffl o;rs that her sehoo im istress often resorted to drink to drown her sorrow. She also su!'pected her sister-in-law of the same weakness , fo'r although not m o re than twenty years of age, this young lady had Ha co untenan ce somewhat more ruddy than was consistent with even pure health." That it was society that had so cor.rupted man was the belief of the early Romantic poets and they attempted to return to the "natural man" hy retiring to solitude where man might guide his !ife hy the laws of nature, rather than by the laws of society. \ Vhile it was largely , I believe, a hatred for the city and its artificial life that prompted the early Romantic poets to turn to so l itude. they soon found that the quiet r etreat afforded other ad"antages than as a haven from the c ity. They came in closer contac t with nature and {'ou ld better appreciate its beauty and sublimity when removed from the worries of worldly affairs. Their poems show a love for the Le-auties of nature, disc overed, for the most part , on solitary walk s. Nature seems more beautiful when one is a lone with her, some of the ea rl y Romanticists believed, for they declare that in solitude "rose:, hrighter bloom" and fountains purer flow. If alone on a country walk. the invo l untary impression of the cha rms of natur e upon the mind i!' not impaired by the "continual co mparing of notes on hedge - rows and hlack catt le" that is common when one has a companion.
Sol it ary communion with nature hrought forth religious fervor to some poets, as well as a love for beauty. [n nature was seen the handiwork of God, and the poet who sang the heauties of nature was in a. way praising lood. Virtue was easie r to acquire in solitude, away from the trials of the city. Many of the Romanti c ists agreed with \'oldsmith , who declares in the Drsl'rt r d Viflag r that that man is hlt'"t "who quits a world where !'itrong tl'mp :Oltiolls try."

like William Beckford's Vathek, who said to those who wished him to visit their city: "I beg you will let me be quiet for I am not overfond of resi sti ng temptation." also afforded the melancholy pleasure of brooding upon one's sorrows, This was a real delight to the Romantic poets who were in a way in love with their own grief. Thomas Chatterton's Elegy beginning "Joyless I seek the solitary shade" is typical of this desire of the Romanticists for a gloomy retreat to acco rd with their pensive mood.
After the early Romantic poets pointed out the cha rms of so litude, there was a gradua l change in the attitude of the people toward re o t.irement. Solitary life was praised in preference to city life, and it hecame the fashion for men to r etreat to rural solitudes and to build hermitages on their country estates. At the present time we are much like the convention al man of the early eighteenth century in our at· tachment for city life and for contac t with others in all our activi· ties. But even now there are a few modern poets who praise the life of solitude, among them Lew Sarrett, who in his poem L et Me Flower as I Will shows a spirit of revolt from the restraints of conventio nal c ity life and the hope of finding relief in solitude. The poem begins: Gad, let me Hower as I will! From too much living t am ill Oh, weary of the waxen bloom Of orchids in the city gloom; And weary of the pruning knife That shapes this prime decorous life, Of clambering trellises ' that hold me, Of flawless patterned (orms that mold me.
lt is interesting to speculate whether this strain of revolt against city life, which results in a love for solitude, will continue throughout our poetry until the modern writers, attracted to the idea th emselves , may be as successful as the early Romanticists in turning men's attention from society to the pleasures of solitude. ,

A COURSE IN PRACTICAL HOUSEWIFERY
Another year of school has passed and it sometimes seems that we '" have accomplished very little, but 'when we compare the beginning with the closing of the year we think several things have been accomplished. This has been more noticeable in the sewing rerhaps, than in the regular school work.
Fi ve girls in the sixth grade and one in the fifth grade completP.d the year's work and one who entered after the Christmas vacation. completed the preliminary work. They l earned stitches for sewing, finishing, embroidery and hemstitching; seams, hems, patching on plain, check and striped material j darning on dress goods and stockings; made aprons, gowns, bloomers, teddys and one or more dresses. The work was excellent for girls from twelve to fourteen years of age who had never done any sewing before.
There is one thing these people are l oath to do and that is to take anything out when it is not done right . When I insisted they always did it but with very poor grace. You should see their faces shine when they finally got it right for they knew just as well as I when it looked right . The habit of "any waytH doH and "what difference will it make" practiced by mother and grandmother for generations is not easily broken. The patching and darning was the m ost difficult as such things are simp ly not done in the se parts . If a dress or stocking gets torn they draw it together with some thread, the co l o r does not matter in the least, and let it go at that and after a week or two throw it away and buy new. I have tried to show them that this was extravagant and wasteful when they had so little to begin with, but they couldn't or wouldn't see it that way.
The older or rather more advanced class from the high school from twelve to nineteen years of age, had had a little experience in sewing in th e homes and after the preliminary work cut and made gowns, teddys, slips, aprons, kimonos and dresses, made lunch cloths and dresser scarfs in embroidery or applique work. They were very ambitious and wanted to make many things too difficult for first-ye.. pupils even with the experience in sewing in the home. Two of the

older girls dropped out at Christmas, one to get married and the other to attend a school a little more conveniently located for her.
We had six girls in the Mary Pollard Cottage this year and there were some lively times. One girl was full of fun and mischief while most of the others were not able to take a joke so at times the atmosphere would be somewhat thick for May did love to tease and the ot hers were not able to I'come back" at her.
The work was so arranged that two did the cooking, two the dishwashing and two the sweeping, c han ging each week. They were told at the beginning that they must get up in the morning without being called and ha ve breakfast in time for the dishwashers to get to school. 'Ve nearly always ate breakfast at six o'clock but several time. th'ey were through eating before five. These people get up just when they awaken and many have breakfast at four or four -thirty. Even on Sunday mornings breakfast at four o'clock is no unusuai thing. They go to bed at dark so are ready to get up early and I will say it is a very good practice, once you get used to it, for you ge t your work done so ea rly and then can I1set and think or just set" as many of the women do when their little bit of house work is finished, after a fashion.
It is just as hard for the gi rls to do the housework right as it is the sewing and if they scrub the floor in the cente r what difference if th e corners and back of the stove and cupboard legs are missed. Rinsing the dishes and washing the dish towels wnen through is of no use whatever. UCan't see no sense in bein' so particular about things, no how. tJ
Three of the girls were good cooks and the others were good helpers. They prepared breakfast and supper and I was responsible for the noon meal as they were busy in school up to 12 M. They, however, washed the dishes. Three of them helped with the noon lun ch at school one day a week so during the year they learned "quite a bit" about cooking, dish washing and cleaning. If they will just do the work in their homes as they have learned to do it through the year we will feel well repaid for the effort put forth.

During these three months the children learned some table etiquette they would not have learned otherwise. One incident that always amuses me came from teaching them tahle manners. [had asked the cHldren not to talk when they had food in their mouths. They found it "cry hard to rememher and quite often someone would for · get. It was suggested that all those who forgot should sweep lunch room floor . Five year old Maisie 'Vhaley was visiting school that day and heard the and it evidently in." Several days later, when she was again visiting school , her older sister forgot and spoke when she had (O<Kl in her mouth. Quiet little who nenT spoke ur in allY way made you aware of her presence, beamed and bubbling over with excitement exclaimed , "Oh yes, you have to sweep."
The persons ac ting as host and hostess asked for the children to he when a ll had finished their lunch. Near the close of school the "cooks" went up Mill Creek for a picnic and had a wonderful time. They talked picnic so much the younger children became thrilled and felt they too must have a picnic, so promptly after school some of the boys \\ ent to 1\1 iss and asked her for a picnic. Of course Miss Evelyn couldn't refuse and it \";as decided that the next day would be the best time.
The following day was wonderful for piUIlt.: llIg, MJ at eleventhirty, with our haskets un uur arms, we started.

THE ARROW OF PI BETA PHI
NURSING IN THE MOUNTAINS
Nursing conditions in different lo ca lities vary, but on the whole different mountain sections have mOTe in co mm on than mountains and cities, hence I should have been utterly at sea on coming into the mountains had it not been for the nurse at Hindman whom I visited as I carne South, and who went to no end of trouble to tell and show me everything that she thought would be useful, and also Miss Rich whom I visited in North Carolina after I had been in the mountains six months and who helped me straighten out some of my problems, got my head above water and gave me fresh inspiration.
A highly developed city nurs.ing association, with the network of allied organizations, abundance of doctors, hospital and clinic facilities, above a ll its telephone communication and well developed spirit of cooperation and group methods is a far cry to no facilities, no organization at all, no telephone and a firmly rooted individualistic and independent spirit.
The people had as vague an idea of a nurse as I had of what comprised nursing in the mountains. Th ei r experience was limited to a few private nurses, so a nur se to them meant someone who would make an indefinite stay and reli eve the family of all responsibility-a short visit resembled the doctor's-consequently as a Public Health nurse I was neither fish, flesh, fowl, nor good red herring; being variou sly called the doctor, the nurse, the cook or the waiterand since I wouldn't diagnose and prescribe, or go and spend weeks with a typhoid case the people were much puzzled to know of what use T cou ld really be.
T have tried all along to let the people take the initiative and send for me rather than to hunt them up; in that way T reel they really want what we have to give. So far as possible we want them to feel the need and then try to meet that need rather than force it on them , For example: we havln't accommodation for more than one emergency case or so, hut of late there have been seveml inquiries ' as to whether we would take in patients, several obstetrical patients would like to have been cared for in the hospital , several feeding cases, etc" and eventually we hope to take in such, but the demand is coming from the people.
My education has progressed, if not the people's. T soon found
the people weren't used to hurrying, and that it takes a long time of patient waiting and general conversation to find out what they have rea ll y come {O f , or to get a history of the cases when making a visit. I have had to get used to getting most of a woman's symptoms from her husband, and not having heart failure when a messenger comes with the news that so and so is "bad ofI"-"about to die" or "got the fever." Also I am not as sensitive as I once was abo ut always being asked, for months afterwards if I was with !l.O and so who died. I used t o r esen t the implication that I had hastened their departure .
I was warned not to hav e my district t oo large, consequently I try to keep within a five -mile radius j when I have to make calls o utside of it one visit will often take all day.
In the first thr " e months about fourteen nights were spent away from home, but gradually the people are getting more a ccustomed to the idea of my going in, showing them what to do and returning . Later on it may be possible to emphasize more of the preventive and instructive work, but at prese nt my work is lar ge l y ca re of the sick, and the people are usually sick, too.
Infectious diseases afe apt to be severer than one finds in the cities; for instance diphtheria gains fearful headway be f o re any attempt is made to get help and the antitoxin is seldom given early-if at all. As to small pox vaccination, they would much prefer the disease.
Coming home after dark one night I found a call to see a baby that the father thought had membraneous croup. It was about the farthest place in another community. Taking all the emergency antitoxin I had, one of the t eachers drove me as far as possible in a Ford, then we walked thro ugh the woods to the house and gave the antitoxin by the help of a smoky lamp and a 8ashlight. The end of the gladd syringe broke on inserting the plunger and I was petrified, as the child needed all I had but fortunately we didn't l ose any. The child couldn't have lived till morning so there was n o waiting to get a doctor-the nearest o ne couldn't have been gotten under six or eight hours provided he was home when called.
In the above cases r charged abo u t what t he docto r would as I didn't want them to feel I would make a pra cti ce of giving anti · toxin. And the question of fees is a problem that we have still not

To my utter horror and amazement on returning after a few days' absence, I found two mail sacks full of seeds had been dumped ou t in the back of the store.

needed. This may help to solve the problem of having regular office hours and of being able to do satisfactory school and lecture work. At any rate it remains to be seen.
I have practically three sets of equipment, one for office use, one for my saddle bags and one for the obstetrical bag which I found necessary to acquire a year ago, as sometimes it is impossible for the people to get a doctor in time. I have made it a rule not to go in place of a doctor and have only once broken my rule--at the urg ent request of a mid·wife who wanted me to caTe for her daughter
I had a month or six weeks of such worry that I learned my lesson , and though the problem of caring for the greater number of obstet· rieal cases is still unsolved I never unless they have attempted to get a doctor.
One man wanted to know if I couldn't take obstetrical cases if I had a prescription and after racking my brains to know what he meant I found he had reference to my sending a man for the doctor and to his bringing back a note in wh ich he told me he couldn't come and wished me luck.
First, last, and always, th e re could have been no running without the loyalty, support and help of the doctors. It was they who , while not living here, came into the district when called, who paved the way for a nurse, have stood firm and strong for everything done and have taught me much that belongs to the sphere of a doctor because they felt there would be emergencies to be met when they weren't there. In short when I see one coming up the lane I have much the same feeling I would have if it my best friend.
Nursing in the mountains may sound like nothing but problems and difficulties but the compensation more than makes up for them. First, the people themselves are wonderful to work with and for; so are the doctors-and nowhere does one find such people and such scenery as in th e mountains, and the l onge r one stays the more fascinating the work becomes.

The following bibliography has been prepared by Dorothy K. Cleaveland, librarian of St. Lawrence University, at the request of the Settlement School Committee. It is based on the bibliography compiled by Alice Matthews in the early days of our work and on
others issued in connection with mountain work in other places. The entire manuscript has been revised and brought up-ta-date so that Pi Phis may now have a guide for reading on this subject so interesting to us all and a fund of information available for Settlement School programs.

IV es t er n Birds , by Harri et \Vill iams Myers 1922, Ma cmillan, • Bvo . 400 p. ill us. $4.00.
\V estern Pi Phis who are nature lovers will be especially interested to have Western Birds" by H a rriet Williams Myers (Mrs. W . R.), I owa Z, which Macmillan has r ecen tly brought out. The book describes about tw o hundred of the more familiar song birds and their allies found in th e Pacific Coast states and, to a lesser degree, the interior western states. Valuable first -hand information gained through many years of bird study is supplemented by that from the best scientific sou r ces. The book will also prov e a valuable guide for eastern bird enthusi asts traveling in th e W es t , for many eartern birds-typical of their genus-are described and so used as the basis fo r comparison with the western species.
The author's des cr iptions a r e c learly and entertaining ly written and a great deal of interesting and valuable information about the birds is given , int erspe rsed with delightful narratives of personal experien ces. Any bird lover will delight in browsing through it o r in reading at random in it , though the birds dis cussed may be unfamiliar Many of the illustrations of b irds and their nests and young 3re from photographs t aken by the author.
BOOK REVIEWS 651
A comp lete index, giving scientific and common names of birds, and all references to authorities cited adds to the value of the book for reference. The descriptions are arranged according to the clas"ification of the American Ornithological Union.
Mrs. Myers is well fitted for writing such a book, for she has been a careful observer of bird life for many years. She is vicepresident of the California Audubon Society and chairman of birds and flowers in the General Federation of \Vom en's Clubs, and has also contributed numerous articles on bird life to magazines.
Mnry 0, by Ethel Hueston. 1923, Bobbs-Merril l. IIIus. $2.00
Merry Mrs. Hueston's latest and best story, is a light and entertaining romance which girls in their teens will find delightful and older readers also will enjoy as a pleasant relief from the disagreeable realism of so much of our modem fiction. In this book she depicts the same charming, wholesome type of girl which her readers already know, and in addition she has here a plot of adventure, spiced with a mystery that holds the attention to the end. Mrs . Hueston is Ethel Powelson - Hueston - Best, Towa A.
OUR SOUTHERN HIGHLANDERS
Our Southern Highlanders} Hora ce Kephart. Revised edition with new material. The Macmillan Company.
Many readers of THE ARROW are familiar with the first edition of this book which has long been a standard work on mountain problems. Nine years have passed since that volume appeared and the effects of the World War are felt even in farthest Appalachia. The new edition places emphasis on the new aspects of the old problem of moonshining in the light of the attempt at national prohibition and contains three additional chapters which like the older material in the book are intensely interesting.
Mr. Kephart writes after eighteen years of intimate association with the southern mountaineers. As he says he has chosen to write about those features which seem to him most picturesque and liThe narrative is to be taken literally. There is not a line of fiction or exaggeration in it."
The volume will make interesting reading for eve r yone-it is almost invaluable for those seeking material for Settlement School meeting programs as selected readings from its pages will furnish

from Columbia in 1916. Following her graduate work in Columbia, she spent one year at Whittier Hall taking special work in the university and doing social settlement work. Part of this work consisted of giving the Binet Test in psychology at Russell Sage Foundation. Her ability as a student was marked, and her originality and charm linked with her sound scholarship made her a valuable asset to the community which was fortunate enough to receive her.
This com munity was Adel, Iowa , where after her mar'riage on Septelnber 12 , 1917 , to Merton Tanner Straight, Jlli"Ois" 6 0, she made her home, with the exception of one year, until her death. During this year Mr. Str::dght was in the service and Mrs. Straight was with, or Dear him at various camps, principally Miami, Fla .

EDITORIALS
CONVE TION DELEGATES shou ld come to convention with open minds, r eady to weigh ca r efu lly the problems which will comc before them. Informa tion and details will be presented from the convent ion floor with which indi \·idual cha.p ters are unfamiliar and it is th erefo re unfair to your delegate to instruct her he forehand COIlce rning her vote. You hav e caref ull y sel ected the girl who is mMt capable of representing your group and you should r el y upon her judgment and acc ept her decisions.
THE FRATERNITY BADGE is not a li cense for asking special ca mpus privi1eges or favors. It is n o t a pass into social c ircl es . Nor is it a ticket to higher grades without due effort.
The fraternity badge is the ou tward profession that you ha\"e become a member of an organized group and are willing to assume responsibility. It signifies that you are no longer a free and individual unit. Instead , you are an important p:ut of the chapte r and you have acknowledged that you arc willing to strive cons tantly to uphold the standards of the fraternity by self - improvement and selfadvancement. J f you are not willing to accept respo nsibility and to he liabl e for your act i ons then you do not belong in a fraternity and you had 'bette r take off your pin.
Do not feel that as a Greek you are entitled to specia l campus consideration. Life in your chap te r house and the friendship which co m e:'> of close association more than for your fraternity membership University fa\" ors and special co ll ege privileges are th e reward s
(,57 of individual effort and accomplishment and should never be sought or simply on the strength of a jeweled or golden badge hearing Greek letters.

Evelyn Du r ham, ' 25, Quite startled the chapter by appearing after Easter with a ell X I>i n next her arrow.
Pan helleni c condi tions at Toronto have been fairly good thi s year. Under considerably revised rules for next year the girls hope 10 overcome many of
their difficulties. A rule framed by residence fraternity women embracu a more reasonable and liberal rule regarding residence freshmen who may not be enttrtained until thdr second year, and along with slightly fewer parties and a definite limitation of campaign expenlts, is to be given a trial. Iksides such routine work, PanheUenic took a step loward more constructive work by inviting Dr. Edith Gordon to outline her hcahh program at onc of its meetings, and promised itl support in her work among the women lIuden 15.
At the recent elections. a number of Pi Phis wtrt chosen (or office in various organiulions and activities. Considerable interest has been aroused by the decision to have separate class exec:uti\'es for the men and women,.. and present indications point to a marked success for th e new system.
The whole university has watched with intense interest and a certain pride Ihe development in il.5 laboratories of Dr. nanting's remarkable discovery of I nsulin for the treatment of diabetes. It is hailed as one of the outstanding achievements of the age, and the Ontario go\ernment is pJ:mnina: to es tabli )h :I c hair of rese3rch (or Dr. Banting t o enable him to continne h is work.
As the end of lhe year approaches, Ontario fully realizts the loss she will s u stain in the graduation of eight of her 'Irongest and finest members. The ,.ear has been one rich in valuable experience for nil; of pleasant and helpful cooperation with the a lumn a!; and though difficulties have arisen, they have bee n eventually s urmounted The r es ults of the annual frater nity examination sho w a gratifying improvement over last year, and testify to the chapter '!> deftire to adhere closely to the standards of n B <1 >, and worthily to represent her in the life of the university.
For the present, the girls are directing all their efforts toward mak ing a c reditable record in the approaching finah. In the interval between examinmlions and Convocalion. they are anti cipating the annuaJ house - party whi ch is to be held from May 25 to June 4 on th e shores of Georgian Bay.

In February came examinations, the junior bop, and initiation February 24. Margaret Reinck e, as Dr. Cone, was toastmistress at the banquet, and the spukers had as subjects of their toasts phrases from Coue's teachings. Miss P:r.lch and the house committee worked very hard re-decorating the sun parlor in lime for initiation. They made new curtains and covered the cushions of the gray wicker furniture wilh a lovely cretonne o( blac k, blue and orange.
Mrs. Nickerson, who recently visited the chapter, gave the inspiration and greater interest in the fraternity as a whole, which a national officer always nrouses. The l ocal alumnre club and representatives (rom the other women !s fraternities were invited to meet her at an afternoon tea, and the entertained her at a luncheon.
The junior play was well received by the general public, to whom it was opened (or the first time. n B 4> was well represented, as Helen Delbridge was assistant general chairman, and every other juruor had some share in cast, c horu s, or committee work.
The senior play is to be a pageant, Sherwood Forut, for which all the senio rs are trying out.
The interest of the women o( the campus is still centered in the cam puign for the new women's building, and nil the fraternities are earning money for it. Under the auspi ces of n B fj) a l oca l company wHl give a clever puppet show. and as the expenses are small, the girls hope to cont ribute a large sum (or their share Ihis spring.

As Mrs. Cabot is a patroness of the chapter, nnd has n 4l girls to nssist her in serving, some cred it for this is also given to them .
At the election of next yenr's officen of various campus orgnnizations the chap ter is well r ep r esented on the list o( nominees, (or three members are cand idates (or the three highe s t positions which women may hold at the university. JT B t> has been very :lctive in basketball this winter, and has won a number o( interfraternity games, the next one in which they play deciding th e championship. Eliui>eth Lauver, 12 4 , and Olive lIf c Kny, '25. were chosen on Ihe all ·star learn which was picked from the various class learns.
Uuring the time until graduation besides Founders ' Day, there will be the nnnual spring dance, an "apple blossom" bridge party which the chapter and alumnae club are giving for the benefit of the Settlement Schoo l, nnd the week· end of May 18 a house-party. at which the girls' mothers are to be the guests. Plans for their entertainment include the May festival, Cap·night celebration, a formal dinner, and an afternoon bddge tea.
tt'fichigan B has two new pledges, Catherine Coryell, '26, of Jun c tion City, Kan" nnd Geraldine Truscol, 51. Joseph, Mich.
Julia Coe, '23. from Maryland A. who is at Mi c higan this year, r ecently gave the c hapter a beautiful davenport table for Ihe living- room, and the parents of lI elen Porler, '25. are presenting a lam)l for it.

' In e plan of n hou se committee has mnde liomeone definitely responsib l e for the lillie repairs which mean lOO mu c h to the appenrance of the house.
The year witl be remembered as a. pleasant one by the girls of Michigall D, due 10 the wonderful improvement of the university under President Burton. the c hapter's active participation in campus affairs, nnd the great congeniality nnd happy companionship of the chapter life. Imm ed iately following the close of the university, a number of the girls are leaving to attend convention. Elizabeth Lauver.

Miss Onken's visit i!l the outstanding occurrence of the la st half of the college year. Her kindly s uggestions have done much toward mnking chapter nnd co ll ege life happier and more satisfying. The days she spent with Nebraska B were an inspiration and a delight long to be remembered
The week·end before spring vacation the chapter gave a benefit bridge breakfast for the Settlement School. It was a new type of entertainment. and all were rather anxious over its success. However, it was well advertised and the crowd was far larger than anyone had dared to hope. The profits were a pleasing reward for the hard work. The chapter is planning to make it an annual affair.
Initiati on was the followjng week, when all the freshmen were eligib l e. The next day was the first of the spring recess.
Return from vacation was followed by the visit of Mn, President. It was a pleasure to know her and to receive her ht'lpfu\ cril i ci. m.

Southern Methodist University has retently been aiven $100,000 to a theological building. It will be a needed improvement, for the student body is far too large now to be adequately cared for in the present buildings.

Dr. Barton, who was selected to fill the presidency last fall was unable to accept because of previous business connections.

It has been a very hnppy year for Louisiana A and th e chapter feels it has accomplished something. The general Panhel1enic sitoation hilS undoubtedly improved; there is little if any fratnnity rivalry or feeling. This pleasant co ndition of affairs is due perhaps to the plan of .ophomore pledging.

CHAPTER LETTERS
Herkeley dtHcbted everyone with an early sprine- this year. The hills lurned irretn Ilnd the blossoms wtre out before they were thouaht of. with a resultant more than usual in tetCil in out-of-door pleasures. The protecting bills behind the campus have become very popular for the pretty walk, they offer. Picnicing has furnished a great deal of enjoyment.
There was so much enthusiasm over the bright weather thnl the freshman class took it upon itself to plant flowers in the &arden.
The new freshmen are Eleanor Coburn, Helen Cowan, Jane Darlington, Ruth Snyder, and Mary Wilson.
The at.ding .ystem bas again been raised. Each mark is raised to the value of the onc just immediately higher, so that which is a B used to be an A. This caused considerable discouragement at first. It did not seem as if onc could get what one deserved.
Mrs. Helmi ck honored the chapter with a visit one Monday evening: on her return (rom H onolulu. She told something of the Seulement School, which go. ve it a vay personal touch.
The Stephen'. Memorial Building, recently dedicated, h3s proved to be the center of activity on the campus. There are two whole floors devoted to lounging rooms, one for the women students, and the other (or the men. TIlen there is a tea room and cafeteria, but the most popular place is the soda (ountain counter.

Impressions of convention are expressed by two delegates, living in the l&me city, one from a college chapter, the other an alumna:
The alumna's remarks are quoted. "1 shall never again say Theta type, there is no luch thing. Of that I am conTinced. Among the five hnndred present at that convention was present every imaginable type from the mOlt admirable to the leut, baby vamp• .included. One oI the convention jokes W8.I that the Southern delegation couldn't understsnd the Canadiln and they were finally driven to conYersing in French.

To make a good. loyal, willing-ta-sacrifice. year-in-and -year -out member of the fraternity there is needed four full years of fraternity experience. In four years habits and traditions take root.

WHEN ARE WE EDUCATED?
Not to assume that high schol arship though euential. h all that characteritel a successful coUege career, let us reflect upon Margaret Calder Leib'lI discussion of Education in the Alpha Gamma Delta QUlJrterly:
"We proudly go about proclaiming the fact that we as college graduates an educated. But-do we ever stop to consider that no amount of "crammiog" of books, names, dates and theories can make us ed u cated? Education as the word signifies-a leading out-is a development of ourselves, gradual ';d with ease. In other worda it is the production of the ego of each of us, our per· sonality.
"To be truly educated we should have culture with a C which denotes refinement, paille and ele'lltion of mindP-A r/aia of Phi Ma.

A. R. \Varnock , B (3 11, Dean of Men at Pennsylvania State, emphasizes the following points in writing of the most desirable type of fratern.ity freshman.
Fint of all, scholarship. Second, character. Third, ability, reliability and possibility. It is uselelS to try to make a chisel out of a lettuce leaf or a silad out of fine steel. It is also useless to try to make a fireman out of a man who can't hear an alarm clock when he is asleep. And it is not altogether usele , but it is rather wasteful, to try to develop even a talented man beyond his possibilities.
Of these three q ualities, reliability is as important as any, It. possession will give a man a distinct advantage over hi. fellow students For reliability, to paraphrase Roy Cohen & bit, i. what most college students have everything elit but. To take & job, to do it up brown with brains. energy, and enthusiasm, and to get it done on time is for some reason or other well nigh impossible for the majority of college students. A new chapter or a Dew fraternity will in my opinion get it. prestige sooner if it emphasizes training average fresh· men rather than picking stan.-LDurel of Phi Kappa Tau.

CLOSING TIl E ACADEMIC DOORS
Those persons who were struck almost with consternation by the opening of Dr. Ernest Hopkins, President of Dartmouth, suggesting that too many of our youth were entering college, may rest more easily on hearing the strongly contrasting words of Dr. Josiah Penniman, Acting Provo.t of the University of Pennsylvania: "To sh ut the door in the face of the eager, aspiring, earnest youah who has set his heart on coming to college and who is of good chara.cter a.nd who has qU31ified academically, by telling him that we are very sorry..that we have no room for him, is a ser i ous thing."
