THE ARROW

EDI T ORIA LS

In view of the fa ct that Pi Beta Phi a s a national fraternity has 1l1aintained a policy against smoking and has not permitted its members to smoke in c hapter house s and ha s dismissed active member s who per s isted in smoking in pubS mokin g lie, it is interest ing to note that at the recent National Pan hellenic Congress held in Boston, Mass., in February, the following re solution was adopted by the members of the Congress repre sent ing approximately 210,()(X) fraternity women:

"That Ule poliCY ot Xationnl Pnnh e ll('ni c Congre8s is ngainst smoking by active chapler in chnJ)lel' homes Or on cnmpuses ami that nlumn re and gut"EilS be asked to respect this policy 88 they do house rules."

The suggestion of a smoking room for Denver University women which was made recently was met with a storm of disapproval from the fraternity women on the campus.

In 1926 Mount Holyoke College, South Hadley, Mass., took a stand again st smoking and since then always sends a form letter to all prospective students whi c h reads as follows:

",Mount H olyoke College disapproves ot smoking by college students and has mode t h e r(>gulnUon t h llt no stu dent mRy smoke w h ile under Its jurisdiction (See tootnote «eflning jurisdiction.)- Any prospective student who is unwilling to conform to this regulation Is advised to with d r aw h e r application, as n Il students entering the (."Ollege will be considered to havo giv e n their word ot bono · to observe it. A stu· dent failing to do 80 wHi be asked to withdraw."

-A student 18 under the Jurlsdl c llon or the college fr om the time .she takCtl J)08se8ston of her room In September until cc ll ege c losca In June with the followin .. u:cepllon.e :

THE ARROW OF PI BnA PHI

1. Th e Chrls tmaa and Easter vacations and all t imes when at her own h ome .

2. Overnight absences or absences tor a l onge r time when sh e Is not under the care c f a chaperon trom the college.

3. During the day when visiting at th e home of a friend out ot t own or when In the company or h e r parents out ot town .

One of the arguments against smoking is that of health . Ther e are phy s ician s who claim that smOking does not injure health. The fOll ow ing, however, is quoted from a late newspaper article which sta tes that Dr. Charles L. Barber of Lansing, Mich., told the annual convention of the American Association of Medic o-Physical Re search that-"a baby born of cigarette-smoking mother is sick. It is poisoned and may die within two weeks of birth. The postmortem on such children shows degeneration of the liver, heart and other organs. Sixty per cent of all babies born of cigarette-smoking moth e r s will die before they are two years old."

At a meeting of the Dads As soc iati on of the University of Illin o is held la st fall, President Kinley said : "Smoking by girls is not a question of right, it is a question of maintaining a standard set up by mankind in general, that women should be placed on some sort of pedestal where they may be worshipped as something which is fine and good."

As an orgil11ization endeavoring to uphold the highest id eals o f womanhood , Pi Beta Phi i s gratified to find the other national women 's fraterniti es maintaining a policy against smoking.

The cover photograph of th i s issue of THE ARROW was supplied through the courtesy of the Knoxville, Tennessee Chamber "f Commerce, the photograph having been taken by Thompson Brothers. Thi s view was taken in early Our Cover morning and shows the Chimney Tops, fr om the west prong o f the Little Pigeon River, and gives a good idea of the ruggedness and primitive beauty of the Great Smokies. The s ides o f the se towering peaks are almost perpendicular. A new highway, passing at the base of the Chimneys puts thi s beauty spo t within an easy two hours ride from Knoxville, "The Great S,noky Mountains City." In

the department, News From Littl e Pigeon, will be found an article telling of the new nati on al park whi ch will soon become a reality at the door s tep o f our S ettlement School.

Pi Beta Phi welcomes Theta Ups ilon into full membership in National Panhellenic Congress, and Sigma We l co m e Phi Beta into associate membership. The total number of national women's f raternities now assoc iated with Nati o nal Pan hellenic Congres s ha s reached twenty -two .

Did you ever s top to think that you wh o are taking a general liberal arts cours e should give as much time and consideration to your studies as the man who is taking up some profession? The day may come when your knowledge may Scholars hip help to solve a very weighty problem or when some duty which you must perform will demand accurate information. The man who is preparing himself to become a s urgeon knows that he must obtain all the training and knowledge possible as human lives may depend upon the skill of his operating lance. Do not have simply a high grade as your goa l, but rather the acquiring of definite, usab le knowledge.

To quote from the Caduceus of Kappa Sigma: "Good scholarship is simply doing your job as you will have to do it wh en it means your bread and butter."

The entire fraternity sho ul d congratulate Oregon Beta at Oregon State College upon its splendid record this year. Recently this chapter recei ved a letter from the regist r ar of the college commending it on "good leadership, careWorthy Prais e fu l selection of members and r ea l s incerity of p u rpose." A lthough other chapter hou ses at that institution had thirty per cent of the ir pledges i neligib le for initiation under the co ll ege rule, Pi Beta Phi ranked first with not one ineligible but 100 per cent eligible!

THE ARROW 0" P, BETA Pili

A new department will appear in each future issue of THE ARROW under the title of HNationa l Panhellenic Congress ." Miss Loui se Leonard, A lpha Gamma Delta, outgoing chairman of N. P. C. conceived the idea of having a nationN . P. C. News al comm itt ee to give uni form information about N. P. C. which would add to the knowledge of and intere st in n at io nal Panhellenic affairs. This Committee 011 Education and Info rmati on of which Pi Beta Phi's National Panhellenic Delegate. Amy B. Onken, is chairman, will prepare copy four times a year , for a unif orm page of educational information concerning N. P. C. which will be sent to all fraternit y magazines. The other members of the committee are Mrs. Knote of Alpha Xi Delta and Mis s Sawyer of Alpha Phi.

On April I , the Express-Courier Publi s hing Company owned by George C. and James G. McCo rmick, was purchased by a corporation of which t he following men are officers: Alfred G. Hill, president; Oscar B. Seyster, vice president: and Otto Unfug, secretary. Mr. J-lill , until recently , was part 0 W n e r of the Arkansas City Traveler of so uthern Kansas. He is well known as a co ll ege football official , as well as a Our P ubli sh ers newspaper man . From 1920 to 1924 he was sec retary of the Univers ity o f Kansas and previou s to that time worked on the Topeka Capital, and Philadelphia Public Leader, and th e United Press in Washington, D. C. He is a member of Beta Theta Pi.

'Mr. Ullfug is a weB known Colorado new s paperman. F or four years he was editor, manager and part owner of the Wals""burg llldepelldellt, and disposed of his interest in that publication to become associated with the Expr ess- Co rier. He is a member of Phi Kappa P si, atte.nded DePauw Unive. r sity and is a graduate of the University of Missouri.

Mr. Seyster wh o ha s made his h o me until recently in Arkansas City is a graduate of the University of Kansas.

The members of the Express - Courier staff will remain the same as under the McCormick administration with W. A. Berry of the job printing department directly in charge of THE ARROW work.

As a matter of courtesy, will all alumnre receiving letters concerning the organil.ation of new clubs in their vicinity please acknowledge these letters. These letters which are sent out by the Province Vice President to scattered Courtesy alumnre are sent with the hope of bringing together unorganized alumnre and helping them to become more intimately associated with the work and interest of the fraternity. SOlne have answered the letters and as a result new alumna! clubs have been formed; others, however, evidently toss the letters into the wastebasket , Please remember rhat our loyal province officers are giving their time and assistance in strengthening our organization. They deserve at least the courtesy of a reply from those addressed.

\Vith the publication of this of THe: ARROW, 1 am on account of health, bringing to a close my work as ARROW Editor and as a member of the Grand Council of Pi Beta Phi, in order to devote my time to special writing at home. The decision to give up the work which has for so many years been a vital part of my life has not been an easy one to make, especially on acco unt of the personal contacts and associaAu Revoir tions which it b r i n g s. \Vhatever s uccess TH£ ARROW may have attained during the seven years I have been at the helm is due to the loyal support and interest of the members of '1'l1}O: ARROW stafT, the fratern ity of fi cers, the publishers, and innum erable Pi Beta Phis scattered in all parts of the g lobe, for which I am deeply gratefu l.

Words cannot express my appreciation of the friendships formed through my national work; and the joy of fashioning and directing the biggest women's fraternity magazine ha s been immeasurable. May you all give added int erest and yo ur loya l support to my able successor. At< Revoir.

ANGLES OF' PARIS

B)' \Y rLOF.R, Xorth Dak'ota A PI Bt'ta Phi Fi-Ilow, 1 !1:n·:?8

NGLES of Pari.." frankly a pUll, must h e fo r givab le in thi s in sta n ce, for surely nothing e lse wo uld cover the widely di ve rgent idea s to be her e i n expressed Bromidically eno u g h , that is th e way tra\'eJlers ahroad a r e affected; pote ntial \ 'o lum es lurk around e\'ery (orner and the no\'ice w ith the pen find ;;; hilll sc lf at th e ta k of choo ing a s u bject far w orse off than Pari s with the golden app le.

S in ce my u se of the fellow shi p has been in the st udi os of Paris, m y mind first turns to the trend in decorati ve arts. Perhap s, you h a v e not ice d it, and yo ur co nclusion is the sa me as mine, that designs are he co ming In 0 r e angular.

Iy apparent t han its s killful ma s kin g with fine drau g htsmanship and painting; whereas modern art base s its appeal o n pattern, that b e ing frequentl y the on ly appeal there is. Of course w e s peak now of th e purely aesthe ti c, but th e ruthle ss moderns care not for the acclaim o f th ose wh o like their art flavored with sentiment, or wh o sh o w er praise upo n photographic cle ve rness. Still, upon viewing

THE ARR OW OF Pr BETA PHr

the Salon of Independent Artists, one wishes some of their work could be tempered with sanity.

Because I wished to know hi s viewpoint, I studied painting for a while with Andre Lhote, one of the best of the presentday painters in Paris, sometimes classed am 0 n g the cubists. His primary consideration is the pattern, though like all who ha ve attain e d fame, he can draw well. To him the model on the canvas is not merely the model on the stand, but the treatment

of every square inch surrounding her has been given careful attention Uninteresting contours are suppressed by the employment of neutral color or by juxtaposing a similar value, and fine lines are inver se ly given increased importance. All line directions, could they be filtered from the canvas, should prove stimulating.

But I must not be led into a dissertat ion on modern art, which is so fa sci nating and so difficult to pigeon-hole. I hastily mention it s principles simply to show how painting link s up with its relatives , textile-des ign, architecture, interior decorating and the like . Everywhere is evidence of the adjustment of lines to give pleasing effect, hence there is a much higher percentage of abstract design than we have observed before on the market. Since the designer plays his tune with lines and the spaces they make, we have, as we might expect, a great many purely geometric symphonies.

PALAIS DuLOUVRE

This trend is most readily observed in textiles and is more marked in Paris than in any other city, All patterns are in flat tones so adaptable to fabric and are without any suggestion of realism of moti f. Surely these modern prints are a decided relief after the deluge of fl owers und er which we have labored whenever we wished a figured dress or a cretonne hanging, Even curtain net is displayed in vigorous cubistic weaves. It is so attractive that I can't help glancing with a sigh at the curtain of my hotel window u po n which overweight cupids cavort with ropes of cabbages, Interior decorating has stimulated and has been stimulated by this n ew blood in design, and the change in furniture design is astonishing, In the Salon d'Automne the decorators of Pari.

'£EXTILE DESIGN

Til>: ARROW OF PI BETA PIlI --

exhibited furniture in which usc, simp licity , and suitability were extreme keynotes. A beauti fully finished wood was the feature to be enjoyed rath er than fine carv ing, and inlay wa s much used. It i s quite severe and in many instances m odern room s seem t oo cold and impersonal. 'fhe furnishing and str u ct ur a l lines of the room always harmonize; the curved Ii oe of a sp iral stair -case may s uppl y the predominant note to be repeated in c urvin g chairs and oval rugs. Sim il a r patterns enrich tape st ry, rugs, curtains, and upholstery. Any period influence i s ent ire ly absent as these interiors mark the birth of a period with di s tinction of it s o wn . The emp loyment of co lor in striking manner and of iro n-work is attractive.

And now I'm off at the mere mention of the ferronnerie of today. It i s at ollce one of the simp lest and most "atisfyin g forms of artistic express ion. The work of Edgar Brandt is noted, but there is a horde of others whose intricacies in iron are fascinating. The co mbinati ons of black and gilded parts, the vigorous line s to which the metal lends its elf, and its achievement of delicacy with strength eminent ly s uit it for architectural p u rposes.

Ir o n-work is not alone in it s development; glasswork-at which one thinks of La li ql1e-and it s u sc in window s, doors, lightin g fixtures, and even bath-tubs (suc h an art i c I e of housefurnishing done in g lass relief sounds like an excerpt from C inderella and was ju st as l ovely as though it had been) forces our attention to it s unu s ual form and decoration. In fa ct, leo 11 I d enumerate in boresome detail the e.xtended influence of modern art; jewelry, gold, s ilver, an cl brass work, pottery, all merit lengthy discourses .

fulness to nature is sftcrificed if distortion gives a more satisfactory play of similar and oppo.ing directions. Some sculptors ape the serene primiti\'c art and others lean so far in distilling the aesthetic as to produce abstract structures without rhyme or reason to the uninitiated. J must confess to belong to this class when confronted with 3n inspiration such as I saw in o ne gallery: upon a block of polished wood stood a sp her e of sandstone bored through the center like a very indigestible doughnut, th ereon a disc of ni cke l with an oval disc of nickel perpendicularly erected. It s beauty l11ust lie in I!rea t breadth of interpn:tatioll, but it does seem to st retch a point.

\Vhile on art and artists perhaps a word about the studios might not come especially to those of you who contemplate foreign study. I f you study anything in Paris, you'll li,'e in the Latin Quarter. By some connotatio n that is an unfortunate name because to those who are not familiar with the city it conjures up a mental picture not unlike New York tenement s with perhaps a few AIJ.:1.ches with knives in their teeth scattered about. In reality it is as clean and thriving as any other part of the city. Also, it is cheaper and there is f..1.sy access everywhere. Aside from this, even i £ YOlt can afford the ChampsElysees, you would enjoy living in the Latin Quarter. Here you will find the Sorbonne, the Beaux Arts, and th e infinite number of private art sc hoo ls and studios . Therefore, here flock students of every race and nationality, including a s urprisingly 1 a r g c percentage of Americans. The Latin Quarter ha s retained for centuries the name applied to it as a s tud en t quarter in the olden days, wh e n a student was proficient in L.1.tin and Greek. It IS indeed the most cosmopolitan part of that cosmopolitan city.

I cannot speak concerning the national schools, but the studios I know well. They are so mu ch older and dirtier than you expect. Yes, there are a few newer places, but the old rambly ones with parquet stone floor s, and exterior signs that boast of the antiquity that is obvious within, are the more interesting. In one are the rickety, narrow, dark stairs up which Trilby is supposed to have climbed with milk for Svengali. The class-rooms are alw oys crowded and hot, though it seems incredible that one

TH ' ARROW OF P, BETA PHI

small round stove could be re spo n s ible for all the heat, and /1001 s, walls, ease ls, or anything in s ig ht bea r the evidence of paint or clay gone astray. As for the students-there are beginners whose boneless drawings bespeak no future excellence, hoary heads, whose meticuloJ S draughtsmanship ha s never had the living breath of imagination , and fiery moderns who scoff at everything and to ss a s ide all existing m e thods of repre se ntati o n, young Columbuses, who hope that by seeking a new route to India, they may discover a continent.

There is at once an air of conce ntrated endeavor and carefree enjoyment. One feels a certain earnestness of purpose whil e in the studio that is entirely absent when the same beings arc seen in a cafe. Th at is the enjoyable part of it-when the air becomes too stifling, it is just a s tep to a cafe, and then back to work again. True the cafes are crowded with artists who never paint and s tud en t s who never st udy , but that is not OUf worry. Indeed no one appears to worry and all degrees of poverty are, on the surface at lea s t, met with equanimity. I h a v e chuckled so much ove r th e rem a rk of an art student whose finances were in a most precari ous condition. Her clothes, as well, showed the ravages of time and this day she wore a dress from which she had cut th e collar. As someone called her attention to the frayed edge about her n ec k, she exclaimed in apologetic embarrassment, "Oh dear, y o u ' ll think I didn ' t pay any attention to my dress , whereas I really turned that in very carefully I"

Nowaday s there is little chance that the artists of real possibility will waste away for lack of recognition, or from lack of opportunity to reach the public eye; but rather from the fact that so much of little value reaches the public eye that it closes from pure weariness. There are five well-established salons of painting held in Paris. Of these the Salon des Artistes Francaises is the grandfather and represents the old established French school. The jealous blindness of its leading lights, who were also the heads of the Beaux Arts Academie, in refusing to admit Manet and other newcomers, caused the birth of the Salon des Beaux Arts, its name, a decisive jibe at the old Academie, as much as to say, "Not you, but we, represent fine art." This Salon, too,

A KeLtS 0" PARIS 761

became bigoted and its exclusion of Matisse, Cezanne, and other young painters of promise, opened the way for the organization of other exhibitions. There is now the Salon D'Automne, which is not difficult to enter if o ne has friends among the members, the Salon des Independents, where wall-space can be rented by anyone, and the Salon des Tuilleries, which out-shines all others. The artists are here invited to exhibit, several works of each being shown, and in it is found the highest level of ability.

Of course, there are the innumerable private galleries with their constantly changing shows. A man i s considered fairly established when he has been granted a "one-man show" by one of these. Failing all these, the diligent artist still has an outlet He can exhibit with "The Horde" of Montparnasse. This is quite an amazing sight in the Latin Quarter. From Boulevard, Montparnasse for four blocks down Boulevard Raspail the parking in the center of the street is a double row of stalls. Each stall consists of about three burlap screens upon which its lessor has arranged with more or less ta <;te the efforts that he fain would sell. It is never sa fe to make very pungent remarks upon the canvases as the creator is sure to be near by in case a true WOfshipper of the art s should be sufficiently impressed with the merits of his work to touch the purse-strings. Contrary to expectations, this is not the place to see the most eccentric daubs, new freaks in art and so on; instead, the large majority are the flower paintings that decorated our best parlors in the gay nineties, studio nudes, and other subjects painted in a tame and uninspired manner.

There is quite a contrast between the French and the German schools and students. The German nationa l schools of art are extremely di ffieult, in fact, practically impossible to enter, but there are private schools to take care of the large number of eager students. My time has been too short in Munich to permit me to speak with authority or to draw any authentic comparisons. I can give only my impressions so well embodied in the shoes of the two countries: The German shoes-large, comfortable, good material, well-made, and practica l, the French-not so well designed for comfort, not SO well made, but withal more charm ing.

For the entire royal family the king, and about seven princes and princesse-s att e nded.

It Is obligatory that e ve ryon e mu s t be scated before the king enters. So we found the Concert Hall filled with severa l thousand p :-op le A. brJllinnt much b e-jew e led nudien ce. The aristocracy and "The Int.elligentin t, of nil S,"vcden were gathered to do homage to these five for e igner s wh o m they bad chosen to bon or with Nobel Prizes.

He closed by saying that ArthUr will now receive from the klng's own hand the highest uward that Sweden ha s to offer-uThe Nobel Prize io Physics." Arthur bowed and walked ove r to King G u stav who was standing. The king shook bands with him and in good English told him how glad h e wa s to so honor bim with the Nobel Prize and then hand ed him the beautiful Gold Medal , bearing on one s id e the portrait ot Alfred Nobel and on th e other a lovely "relier' showing the student unveiling knowledge. He also gave him a lo ve· Iy tooled leather case containing th e certificate ot presentation all done by hand and beautifully painted. 1t wa s so bovts" nnd American the way Arthur thanked the king and shook hands with him (the others nil did mu c h bowing but see me d afraid to spe.ak).

It would seem to m e t hat the success of Bryn Alon, 'Ulustrated by its te n prospero u s seaso n s, is d e rived trom the operative theory that Idlen ess creates unhappin ess. It consequently e ndeavors to see that ench and E'lve ry girl tok e s part In certain activities, tor there nrc ' many girls, who if they nrc permitted, would enjoy nothing but the fresh nir. A girl, howe,'er, Is supe n ' lscd 80 that s he d oes not Indulge In too many activities, thereby c au s in g b e r day t o beco me too s trenu o us. It a girl's physical examinatio n (0 r es id e nt physician and two train e d nurses are in Camp) given her on entering Ca mp reven ls nny weakncss barring her from a ctlv lti ee, sbe too, i s given a daily routine in k eep ing with b e r endurance and co nditi o n J read today that all radicnli s m r es ulted trom idl eness Th ere should be n o radicali s m nt Bryn Ato n.

Bryn Afon hu s on e outstanding t eat ure not nlway s foond In other cnmps- it truin s in eac h activity. \Vh en a girl leaves Camp, she has not only been o n n t e nn is court, but she has le arned to play tbe gam e; sh e bns n ot o nly bee n i n t h e wate r, but she has learn ed to swim, not one stroke, but the br oost, back, s ide and crawl. I reca ll di sti nctly whe n [ first went to Bryn Afon, T thou g ht I could dive be· CRuse I was f earl ess abou t fulling Into the wnter. In n short tim e I r ea lized thnt n o oll e spoke of b e in g able to dive until sh e knew mnny clives and did th e m in good torm . The ef fi cie n cy of this training is bro ught about by th e in siste n ce on the part of Mi ss Br oadbrldge that Ntch co unse lor be a sp ecialist in her field.

Th e camp C<tuipment i s quite a s outstanding a fe ature 8S the training. At the time I wa s at Camp, we commented frequ ently on the extensiveness of equipment- the almos t lavishness of expenditure for the comtort of th e girls, Since that tim e, howev e r, a sailboat ha s been added to the already abie fleet o f caDoes and rowboats; n e w diving equipment hn s b::'C n in sta lled; c ar efully sel ected Ke ntuc ky sad· di e horses hav e r ep la ced th e Wi sco nsin saddle variety; a new athleti c field and bask e tball court bn ve r eplaced what w e termed a most excell e nt nthletlc field; u du ck p on d ha s been Instituted for the begin· ning s wimmers, so th at th e y may have more Incentive to lea\'e the du c ks and j oi n the s wimm e r s ( Bryn Afo n ha s olways boasted 1000/" swimmers). Th e delay of the laundry arr ivin g from Rhin e lander induced Miss Broadbr id ge to build her own steam laundry el ec trica lly operated lJy w o rk e rs; a c raft s tudi o on the edge of th e lake bns been e r ected in which wood ca rving, tieing and dyeing, w ood blocking, weaving and sketching are off e red in r egular class work fo rm.

The kltcb en equipment , m ost of wbieb is electrically manipulated, is greatly responsible for th e appeti zing tood. serve d at Bryn Aton. Two trained dietitia ns supervis e the co lore d cooks, wh o make all the c akes, mutfins and pi es In a se parate bake s h o p . ]0 rnlsing all its Own veg·

FIT were possible for me to repo n 0 f th e 1927 graduates, "ye are all honorable women," my joy would be unbound, '-l ed. Of course, that is not my privilege. Neverth eless, I am pleased to be able to li st the names of hon o r graduates for last year in number as large as u sua l. which is particularly grati eying since I believe that complete reports were no t made t .J mc. In an endeavor to prevent any omissions in th e future. either of biographies or of pictures, the fraternity is planning a special blank form for the use of chapter scho lar ship committees in reporting hon or graduates each June. But to the report at hand! It is of spec ial interest that we note the high place Pi Beta Phis are making for themselves in dramatics and public speaking The large number of honors won in this field of study is quite marked. Two girls were awarded membership in the National Collegiate Players, Charlotte Winget of Minnesota A and Jane Gaston of Wisconsin A. Lucille Womack of Texas n made an enviable record, receiving membership in both T K A and Forum. Alice Fehr of Pennsylvania A was given co llege honors in both journalism and dramatics, although she majored in education. She also was graduated magna cum laude. Dorothy Tilden of Illinois n was elected to II K and then honored by :£ T and II r M, to other professional societies, after which she received membership in <I> K <1>. She completed her college COurse in three years. To this must be added the names of Jeanette Baer of Maryland A, Marilrances Ogle of Indiana r, and Alma Hill of Missouri A

Jessie L. Purves, of Illinois Z, was a prominent athlete. Virginia D . Reck , of Iowa r, was awarded a scholarship to Yale University (to ward a Doctorate) and a fellowship from Yale

Dr Mc MIchaels' father wa s the second preSident of the college. serving tor nineteen years. An uncle ot Mrs . McMl cbnc ls was one of the founders and ardent supporters of Monmouth. Her father and mother both attended Monmouth, and became engaged there. She and Dr. McMlchaels attended Monm outh nnd there began their romance Her daughter and son-tn-law attended Monm outh nnd becnme engaged there and nre now married With 80 much of Monmouth In her famUy tradition it is not s urpri sing that the sentiment nbout the old campus appeals to Mrs. McMicbaels very stro ngly.

Wh e n s he opens ber door every m o rning th e r e is usually a row or red -eyed wom PJl and cblldreD waiting tor her One day last w eek she no SOO ner stowed he r bat away thnn an expansive matron In pur · pIe organdy m oved O\'er to th e arm c hair bes id e her des k. She drew out a frayed dump r emnant of a handkerchief and !IDift'ed. "Yes?" qucrled th e woman attorney, looking r eg retfully at the bn s kct of papers a waiting her s ignature.

" It 's about my hu sband, " was th e in ev itable beginning. 'l' here were a f e w more snltrs. The handkerchIef was wadd e d up a little tighter Tb e purple o rgandy rustled convulsively.

"Is it- is it true," the vis itor began again, "that h e can have a year's vacation trom me?" Th e attorn ey was puzzled . " Just what kind of a vacation 1"

The purple matron sniffed three tlm es nnd launc hed Into the story. " He hasn ' t been co ming hom e unUi 2 and 3 o'clock in the morning," abo d ec lared. "And when I asked him t o come In ee.rller he went to bis lawyer about it and when he c ame home be said bls lawyer told bim he didn't have to do wbat I waDted tor a year- be could just take a vacation."

The next caller de manded , "I want my alimony, Henry hasn't paid me for tour months and says he won't pay me." Miss O'Bryon weIgbed the matter. " Of course he bas to pny you, tell me, weren't you up In the muni c ipal court last week tor bootlegging"!" The caller

flusbed, "Well, you see," she hedged, "it wasn't really my tault. Hen· ry got into my basement and planted two pInts of wb ls ky there aod told the police about it. It was spite work."

When the row of chairs in th e corner was cleared, Miss O'Bryon remarked, "Did you ever notice that the man wh o Is divorced and whose wite bas married again always wants the new husband to support the children that the first man brought Into tbe world?

And- did you ever notice bow many wom en go to court and swear that they've been COl'ere(} with black nnd blue marks by their husbands? I CRn't believe tbis Is n city of wlfebeat e rs, yet you 'd think the busbands of Portland are n terrible lot when you henr about them In court. I tlnd that a great many wom en manufa ct ure details of cruel and inhuman treatment In order to get their div orces and their husbands permit them to go on the sland an<1 testify that way.

"I used to get the couple up to my private office together and try to smooth things over, but some days it got so rough we had to close the doors while the principals fought nnd argued . I had to get a deputy sher11r only once, and that was in a case where a young man refused to care for hIs wife, who hod a IJnby n few weeks old. We marched him up to jail and bad n complaint sworn out for him wblle he wns on the way up, still arguing about the case."

The most annoyIng cases that come in are the Imaginary ones, where the wUe gets so jealous she weaves a fabric of almost pure tic· lion aod believes In it. Three Urnes a Mrs. B called at the DistrIct A.ttorney's office to complain that her husband was making love to his stenographer Mrs. Z, whose husband was getting a dh' ol'ce trom her, Mrs . B. maintained she could bring witnesses and evidence against Mr. B. The latter heard about the complaint and called on Miss O'Bryon. He was greatly worrIed, "Why I don't cnre a bit tor Mrs. z," he maintained. "She lives in our neighborhood nnd works in my office. Sc \'er al Urnes she has been OU the s nme street eR r going to or from work, and naturally I have spoken to her. My wUe must have seen us. She imagines that Mr . Z Is getting a divorce on my account."

Another separation wns averted before It e,'er got to court when a very much worried Mrs T. appeo.red on th e scene o nc mornIng. She walked up nnd down th e floor and spoke in litlle gasps. She bad found a torn up picture of a woman In her husband's clothes and In his desk a partially written letter commencing "Dea r LUlIao." Mrs. J . had worried about it and had spoken of the tl.nd to her ne ighbors. Somehow ber Buspicions had been com'eyed to her husband a rall· road conductor. Just that day he had telegrnphed ber not to meet him when his train came in. Mrs. J. had to run to th e district attorney with her tears. "Maybe the picture was one he found on the traio" Miss O' Bryon reasoned. "Well, that's just what be told me," said

tbe nervous wife. "And mnybe he was writing the letter for someonE\ else:' the atton1ey suggested. " II e said he was writing It for the porter," the wife supplemented.

"I think I would go home and get your husband the finest kind ot dinner tonight then come back it you hu\'e any more trouble, " Mi ss O'Bryon ad\ lsed. Mrs. J never cnme bnck.

A dentist on e day not long ago was subpoenaed on complai nt of his wife to eXlliaio why he was making love to his office girl. The dentist came in fear and trembling. At first he would say nothing, but, becoming coD\'lnced he W88 about to be sent to jail, he talked more readily. Be was n big, tnt mao.

Miss O'Rryon looked at him sen-rely "What nre you going to do ubout it 1" she demanded.

Tbe tnt dentist Quavered. " W-w -well, T·I guess I'll have to be good." And he has been ever sLoce.

The most pitiful cases thnt come before the womnn attorney are those of non-support of parents. An nged coupl e, both In the seventies, nppeared In her ofOce to complain about. their chUdren. The old mother was blind and both were very Lotlrm. They had been Jiving with a daughter, who had so many ch ildren sbc could no longe r offord to look out tor the grandparents. Two other prosperous child ren bad refused to hft ve 8nytbl01 to do with them.

A kindly old woman was brought In by a minister, who told her story. She had eight children, but nonf\ ot them would ca re for her . Sbe had beeo boarding, depending for ber support on a small income from some prope rty, but the ch ildren bad lately taken possession at that aDd h e r landlord had put her out because she owed him money. She went to the mlnlster, who took her to the court house. " J might just as well go dowll and down and out tor nil they care," s h e said regretfully in telling of the eight husky sons nnel daughters she had raised.

There arc not always tears in the ofOce; sometimes there are threats. A burly Illlln , accused of falling to support his wife and three babies came In to find out If hi8 mate had not been com plain · Ing about him to headquarters. She bad been receiving money trom the county to help he r along. Meanwblle h e r spouse had purchas ed a cedar chest tor one of his woman friends and a plnno for another. Wh en he stalked In his face was covered with scrntchM. He declared he was going to get a warrant for his wife's arrest on a c barge ot assault ond battery. "Is that all she did to you?" Miss O'Bryon Inquired. "She ought to have done a better job wbUe she was at It."

Up rose the burly man , seemingly about to cuplode with rage. Be turned on his heel and made tor the door, announcing to all present that he was going after n gun wIth which to "finlsh" the deputy dlstr:ct attorney, but he falled to come back.

(The following very Interesting letter wal!l sent to Mrs. R. D. Brown, Calalocuer. by Evelyn G. Richmond, New York 4, Ccrnell University.)

Villa Montmorency route de FreJus. Cannes (A.M.) FranC(! March 11, 19"..8.

My J)ear Mr s. Brown:

I am writing to give yon my address t or I am "ery nnxlous to continue to receive my ARROW. 1 hav o mi ssed it 80 mu<'b this fall, tor as [ did Dot bring a copy with me .from Puris to Cannes, 1 did not know to wbom to send my new address

So this evening I was quite delighted to see on a table in the lobby ot n hotel the NovNJlber issue of THE ARnow I asked how it happened to be there and was informed J.hat some guest bad lett it. I obtained permission to take it and have been reading It eagerly. fI shall be at the address given above until June 1, In case it Is not too late for the March ABROW. But I should like to have the .lune ARROW sent to Ole in London, please. As I ba\' e not yet a definite address there, you might send it in care of the American Exl)Cess Company, 6 Haymarket. London. Later when 1 have 0 permanent address there I shaH send it to you.

1 bave now over h ere more thall 8 year ond one-half andl am Quite in love with Europe. 1 came by wny ot the Mediterranean, land · ing at Naples. ThN'e 1 suw all the "sights," Pompeii, Vesuvius, AmalO , Sorrento and Capri wUh its wo.ndertul Blu e Grotto, I saw Rome. I!-'lorence, Plsa, Siena. Venice, Milan nnd the Itallan Lakes betore golog Into Switzerland, Lucerne and Interlll ken. }"' roUl there I went to "Old Heidelberg" and then took that memorable boat trip down the Hhine PIlst tile Drncbenfels and the Lorelei to Cologne, with Us cathedral no less beautiful Ulan Milan's. After visiting Brussels I went to Parls , where all last year I tnught English in an American school. Paris, of (,ourse, is fascinating. On e never really knows it, though I poked Into tbe oddest corners. And I managed to take every po8slble trip to tbe i,uteresting places about Paris: Versailles, lI-'olltameblenu, Malmalsoll, Compiegne, Pierl'efonds, Chantilly, S e nlls. to the lovely catbedrals at Chartres, Ithelms, Amiens, ond Beauvais, to Rouen, that most lnteresting town in Normandy with 011 Its Joan d' Arc history. ond the other Norman towns, emn, Ltsleux, and Dayeaux . with Its famous WlIllom the Conqueror tupestry. Then 1 saw some of quaint Brittany, too: St. l-fn l o, Dlnard, 8nd the lovely abbey at Mont St. Of course I made a trip to the Chateaux along the Loire from Blois, Tours and Orleans

THE ARROW OF P, BETA PHI

In June nnd July I had a delightful trip to England. To nnyone interested In English literature. England Is fascinating. First we went to Scotland and from Edinburgh, most charming or clUes, nnd Glasgow , visited the Scott country. the Trossa chs, Loch Lomond nnd Locb Katrine, Melrose, Abbotstord , etc.

Then to England througb Carli s le. J spent abo ut ten days in the Lak e District at Winderm e re. Ke s wi ck , Grosmere, etc ., th e country wh e re \Vord s worth . Coleridge and De Quincey Ih"cd. Th e n to Chester, a quaint English city with Its walls and Ches11lr e cnt. From here we saw some ot the lovely Wnl es country. Thell down to London where one could stay forev e r with out exhausting Its posslbllitles, and wher e onc ha s to be content with seeing the m os t famous building and th e greater art galleries nnd the "old Curios ity Shop" aod John's sent in the "cheshire cheese."

The multitud e s o t faSCinating places oot far trom Londoo tempt one to prolong one's stay. Eve ryone ot course sees Strattord-on-Avon and Oxford and Cambridge with Pete rborough Cathedrnl nea rby. And Hampton Court, the castle at Wind so r . Eton College, Stoke Poges where Gray wrote his famous "Elegy tn a Country Cburcllyard." But there nre other interest ing places, too: Rugby , Co\'entry, th e castles at Warwick and Kenilworth, the cathedrals at Winch es ter and Sali&bury. and sUll farth e r afield Jane Austeo's Bath , and Word s worth 's "Tlnte rn Abbey." And then one ha s seen scarcely bait ot England's charms.

I spent a restful summer In France again at Le Touquet not tar from Deauville , that Is unfortunately becoming as toshlonable os the latter, Butl the ocean bathing there Is f\1O.

I am In Cannes teaching-Latin and English in a school tor Americans. Cannes bas a dellghttul climate and tor that it is fashIonabl e In the "season" (at pr ese nt ), but I find it dull after the historic interest and charm ot ParI s or London, Monte Carlo and Nice ore even more dry, though they ar e beautiful scenically.

It Is wortb coming to the South ot France. however, not only tor the climate, but for the places ot Interest around Marseilles: Ablgnon , the Pont du Gard, Nimes and Ari es-all old Roman centres and al· mos t as tull at Roman ruins as Rom e itself.

I think my most fascinating trip. however, was thi s Christmas when I went to Spain. Barcelona. of course, i s modern Rnd cosmopolItan as a port, but still atlra cth 'e Madrid though is 8 dlsappolnt· ment-qult o the ugli es t capital I bove seen-b ut redee med by its tamous Prado art gallery with its w on der tul coll ec ti on o t ' -elasquez , Marmos. EI Grecos and Rubens. EI Escorlnl {Macaulay's "Gloomy Palace ot the Escurlal"' is worth visiting. And when I think that 1 almost neglected to go to T oledo! It Is quaint, still medieval In

appearance with Its draw-brIdge and walls, the narrow winding cobbled stree ts, its lovely Gothic Cathedral, and the home of El Greco Southern Spain, howeve r, Is most delightful of all and quite 88 SUDny in .January 88 It is provE'rblnlly said to be. W e were thrUled by the great Moorish mosque in Cordova, Its Interior 8 verItable torest ot slender pillars 80 thftt it was almost fairylike.

The donkeys amused us, too. they were bMsts ot burden carrying anything from coal to bread or flower s. And the neat wblte stone houses that gleamed In the brUllnnt sun.

But Seville Is the gayest of Spanish citie6, l){!rbnl}S the most typically Spantsll- t11c Se\'Hle of Don Junn, of Carmen (one always visits the tobacco factory where she was supposed to work). ot the "Barber ot Seville," the home of aod Murillo. With countless other attractions , too, Its Gothic cathedral. Gernlda (or golden) tower, its MoorIsh Alcazar (or fortress), etc. We were there on New Year's and watched the celeb ra tion at a simple little fOlk cus· tom. All the population (almost) gathers Into one large square and nt the st r oke ot midnight each proceeds to eat a bunch ot It Is supposed to bring good luck far the coming y ear. H e r e, too. we saw some ot tho real Spanish dancing, it is lIot like anything one sees ('Isewhere.

Grenada is equally fasclnaUng. Of it hns the Alhambra. the great es t work at the Moor s in Spnin, with its romous Court ot Lions, tamous not for its darling li ons . which are c rud ely done , but for the deli cnte tracery , on the graceful arches nnd the Rzulejos or mosaics ot blue and other colored tiles.

Th e gardens ot the GenerattO'e. the s umm er pnlace or the Moor s, were 10VNy. Also Inlerestlng was the gypsy quarter where the gypsies JIve in caves built in the s id e of a mountain. It one approaches is su rroundC'd by a swarm at gypsy c hildr en begging tor pesetas. Granada is Id en lly located at the toot of the Sle rrn Nevada mountains, always sDowclod. It was with the great('st reluctAnce that we IJld goodbye to Spain.

On the return we stopped orr at Cal·cassonne, certainly the quaintest: town in France with Its old walls and fortifications still Intact, that 1s. 8S talthfully restored by Yiol et-Ie-Duc in the tim e ot Louis XIV_ And the Hotel de 10 Cite Is charm ing-it tits Into the atmosphere beautltully in spite at its unobtrusive but perfectly complete modern Improvements.

Wh en I start wrIling about the things I've seeD, It Is <1lttl<:ult to sLop me. You see Europe has me under her spell!

Very sincerely,

Miss Reed's idea Is but one of the forerunn ers of educational progress that is bringing learning to children through JOY, rather than drudgery ,and making the school room a treasure store, rather than a bugboor.

Miss Reed is a Phi Beta Kappa nnd a graduate of the State University ot Iown. Sbe did graduate work at the University of Chi· cago and was hend of the history department at the old South Side high school.

"Mother Nature Songs" is truly delightful. Each page carries an attractive drawing, the poem, the botanical truth underlying the poem, and below, the poem set to mu s ic

It wi1l furnish hours of amusement as we11 as instruction to children and grownups.

Too, it offers opportunity for water colors as each child may be taught the color of the flowers and can paint them.

We are all familier with the clover-yet how many of us are there who know that "When it begins to get dark, the two side leaflets of the clove r approach each other face to face. Then the upper leaflet bends forward till it touches the edges of the other two. Each cluster looks as though it had folded its palm and bent its head for prayer."

In expressing this fact in rhyme Miss Berry says:

",Vhen the clover leaves send their 'good night' to the s un, They all nod in the prettiest way. They fold their hands softly and bow their green heads, If you li sten, you'll hear them all say: 'We thank you, dear sunbeams, for such a bright day, Through the night a short rest we shall take.

Good luck on your journey and please don't forget In the morning to kiss us awake, wide awake, In the morning to kiss us awake.' "

"Plants for Shady Places," is the title of an article in the April Good H oltsekeeping written by Lewis Edwin Theiss, husband of Mary Bartol Theiss, Pennsylvania B, former ARROW Editor. The article contains a picture of the Theiss home.

"Pictures of Silver," by Clarissa Tufts Jenks, District of Columbia A, has just been published by Clayton L. Jenks, I New Bond Street, Worcester, Mass. $4.00.

Mrs. Jenks passed away in 1926 after long years of illness which brought opportunity to her to observe and meditate. From these observations came the creation of the poems found in "Pic_ tures of Silver."

To many, the everyday things and tasks become proasa ic. but the author had the poetic vision to see and to pict ure the bea uty in the commonp la ce. Inspired by Love, s he wrote a wonderful and satisfying philosophy of home life; and her verse about the children will appeal to every thoughtful mother. Each member of the family will perceive a truthful and charming interpretation of the others in this group of poems.

There are two hundred eighty-four poems in the book. Many are for the children; others are about the beauties of nature; and some smile lightl y at human foibles and fancies.

Some of the poems appeared in new s papers and magazines signed with the pen name Clarissa Brooks.

During her las t days, the author expressed the earnest wish that h er poems might prove a so urce of pleasure and inspiration to many, and thus fulfill the purpose of her illness. That is why "Pictures of Silver" has been published

Margaret Weymouth Jackson, Michigan A, author of "Elizabeth's Tower" and many other stories has recently had published a series of three stories in the Saturday Evening Post: "Some Flies Like Vinegar," November 4, 1927; "Mattie's Machine," January 21, 1928; and "Office Broke," March 10, 1928.

"The one aim and d es ire I have had wa s to give the best I could and come under o ur approximate es timate. I hav e had the pleasure, by not including the commission mentioned, to come about $1589.10 under.

"I hope you will find and f ee l as I do that you have got value received for your expenditure. I r ef used work in Knoxville so that I could give my whole time and attention t o your work. I knew this had to be to get results and ju stify the responsibility placed upon me. I think I was stimulated by that responsibility and I am sure that I put my whol e so ul into it because you were so wrapped up in it-not for your own personal gain but to upIi ft neglected humanity.

"Within the par k area there are whole tract s of fore st where, even to thjs day, no human being has set foot, and on ly three or f o ur living men have traversed the crest of the G rea t Smokies from end to e nd.

""hen the Great Smokies become a National Park, a splendid highway for automobiles will traverse the entire length of that crest. The highway which is already under construction passes the front gate directly opposite our Settlement School cottages.

excellent description of Eastern Tennessee is given by 'tIleodore Marvin in Explosives Engineer of the Hercules Powder Co., under the title, "A National Park in Eastern America's Highlands," as follows:

One evening during 8 l:H>Ar hunt, H orace Kel)hart , author ot "Our Soutbern Hlgblanders," paused near Briar KnOb on the hlgb ridge which is II part ot the boundary between Tennessee ond :\orth Carolina. }'rom the Tennessee sIde rOse the noise ot a logging engine as It hauled down tbe slope the lallen monnrchs ot this, America's last groot virgin dccflluous lorest. Contemillating the derOl'csw.liou of the surrounding wilderness be apostrophized, "All thts shall be swept away. tree Rnd plnnt, beftst and fish. Fire will blacken the ea rlh ; 600d will swallow Dnd spew forth the soil. The simple-bearted nnl1,'c men and women will HCotter and disappear. In their stead will come slaves speaking strange tongues to toll in the darkness undal' the rocks. Soot will arise, and toul gasses; the streams will run murky death. Let me not see it!"

ReaUzing the possibility ot this fate tor the majestic slopes ot this picturesque mountain range, the Great Smoky Mountains Con· servation Association, headed by Mr Willis P. Davis and Colonel D. C. Chal)mnn, ot KnoxvJllc, tour years ago initiated a movement tor the preservation ot the Datural beautics ot the region. This organization's appeal tor a Datlonal pork in the Great Smoky Mountains was later augmented by support trom the Carolina civic clubs.

The worthiness ot Ule couse for which these enthusiastic groups wcre working impressed Dr. Hubert Work, Secretary ot the Interior. He responded to their petitions by appointing the Southern Appalac.b· ian Park Committee whiCh, otter eight montbs ot exploration, reported that ot several possib le mountain park sites in Eastern Un1ted States, ·"l.'be Great SmOky Mountalus easily stand Orst because ot tbe height ot the mountains, depth of valleys, ruggedness ot the area, aDd the unexampled variety of trees, shrubs, and plants."

Secretary \Vork, by congressional authorl1..ation, appointed the same committee as n commission to determine the area and boundaries of the park, and to receive definite offers of dODations ot land. and moneys. This became necessary as there was no precedent in Congre88 for the purchase of park proPerty with federal money.

'1lle commission recommended n park urea ot 400,000 ocrCFI.

Winding through 8 count ry ot green farmlands and blooming o r chards, n brond mncadam road extends to Sevie r ville and thence to Pigeon It Is (rom this picturesque village, on the west fork of the I.AttIe Pigeon IUver. that one gains n view of the Great Smokles, lying like nn enchanted land behind their curta in of blue haze.

At the Mountain View Hotel. nn inn ru s tically constructed ot h e wn logs but possessing m odern co nv e ni ences, I 'Was impressed by the exce ll ence of the hand made-turnitur e . 'l'he proprietor explained, "The mountain people make these for us tl'om native wood; even the -bottoms are woven trom 'h ickory splits.' They haven't always done as much of this work as now-a-dnys, at least not until 1912 when the Pi Beta Phi fraternity started its Settlem e nt School here. At this school , mountain folks have been taught to do lots of things." Further curiosity prompted a visit to the School shop. There w e re displayed for sale the bask e ts, pipes, rugs, towels. bed-spreads, scarfs. and other bandiwork ot the mountaineers. As expressed by Miss Rogers, one or the School stafT, "The purpose ot tbe Sett l eme nt Is to give to the mountaineers ot the Appnlachlun Mou ntain s ot southeastern Tennessee educntlonal training, the equh' ulcnt ot 8 complete e l eme ntAry And high sc h ool cou r se, with particular emphnsls 00 indu stria l and agricultural work, arts, Rod cratts.

Mount I.e Conte, which is only thirty-one feet lower than Mount Mitchell. the highest peak east ot the Rocky Mountains. Is pre-eminent In ruggedness, its gorges and glens all softened by a blanket or virgin forest. Along the mountain slopes can be found most ot the 127 species of trees , and the 174 species or s hruJJs which grow In this district. The trees at the summit are typically Can· adian, whtle the lower altitude growths are our southern types. The rhododendron is everyhe re present; laurel and azaleas bloom In protusion.

One atternoon while traveling along a road which was being blasted and sc.raped near the base of Le Conte, I encountered a mountaineer

With the proposed Great Smoky Mountains National Park becoming a reality, the nation will turn its eyes towards that part of the country on which the eyes of 18,000 Pi Phis have been focused since 1912. To the world those "creeks and hollers" which have become an intimate part of our existence will soon become realities.

As the World skims by in motor cars glimpsing the picturesque cabins tucked away on the hillsides, Pi Beta Phi will continue to carry its message of hope and helpfulness back il1to the coves and "hollers" away from the beaten trai1.

WEAVING AT GATLINBURG

weaving industry in Gatlinburg is booming. It has grown in the past three years from a small, rather haphazard business to the level of an industry of great economic importance to the families living all through this region. Every woman, with hardly an exception, has a 100111. Not all of them weave for the Schoo l , several sel1 their own weaving in their homes. while others sell to the two other gift shops that have opened here. "\Ie have no contro l over these and have no definite idea of tht! !lumher of women who are given emp loyment, except that it is smaller than ours. The communily problems that from the competition among the shops and people are numerou s and comp li cated. Prices and quality are not staba li zed among those who do not come in contact with the School, so we are confronted with a great problem of how to educate them up to the point where their pride in their weaving will help to overcome their tendency to cheapen their craft during the tourist season.

Our part in the weaving business is now a large and unquestioned influence for good among the people. It may be interesting to know that from May 16, 1927, to March 30, 1928, we have paid $8,676.64 to the wome n for their weavin g. We have tried to divide th e weaving from each home at; even ly as possib le so the thirty-eight homes that we have touched have a ll been equally benefited.

We have noticed in the past two years that the ch ildren from these homes come to school better dressed; the homes are gradually becoming better furnished, especially in the matter of Victrolas; the women themselves wear winter coats instead of thin sweate rs ; they ha ve more pleasure than ever before becam:e they now have money for an occasional trip to SeviervilJe and Knoxvil1e . Sometimes the money has to go for food because w e reach some families back in the mountains who are pitifully poor. One girl through her weaving , supplied her family of father, mother and seven brothers and siste rs with food all this winter. It finally became too much for her so we helped her to elope! Now a widow with two children is doing he r weaving.

On th e other hand, one woman told m e the other day that she couldn't pay me what she owed u s for her weaving supplies be-

cause she had to meet a payment on her car with her last weaving money. Perhaps this is just as well for baby carriages are not known in this part of the country and her youngest children are twin boys.

A Letter Written by a M ounta.l n Woman Asking tor Weaving Work

Weaving is a complicated affair and the actual making of the cloth, which is the only fun connected with it, comes after days of labor. When we added the cost of putting a dress warp in the loom we found to our amazement that we paid around $7.00 for one warp Th en before we know it, it is all woven off and we have to go through days of work of warping, beaming, threading, drawing thro ugh the sley, and tying it before the loom

is again ready for weaving. All the dresses are woven at the School under our personal supervision and we have only one girl trained to weave them. If she should suddenly get married before we train another we would be in a sad plight. Formalities, like an engagement or an announcement are unknown here. A trip to the nearest preacher or squire does the trick, and the next day I begin to look for someone to take over the work. The girls will marry and move away, so that not the least of our worries that we encounter are those of matrimony and maternity and the nurse and I do have som e things in commOll.

We have ideals for our weaving in Gatlinburg but how slowly we move toward them. We supply the finest of materials to the women because we believe that weaving is an art and as such deserves the best in order to promote the pride and joy that comes from working from 10 vel y cotton, wools, linens and silks; we insist upon the highest type of workmanship or we cannot hope to sell the weaving; we are trying to put the business on a basis of equality so all women will have a fair division of labor; we want to build up a bigger business each year so we can employ more women and reach more homes for there is no limit to our growth; we are trying to educate the people to a place where they A Weaver and h er Baby will realize that they are a part of a movement to recreate the old American colonial weaving, whose on ly present home is among the mountain people themselves. It is a joy to find a woman who has an inborn sense of color and to develop it. We have two outstanding cases. One is Izora Conner, who first started to do all our Izora weaving. Her face beams with pride wh en she brings down some n ew color scheme and we compliment her on it. The other one is Pearl Bales, who ha s made our love li est striped wool pillows. She is

supporting her family of two ch ildr en, an invalid hu sband and a y o ung sister. It is women of thi s type that we are reaching and bringing more pleasure into their lives than they ever drea med of five years ago . Before weav ing came int o th e ir h ome s they just sa t and rocked for ho ur s and hours becau se with o nl y o ne o r two rooms to live in hOll se work was r e duced to a minimum . A bu sy woman is a happy one.

Also, t oo, we have the touri s t problem to combat. The splendid pike t o Knoxvi ll e and the Smoky M ount a in s National Park m ovement is bringing the o ut side world to the very d oors of these m o untain people and so com es the pry in g, curious bargain hunte r, who goes fr o m hom e to hom e to buy wherev er the wo men will sell the cheapest t o we ls. That type does not he lp us reach our id ea ls very quickly. Then th ere is the o the r type of per sons wh o can appreci ate our work and sympathi z e with Ollr problem s and are s uc h a help and inspirati o n . Each id e., g radually w o rks it s way into the homes and that is where ottr influen ce mu s t be of the mos t careful and tho ughtful kind-to h e lp the people t o select the best and di scard th e worthless.

We want those who buy our weaving to reali ze that they are not buying j us t an art ide but that they are supplying some woman with contentment and perhap s food; th ey are helping li S to work o ut an eco nomic prob l e m o f wide s pread influence for pr og ress; they are helping t o kee p the Arrow Craft Sh o p and the Weaving Department in the community for they are se lfsupporting and all m o ney fr om Arrow Craft sales is used to maintain the ent ire Indu s trial D epa rtment.

Thi s year we ha ve in c rea sed o ur indu s tri a l business 33 percent over la st year. Vv e can in c re ase it 300 percent and o nly make a beginn ing in our oppor tunity f o r de ve lopme nt . We can supply y o ur demand for weavin g, no matter how large it may become. This is our aim and it is only thro ug h th e coope rati o n of the o uts id e wo rld, wh o demand o u r produ cts, and the people of Gatlinburg wh o mak e the products in th ei r homes, with the S chool as a medium, between , that w e can finally r eac h o ur ideal s.

Mrs . Perkins wa s a c harter m e 111 be r of Kansas A and thro ughout her life she retained close co ntact with both th e active and alumna!, she 10y al1y further ed all the intere st s of the fraternity, giving generously of her mean s to car ry o ut its project s and her large and beautiful ho rne stood always open for its soc ial gatherings.

Mr s. Perkins was a woman of the finest qualities of charac ter and spirit. A fundamental int eg rity and s in ce rity w e re her mo st di s tinguishing traits.

all s ides, and with o ut distortion. Her fine sense and her seriousness were tempered by a quiet humor There was about her a gentle dignity that one who did n o t know her might interpret as hauteur. As s he mo ved thro ugh life she met all its obligations. She accomplished mu ch, not by hurry, but by sys tem and indu stry. Mrs. Perkins left behind h er in her family, whose members loved her with an especially tender and re ve rent Jove, and in her wid e circle of friend s the memory of a no ble, love ly presence, and o f a lif e that wa s and will a lw ays remain an inspiration to them all.

WILCOX, Mrs. A. D. (Zi llah Sm ith ), Kansas A, passed a way J an uary 4, at her h ome in Lawrence, Kan. Her s udd e n death, cau sed by an attack of inAuen za f ollowed by sp inal meningitis, was a grievous s hock to her many friends . She had always been very active and h er position as sole head o f her household m ade her pas s ing unu s ually sad. Her hu sba nd , Alonzo D. Wilcox, died in 191 9 , and left her with two children , Nancy Eli zabe th, no w sixteen, a nd Irving Bennett, who is twelve. Mrs. Wilc ox was born April 18, 1880, at Leavenworth, Kan. She wa s married J line 20, 1890 , just a few weeks after her graduation from the university .

In addition to her children, Mr s. Wilcox lea ves three sisters, al\ of whom are members of Pi Beta Phi, Smith Farrell of San Diego, Calif. , Ida Smith Griffith of Lag una Beach, Cali f., and Charline Smith Fitzpatri ck of Lawrence, Kan. Mrs Wilcox was a leader in our Pi Beta Phi fraternity. At the time of her death s he was treasurer of the hou se a ssoc iation o f the Kansas A c hapt er, vice president of the Lawrence alumn ", club and the chairman o f the alumna! advisory co mmittee, on which committee she was in charge of house management and finance. Her effo rt s in thi s capacity were untiring and a week never passed but that she made seve r a l trips to the chapt er house . She took a k ee n inte rest in al\ things pertaining to Pi Beta Phi and it is imposs ible to es timate her lo ss to Kansas A.

To h er grie f s tri cke n family, we of Pi Beta Phi extend our deepest sympathy.

During this season. three at th e seven regular meetings, Octobe r, November, and ?t:1arch, were devoted entirely to the business and affairs at PI Beta PhI. At the first meeting In October, we h eard !,{rs. Alleen S. Miller's report ct Convention which was conceded by many, even torm e r delegates, to be the beet we ever had. The Club was muc h pleased to learn that Mrs. Miller had been chosen Province Vice Presldcnt. The study ot the Constitution came In Ncve mber, and made interesting In a novel way. Questions were read which had to be answered by yes or no. concerning PI Phi metbcds and Intere.tlt.8_ MI85 Sophie P. Woodman gave a talk on the s trong and weak points of the Constitution, especia lly tltrelM'llng the tact that the alumnm should be so Intelligently Inform ed ot and Interested in fraternity atralrs that they could make suggestions tor Improvcment at the traternity's buslneas e:c:ecutlcn, and that they would realize that the alumnllD body should have greater r epr esentation in national adminl.stratlon.

The llarch meeting was devoted t o the Settlement School. About ten members ot the New J e rs ey Club ac<:epted our Invitation to be present. It was an unexpected pleasure and privilege te have with U8 the Grand Pres-

Ident, Amy B. Onken, who had Just been attending the Panhellenlc Congrese In Bollton. She gave a IJplendld talk In which she told how Inspiring the Congreaa was, and how much advance there h8.8 be(!n In fraternity r e lations when th e h eads of the various organizations meet and discuss their problems. We h eard with the keen08t Intercst how PI Phi tunctlcns and holdJ!l her position In a c reditable way.

He spoke last year before the Philadelphia Alumnm Club, It was gratifying and illuminating to h ea r his esllmate and criticism of the work In Gatlinburg, H e considers the outstanding benefit th e School has co nferr ed on th c locality to be the improvement ot the economic problem of the hom e, by the manufacture and sale cf handwork. H e said the School Is unique, being the ani)' one he knows of that has raised the Incom e of the h ome. He emphasized the fact that the thing to be r e membered about work In theSQ rural communltlell 1111 that the ece nomlc and cultural levels must be developed together or the natives will leave as they become educated.

On Jun e 15 of last year, Mrs. Clyde Brown h eld a Silver Tea at h er home whe n we had a very enjoyable time and Incidentally repl e ni s h ed the treasury to help defray the exp(>nscfJ ot a delegate to Convention Mrs. Brown also arranged for our Decemb<>r meeting, as has been her custom fer several yea rs. She was mo st fortunate to sccure Mrs, Carrie Chapman Catt as speaker. Mrs. Call was, as always, cha.rm lng and genial. She spoke on matters of Int erest at the present time , particularly th e outlawing ot war

An appreciative audience at the January meeting heard I •orlne Pruett. Tennessee A, author of "A Saint In Iv o r y," tell how fascinating she finds old legends, and hew she developed h er story about this One of Sl. Genevieve. the patron saint at Paris. She also read excerpts from a book o n which she is working at prese nt.

It seemed this year, that th e most Important financial Interest to focus upon, was the n ew PanheJlenlc House. The club wished to de Its share in t aki ng stock, and, it meant, of course. that the individual members had to do it. Mrs. Beulah Kingsw ell-Smith was in cha rg e< of selling our quota. The house , long-dreamed of, Is fnst becoming a reality, as th e steel censtructlon Is completed. \Vh e n finished, rooms with eve r y ul)·to·date convenience for traternlty wom e n from a ll over the COuntry will be available at an average at $13.00 a week.

We took cu r turn at being hostesses at Sunday afternoon Tea on January 22, Mrs. E. L. l\{cKendrew. presiding.

While the raiSing of money for the Settlement S c hool had to take secend place, we hope to eQual our contrlbutJons of former years. In February, Instead of our regular m eeting. with Mrs. Lillian Ja ckso n Sullebarge r as chairman, we held a Bridge at th e Waldorf-Astoria which was a great success socia ll y as well as financially, the net proceeds being $260.00 Some time, within a few weeks, personal contributions will be scBelted.

The Founders' Day Luncheon will be h el d April 28. At the meeting In April, election of officers was held and Margaret Collyer e nte rtained with a plano recital.

Hostesses during the year were Mrs. Clyde Brown, PI Phis In J ackson Heights, with Mrs. Frary &s chairman, Brocklyn with Margaret Wood, Upper Manhattan with Mrs. Ernest T. Love. Lower Manhattan with Mrs. \Vhltaker, and Westchester with Norma Hopson as chairman.

The meetings oC the Cleveland Alumme Club arc held on th e first Saturday ot each mcnth trom October t o June, Inclusive. Because It Ie so much more enjoyable and Informal, all ot these meetings, with the excepti o n ot J:o"ounders' Day. are held at the hom ee ot dltre renl m e mb e rs. At th e bE'ginning ot the year, the club 1s divided Into committees ot eight or len members each, ene committee serving the luncheon at each meeting.

Aside from tbe enjoyable musical program which foll o wed the Founders' Day luncheon, held last year at the Hotel Cleveland, a very inte r es ting talk was given by one of our guests, Mrs, Kat e Freund Miller, th en Assistant to the Grand Vice PresidenL

The June meeting always includes th e Installation of officers f c r th e co ming year and brings all business to a ccncluslon for the three summer months when there are no m ee ttngs,

Of added Interest last summer W a!!; the PI Phi Bridge Tournament, which, aside from being very successful financially, brought groups of PI Phis all cve r the city togeth e r a number of tim es. Mrs. K cw le)' opened her home In August for the final party.

All plans for our annual rummage sale were co mplet cd at the October meeting. This sale, which was held on October 6, 7, and 8, is always a big e vent In the lives ot Cleveland Pi Phis as It makes more money for us than any other scheme we have yet found. At this meeting we also heard a repcrt of the Convention from our club delegate

A study and dlecusslon of the Con!titulion followed the Novcmber meetIng. This Is an annual practice 80 the members will always be familiar with the Constitution.

On the eve ning of November 30, an open meeting was held at th e home ot Mrs. Begg fcr PI Phis,- their husbands and friends. A very Int e resting and amusing program was given by some of the members after which an att r active lunch was 8erved. This 'Was a very enjoyable evening tor all who attended and also helped the club treasury considerab l y.

After a short business session, th e December meeting became our Christmas party. We sang Christmas carole. Santa Claus gave everyone a gift and each had a: tiny hat to wear.

The January meeting was knewn as Active Chapter Day and several unusua ll y good reporte were given. Such things always help to keep U8 In touch with what the actives are dOing.

The progra:m commIttee furnished comic va lenUnes at the February meetIng and lun cheon partners were found by matching the valentlnee. One feature ot the program was a music memory contest and it was really astcunding the names some songs were given.

Personal contributions were accepted at the March meeting which will be used to Increase our fund for the Settlement School. li'ollow;ng the meetIng a program of Mounta1n Ballads waa given by three of our members.

Alter the luncheon In April some of the members from the East side presented a very clever little comedy entitled "And the Light W e nt Out," which was most entertainIng.

Each year, a ' JOint spread Is held with the active m embers at the chapter house. There has been very close ccope r ation between th e alumnm and the active girls this year. ThLa spi r it which the club has f ost ered and hopes to continue has been en· gendered through the eltorts ot the advisory and house committees and the splendid work ot the PI Phi Mothers' Club. The a1umn., tock all the r esponsibility ot the rushing parties, allowing the girls to devote all of their time to the rushees which resulted tn a most succeestul rushing season .

THI! ARROW OF Pr BETA PHr

-and cne never ceases to marvel at the wonderful work those tolks can do!

The January gathering was one long to be remembered by the club, for on that date we were fortunate enouch to have with U8 MlBs Evelyn Bishop. Her Informal talk W8J!J very Inspiring and moat approPriate, and made us realize more than ever the vLslon ot the pecple who planned the School and the unaeln.h aervtce of those who have been responsible for Us development.

In February. al!! u8ual, the meeting wall a part ot Pennaylvanla A chapleI" Initiation with the dinner tor a,1umnte and actives followIng the Initiation. The Pennsylvania. A alumnae, ct course, are perhaps moat Interested In this occasion, but the alumnll!: of other chapters like to take this Opportunity of "renewlnl' theIr youth" and eeelng the actives In action!

At the March meeting, the club was entertained by a musical program by "local" talent which was much enjoyed indeed.

Founders' Day Lunchccn wlll occur on April 21, at Swarthmore, 8.8 last yeal", when the club will be hostess to the Pennsylvania A chapter. This year there will be a double treat In the way or guests, (or besides Mrs. Turnbull, who 18 alwaya our "very own" on that day at days, we aro to have the henor o( having wltb U8 Mrs. Curtis, Beta: Province Vice PresIdent, the fil'lt time sbe has vl.elted us. The club Is looking forward to having her then.

Thl8 year again Christmas cards were acid tor the Settlement School tund, making a profit of $500.00. In addition to that, personal subscriptions are belng alked and we are confident by the rcapcnse so tar, there will be the usual $1000.00 tor tbla work. The Pennsylvania members at our club have been faith tully working tor the "Lodge," a· large building containing smaller a.partments, now under erection at Swarthmore tor the use ot the women'. fraternities there. Each (raternlty is having an apartment in the ledge, paying tor ita construction and turnlshlngs,-a seemingly large undertaking, to be sure. The club baa been much Interested in the development o( the plans, and applauded heartUy when the vision became a · reality.

There have been no rad.lcal changes in the customs of former yeara. Secllonal meeUngs have been discussed, but most of the group like the larger group meetlnp, 80 that plan i. yet to be put Into operation. The aim &'s before, Is to have the meeungs partly of a social nature Ina.amuch as many at us eee each other only at 8uch gatherlngt5.

The monthly letters from the Province Vice President and the Settlement School have been a acurce of enjoyment and InsplraUon to aU. They have brought us Into touch with the affairs and responsibilities a8 nothIng el8e could have done. It hae been a pleasure to add to the Uat the name ot Mrs. Florence Clum Temple, who is new In the city and we hope she decides to rCD'laln with UL

Although th e Ann Arbor Alumnoo Club has been a'cUve enough In Import_ ant things tor several years to be called "grown-up" it did not take on the outward appearance ot being "grcwn-up" until this year, wh en It started with two Innovations which the In c r easing size of th e c lub mad e almost a necessit y: the printed year-book In n eat hooklet form containing the program and committees fer tb e yea r worked out by a committee In July, with the m e mbership list, the general gltl ot Wilmoth Green Barker, Mis· souri D; and the prlnled postal-cards to announce meetings have greatly lightened the work ot the secrelary.

Fer th e fir!lt tim e, too, the Ann Arbor Alumna! Club has telt justified In holding a sale tor the benefit c.t the Settlement School, since Its support has b ee n needed tor several y earll tor the local campaign at the Wom e n's League for tunds tor the Wom en's Building. That campaign is not yet over, but the building Is started. Previous to thIs year Its conlrlbutlens to the Settle me nt School had come through personal solicitations. Th e club sent out 200 invitations to alum nre In other Greek letter sccieUes, and personal friends, but the attendance from outsiders was only about fifty people, due to the tact that there were three large bridge parties on that after noon. Setting dates in July tor November is preca'rloU8 buslncssl Its own memoorshlp turned out almost 100 percent, This sale was held at t h e chapter house and cleared $55, tor the Settlement School, exclusive of t h e $24.64 cleared trom magazine subscrlptiona taken that day. For the first time, too, the club found itself in absolute need of earning m o ney tor ItaeU outside cf Its ducs, in view of the Invitation it had extended to PI Phis In the state to come to Ann ArbOr as its guests (or Founders' Day. Con· neeted with the we tor the Settlement SchoOl, then, was one (or Itself ot Colcnial Art and Florentine Chr istmas cards, which netted the club $11. tor Its Founders' Day entertal nment tund, Tea and waters w e re served to Ita guests.

The club has given Its customary parties tor the a 'c tlve girls. 8."

It has held two luncheon meetings, one of which came in July following Convention In order to hear ita r e turned unofficial delegate and Delta Province's r e Uring President, Mrs Lois Wilkinson Christian, tell about Convention. There will have been tour other meetings, devoted strictly to business, ot which there has been a great deal, with a Founders' Day and a Michigan R 40th anniversary celebration pe nding.

This really should be named specializatio n year In th e Detroit AlumC l ub his tory You know how al l professional pccp le are specializing In th ei r work these days, from th e doctor who becomes an expert on throa t troubles t o Ule photographer who gives hls complete atten ti on to c hild photography.

Then s udd e nly the members ot Mi c higan D r ealized th ey were s ixt y strong In Detroit and decided to f e llow th e polley of th e M ich iga n A 08tro llers b y organl%l.ng Into a circle of fri e nds whOse attention could be con ce ntrated on the needs and Interests of the o ttsprlng of th ei r e wn particular Alma Mater.

There WM a purposetul inte nt t o stir fri e ndships tnto activity this yea'r In & new way because our splendid president, Ma rth ena DrYbread, was chosen trom the ranks or the youngest a lumnm In order that those just emerging from co llege would feel A.' close contact with th e alumnlll of lo nge r standing.

When I explain that we can beast of eight y -six tull.fledged m embe r s, the largest active membership that has eve r been listed In th e Detroit Alumnm Club card cata log, I'm sure yOU will understand that our member_ ship chairman, Gladys Reineke Finch, and our treasurer, Frances Gat ling Wilson, have been more than busy. Th19 numbe r has been sl tted down from the approximate 150 PI Phi r es idents.

Mrs. Finch not only loca ted twenty new PI Phis and welcomed them at meetings but, when the n ew national ruling cencer nlng alumnre club' dues went Into etrec t , she personally notified the seventy-five members whose dues w ere In arrea rs that we wanted them to r emain on the active list if possible. Among other things. she brought the membership file up to date with all the new addresses, which is nO sma ll task when people move as frequently as they do in Detroit.

But after l ocating our members. that which k ept us together was the delightful program ot enthusiastic meetings that our program c hairman, Blanche Bayless Brines, scheduled tor this year. W e gathered at the Alden Park Manor ea rl y In the tall tor our first meeting. Then ca me a Hallowe'en lun c h eon and card party with its traditional yellow and black trimmings.

The largest attendance et th e year was noted at the cooky·shlne in November when K athleen Field Warner Invited us all to her love ly h ome. At this meeting we w e r e fortunate in having with us two w e ll·known PI Phis, Dr l ele G. Macy and Dr. Verglne Kahler, who spoke to the organlza. tion on h ealth topi cs.

In Dece mber the bazaar and bridge tea, with Mar y Hopkins Merritt in charge, prcved an outstanding s ucccss. 'l'wo hundred bridge tickets w ere sold, and th e tables in th e Wome n's City C l ub whcl'e our display was arranged w ere very alluring. There were handiwork products at the thimble parties the dltrerent PI Phi groups had been holding as well as many hom e-made articles, a Settlement School display, baked goods, and canned goods, alcng with candies and nu18 that were spirited instanUy to the Individual card tabl es by r eady patrons. W e we r e very h appy to have Mrs Henry Ford. who has shown such interest In the Settlement SchOOl, patronize our Settlement School tabl e that a:tternoon.

Our musical tea in Ja.nuar y w as a v ery e njoyable open meet ing, and among the guests we w ere pleased to ente rtain Mrs. H e nr y C. Wallace and her two daughters, onc at whom you know Is Miss Ruth 'Vallace.

The Valentine Party at the Detroit Yacht Club was a very lov e l y eve nt at which everyone Joined in playing bridge.

At our annual executive m eeUng r epOrts showed that cur S e ttlement School chairman. Shirley Rigdon Gibson, had not only been engaged dur· Ing the yea r In k eeping us intormed ot news tram Gatlinburg but had been banking $650.00 tor the organization which she turned e ver recently to the Settlement School. ThLs amount was gleaned mainly (rom the proceeds at the bazaar. which yielded almost $600.00, and trem the reaulte ot the etrorts ot the Ch ri stmas card chairman, Edna.

under the leaderahlp ct Marlon Goodman Baggs, which produced a gratIfying remuneration ot 150.00, This lillie extra amount makes it possible for us to give a gilt ot $25.00 to each ot our nearby chapters, Michigan A and Michigan B.

We want t o exp r e8ll our gratitude at this time to Dorothy Adame Jewell ler her ruu5lstance to Dr. Icle Macy as secretary and to OUT helptul press agents, Mary Griffin Newlon, Bess Kempf Ranney, and Shirley Rigdon Gibson. who kept notices ot our meetings In conspicuoU8 place8 In the newspapers In hopes ot catching the attcnllcn ot stray PI Phis In the city who might not be Interm e d ot our whereabouts.

In Chicago the club is brought fac e to fac e with the problem of "distances" both In trying to get In personal t cuch with the wid e ly scattered alumna! , and In getting these widely scattered alumnae out to meetings. The only solution to this problem seems to be to organize Icca l groups, and the club has worked toward this end.

There are tour thriving local groups: the Oak Park, the Edgewater, and the South Side, which have been In existence tor scme time, and the new Hyde Park group tor the many who were not taken care of by the farther out South Side group. Furthcr we haVe added a thriving Business Girls group which has met ea'ch month tor dinner This group has showed remarkable growth, t or during the last t e w months It has grown from ten m e mbers to thirty.

Every Friday In th e year eJ:cept during July and August , th e re Is a tabl e r ese rve d tor Pi Phis at the Hamilton Club between 12 :30 and 1 :30. Business girls on their lunch hour, suburbanites In town shopping, and visiti ng Pl Phis from all over the country have luncheon there together. The attendance at the8e lun c heons varies from three or tour t o twenty.

The general meetings ot the alumnm club have all been h e ld In the loop, In order to make them convenient for people from al1 sectiOns ot the city. There haa been tl bridge lunchoo n at Malllards on November 10, a tea at the studio ct Mrs. Marne BaTbaro Parry In the Fine Arts Building on February 3, a benefit tor th e Settiement School on Marc h 29, when the Goodman Theatre was taken over tor the eve ning, and we are now planning the Foundera' Day Luncheon for April 28 &8 th e Jul of th e genera1 meetings for the year.

Each ct these general meetings was well attended. At the bridge luncheon the Convention delegate, Mrs. Dorothy Pribble, gave h e r report Mr8. Kate Freund MlI1er was there and talked of PI Phi, both local and national.

ALUMNAE CLUB R£PORTS

Another Intereating and happy year Is about to be completed by the Milwaukee AlumnII') Club. The year haa been an Inspiration and a pleasure to all. The opening meeting was held In S e ptember when we met for a luncheon rellowed. by a report of Convention. The meetings have been varied by luncheons, bridge, teu, lectures, etc. Th e y have all been well attended. and we feel the progrrun committee' s etrorta In arranging meetlnp ot Interest have brought U8 closer together In PI Phi thoughts and Ideaa. 'Ve stili have two more meetings before the year closes: April 19, celebrating Founders' Day. and May 16 the much leaked fOrward to cooky· shine. Also otfleers tor next year will be Installed at this time.

The club Is happy to report th e raising of the Settlement School pledge to $300-$100 over laet year. The members agreed to earn five dollars or more each, se during the past month! we had great fun In earning this money The girl! have brought forth their little "Specialties" at each meeting and have sold their things among themselvce 8S well as to friends and relatives. The members have been surprleed by the clever artistic tastes which have been displayed. Also many Chrlstmae cards, Royce products, Settlement Sf'hool products, stationery, etc., have been sold. At the last meeting It was decided to discard the "Miss" nnd "Mrs." and call each other by given names- thus making us better acquainted and with less formality In the group. A few cent8 fine will be Imposed o n those who forget to call each by her given name and the money will go Into the Settlement 1<'und.

One ot the glrl!!l, Helen Tyrell, has opened a "Round the Wcrld Shop." It is the most Interesting place--jewels and brass from Jerusalem, embroidery from ConstantinOPle, wood carving from Switzerland. and many other Interesting imports are to be found there. The Idea for the shop of ImpOrts was the result of the trips taken to the Mediterranean, Europe and many cther places, a yea r o r two prior to the opening. There w ere months of preparation, Investiga tion and travel before the shop actually took fOMll. It has been a great help to liS all to hnve this faSCinating little shop trom which to chcose and select quaint Imports , and all the members of the club have taken advantage of the opportunity It has presented.

We are anticipating a Visit from our Province Vice PreSident, Mrs. F. H. BaS!!, as well as to an extensive, a, more active, and stili more successful next year for the Milwaukee Alumnre Club.

This yea r, t oo the Chrlstmnll party f o r the active chapter was reviv ed. It was a "kid" party and an hilarious time was had by the hundred or 80 wh o were prescnt. Th e active chapter was filled with joy with the gUt of a sliver wat e r pitcher and th e house c hape ron pleasantly surprised with a pretty blo.nket throw

The Christmas luncheon was a g r eat success and was h e ld at th e new college! club. At o ne m eeting our Conve ntion r e pcrt was given by our adore d delegat e, Mrs. Gislason. At one m eeting the St. Paul group (which holds Its own group m ee tings-and v e r y p eppy and j oyouS occasions th cy are!) was entertained . And at ancther mee ting the plan s for the n e w c hapter house, whi c h we unders tand ls to be finished by fall, were di s played!

Of cour se some of us older ones who stili r e m c mbe r th e thrill ot opening th e old chaPte r house almost twelve years ago are somewhnt br ea thless and quite r e minisce nt and talntly r eg rettul! But th e excited pl eas abcut o l d plumbing, bett e r situation , a nd m o re suitable s pace have carried all betore th em and soon this n e w chapter h ouse will be a r ea lit y as In c r edibly as the old one became so! The Boa rd Is Rskl ng v e ry little ot the older stockhcld e r s a nd all seems t o b e well. Ru s hing In the n e w hous e In September ls the s l ogan!

AB tor our m ea ns ot earning money this year for the Settlement School and other n ecess iti es again Christmas have been sold. W e have also had our delightful and fri en dly bridge groups. Magaz i ne subecrlptlcns have been scld through our chairman and Mi ss R e isinger and we are to have- two o r thr ee days. at rummage sale In a co uple o f WCi!ks a t whi c h we f e rve ntly h ope we will m a ke muc h mon ey.

Our Founc1 e rs' Day banquet, always a l c vely and dignified occasion. and our spring me e ting at Mrs. Kill ee n 's are st ill a h ead or us. We are hoping that It w on't snow or som e thing and spoil t lJ e en j oy m e nt of Mrs. Kill een 's garden.

The Denver Alumne Club has had a most a n d happy year under the l eade r ship o f H el e n Field. The meetings have been h eld m onthly and are always lunc h ec ns. A M onday meeting a lternat es With a Saturd ay meeting. Thl, year a c harge o( fitty cen ts hal been made for th e luncheons to thoBe who do not belonl to the club and P&Y due

The prClgraml tor all meetings have been very Interesting and have Incl uded many ot our cwn talented members.

The event or greateat interest to the club WQtI a t ea which was given In. honor or our beloved Founder, Mra. Llbble Brook Gaddis. M.n. Gaddla Wall In Denver visiting her daughter and the club had an opportun it y fer the first time to entertain a Founder. The tea was held In the beautiful home ot At Leonora Bosworlh, a member ot UllnolJJ A. at Monmouth. Mere than 300 guests were entertained, Including prominent members ot other women'. fraternities, faculty members, deans ot wcml.:n and active girls trom the twO Colo rad o chapters.

The girl, trom both chapte r s were privIleged In having Mrs. GaddlJs pre&cot at their Initiations and banquets. At the Colorado n banquet, Mrs. Gaddis responded to a toast with a delighttul descrlptlen of the Founders and at the Colorado A banquet her toast was to the PI Beta Phi Grand Presidents.

The Settlement School meeting was held In December and Mrs. Morlon sold many artlclcs tram the Scheol. Mrs. Stark is to be in Denver this Bummer and the club is planning en having her apeak and show the Settlement SchOOl pictures at that time.

The Finance Committee held a rummage sale and raLsed $133. At present the cntlre club is selling movie tlcketa to raise the usual contrib ution tor Settlement School and to help the two active chapters.

The starting of the PI Beta Phi Foundation Fund, lOr the Denver Club, Is the most important thing of the year and th e club leel others will be Interested. Mrs. Louise Neal Tasher Is the orlglnatcr. The obj ect Is to put as much money as we ca n raise by contrIbution or surplus In the treQ.sury, into a Trust Fund to be handled by a bank, adding to this every yea r until It will be a lund large enough to yield Interest sulficlent for the cont ributl cns to the Settlement School and chapters, wh en added to tht! money taken In each year as dues. This will eliminate the constant et't'ort to ra ise money lor the Settlement School outside at our own members. Thi s tund wll1 necessarily be many years reaching an amount great eneugh to b e a help, but It will be a great help to luture PI Phis It not to us. If such a lund had been started twenty-five years ago the prescnt club would be r elieved at much work and erro rt In r aisi ng money.

The annual Founders' Day celeb ration tor the c lub and Cclorado A and Colorado B will be April 28 at the Brown Palace Hot el.

given by the presid e nt. Mrs Kinne y when members ot the executive b ea rd atld committee chairmen met and mad e large burlap bags:, to be used In co l1 ectl ng rummage. The plan originated with Cleveland, trom whom we borrowed the Idea.

Both last year and this the annual benefit bridge party has been given tor the acUve c hapt e rs. Approximately $300 was cleared on each atralT. since the hote l and prizes are donated. This party 13 beth a 80clal and financial success.

The program committee, composed of Mr s. "\-V. W Ross, Mrs George B. Guthrie and Mary Jones were instrum e ntal in arranging a most int e resting group or m ee tings for the year. One of the outstanding oncs was th e cooky-s hine, whi c h Is probably the best attended and most antlclpated event on the cale ndar. We have come to think at cooky-shine and Agnes Turner as sy non y m cus terms, since h e r hospitalit y Is usually Imposed upon. This was th e banner m eeti ng at the yea r, tor there were ninety-two Pi Phis Sitting on the floor In Agnes' three spacious living rooms,

A new and very successtul party was the Christmas Evening one, about the middle at December. Each member received a tiny candy sack with h er Invitation, which she filled with small change and toek to the party.

Arter a short busin ess m ee ting, a splendid holiday program was enjoyed The ChrIstmas donations amounted to $30 and were given to the Boys and Girls Aid Scciety. The Christmas charity com mittee visited the Home and found they w e r e always glad ot donations ot children's clothing, parti c ularly clothes tor children trom e ight to tourteen. Many Pi Phi chlldren are around th cse ages, and consequently, it was easy to collect a good supply at usable apparel. A d eli ghttul part ot th e program was th e Christmas Carols sun g by three Pi Phi !!Cns, David, son or Alice Hin es Botstord, George, eon ot Carolyn Grlmsby Guthrie, and Rebert, son of Nellie Thompkins Clayberg Ross.

A pat-luck dinn er with a stunt program, on Valentine's evening, was another Innovation of the committee. Each person was asked t o bring enough at one dish to provide toad tor tour and th e re was much speculation as to wn eth e r we'd be underred or over-red, but at course it proved to be the latter.

The visit ot Ml.ss Johnston e was the occasion of a very attractive tea at the hom e of lI.irs. H o rton Pownall, Since this came during th e h oliday s. many active girls w e r e present.

Tho club has had one dance, gl ven early in April at the Lak e Oswego Country Club. It was not a mone y making atrair, tOr pleasure only, th e re was a large attendance and a m es t s uccesstul party.

On the evening of April 10, Mrs. Mille r and h e r daughter, Agnes Turn er. Opened their h o m e t or the snowing ot th e Settlement School turns. The Int e rest of PI PhIs, PI Phi husbands, friends and customers was greatl y sti mul ated by the pictures and th e personal touch given to th e stories cf life In th e Southern mountains, as told by Mrs. Turner.

Juet now the Found e rs' Day banquet Is being anticipated, and will be given at the Multn omah H otel. Invitations were extended to man y nearby clubs and to Mrs. Scute, Mrs. Postel, and :Mrs. Arnold Benett Hall , More than one hundred wearers of the arrow are expec t ed.

An errort ha s bee n mad e to arrange Programs of diversified Interest to tollow the brier business lIe.slons held Imm edia tely after the lunch eo ns. At th e first meeting ot the year, Mrs O. S. McPh e rson prescnted h e r report on the Ccnventlon held at Breezy Point. The September meeting h e ld In National CllY. was a soc ial one to e nabl e members to get acquainted; while the following event was a Hallow e'e n bridge lun c heon honoring Mrs. W. Augustine, a r ece nt bride. Owing to the holidays, It was n ecessary to cernblne our November and December meetings Into the carll' December lun c heon.

Six ot the younger members graciously conse nt ed to ac t as models at th e Fall fashion show c t one ot th e d epa rtm en t s tores In the city. In return they received $50 [or th e Settlement School. A display of articles from the Arrowcra ft Sh o p wall arranged and Mr. Cllbert Bright. manager ot the department store and a. PI Phi husband. gave a splend id talk on the School and th e w o rk of the frat e rnity In th e m cun talns of Tennes8CC. Later an all day sale down town was he ld and a larg e percentfl.go. of th e artlclell wag diSpOsed ot. The club haa continued t o sell through ou t th e year and hopes to have an exccptlenally good r epo rt by May.

Beatrice Edm o nd s entertained the c lub In J anua ry with an Int e r cetl ng travel talk based on h er unusual and delightful expe rl cnces during a trip around the world. The February program was devoted to changes In the constitution and to th e Settlement Schoo l. Mrs. T N. Altord's talk e n the lalter Was presented In a charming nnd fascinating mann e r .

In March, Mrs. Gertrude Bell. PSYChologist at State Tea c hers' College In San Di ego, gave a n Instructive talk on "Factors that Determine Personality," using practical examples fr o m tests taken by members of her classes In Applied Psychelogy. ThE' subject w as Intense ly Interesting. Found e rs' Day celebration will b " held at the home ot Dr Beasle Peery and Miss June Peery. The club f eels espec iall y prIvileged In having for an henor gu est upon thi s occasio n Sarah Taylor . who was Initiated Into Iowa A chapter at Mt. Pleasant tlfty-nine years ago. Miss Taylor is new residing In San Di ego a nd Is one of th e m 08 t enthusiastic m embe rs. May will s e e the installation ot offi ce rs and our senson wlll close In June with a picnic on th e beach.

S e veral magazine subscriptions were secured this year and we hope to concentrate on this worthwhile endeavor In the future. Also Caroline Tu c k e r's Christmas ca rd s and noveltle8 w ere sold but we t ound this unsatl8tactory owing to th e grea t distance between the two places.

In addition to the regular meetings. a table has b ee n reserved at the Hotel Churchill the second Wednesday o f th e month for informal luncheons. Many arrange shopping that day and the delightful per80na.1 contacts mad e possible at these lun cheons have proven most he lptul. San Di ego has a city Panhell en lc this n ex t year a PI Phi will be presid e nt.

The club Is anticipating, with pleasure. tb e visit of th e Prcvlnce Vice President In the fall. Club8 si tuated. where th e re are no active cbapters will profit by this inspiration and national contact. It 18 hope.,), &180, that San Diego will be Included In the itinerarY ot the nationa.l officer delegated to visit Kappa Province this next wint e r.

CHAPTER LEnE"S

Hal"riet Smith and Bet.sy Price were appointed associate editors or the Wlltlam and Mary LitlWarJI Magazine and the Coloxial Echo, respectively_ It la with deep regret that Virgin la " announces the death of Dr. John Lesalle Hall, scholar and teacher, and professor ot English at William and Mary alnce 1888. Dr. 1Iall was (amous tor his old English translations, particularly that ot "Beowulf," a.nd other Anglo-Saxen poems. His death trom pneumonia on February 23 robbed ,\VUllam and Mary students ot a lea'rned and excellent teacher, and an Inte r esting and sincere friend.

Virginia Paul took part In the play production "Everyman" presented by the Glbbona Club en March 23 In the 4> B K hall.

Virginia. Smith was appointed publicity chairman ot the Y. 'V. C. A.. Wllllamsburg, with Its addition at visiting alumna! and out-at-town gucsts, was a gay place during the week- e nd of mid-wint e r dances. Mrs. Gwalhmey, Virginia D, and Mr. Gwathmey, K A, gave a supper before the Friday night dance for the seven K A-n 4> "co m binations" who were attending mid-winters. There was a small individual table tor each couple, the host and hoste ss being scated at a larger one al the head ot the room. The artistic silhouette place cards which Mrs. Gwalhmey herselt had made eepeclally tor the occasion were earetully preserved In many and various "memory books."

Four PI Phis took part In a tableaux, "An Evening In Ole Virginia," presented by Mrs. R. W. Bigger of Richmond under the auspices of the Y. W. C. A. and the Y. M. C. A.

In the annual W. S G. A. election, Polly Hines was elected first vice president, and Harriet Smith, secretary, ot the exeeutlve council. Thc new co-ed student government orticers were guests of honor at a tOrmat reception held Immediately tollowlng their election.

The 11 4> scholastic average for the first scmester ranked se ... ond on the campus, two other fraternities tying tar first place. Atter the Issuing at reports tor the Hrst month ot the second semester, an honor list ct all students In William and Mary averaging over 85% was for the first time in the history of the college made public. Sixteen PI Phis were On the honor list.

Activities have becn particularly stressed this year. A chart on which each member or Virginia r records and checks her standing and weekly activities, so many points lw:!\ng glvcn tor each, was madc nnd found to work splendid l y In helping to keep the IndIviduals Interested in campus occurre n ces. I n orde r to k n ow better the ot he r girls at William nnd Mary. every two weeks two P I Phis give a card party. This, too. has been found to be an excellen t way In which to keep in touch with the rest of the campus.

So much ha s been written abo ut the m od e rn girl - h e r frankne ss, her tporlCSSDe6s. h e r freed om- thnt the s ubject Is seemingly e xhausted She bas been d e fend ed anel denounced; excused and excor ia ted; and n o w tbat t he rushing senson is upon us, we nre confronted with th e fnet that we are about to open o ur doors to h e r.

All of whic h we nr e content to do if she be modern In the best and finest sense; It her frankness means absence of subterfuge, the absence of atfectntion and th e des ire to be true to her own sclf; it bel' fearlessness e oden \,ors t o voice her own opinions, to stand f o r what she thinks Is right to sol vc he r own problems; It her freedom brings a development of right c haracter. a newness ot vi e wpoint. and a wise assertion ot individuality. Frankness that results in any lowering ot Ideals we do not cr av e; f earless ness that d e lights io the shatte ring of conventions and cherished traditions ha s n o pla ce In the chapter circle; freedom that ridicules the ri ght and prlvUege of others , that lougb s at the r estrictions ot college and chapter house , that empbaslzes 8 selflshne&s ot viewpoint is not an attribu te to the true SOrority girt. Freedom that characterizes the attitud e toward college men JUay mean th e flne comradesh ip and worthwhile triendshlp that e ndures or it may b e lnterpreted by the cheapening ot one's pe rsonalIty. the lowering or one's standards, and the f o rge tfulness of one' s breeding What Is easUy obtained loses Its value; thoughtless habits result in the sacrLfice ot dignity, of reflnement, aDd respect.

RUSHING: HOW MUCH SHOULD ALUMNAE DO AND HOW?

How mu c h depends on dtlferent chapters and alomnre , but I have li sted 80nw hows. the Rlums Rre the bnckbone of the chapter in rushing. Every alum should feel he rselt responsible t o send at least on :, rushee They bll"e n good op portunity to see and know girls that their chapter would desIre. You do Dot need to be long to an alumnre chapter to do this This is Individual work tor your Interest 8S w e ll us the tote-rest of eve ry Phi Omega Pi.

Second , rushlng parties. This Is taken up many times by the nlumme chapters giving bridge, swimming, or th eatre parti es In August before taU rush.

Third , finance. Mnny alumnre chapters defray the expense of One or part of the active ru shing parties In the toll. Some Individual alums give as they wlsh , wh i ch all helps. Many alums ltve close enough to he lp th e actives rush In the tall. They can help with their cars, ideas, !1l\rOrS, nnd service. We can help in the kitchen, by serving, or whereeve r w e see best, leaving the actives tree for entertainment.

If we are not deJlnltely needed In a th e ntre party or the like, we ca D stay at the h ouse and do odd jobs-the cook and waiters are to be instructed; things to be straig htened; also the rushees must be we lcomecJ on their return.

Sometimes we have too man y helpers. Be sure we all have our tasks assIgned , as the actives desire .

At Oklahoma U. only the alums arE:' allowed to take the rushees to "b idding. " and bring them buck.

Many Urnes the rushees get their first impressions trom you, alum · ore. ]n our home towns, many Urnes we are the ones whom th e y, sometimes, judge the whole chapter by. It pays for us to always be on the look-out.

Through these many little , but Important ways we can h e lp 11ft th e worry , labor , and despair ot' the actlvcs.-TA e Pentagon of Phi Omega PI.

A..'- ODD AN END

During n recent session of my sociology closs, the professor, who Is a womnn of quick wit and understanding, made a tew potent reo marks concerning pledges. In briet wbat she said was. that after bavlng a class ODe semester nnel just a little wbile in the second. she could easlly tell just who were and were not fraternity or sorority pledges during the first term. The first semester a pledge would plug Rway with great perseverance, possibly receiving nn A as her grade. The next semester she sits back In class, contributing little or nothing and very content to receive a mere passing grade. The first semester she works hard to make her grade tor Initiation; the second she rests easily on her laure.s. Is this what frate rniti es nre sntisfied with?

It bns been Buitably turnished and endowed as a scholarship to be accepted each year by some member ot the mother chapter. The occupant ot the room 1s to be elected annually by active members ot the chapter at the University ot Georgtll.

Long, Long Ago

in the early days of American industry, there probably lived a trader who experienced a distressing relation with an acquaintance of business. Possibly it was h e, after a rueful discovery, who spoke the now famous words, to the effect that business and friendship cannot be united,

Every worth while industry of today has built a sturdy denial to tf,e old statement. \\ ' hen a company reaches a development of growth that call ses the bonds of friendship to cease, the long road to oblivion looms ahead.

Our contracts and OUT organizat ion s have meant much to us. Yet the fri endship of fraternity men and women, created in under-graduate days and maintained after graduation. have brought to us our greatest pride. Without them, the daily routine of work would be immeasurably dull.

Business as business. and friendship for friendship's sake, have never a justifiable cause for combat.
