This early silver makers did follow the British custom of marking their was probably caused by Puritan views of stark simplicity of products with their initials in a circle, square, oblong, or other living.

As the number of makers increased rapidly this soon led of silver became more elaborate and followed the current to a confusion, since there was no registery, as in England. This London styles. This effort to have stylish silver may be a reason is a particular source of uncertainty in exact identification of very which has affected the number of our examples of very early early silver in this country.

Stella Weston took a reading course at Rollins College WHENwhere she was a member of Alpha Mu chapter of Gamma Phi Beta and the professor assigned a book of poetry to be read, it seemed so simple that she tried to write a bit herself. She did, and very successfully, too, as her work now appearing in many of the national magazines shows. She is a member of the Poetry Society of America. It wasn't long after that time, that Stella, or Boots as she was better known, published her first book of poems. This was the years that she won the Howard Fox award for literary achieve ment in the senior class. "1 am also probably the only editor who ever rejected a Shakespearean sonnet!" Stella recalls. "Dr. Holt, President of Rollins College, sent an obscure one to me when I was on Florida Magazine of Verse, saying it was written by a friend of his and wanting to know what I thought of it. I returned it as unfit for publication in our esteemed magazine, but admitted the author showed promise! Maybe you think Dr. Holt didn't play that up in the college newspaper!" All set for an important writing career Stella was graduated in Stella Weston Tuttle 1930, but shortly afterwards married Harry E. Tuttle of Miami and settled down to domesticity.

B. Wilson (Ohio Wesleyan) They Ask Blevy By Leola McDonald Nevada, Reno alumnce

blevy"�For twenty-five years, pledges and active members ASKL of Alpha Gamma chapter at the University of Nevada have been asking Blevy and so have members of the alumnae chapter and the Mothers' Club. All because Blevy always seems to know the answers. "Blevy" is Elvina Blevins Doherty (Mrs. Thomas Doherty) and all agree that she has given more of herself to Gamma Phi Beta than any other one member of this chapter. When one thinks of Alpha Gamma chapter, they simultaneously think of her. Gamma Phi Beta is more than just a sorority to her�it is part of her family and the biggest thing in her life. She is never too busy to hear confidences on studies, finances or family affairs and even college romances are whispered in her sympathetic ear, though she has taught school throughout the years and kept her own home going. She found time several years ago to assist in supervising the remodeling of the chapter house and every fall sees her at the house assisting with the house renovation for the fall semester. She has been president of the alumnae chapter several times�in fact has filled almost Elvina Blevins Doherty every office in the group at some time or other. As alumnae repre the Province conference in March at sentative she never shirks. Blevy doesn't dictate to the active chapter, Alpha Epsilon at the of Arizona. chapter girls, but like a wise parent helps them to make their chapter University have their but Gamma has own decisions.

Everyone, not just Gamma Phis, love and respect her. Blevy's fame and charm reached a wider Gamma Phi Beta A^ward Winner circle this spring when she attended, as delegate from the Reno alumnae are proud of Mary McKenna (University of SpokaneIdaho), faculty adviser of the North Central High School News. Under Mary's excellent supervision the North Central student paper has won outstanding awards each year since 1936. � In recognition and appreciation of her work, the Spokane Press Club paid her expenses for a trip to Atlantic City, New Jersey, for the annual convention of the National Council of Teachers of English in November. The Press Club board de cided to send her to this convention as its guest because of her fine work in furthering journalism. She is a raember of the club and has assisted in a number of Junior Press club activities for high school students. She is one of the members of the national English council, a three year committee on student publications. For the last 10 years The News has won the All-American award, high award of the National Scholastic Press association. The News also has won four Pace Maker awards, including one this year. This award is given to the best papers in the winning All-American group. This year about 1500 papers entered this contest, and only eleven were chosen as the "cream of the crop" or Pace Maker. Besides North Central News, there were two other Pacific Coast winners, Garfield High School of Seattle, Washington, and Polytechnic High School in Los Angeles, Cali fornia. The North Central school paper also won the Quill and Scroll's top award, the International Honor Award, and the Frank H. Gallup award, given for promotion of peace aims.

After all, Josephine was a legacy, and you know what that means to actives: one of those odd pieces of furniture willed to you by grandraother, one of those little nurabers which never fits in with any of the rest of the furniture in the house and you are compelled to hide it in a dark corner. You wouldn't dare put it in the attic for fear you would offend grandmother, and you wouldn't dare let anybody else have it for fear it might turn out to be a priceless treasure. One look at Jo and everybody relaxed. Catherine and Veronica did not need to hide this little sister in a corner, theirs was another problem. Bubbling with enthusiasm, almost too blessed with good looks, brains and personality, the problera was to keep this bomb-shell frora signing up for too many activities, running for too many offices, dating with too many men. Oliver Pinson, Sigraa Alpha Epsilon at Arizona, quietly settled this problem of too many men by marrying our glamor girl in 1933. This ideal marriage was interrupted in 1941 by the death of Oliver. Years and the thousand joyous and bitter experiences they brought have added dignity and charm to Jo. We should like to believe that Gamraa Phi Beta played a large part in creating this paradox called Jo, for it will confuse you when she fulfills her social obligations with such grace and poise, then suddenly turns to discuss business matters with the sureness and ease of a well-trained executive. When Jo is called upon to pour oil on troubled waters, or just "spread charm," you will be seeing Mother McDonald who celebrates Saint Patrick's Day with the intense enthusiasm of all Mrs. Pinson loyal daughters of Ireland. When Jo is called upon to quote statistics, balance books, interpret the law, you will be seeing the General of Anaconda Pinson late Felix McDonald, Superintendent Mrs, Oliver Properties at Inspiration, Arizona, who not only provided gen erously for the care and education of his six children but two Director Province VII nephews as well.

S. Veterans Mental Hospital at Chillicothe, Ohio, and were beginning the first prograra of entertainraent of the day. This plan for entertainraent at the raental hospital was started last year by the Red Cross in Delaware and the students of Ohio Wesleyan, and now has won national recognition. Each Sunday a different group raakes the trip; the girls of Alpha Eta had been down last year, and were back again now for a repeat perforraance. The girls entertained four wards during the day, two in the afternoon, and two in the evening after dinner. This year sorae thing new was added in addition to singing and ballroom dancing. The girls were fortunate to have Mildred Stiles and her husband along. Millie, is known all over Delaware County for her square dance calling and "play party" games. So, as a result, most of the day's entertainment consisted of good, old-fashioned square dancing with many of the men participat ing and thoroughly enjoying theraselves. Keeping in the spirit of Christraas, the girls sang Christmas carols in the evening, as they walked from ward to ward across the beautiful, spacious grounds of the hospital. The Sunday trip to Chillicothe has become a habit at Ohio Wesleyan, and Alpha Eta of Gamraa Phi Beta is happy to do its part in this stimulating program of the Red Cross. The boys at the hospital like to laugh, and Alpha Eta is glad to have a part in making this possible. J J) })
