Don't bother to amve for the first day. Conventions shouldn't take as much time as they do. Don't attempt to reach meetings on time. Your beauty sleep is important and you'll only need to wait three months before the TRIANGLE will be published and tell you what hap­ pened. Don't post yourself in advance on the business to be brought up. It's boring enough to listen to discussions when the subject is new to you. · Don't confine yourself to the point when you do rise to speak at meetings. If you don't know anything much about the subject, just tell them what a good chapter you come from. At least they can see your new dress. Remember that your chapter is superior to all others. This creates a feeling of respect for you. Shun discussions of policies or legislation with the delegates "after hours." You might want to change your snap judgment. Never exert yourself to mix with other delegates. If they can't see that you are worth running after, they aren't worth your time. By all means complain about your room and your room mates. Alice Wick and Millie Hawxhurst, convention chairmen, and the hotel manager, just love to shift people and lug­ gage around and your room mates should feel flattered to have been noticed at all. Don't accept responsibilities. It's so much easier to find fault with those who do. If you have attended another convention, don't fail to look up the chairman and tell her how much you enjoyed the OTHER conventions. Don't give officers any opportunity to think that you find their work satisfactory. Make them think that they're lucky to be able to donate so much of their time and efforts gratuitously-even if criticism is all you have to give them. Don't participate in any stunts etc. It's far simpler to be nonchalant and give the impres­ sion that you could have done something far better if you had been enough interested or had been begged enough. This policy requires very little effort. Protest strenuously whenever a change is proposed. This way you can keep the sorority in the old-fashion grooves you understand. F.W.B.

A Fifteen years ago Luella Tilton Hart, X ' 22, started her research on dolls, in the Mellon Library at the University of Pittsburgh when she wrote on "trademarks of dolls." What started out as a hobby has snowballed into almost a fulltime project. Her dolls are often photographed for pub­ licity purposes, but Mrs. Hart prefers not to be photographed with them, for she has learned that such pictures inevitably mean additional requests for shows, talks, etc. As it is, Luella confesses that she is almost a slave to her hobby, although the writing angle has been much fun and is now getting to the point where it actually is remunerative. There is nothing in the world as fascinat­ ing as an absorbing hobby, she finds, to keep one on her toes. Dolls seem like a foolish subject, Luella admits, but in Ohio State uni­ versity where she took History as a major, she began to realize how dolls can tell history. All of her work is approached from the his­ torical angle. At the Japanese Peace Conference in San Francisco, Mrs. Hart became acquainted with an important Japanese official, Naka Sawa who sent her material upon Japan that she couldn't get through importers or research.
