"Take My love to AU the Chapters'' By PATTY MARSHALL BRENNER, Grand Secretary

ISTER Frances Mann Hall, our be­ loved Founder, received me in her S hospital room, where she had to lie quite straight and quiet ; but her sparkling dark eyes were not quieted, nor her brilliant smile, nor her shining white hair which framed her dear face with a silver halo. Her quick mind went from chapter to chapter as we talked, not one escaped her loving thought and her proud remembrance, from Alpha to Beta Gamma. She said : " It was really presumptuous of us five girls to think of calling ourselves an 'Alpha chapter,' as though there could ever be any more ; but our vision was truly in­ spired and our faith justified for I have lived to see our chapter roll grow through the alphabet twice and now well started on the third round." She spoke of her first college days at Colby made happy by the friendship offered to her by the other four girls. They had all known each other before she came and were calling each other chummily by their fi rst names.

MARCH, 1935 5 The Last Months of Our Founder By ALICE HERSEY WICK, Rho, former Grand Secretary

RS. HALL was hurt about the middle of November, when she fell down M some steps at her home. For several days she remained at home, but finally was persuaded to go to the hospital and be x-rayed, when it was found that she had broken every rib on one side and the pelvic arch. Miraculously enough, all the bones healed, but a cold and her advanced age pre­ vented her complete recovery, and, for the last three weeks, she was irrational. Her brother, Mr. Mann, was in town, and she had the best of care through the friendship and untiring watchfulness of Dr. Gladys Kain, daughter of Mrs. Hall's oldest and best friend. She had special nurses the whole time she was in the hospital so that we know noth­ ing further could have been done to make her comfortable, even though she fretted a great deal at being kept in-as she, with her pep and vigor, would fret! Mrs. Hall was tremendously pleased by the hundreds of letters and Christmas greetings which she received from Sigma Kappas. The nurse pinned the cards to the screen in her room, which was literally covered, so that Mrs. Hall could lie in bed and gaze at the hundreds Mrs. Hall at Saranac, 1933 of wishes from all over the country.

Poems by Emily Dickinson We Like

I'm nobody! Who are you? Are friends delight or pain? Are you nobody too? Could bounty but remain T hen there's a pair of m-don'I tell! Riches were good. They'd banish us, you know. How dreary to be somebody! But if they only stay How public, Uke a frog Bolder to fly away, To tell your name the livelong day Riches are sad. To an admiring bog!

There is no frigate like a book Alter? When the hills do, To take us lands away, Falter? )JV hen the sun, Nor any coursers like a page Question if his glory Of prancing poetry. Be the perfect one.

Surfeit? When the daffodil To help or1r bleaker parts Doth of the dew; Salubrious hours are given. Even as herself, 0 friend.' Which if they do not fit for earth I will of you. Drill silently for heaven.

The " guests" came 1n oddly assorted costumes. Some of us were the little girls we used to be, others of us were very modern with our shorts and socks of gaudy plaid, but some of us were original enough to go back to the "remember 'way back when" period and we came in quite long white dresses with pink bows, heavy white stockings and P,lain black slipp~~s.

MARCH, 1935 59 WITH OUR ALUMNAE CHAPTERS RUTH NORTON DONNELLY, Editor

All Kinds of Programs Are Suggested by Bay Cities Alumna: ARIETY is the spice of life, "It's easier to catch flies with honey than vinegar," V "If a man builds a better mousetrap than his neighbor, the world will beat a path to his door." Although we would scorn to associate either a fly or a mousetrap with our sister Sigma Kappas, this correspondent has a sneaking hunch the chairman of our program committee in the Bay Cities Alu~nre Group surely must have born them steadfastly in mind. For we have had during the past year as sparklmg an array of entertainment (as the movie teaser captions would put it) as ever delighted a seasoned grad. Best of all, it's comforting to know that after a busy evening of deciding whether we shall serve salad and sandwiches, or just sandwiches at our benefit bridge party, whether subscriptions or just plain mayhem would get us a new chapter house, and cogitating the manifold problems of charity work, a very pleasant means of relaxation awaits us. We started off this year's meetings with a reading of the play, "Mrs. Moonlight" by Miss Lucretia Lanza, a pupil of a prominent Berkeley dramatics instructor. It was a delightfully fantastic play, and capably presented by Miss Lanza, who interpreted all the parts herself. Just as if it didn't leave us in a pleasantly mellow mood, however, our hostess and President, Esther Cox Zarley, also provided grand refreshments. (Notes on luring the wary grad to meetings: Provide plenty of good food and entertain­ ment, and she'll come in spite of herself.) Mildred Hackett Coates very thoughtfully provided a new house for us to inspect at our next meet­ ing, to say nothing of a swell supper. "Middy" and her husband practically built their charming Monterey Colonial house themselves, and we had a fine time admiring the unique hooded fireplace and the antique spinning wheel, approving the room arrangements, and in general envying those lucky Coates. In keeping with tha general spirit of housewarming, Middy and her sister Bernice (Bunny) Green sang some of the songs they used to do for our rushing functions, playing their own accompaniment, and Esther Zarley and Bertha Clymer Ricksen also sang some of their rushing numbers: "The Left-Hind Foot of a Rabbit," "On our Chinese Honeymoon," and "A Cup of Coffee." All of which left us in a· fine glow of sisterly comradeship! One of our most distinguished members presented the program in November. Rosamond Parma, Li­ brarian of the University of California Law School, told us all about her European trip, which she took last summer with librarians from all over the United States. To our minds, we can think of nothing nicer than attending a convention en tour, and tour these energetic people certainly did. One of the highlights of Rosamond's trip was an interview with His Eminence, the Pope, himself a noted librarian. Because of the press of business and plans for Christmas charity in December, it was not until January that programs were resumed. Betty Birnrose Stafford gave a short review of current books, covering ~wo or three in each of the followin~ fields: Travel and Adventure, Biography, Poetry, History, and the Novel. Typed lists were passed around giving the author and title of the books mentioned, and it is hoped that later on, after everyone has had a chance to read them, we will have a round table discussion of the entire list. At E':e~yn McCracken Wurts' home, _where we_gathere? for _our latest ~~~ting, we were plied with more dellClous food (we seem to be gettmg maudlm on th1s subject!) and m1t1ated into the mysteries of a new _game called "400 Questions.': !he questions on this particul~r occasion all concerned cookery, and the pnze was won by one of our VISitors, who, strangely enough, IS a home economics instructor! The most evident result of the evening, therefore, was a wild rush home to consult the latest cooking experts. So you see our programs do have their constructive values! While we feel we have no corner on successful programs, the fact still remains that we have had an unus_ually stimulating series of entertainment whic~ has helpe? in no small degree toward keeping up a consistently large atten~ance. The secr<:t, we feel , lies m pl~~nmg ahead and working out ideas which will appeal to both our speCial and general mterests. The Bay C1t1es alumnre chapter is lucky in having a group of energetiC oflice~s who ha_ve worked toward thts .. end, and to our espeoall y hard-working Vice-President and Program Chauman, Mtldred Coates, we say, Large and handsome orchids to you!"
