One hundred and two Sigmas, nearly one fourth of the officially registered delegates, joined the grand march into the Crown Room -27 of them members of the celebrated clan for the first time because this made their con vention total three. To be a Confirmed Conventionite indicates a necessary passage of time-not quite so painful when registered in numbers of conventions in stead of years. But the lapse of time doesn'l mean that this group is not up to date. Since so cialites, diplomats and charity ball patrons hav< cavorted during the past year in disposabl< duds, it was deemed proper that our most selec segment of the sisterhood show their modish ness by wearing paper dresses to the CC dinner.

Our habitual toastmistress is accustomed to being greeted by cheers and laughter as she awards her''rare" gems to unsuspecting sisters. But this year the applause and giggles which accompanied some of her remarks must have seemed to her to be just a little high pitched. This was the year for playir;Jg a few jokes on the joker.
