A large majority of the mothers of the members of the fourteen sororities which will occupy new homes in the Women's Quadrangle this autumn. have organized into mothers' clubs and have been working to buy gifts for the houses. Card parties, real estate trips and rummage sales have headed the lists of their activities during the last two years. The miscellaneous projects have been undertaken by the different groups and the fruits of the work will be seen this fall. Many of the clubs plan to buy pianos for the houses and some have already done so. Much sewing -- hemming linens and making curtains--has been done and is still going on. Besides working, the mothers report they have enjoyed knowing each other and have had some good social times. Mrs. Royal J. Whitlock, 2608 Park place, expresses the attitude of one of the groups which also typifies that of the others: "We're here if they want us, and in the meantime we are having fine social times." Here is what many of the groups in particular are doing: The Alpha Chi Omega Mothers' club has had several card parties among other activities and plans to buy the piano for their daughters' house. Mrs. C. D. Macpherson is president. Mrs. Whitlock, president of the Alpha Phi Mothers' club, says that that or- ganization also plans to buy the piano for their daughters. They have been or- ganized for more than two years and have spent much of their time hemming linen for the house. Part of the money for the piano has been raised by sub- scription. Ms. J. W. Meaker is president of the Delta Gamma mothers. Funds they have procured, mostly from card parties, have already been used to purchase a piano for the house, a Frigidaire, and a spe- cially made table for the living room. In addition the mothers have met for sewing parties and done much of the hemming and making of curtains. Delta Zeta mothers have carried on a wide variety of projects. Under the di- rection of Mrs. H. A. Morin, president, they have had card parties, real estate trips, laundry trips, and food craft luncheons. They plan a card party for October. Gamma Phi Betas will also receive a piano from their mothers' club. Mrs. Archibald McKinley, president, is direct- ing the club in a variety of projects. There have been lectures, luncheons, mu- sicales and card parties. Many dona- tions have also been made and enabled the purchase of the piano and also of a Persian rug. Other gifts are being planned. Kappa Alpha Theta mothers will as- sist the alumnae in buying the piano for the Theta house. Most of the funds are being raised by donation. Summer meetings have been turned over to hem- ming linen for the house, and Mrs. Ed- ward Hymers, president, is making plans for the fall activities. Mrs. Frank J. Hughes is president of the Kappa Delta Mothers' assocjation which is buying the piano for their daughters' house. Funds have been raised by card parties, real estate trips, and a large bazaar at which many ar- ticles made by the mothers at their meetings were sold. Kappa Kappa Gamma mothers have raised funds by rummage sales, card parties and by subscription which they will use to furnish the kitchen and din- ing room of the Kappa house. Mrs. Albert L. Gale is president. The Pi Beta Phi Mothers' club has spent many of its meetings sewing on the linens for their daughters' house. Their largest affair was a combined bazaar, dinner and dance at the Wom- an's club last winter, the funds from which were turned over to the sorority for the furnishing of the house. Mrs. J. K. Hakes is president of the club and is planning activities for this fall. I'S Ave
