PERENNIAL HOPE OF GARDENERS

PERENNIAL HOPE Of GARDENERS.
Every year when floral catalogues make their
appearance people who fond of gardening look
over their pages with enthusiasm. feeling that all
the magnificent vegeta bes and brilliant flowers de-
picted therein possibilities within their grasp
This state of renewed hope is perennial. 1t reas-
serts itself spring after year as surely
the awakening of bud ami blossom in nature s
domain. In spite of the failures. the discourage
of foregoing years. hope springs eternal in
the gardeners breast as he resolves this year
at all events those luscious tomatoes which the
rosy checked old is holding in the picture:
those mammoth strawberries spilled out of the
basket in such enticing way. and those beau
tifu flowers brought to rare perfection, all shaIl
be his. if skill and perseverance and hard work
avail aught. There is something quite pathetic
about the confidence with which. the amateur
gardener begins his work-his hopefulness under
repeated discoura gements, his simple enthusiasms
and finally when unsatisfactory summer Is
ended the way his thoughts Immediately leap for
ward to next year and its possibilities

Kappa Kappa Gamma was founded on
the thirteenth of October, 1870. by four
teen students of Monmouth College at
Monmouth, Illinois. The organization
seems to have been modelled, not after
the two women's fraternities already
established. c. Sorosis Qater Pi Beta
PhD and Kappa Alpha Theta, but rather
on one of the oldest mems fraternities.
of which the father of one of the found
ers was a member.
Unlike Alpha Phi, Delta Gamma, and
Gamma Phi Beta, each of whom existed
from five to nine years as a local organ
ization merely, Kappa Kappa Gamma
became a national fraternity almost i'm
mediately, by the establishment of
second chapter in 1871.
In the first decade of Kappa Kappa
Gamma's existence, fifteen chapters
were established, four of which became
inactive before 1880 and two more In
1854 This shows all too clearly that
proper care was not exercised in those
early years to place chapters only In
those institutions which were promising
il not prominent. The histories of Kap-
pa Alpha Theta, Delta Gamma and Pi
Beta Phi emphasize this same fact.
In the next decade sixteen charters
were granted and but three Of these
have ever been withdrawn. 1t is of In
terest to note that six of these charters
were placed in state universities which
were coming more and more to be rec
ognized as the educational centers of the
west and middle vest In the third de-
cade but six charters were granted,
while in this, the fourth decade, there
have been two chapters established. one
in the university of Colorado, and one in
the university of Texas.
As the chapter roll stands today, there
are chapters of Kappa Kappa Gamma in
the fourteen most prominent state uni
versities, and also in the universities of
Boston, Cornell, Syracuse, Wooster, De
Pauw, Northwestern, Illinois, Wesleyan
and Leland Stanford Junior. In the
list of colleges Barnard and Swarthmore
rank highest, but small chapters are still
maintained for the sake Of "auld lang

syne" In several UNCONVENTIONAL colleges
where the future of the colleges is q
question of concern not only to the fra
ternities represented there. but to the
college authorities as well.
As one after another petition from coll
leges and universities are refused on the
grounds of low educational standing OF
the institution or Insufficient material
for maintaining q strong chapter" the
high standards demanded by Kappa
Kappa Gamma and her conservative
policy are coming more and more widely
to be recognized.
Since fraternities are not permitted to
enter the largest womens colleges, II IL
the policy of Kappa Kappa Gamma To
grant charters only to co-educational In
stitutions. At present there are fourteen
alumna associations of Kappa Kappa
Gamma In the larger cities. The con-
tinued interest of these members who
are no longer in college Is a source of
inspiration and strength to the general
fraternity and to individual chapters.
Kappa Kappa Gamma was the first
woman's fraternity to undertake the
publication Of a magazine. The first
number of the Key" appeared In March.
1882, and the magazine has always taken
high rank, not only among sister publi-
cations, but among the more pretentious
organs of the mems fraternities. The
editor of the Key was authorized at
the meeting of the grand council in 1901
to begin the collection Of material for
a permanent fraternity library. This
will consist of college catalogues. fra
ternity exchanges, and all books and
publications Of general or particular fra
ternity interest. This library will be of
great value to the editor and to the d.
rector of catalogues.
Three song books have been published
by the fraternity, in 1886. 1889. and 1891
A catalogue was compiled in 1888 and a
supplement in 1880, while a second edi-
ton appeared in 1898. The most unique
publication Of the fraternity is in the
form Of a calendar with appropriate fra
ternity quotations.; seven Of these have
been issued. For eleven years after the
founding of the fraternity the govern
ment was by a grand chapter. Since
that time II has been vested In a grand
council composed of the five grand OFF,

- The annual report of Mrs. Fairbanks
the president general sketched the work
OF the year in glowing terms. There has
been a large increase in the membership
OF the society, three thousand and seven
hundred and thirty-six new members
having been added during the year.
There were two thousand delegates
present, the east of course, having the
largest representation. New York sent
the largest number of delegates-one
hundred and twenty-five. Massachusetts
coming next with ninety-eight, and Can
necticut third with fifty-five
A pretty feature of the congress was
the presentation to the daughters of a
beautiful silken flag, by General Edwin
Warfeld, president of the Sons of the
American Revolution, on behalf of that
society, and afterwards unfurled by Mrs.
Fairbanks. from a flag pole on the
grounds upon which the continental me-
mortal hall will be built.
Apropos, this memorial hall, ii Is es-
timated, will cost about three hundred
thousand dollars exclusive of the
ground. The ground, costing fifty thou
sand dollars. has been paid for, and
there Is now, in the treasury, about
sixty-five thousand dollars to be used
for the erection Of the building.
Among the constitutional amendments
adopted was one which made 1t possible
for Mrs. Fairbanks to hold her Office an
other term, and she was unanimously
reelected president general
Mrs. Alice of Omaha was elected
state regent for Nebraska, to succeed
Mrs. s. B. Pound, who was not eligible
to reelection, having held the Office the
allotted time; and Mrs. j. l.. Kellogg of
Lincoln was elected vice-regent for the
state. Among the pleasant social af-
fairs given for the daughters was a re-
ception at the White House given by
President Roosevelt, when ''the new
white house" was thrown open to the
guests, a reception at the congressional
library, reception given by the board
of lady managers at the New Willard
hotel, and a reception by Mrs. Fair
banks at her home.
