dren in the schools in Germany, to
increase their opportunities of learn
ing the language.

dance has continued since her grad

friendship has developed between the

larry during the war. She is not al
lowed to write in English, because of
government regulations, tho she can
receive letters written in English.

ever, that after the war is over she
will have a great deal to tell that she
is prevented from telling at the pres
ent time.
