The Brattleboro daily reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1913-1955, 1919-04-29

nice Madame Jackquf fed us very well
and eheaply, l think, and since leaving
the villa we have made the best of
what we could find.
1t seems queer to think Of any one
as planning clothes 1t is so long since
l have had any choice. There are some
smart hats to be seen here and beauti-
full fabrics, but most of the costumes
are not up to our American styles. In
fact, | m not much of an admirer of
French dressing, the women are not
nearly as well dressed as ours.
/ wonder at all the people who think
that the end Of the war stopped the
r. c. work, In fact, | should saw we
did more after the armistice than be-
fore and nearly all officers say the
work has been more needed, for the
effect on the men of nothing TO do, no
big thing to live up to, has proved very
demorahzing. That is why so much is
being done for the army of occupation
From one point Of view it sounds sill
ly, | suppose, TO think of working all
day Just to entertain men, but when
You consider that they are wild to get
home, and have little TO do, you see
that it IS q fertile field for Satan s
wiles
In some ways neither D. nor | care
to 90 to Germany, but it is the biggest
| opportunity now and gives us a chance
| to see more of the country. That is
worth a coed deal, / think. OF course,
when we report in Paris, we may find
| other plans.-whieh is all III the game
The sun is trying very hard to come
ont this minute. B. says in his letter
| hat the weather in China ''wee3s :
continually, Well. so it does in France
/ Why someone called it "sunny
/ France | cannot imagine. Rain.
snow, rain and rain is our program
/ How anything can grow ] fail TO see
/ but things do. The leaves are coming
i out en- nearly all the trees and some
+ beautiful shrubs are in blossom / have
no idea what they are,-big gloss
leaves shaped not unlike maple leaves
and clusters of pale yellow flowers,
very tiny. Also the fruit trees are in
bloom and violets have been out for
early 4 month The beds in the parks
