nine thirty. / considered that l
had spent very pleasant and profit
able evening.
Since / started this letter | have
been to church and had dinner.
The services at the Y were fine.
There is no protestant chaplain here
now, There are two stationed here
but they are both off on leaye) 90
the catholic chaplain opened ser
vices by making a fine talk on our
best friend, Mother" He used
no scripture or taught no doctrine,
but just gave us fine talk. Then
there were songs by the congrega-
ton and violin solo by one of the
young men of the post. One OF the
English girls sang Mother McRee"
BEAUTIFULLY. Mr.. Hornbeck, Man
ager of the Y here, read tribute
to Mother and Pershing's tribute to
the Women of the A. Z. f., Dad
Brown, of the Y here, then read us

OF stopping so much of the senti-
ment that seems now to be quite
prevalent in the states regarding
the men who are left in this coun-
try by their divisions on Detached
Service. There is quite popular
supposition over in the states re-
garding men who are left over here
that causes many of the boys
sweethearts to write them farewell
letters. This seemed a joke at first
but now it is a quite serious prob

and the Colonel liked it o we'll that
he wrote even etter one; He
read both of them AMI they are to

you one. Then another Y man
made US good talk and one OF the

solo. Don't know what this la
dy's name is, but | work in the
room that she has charge If guile

Daisy" and we boys only know
her as such. She is a good, whole

ing everything good naturally and
always ready to help anyone whom
she can She played for the SER
vices this morning and she sisgs
well, When we left the building
one OF the Y women gave us each
a narcisus.
Last night two young ladies and

sick and wasn't able to be with us,
so Miss HUMPHREYS had to do more
than her part in order to help fiji
up the program. so she told us me-
gro stories, not as you read them in
books, but as you hear them in the
South, and she. must have lived
there in time as she could beat Joel

Then aside from her classical music

sang Dixie for us playing her own
