follows:
Dear Friends:
Yesterday was an eventful and
interesting day for some of US at the
Aviation. Lieut.. B, my best
friend among the boys, with whom l
have worked since my arrival in Par
is, was married to one of my best
French friends, Mademoiselle D,
1t was very simple affair and the
only people to see the ceremony at
the Marie beside the contracting par
ties and officials, were the four wit
nesses and the brides mother, Ma
jor B and I were chosen to fur
nish the moral support for friend
B. So we arrived at the Marie
in our Cadillac eight at the appoint
ed hour, 1O.45, and met the other
members of the party. We inquired
of an attendant who was all dressed
up like a Christmas tree the proper
route to take to the marriage Office !;
he very carefully ushered us into the
first Chambre de MYSTERIES where we
signed in and were promtly seated
on a long bench. In a minute along
came another marriage party which
underwent the same red tape and
then arranged itself upon a bench.
This continued until there were five
gangs assigned to their right and
proper benches. Then an old chap
came out from behind big red cur
tain and announced in no uncertain
tones that the Mayor was ready for
the first customer By this time we
were all raring to go and it did not
take US too long to dodge behind
that curtain to find the Mayor seated
at his desk in most dignifed man
ner and with him two very important
looking assistants; one at his right
seated behind big book on a small
table, and the other situated at his
left with similar register. They all
arose and welcomed US as we entered
and solemnly draped ourselves over
the rickety chairs to wait and see
what would happen next. 1t turned
cut to be the collection which next
occupied our minds. That was one
