I opened the Canteen at 7 A. M. and
closed it at ten P. M. We had one
grand time at the Canteen this
morning. Marnie, Ida, Louise, Helene
& I. Some soldiers -- who seemed
like boys we had always
had about a two hours wait and
made themselves at home. We
called each other by first names
etc. They were college boys -- so it
seemed almost like a "U" party.
One of them gave me a beautiful
aviator pin. Had lots of fun down
there tonight. Our girls were a
jolly bunch. John & Marnie were
here for supper. Letter from Mrs. J.

Cleaned house all morning. Have
een on the go constantly it
seems to me and up late at night.
We had a big box come by express
from Vantine's in New York this
afternoon. All kinds of wooden
Japanese toys -- souvenirs for our
Xmas breakfast. They are animals.
We expect to have lots of fun with
them. Mother, Mary & I went
up town about 4:30 and didn't come
back until eight. Ate our supper
at the Cafeteria -- did some
Xmas shopping. It is lots of fun
getting ready for Xmas.
