Got up at 6 A. M. and was off to the
Canteen. It was very cold. The
stars were still shining. Served
67 soldiers this morning. Received
a letter form Rev. Chichester. Back
to the Canteen tonight. Served only
140 soldiers today. We surely do]
have a good time together. Especially
Ida, Louise, Helene, Mabel, Marnie
& I. Harry came down after
me.

A great calamity befell teh town
today. I was dressing Mary when
Harry phoned that the Strasburg
building was burned to the ground.
Saylors too. It looked as if the
whole block would go. I went
down to see it. All the plate
glass in the whole block is
broken and there isn't anything
left of Strasburger's. It was too
cold to stay out long to see it.
Harry left for K. C. this A. M. to be
gone probably until Tuesday. We
were lonesome tonight that we
retired before 9 o'clock. Was invited
to a party at Steele's but didn't
go.
