HAJEtRISBURG TELEGRAPH ' PERSONAL— LIFE IN FRANCE SO INTERESTING Miss Marian Watts Writes Home Folks What to Send to Our Soldiers Sunday, November 25, 1917, Dear Home Folks: We left Paris on Friday at the crack of dawn escorted on the taxi by a small elevator boy who chatter ed for us, carrfed our bags and put us on the proper train. The train was very full of officers and we passed several troop trains —hurryingto the front. 1 hope Italy can hold out, and be lieve they can. The French- people and soldiers thrill me down to the ground. They are so plucky and so wonderfully po lite. We mutilate their beautiful language and they bat an eye, but have endless patience in trying to understand. The men and tho chil dren have such lovely skin. The men as a whole seem small, but when large at all are very tall. There are many, many little children. This is the moat fascinating old town. Mr. Cleveland, our division secretary, met us at the train, with a soldier to hustle bags, run tho au tomobile, etc. He also brought a Y. M. C. A. worker, who is working for the American nurses. She is a Miss Notman, of New York city. She was most polite and took us to tea at the hospital that afternoon. It is the Detroit unit. Wo are to stay here in this town until some time this week, probably Wednesday. We spent yesterday morning at the Y. M. C. A. rooms cleaning shelves, arrang ing and rearranging supplies, peck ing up generally and setting things to rights. The rooms have been open about six weeks and run by two men most of the time. Poor dears, they are so grateful! Our hut secretary's name is Owen. He lives right in camp. Last even ing we took charge of the sales counter here in town while the sec retary had his supper and we got on finely. Bird did the selling and I the talking After supper we went to a small camp near about two miles and Gary Reynolds, a piano shark and singer, entertain ed the men. It was the first fun these men have had and they could hardly rise to it. They have been working, working every second. If the people at home only realized the Importance of our getting here ahead of the men they would give their last cent and their best men. Later we came back to the Y. M. C. A. here and "Gary" again performed. Ho goes about from place to place al ways traveling and is a wonder. He makes the men sing and delights their souls. He reads poetry very well and when he sings alone sends the shivers running. I wish any man who can sing would realize the work to be aone here. The music is the biggest attraction and holds them for hours. Yesterday afternoon we motored with Mr. Cleveland to our camp—a lovely ride. A tire had to be chang ed, so Bird and I walked part way and came upon our little town of cream-colored homes with red tiled roofs, nestled close under a hill. We are to live with the family of a law yer—a Madame and a Miss. The son Is, of course, fighting. It is an entrancing place, but we will write of It later when we get there. Wo are crazy about out camp. We have a huge frame hut nearly finished and we will have <;harge of It. We are so eager to begin. This morning at 1.30 there was a flagraislng at the hospital. It was very beautiful and Impressive and thrilled us very much. We sang "My Country, Tis of Thee" and "The Star Spangled Banner" to a cornet. I could have cried, the bugler played so beautifully. Mr. Cleveland came back with me and he, Mr. Reynolds, Miss Notman, Mr. Bachman and I had dinner together. Mr. Bachman is from Easton. This afternoon we went to the Y. M. C. A. where Gary Reynolds en tertained again. The enclosed Is a list of things that any one can send at any time. Speaking of things—l do believe I have used every one's presents. My love to all those whom I love Always devotedly, MARIAN B. C, WATTS. Suggestions For Gifts The list of things which Miss Watts suggests as desirable gifts for the boys on the other side are pic ture puzzles, games, lots of hard wa ter soap, crackers of all kinds but ginger, dominoes, flannel shirts with high collars, oiled boots, plenty of woolen stockings, warm gloves, magazines, candies, newspapers, lime drops, mouth organs, pictures for Y. M. C. A. huts, books, choco late and many other things which would add to the comfort of those abroad. She puts special emphasis on the value of newspapers, adding: "News papers here are so different that one from home is cherished literally lor weeks." She suggests bushels of Hershey almond bars and says "I wish we had 2,000 cakes for Christ mas." And further: "If tobacco can be sent, send It direct to me. Tell anyone who comes over to put It in his or her trunk. Tell the newspa pers to send us tobacco and tell ev eryone to write every one they know often, If only a post card. Picture cards with pictures of the home town mean much." Anything sent to Miss Watts may be addressed to her In care of the Y. M. C. A., American Expeditionary Forces. She suggests that every thing be sent In small packages by mail as express or freight is not re liable.
