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.
