They carry ; fy lrerd around with them most all the j 3 time and cut off a chunck and At it 1 just as v.e would apples. They arei j-reat consumers of red sour wine. which Is very cheap. Their canteens ! jjcj do a large husia?ss in cheese, sar-ira c'incs, and chocolate. They also sell 1 53 French fried potatoes, a mess kit full e3 ior 2c.

Ia the center of the build- re Is a large opening running from ; the ground floor to the rcof, 7 floors if!ove. The roof is dome shared of I stained gias, and a beautiful riecej of work. Tne window decorations! in this store were surely wonderful, j ic were also the arrangement of the i show cases, etc , etc.. in the interior, i ior. We lunched at a little restaurant on Montaigue avenue near one of the Y". :.I. C. A.'s. After lunch we went to the athletic meet at Colum bus park. There was a large crowd there, soldiers, sailors and marines, three bands, French, English and American. There were races, re lays, ball games, etc., etc. The Y. M. C. A. had two stands there and were ! selling ice cream, lemonade, tobacco,! and (real American white bread 1 1 ham sandwiches, and our French friend was particularly pleased with j tiie white bread, the first he had had 1 for a long time. We did not stay! nit here long, however, for we wera more interested in seeing Paris. The only1, one of the athletes which we !;new was Keriat, the winner of the r.vle race, and who was from our c.rop. He also wen the mile race at the Olympic games at Stockholm. We rode to and from the grounds in n double-decked car, like I mention-f-1 before. We ate our dinner at the Enlisted Men's Y. M. C. A. hotel, and It was rome dinner, prepared by one of the .et chefs in Paris. The dining room was heavily decorated, the walls al most one solid mirror, and we had seffle service. I'm inclosing the menu card. While we were In there eat inr; our dinner, the big gun landed a couple of shells on Paris, and in 20 minutes after it lit we were on the si'Ot, and as we were on our way 1-ome last night the Germans pulled mother air raid which flunked again. The barrage fire as quite elaborate and as it's hard to tell during a raid 'htther the airplanes gt over or not, tey are always interesting. We went to services in the Madel :i.t church in the morning, and the big pillars were decorated with .'rcericaa flags. A "petite francias madamoiselle" took 00 centimes away from me for the little flag in this letter, but, it was for French war charities. Love. HAROLD.
