But the joy of the hot water was like "birthâ€" day and Christmas rolled into ome." For 45 minutes they revelled, splashing, shampooing, and when they emerged, pink and immacuâ€" late, they found water an inch deep in the whole shower booth, and running down the hall, where someone had erected a dam of siwdust, hoping to stem the tide.

However, an hour‘s swim~ afterâ€" ward took the edge from the painâ€" ful‘memory. A band concert in the afternoon ended in "retreat," which brought a lump to the throats of the three WACs about to be honorably disâ€" charged from service, realizing, as they did, that it was their last time standing at attention and saâ€" luting. The corps, said Betty, never meant so much to&:rr‘n at that moment. (In a 1 letter she spoke of the relief at the relaxed discipline, and shuddered at the thought of returning to it.) _ Horseback Ride in Florence ; Jn C s and. wm ig for comfort and recreaâ€" tion. _ Buildings are constructed of a little lumber, chicken wire and tar paper ...
