street cars seem to run all night. All Athens or rather all Greece seems to be on the streets all the time. I shall remember Athens as the city where we always walked single file - and we dodged in and out and wound about the people. We literally elbowed our way through the crowds in the streets. We met and were entertained by some prominent people while in Greece. Dr. Streil, a former ambassador to Germany, entertained us at his lovely home for luncheon, a drive and for tea. He originally was connected with the royalist party and a close friend of King Constantine before the change in the government. Then we were twice at tea at Mr. Miller, the English writer about the modern problems of Greece. Very delightful people! Then we met Dr Lovejoy the author of "Certain Samaritans" and the head of the American Women's hospitals in the part of the word; and a number of prominent people of the government. In all we were entertained at dinner three times and at tea six times. The sea is as smooth as glass - in fact I never saw anything more tranquil. But Van is up to his usual misbehavior. I don't know what to do to him. He lost all his lunch and breakfast and stand around looking like the last
