I'm going to take care of you as well as your own mother does at the same time I'm fooling you into thinking you're having your own way about things. Honey, it appears so attractive ahead that I can hardly wait for the time. The sun came out today - now yesterday - as if in celebration of the important occasion. And the church bells woke everybody up playing chimes at 6 a.m. When I heard them I wondered whether the sexton had heard that this was our fourth anniversary or peace had been declared. Later I found out it was only in honor of St. Mark. It seems he did something or other on the 25th of April - anyway it became his day. The Hearst-Pathe' movie photographer filmed the activities of our section today. I suppose the fillums will get into Missouri sometime between June and August. If you followed the news pictorials carefully you might get to see your husband in action, but the result wouldn't be worth the effort. I figured as an actor in two scenes. One showed the press section cars leaving our office in turn as they do when the correspondents and visitors start for the front. I played the game by slinging my "Carnegie derby" and gas mask over my arm and clambering into a car
