the restaurant of the chestnut trees. Afterward we took a walk, saw the very pretty old Place S- and the park, and went to the symphony concert in the grand salon of the Hotel de Ville.  Possibly you will be interested in what we heard!  So here is the program.  I can't send the printed program because it has the name of the town in a half dozen places.
      Premiere Partie
1. Ouverture de Patrie... Bizet
2. La Source (Ballet).. Delibes
3. Les Berceaux... G. Faure
4. Scenes Alsaciennes ... Massenet
      Deuxieme Partie
1. Ouverture de Guillaume Tell... Rossini
2. {a. Prelude et Clair de Lune (Werther) Massenet)
     b. Allegro..... Cervetto
3. Phidyle..... Duparc
4. Impressions d'Italie... G. Charpentier.
    After having heard almost no real music for a long, long time it was a real treat to listen to a good orchestra and to such charming things as the first number and the last two.
   Afterward, we strolled in the park a few minutes where a great crowd of French people were being delighted by an American military band. It was playing, "Oh Johnny!" when we were there. Perhaps it was the liveliness that appealed to the crowd.
   The drive home in the early evening
