Irene and I played the victrola most of the morning. After dinner Irene went with me to the beauty parlor where I had my hair washed and marcelled. In the afternoon we went over to Irene D.'s place and stayed till after 5 o'clock. I came home with a bouquet of roses which Irene gave me. In the evening we went to the promenade to hear the gypsy music. It was very nice. I met some more girls. Of course the soldiers would have to be there. The little one spoke Eng. to me. Capt. Hamada wanted to go to the Ice Helle when I go. They walked home with us, too. Oh! such a night. And then we always get a bawling out when we go with them. We went out walking yet with Soly and Max. Boy! did the soldiers look at us then. Soly and max always make a lot of fun. We went to bed quite late. About 2 o'clock in the morning we were awakened by music and heard someone talking and laughing. It was the gypsies, Max, Soly, Gus, and someone else. Then the fun began. When we thought they were gone Irene went to the window. Up jumped on of them. You should have seen Irene run. It was quite a while before we could get them to go.
