just ' now. The. army has a bus ser-
vice now, so we can travel With ease.
In fact, .you Can go -anywhere in..Ilol-
iand-now -by army bus. '. .
(Later.). Have just finished supper
affer,'a.�eturuing from an all -day trip
that has been . most interesting. I
left the club about 10• this Morning and
part way by bus and part by boat ar-
rived ' at an island called.- ',Marken,"
-Where the ,Holland 'peopl'e` live as they
did many' years' ago .j.ust for the sake
of tradition and 1 .think what they
can got out Of the tourists.. I would
call it a very hard and lonely life, but
with a• lot , of colpi', and you : could
not help but fall in loge - with the
children. On the island the people
are all Protestant.
First we went' into .one of their:
fomes, Where the lady of the house,
speaking English, explained. everything
to us. _•
Then the dress. There' is only 'one
wedding' dress for each family, made
in adjustable size -and -handed . down
from one . generation to, .the `next: It
is made full withrplenty of color, and
has `many things on it, such as . seven
flowers representing the Bible number
seven. - ' A girl' cannot be married until
she can make her own clothes and do
many house`hold.duties and cannot even,
look for x bdy friend until . , she is
eighteen. '"The •boys must be able to
curve their own• wooden. `shoes, includ-••
ing a fancy and often_p. very • pretty
pattern on theran ..as well.
With the children it' is impossible
to tell a. boy from a girl. They are
dressed lust alike and .the, -boys. wear
.their hair down to.' their shoulders.'
When the boy reaches the -age of nine
.lie is permitted to wear -pants. When
he 'is some older his hair is 'cut, until
one day he is•'at last turned out as a
man should be. • •. 4,
There are only seven families ,on the
island, - and one hundred and forty
persons; / so you can .see ' the inter-
marriage is prolific. .Anyone who
,marries one off the island must leave
their. happy (?) home for the mainland.
Thepeople are all f'mshernen and there
are boats by -the hundreds.
• 'Liring - Conditions '
The .houses on the island are . very
much alike. There is , a small - hall
just off the front door. Through this
you - enter the living -room and I' do
mean living -room, They .not only live
there ' and eat but also 'sleep there.
There is one double bed that is built
into .the wall. At any rate you • can
only 'fall out - one side. If there is a
baby in .the family that little individual
.sleeps in a: cradle. built into the wall
at the foot .of the. main• bed- and at just
a height where one could sit up in
.bed and attend to it. I hes, the: child
Is too .big. for this he is placed in a
second bed built under the; first bed
and stays there, I `suppose, until 'it is
just ',plain, decent to move. When he
does tinaliy move, it is upstairs - rte,
as' fax as I .could see,. an ordinary bed
in the sane room. -in which• the fish nets
are mended. • If there should be two
children,. »one- 'a girl and one a boy,
1 don't know . what happens and „ I •
didn't like to .ask, but It looks to me
as though it would make no difference
whatever. There is also a small store
room and a kitchen. -The Wall of the
living -room is just covered with pic-
tures and plates from top to bottom.
Then 1 . ca.me back to the mainland .
to a place called Volendam. Here the
people . were Catholics and - although
most of the people - lived' in' the old
traditional`. way, there Were a• great
many' modern - folk, among them. I
liked this place even. better than'
Marken and the only big difference •1
could see ivas in the dress; which was
inclined' to be. plain, and the : men
dressed much better. At Marken'they
wore a• sort of knicker, white here they,
wore a very roomy but straight
trousers'a.nd coat all in black. Women
wore. a white h',at on, Sundays and a
black one. tb work in.
While.:w.riting' some notes in a book
1 heard a- laugh behind me and a voice
reading off what 1'wds writing. -, Turn-
ing around 1 saw a very good-looking
brown -eyed boy who looked about
twelve but said he ` was seventeen: I
thought a person who could read my
buyer, 'we will give you the 'ceiling
price.. •

At Amsterdam

of canals. A lot of the homes are
very old... ---1n- fact, some ••of the--hquses
leaned against one another as if they
were tired of standing alone. 1 for

I saw the house in wliirh Rembrandt
lived and the first English ships to
tonne into Amsterdam unloading, 'also, a
Dutch ship, the first one.to come home
since•the war started. 'Of �,ourse there
was a lot of damage, but it is fast
being. cleaned up. Was through the
Dutch East Indies museum and it was
very interesting. Also the National
Art Galleries, and' saw - many , of the°

looked like .than anything else. Rem-
