chilly so I walked slowly back to Crown Terrace

with them. On returning to the Spa I noticed

soldiers and girls having a hockey match on

the sands. I watched - It was men + girls v

men and girls. Women certainly have smaller

feet than men but it seems they have not

the same control. Some of those men players

were as nimble as a Chamois but it was

quite a common occurrence for a girl to get

in to a muddle with her extremities and

endeavour to fall over the small ball and

bury it in the sand. They looked mad running

about showing all their legs. Quite a crowd

collected. I waited for Kitty coming up with

baby and then we toddled up to tea. Tonight

of course. Kitty and I have stayed together

and talked as usual.


By the way, my own, I cannot resist

teasing you. Do you remember the day I had

drawn Bertram Lewis for his little boy and

well - you thought it was foolish - I thought

of it as I passed the shelter in which we

made it up.

I hope you will come to England, my own
