FRANCE Christmas at last! In France! — where forty of us meet our Honeys! We moor in Toulon. French naval base. The Gut just outside the gate. The Gut does not refer to anat- omy. How shall we say it? Wine, women, song, and crime? Nearby beckons nicer. The French Riviera (sorry, no swimsuits; it ' s winter). Monte Carlo. The Alps (break a shoulder skiing? one succeeding!). Wine country, per- fume country, castle country . . . it ' s all nearby. We have a rabbi for Hanukkah and priests for Christ- mas. We get parties from the Navy League and a trip to The Grotto for devotion. French families take our sail- ors home for Christmas. It ' s all nice — but not our home. We burn up the phone lines. Meanwhile, in Paris ... ah, Christmas in Paree! The planeload of LEYTE GULF ladies arrives Christmas Day. The aviators miss it. They pay later. We move to take the city. It ' s cold, but we ' re unde- terred: we tour! We take in the Eiffel Tower; the Notre Dame; Versailles; Les Invalides; Les Champs Elysee; Sa- cre Coeur Cathedral. Art lovers catch the Louvre for the Masters and the Orsay for the Moderns. We wine and dine at famous restaurants. We ride romantic river boats down the Seine. We meet for a picture at the Tower ... say tearful goodbyes to our Honeys at the airport . . . and make our way to Toulon for the rest of the cruise — which soon, goes over the hump! We ' re halfway home! THE BROGDENS, VERKUILENS, BRYANTS, FOLEYS AND FRIENDS MEET IN PARIS. BM3 MCMILLAN AND SN MCCLENAHAN RELAX IN THE GUT. ) THE JUMPERS AND THE BRYANTS BRAVE THE COLD.
