I was invited to speak and spoke about [[red underlined]] King Albert [[/red underlined]] and some incidents to his two visits in America. The other diners told stories of their experiences in Belgium during the war, some repeated some songs invented by B.R.C. and the spirit of the evening was the same of a meeting of alumni at annual dinner.

To think that it is already [[red underlined]] 20 years since Hoover took up his work in Belgium. [[/red underlined]] Lately he received scant gratitude for it from the Belgians.

W. 57 street and came home enchanted of having met so many of our friends who came there. I shall go tomorrow alone
[[underlined]] Oct 24. [[/underlined]] At 1 P.M. [[red underlined]] went to Celine exhibition [[/red underlined]] nobody there but one man taking notes. Celine's exhibit makes [[red underlined]] excellent impression, [[/red underlined]] even better than when I saw them at home unframed and with less favorable light. Her little collection of exhibits look better than the best of other paintings exhibited there not to speak of some "modernistic" atrocities, called [[strikethrough]] Nou [[/strikethrough]] "Art Nouveau!" - She certainly has reached unexpected skill in an art which she took up only a few years ago, and which has given her much happiness.
