Readers encounter miscellany from wartime life including talk of German visitors to the Americas and a joke about an actor’s marital status. An American Croix de Guerre recipient recounts her France relief work with vivid scenes of refugees, air raids, and Gestapo mischief. The column also notes college twins and social notes with playful editor’s quips.
