Roosevelts Celebrate Small Christmas Amid War Absences
In New York a quiet Christmas day at the White House finds four Roosevelt sons serving abroad and Anna Boettiger with her family in Seattle, while Mrs. Roosevelt and the President share gifts beside a lone stocking marked for Fala. Elsewhere Isabel Hallin, once Vera Zorina, is found dead in Greenwich Village from suspected self-inflicted gas exposure, amid reports of typhus spreading in Lithuania and Baltic regions.
