Conger Reynolds correspondence, April-December 1919

1919-05-31 Daphne Reynolds to Mary Goodenough Page 6

about on the steamer, and while we were dangling around the station waiting for the train to leave, I learned that the Y.M. and K.C. people were all to be sent over to the states again.  Can't even see Paris. They are awfully cut up about it, poor things, but Paris is simply alive with them, all living at government expense and doing nothing. 
We've not found an apartment yet.  In fact we've not looked, but this weekend they are very busy in the office, so we've had no time.  Today we went down & got my luggage.  Darn it all, the only thing they opened was the suit case containing Conger's stuff, and there on top was that baby shoe.  Fred, the he-hussy!  If I couldn't kill him.  It was the wildest moment of my life, I believe.  Conger looked at it and then at me and all I said was "Fred."  That was enough.  He quickly put it in his pocket.  I'm scared to death he will pull it out by mistake down here.
