For u Al y covery. What part of Oklahoma City. Do you come from what High school did you go to in t it wonder Ful to meet people from Home seriously she confides when i first came to Tokyo i was homesick As the Dickens. Then pne Day when i was Riding a Ginza bus i just Acci dentally sat Down next to the nicest woman and we got to talking. And just by Accident she mentioned that she was from. Oklahoma City. Of course i immediately told her i was from Oklahoma City too. And you can t imagine of excited we both were i had her Over for lunch next Day and she introduced me to two other delightful women. Also from Oklahoma City. Now we have a Little club that meets twice a week. I m terribly Happy in Tokyo now. In fact i feel As if i Haven t left Home at All a pain in the neck to All occupy Tio Aires is the Woodbury society Matron who has gleaned All her ideas about society women from Reading the soap ads. In the states she was probably your next door neighbor who every Day Hung out her Wash the same time you Hung out yours. Now that she s in Japan s she s forgotten she Ever did an honest Day s work and she does t want anyone to think that she s Javeri been 4aiythlhg tit sri Debutante to she Dwse to the Teeth at All hours of the Day talks of nothing but parties clothes and the servant problem and has few friends because she is afraid of get Ting mixed up with the lower / v last but not least is the head quarters and service hound who makes life miserable for people who work in Supply and maintenance offices of the dependent housing projects. Regardless of How Many peo ple Are ahead of her on the waiting list hers is the roof that must be first repaired hers the windows that must be curtained. The furniture the government issues her never suits her at least not for move than a Day or two. She squawks about color combinations. First to the sergeant then to the Captain then to the colonel. She thinks the army is just another department store and that she the customer is always right. She com Plains to her Friend thusly kid you remember that $250 chinese Oriental Rug i bought in november. Blue with Pink dra Gons in it Well yesterday they issued me drapes ,. And the drapes Are chartreuse. The combination kid is simply awful. 1ouout it. I caused up Ketchup in dependent housing. Joe knows him personally. And i gave the colonel hell. Absolute hell. Colonel Ketchup was very Nice he said he was frightfully sorry but at present time the army was fresh out of. Anything but Char Treuse. It seems that Fuschia which was what i was desp artely hoping for had All been issued to majors and above. Well kid when he mentioned that Fuschia was Only for majors i really hit the ceiling. I told and i told him that. And i said that my husband May Only be a Captain tout that my Best Friend was the daughter of general whimsy and what did he think of that i m not going to Stop till i get my Fuschia drapes. Even if i have to write my congressman. One of the biggest findings Climax ing my year s study of dependents is that there Are a whale of a lot of. Dependents. And though Sohie dependents return to the states others arrive immediately to take their place. Cussing out dependents it Egu fir Hobby of Dac s is a com plete waste of time and As useless As r complaining about the weather. There s nothing you can do about it indents Are Here to stay Ata. , 3ti, a win Otto i 4 a Raon Radii a iia 9rfi in
