I have a party on everyday this week, feature that, and sometimes two. We got home from school today my mother told me that I was invited out to the Balwines to a tea dance given for the officers of the Dutch Cruiser “Java”. I had a pretty good time at the party. They spoke fairly decent English. Afterwards three of them wanted to go to the Hotel. They asked me if I had a girl friend we could get so we went around after Helen. They were awful cute even if they were Dutch. Their conversation wasn’t any different from an Americans.
Jane's Notes: There is a place card in the scrap book in Dutch with a penciled note in Mom's handwriting that says "Dutch Navy".
