general plan Of American women to do
good in the communities in which they
dwell.
The women Of Paris we're told what
they wanted to know. They showed
deep interest in the effort of American
women to make life easy, to do some
thing for the mothers, and to make
the way Of the working girl easier.
It is perhaps almost startling to say
that the women of Paris are show /
ing an interest in woman suffrage.
Thirteen months ago a society WON
an Of Paris would have been held al
most an anarchist if she had ex-
pressed desire to- know OF woman's
suffrage with view of possible con-
version to belief in it.. When this
war is over there can be no doubt that
woman's clubs will be founded in
Paris, that they will have large mem
berships and that into their work will
be thrown spirit Of devotion.
Put in Regular Hours.
From eight o'clock every morning
until five o'clock in the afternoon the
society women of Paris work either
in the hospitals or in the shops where
employment has been given to those
whom war has deprived of the oppor-
tunity to earn their daily bread. At
five o'clock the society women go back
home to enjoy the only relaxation OF
the day. To considerable extent,
Paris has taken over the English Gus
tom Of tea drinking. The women Of
the city drink tea at five o'clock, and
with it eat bread very lightly spread
with butter. No cake Is served, be-
cause cake Is an extravaganza as they
view it, and moreover to leave it alone
is to practice self-denial. Anything
that the French woman can do to save
money she does, and the money she
saves she gives to the cause of her
country.
