What human being, then however Partisan
he OF she might be. could have the heart to
amuse himself when be knew that the soldiers
of his country. all the men Of France. are ex-
posed not only TO shells. to bullets, and 70 hand
grenades. to savage hand-to-hand fights with the
bayonet and the knife but TO the hor-
rors OF asphyxiatiug gases which corrode the
eyes and the lungs, and of flaming liquids
which burn men up alive! Even the elemNts
have been more terrible, for never has war been
pursued with such complete disregard to the
suffering caused by the cold, frost, snow and the
foods Among those who came back TO Paris
untouched this Spring by bullets many had
their feet frozen off from prolonged exposure
10 cold in the trenc les. while perhaps many
will go mad from unrelieYed exposure to the
sun in Summer.
You ask me what has become OF all those who
whirled in the gay luxurious life of Paris now
transformed still beautiful but in another
fashion in its gravity so poetic under the
moonlight that no artificial radiance distrrbs
or so mysterious in the cloak of its nocturnal
mists?
AS far as the women of society are concerned.
the answer is simple. They are all nurses or
hospital workers, or enrolled in some patriotic
organization We may state that. thanks to
them the laboring population of Paris. suddenly
deprived of work, has, up to the present. not
suffered from misery.
Our women have founded societies to relieve
those about to become mothers, to take care OF
the babies and to help families too large to be
supported by poor parents. If there had not
been a terrible influx into Paris of refugees
from Belgium and the invaded parts OF France,
the foresight and the devotion of Partisan so
cety women, acting In cooperation with the
Government officials. would have been sufficient
to prevent all distress in the city.
AS for the "artistes." their duty was dis
tinctly marked out from the beginning. They
gave their help TO patriotic matinees. organized
for the benefit of patriotic societies. they
went to the quarters Of the convalescent sol
diers, to sing or recite patriotic poems before
the wounded, who listened to them with en-

chantment-
How do these "artistes" live during the war!
They are for the most part, both men and
women, in very distressed condition. But
they bear their poverty nobly We have or
ganized many societies to help them privately
for they are too proud to be the objects of pub
lie charity. Performances. which bring in very
little, are given for their benefit. They con-
tent themselves with the existence of the pro-
verbal grasshopper and never complain. Many
a former ornament CT the Paris stage is to-day
cheerfully consuming a dinner worth ten SOUS.
And, then. you may ask what has become OF
the women who are not really "artistes, but
only what we playfully cali foolish virgins
That is a question about which l have not
thought much. We women have thought above
all of preserving the French race, which is IL
danger-the men who fight the women who
produce children, the children who are the
future Of the country But we must not, after
all neglect any of the good seed even If 1t has
fallen among tares. The foolish virgins
themselves have indeed given many examples
of devotion to the fatherland

The poor girl could hardly recover from the
happiness which this caused her. She handed
out her "plastrons" to the soldiers and kissed
their hands as she did so, which astonished
them very much. She wept and said to me
repeatedly:
"Oh, do not deserve this"

In the course of the Winter she sewed for me

To-day there Is not human being in Paris
or in all France who is exempt from the effects
OF the war Every man is a soldier from 20 to
40 years of age. and there is practically no one
who has not close relatives in the war. More
over, the present war is so terrible that hardly
any one returns unhurt, either from actual
wounds or from injury to his health. The dan

posed are so atrocious that it is not possible

ONE year OF the greatest war in history.
\ and we see a Partisan life that no
- stranger who knew it only before the
war would recognize.
The gayest Of cities the community OF pleas
ure-seekers and p1easure-makers has been
transformed into a community Of earnest men
and women, OF Sisters Of Mercy, of wounded
soldiers. and OF solemn citizens. weighed down
with their responsibilities.
The calm and grave attitude Of Paris since
the war has astonished many foreigners. Ali
they knew of Paris was an exterior of luxury
ano pleasure. theatres, restaurants cabarets,
cafeEconcerts. the hill of Montmartre orna-
mented with the sails of its Moulin Rouge and
Its short-skirted dancers.
Such people cannot understand how all that
could disappear at a stroke and how another
Paris has replaced the Paris which they sup
posed TO be only a city Of feasting, a place OF
Joy, where people came to amuse themselves
from all ends Of the earth.
In other wars, such transformation was not
seen Even in the cruel siege OF 1870, much
gaiety was maintained and many noted Par
isian wit made merry over his scanty banquet
Of horse meat. Paris was never before extin-
guished. never ceased altogether to laugh or to
dance. That is because all other wars were
