GIRLS KEPT Wells
FOR FORTY YEARS
Dreams of AIsatian Lassies
Came True When French
Soldiers Returned.

WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES,
THANH, .Alsace, Feb. 2 (by mail).-
Just about the happiest girls in the
world today, are the girls Of Alsaee,
who, years ago, following their first
communion, secretly hid away their
white communion wells to be worn
again In welcoming the Esench troops
back to Alsace-should that happy
event ever come.
Today, these girls in that portion Of
Alsace which has been reoccupeid by
the French, are supremely happy, be-
cause they are girls whose dreams
have come true.
Some waited Ferty Years.
Some Of the younger ones had only
q few years in which to dream and
TO wait, but among the long lines Of
white robed and white yelled girls
and women, who welcomed the French
troops on their arrival at Thann in
August, 1914, there were come who
had cherished their communion wells
for over forty years.
And now that this happy dream has
come true, the white communion veils
are again being laid away for another
happy dream that promises not to be
90 long In coming. This 10 the mar
riage between Alsstian girls and the
French soldiers who. have redeemed
their province for France.
z Fsur Marriages Already.
Already in the town Of Thanh alone
four OF these marriages have taken
place, when white vsAs, worn at the
nrst communion, then to welcome the
French soldiers back to Alsace, were
finally worn for the third and last
time at the marriage ceremony
which symbolized anew the union Of
France and Alsace.
The brides In these happy events
had the additional pleasure Of having
the civil marriage ceremony perform
ed by q gallant French captain, who,
having lost his right arm in the fight
ing to redeem Thanh, now serves as
the French military mayor, while the
religious ceremony was performed by
French priests who came In the wake
of the French army.
