Notes of Y. w. C.. A. War Work
France.

Miss Sarah P. Watson, daughter OF
Col. R B. Watson of Ridgeway, and !
recently one of the faculty of Coker
college, is the only South. Carolina
woman who is doing Y. w. c. A.
work in France. She has been aci-
ing as hostess for signal corps girls
at a town on the coast of France.
She. writes that her girls are very.
very happy over the prospect OF q
home, especially after the disagree
able experience they have had about
lodging.
Every French woman knows the
Blue Triangle, for it has stood for
the American Y. w. C. A. in France
ever since our war began.
Wherever building has been
swept and white iron beds installed.
wherever a steady line of stretcherS
pass through the doors c. convent,
chateau, or portable shed-there one
sees a Y. W. C. A. hut. The value
of these huts to the nurses can not
be estimated. It is here that they
get the "bit CT home" that braces
them for the long hours filled with
painful duties that lie before them.
A nurse rushed into a Y. w. c. A. hut
one day, and threw herself on the
bed The hostess anxiously inquired
what she might do to help. The
nurse finally confessed that she had
lost her 4" nerve" in the operating
room and the surgeon sent her to
the hut TO get it back.
A labor bureau. of the American
Y. w. C. A. has been established III
France This co-operates with the
American labor bureau of Paris. The
French women who come from the
invaded districts in the north, abso-
lutely destitute, have been especially
in need Many of them come from
homes where they have known every
comfort and have been suddenly
thrown upon the world without re-
sources.
An Association secretary in
France reports: 'It is a French
town of munition workers, almost all
of whom are refugees. There are no
trees, no streams, no green grass
When the sun shines there is moth
ing to break its rays and when it
rains the mud is ankle-deep. The
girls come direct from their devas-
tated fields and villages. Every few
DAYS there is a new batch Of them.
carrying their clothing in pasteboard
boxes or small trunks, and not in
frequently they are dressed in their
village costumes.
The Y. w. &c. A. has Foyer de
Allies there There are some who
always come to the Foyer every noon
and every night. 1t is the one bright,
clean, cheerful place for them, where
they read, write, sew. iron and tell
something about themselves, their
homes and their families.
After the war some of the girls
will carry back to their villages the
spirit of service and sisterhood as
they have found it in the Foyer in
bleak munition towns.
