MADE MARCHING MEN SMILE
Appeal of Groups of Partisan Midi
nettes Got Desired Results From
Passing British Soldiers.

The Paris Figaro recounts the fol-
lowing picturesque episode at a review
recently, which admirably expressed
the enthusiastic admiration of the
Partisan crowd for the British SOL
diers. The latter marched past, stern
and impressive. Groups of midinettes
observed that the soldiers were not
smiling. "Smile, please, SMILE" they
cried in French. The men did not
falter, but continued to march, grave
and meditative, because they did not
understand. "Cry Smile to them," a
linguist in the crowd suggested,
whereupon the group of midinettes
cried in English, "Smile, please,
smile" And then the British smiled,
to the great delight of the girls.
LOeuvre writes: eve may say with
out hesitation, because we know we
shall be understood by our incompar-
able Polius, that it was the British
troops, and especially the Scotch, who
produced the greatest impression"
