Y. w. C. A. IN FRANCE

The American Y. w. C. A. at the
invitation of the French government,
| is opening as fast as possible foyers
or social rooms in the industrial CEN
tiers of France, for the French wom-
en- and girls in business life and the
French ouvieres in factories. In Paris
and in France these clubs are very
happily named Foycrs dos Allies.
| The first Y. w. c.. A. secretaries
were sent to France last August at
the request of leading French women
OF advanced thought, to provide So
cial workers, recreation leaders.
physical directors, cafeteria manag-
ers, foyers and hostess houses for the
French women employed in the great
Industrial and munitions centers.
During tn year over sixty secre.a-
rfes have gone over. Instead of send
ing hundreds of American women to
France the Y. w. c. A. is seeking to
cooperate with French women, so
that after the war the work, which
is permanent and constructive in it's
character, may be carried out entire
ly by French women.
There are now two foyers in Paris,
one for the women of the bureaus of
the war department; three in Lyon,
one at st. Etienne. iJwo at Bruges.
two at Tours and others being Great
ed at Montlucon and Roanne. with re
que-ts from Grenoble, Toulon, Toul-
ouse, Bordeaux, Brest, s.. Nazaire,
and many other industrial towns.
1t strikes us that this organization
is working along proper lines, for it
costs several times as much to keep
an American woman in France as it
does French woman.
