The girls employed here come
direct from their devastated fields

what little clothing they have saved.
They live twenty In room, with
curtains as the only partition Thor
work is wearing, and they are very
| lonely with memories beyond the
comprehension Of one who has never
seen her country laid waste by the
Germans
because Of these things they crave
sympathy, and often mistake for
Such, advantages which are funda-

Miss Betty Scott. Y. W. G. A..
secretary lately returned from

vcntlon recently that in some local
tiles these women, unprotected by
uniform that demands respect do
not dare step ont Of doors al night

contend with ig the wandering mon. 1

dazed by the continuous roar OF the
great guns in their bombarded
towns, or half-Crazcd bv tho terrible
treatment received at the hands of
the German tyrants who held some
OF them prisoners one or more years,
arc no longer responsible for their
actions
Tho mental condition 81 these
women war workers is terrible, and
the Y. w. c. A workers in allevlat-
ing theS" conditions arc doing Il
glorious thing.
Despite their suffering and phvsi-
cal drudEery, these girls are a re-
sponsive lot, and welcome with pa

one has to climb narrow spiral

Chlnhwarc Scarce.
Among other things that seem TO
be scarce in France are cups and
saucers. One Blue Triangle girl

that led from their enCdmpment -
this nearest urban center. The cou
try was more or less like our Ne
England scenery, except that barn
yards fronted on tn" road and gar
dcns were in back, but the city was
well just French, with its sunny
pavements, narrow sidewalks and
white plaster walls. French boys
played about in funny black pima
fores, old women who might have
stepped ont OF painting hustled
about and everywhere We're American
boys, sitting around eating from their
mess tins and surrounded by an ad-
mirtng crowd Of children.
The whole city, however, produced
only a dozen cups and saucers. and
It looked as though some would
have TO drink from the latter-a
proceeding which wouldn't be ap-
proved in polite prc-war families:
but was merrily COndored at an

their home duties, the only time
that these workers can take recrea-
ton is at their lunch hour; and here
is where the Y. w. c. A. is doing
wonders to keep up their morale.
Cafeterias have been built In the
lofts of the great munition factories,
few easy chairs, pretty ChintZ cur
tains and perhaps a shaded light or
two, and the place takes on a home
atmosphere that Is revelation to
these homeless, war-ridden people.
The American government IL now

wholesome food, for both soldiers
and war workers. II we are to win
the war.
Music is one Of the things loved
most by these women, many Of
whom are refined and cultivated,
representing the best classes of fam
lilies in France who, losing everything
by the German invasion. or impelled
by their intense patriotism, are
working side by side with the most
poverty stricken. Short programs
are given each noon hour by volun-
teers, for there are many concert
pianists and musicians among their
numbers.
