This picture of French peasant
women in the field is reminiscent of
Millais's famous painting. At right is
a characteristic peasant, cheerful de-
spite the wars devastation.

Nine Maurice de Wendell, wife of. the
great steel manufacturer, whose HUSBAND
is in America studying manufacturing sys-
TENS, is accompanying him to study our
welfare work among women and children
Many women of the land owning class
have initiated progressive methods of So
cial service in the country towns near
their estates.
Countess de Viel Castel whose chateau
is in the department of the Eure, has in
augurated in her vicinity very active
welfare organization comprising system
of visiting nurses and cookery classes and
sewing classes for girls.
The Princess de Paix has hospital for
orphans left tubercular by the hardships
OF the war and the Princess de Polignac
and the Marquise de Noailles have each
initiated welfare work on large scale.

seems little real understanding of such CO.
operation as exists among other workers
who are unionized.
An encouraging instance is that in the
north of France there is a cooperative So
ciety of about 300 farmers. They make
butter in accordance with the Pasteur sys-
TEN on very large scale. Ten thousand
quarts of milk are produced daily, and
LOO pounds of butter are made, all of
which is shipped to the large cities.
The same group of farmers has en-
larged its capital, and has built factories
for the preparation of linen for the spin
ming mills; this process was formerly car
ried on in the homes. and was one of
great drudgery, thereby threatening to de-
crease the growing of flax. With that diff
ticulty removed and the mills being rap
idly reconstructed, the linen industry will
now become greater than before the war.
The French woman, as a general rule.
in her activities is essentially what is
understood by the word feminine. Among
Anglo-SaXon and Teutonic women there
is far more invasion into the affairs of life
that lie outside of the circle of the home.
However, there is great amount of well
fare work carried on by French women in
an inconspicuous way. "A large proportion
lief organizations are run by women, who
devote much of their lives to the work and
of whom one never hears.

Radical in Politics
When They Take Interes,

And in cases where they do break away
from woman's established sphere and be-
come active politically they take, as a
rule, a very radical stand. An American
woman married for many years to a
Frenchman has said that in America one
can be the mother of a family, member
of the golf cluj and a. political leader all
at the same time-but that in France one
must take ones choice of the various des-
TIMES and eliminate the others.
But things even as deeply rooted i'm ma
tional life as the conservatism of French
women have been shaken loose by the war,
and in many directions since 1914 the
women have ventured into new fields and
evinced new interest in old ones. In mod
ern welfare work there has been a great
accession of energy. Many women have
taken up with enthusiasm the ideas of So
cial service demonstrated by the great well
fare organizations during the war, and are
striving to spread their influence among
the French people. These progressive
women are keen to know the latest devel-
opments in social work.

ter, keeping sharp eye on the details of
trade.
In rural life she does an immense
amount of heavy work. and in the fields
she labors shoulder to shoulder with the
man. In political matters the bulk of
French women have a rather detached
viewpoint With their intense patriotism
and family feeling, they take vivid inter-
est in anything that affects their beloved
country or their families, but they dis
play little energy or interest in the polit-
ical activities of women as separate

Work of Reconstruction
a Great Human Drama

In the north of France is the great
human drama of the Reconstruction. 1t
is there that the deep love of country. that
glorified France during the cataclysm Of
the war is continuing to manifest itself
The fundamental attribute of the nation
the love of the French peasant for the
patch of land on which he was born and
where he worked out his destiny is there

Vocational Training, Too.
After Studies Are Endc I

The "CoRr dAppreHtisSaoe" gives voca-
tional training to the Argonne boys and
girls who have finished their studies; the
boys are trained to be farmers and the
girls to be housewives gardeners, dress
makers, milliners &c.
For the training of the boys the associ-
alton Is making use of the Farm Schools
of the Ministry of Agriculture
Finally, the Argonne Association says
that its purpose is not only to help war
orphans in France, but also to make its
work contribute toward the better care Of
children throughout the world.
And what of disarmament? AS with the
Belgians. so is It with the French: they
cannot shake off their fear of another in
vasion. They have no confidence in Ger
many's word or Intentions. They claim
that they are not miltaristic, but must
protect themselves. One thing is certain:
There will be no reduction of ornaments
here unless some guarantee is given the
French that other countries will come to
her aid in case of need.

revive the thoughts and feelings of the old
life even though it's outward symbols are
yet to be rebuilt
This drama of reconstruction is an illus
tration on an immense scale of that ele-
ment that makes of France stable nation.
Her varied political history and the emo
lions and volatile nature of her people
had caused France, before 1914, to be con-
sidered as somewhat undependable among
the nations this vindication during the
war OF her glorious stability being ex-

Americans in this great work One woman
expresses the opinion that the American
women have done much to stabilize the
morale of France. She said she thought
their example of unselfsh work had cut
very deep, and would be even more recoe

to illustrate her point:

Argonne Association Work
Is of Prime Importance
One American organization, the Argonne
Association, is arousing much interest at
10 mO r;oin 11y tab1 1icba
by the Red Cross to provide home and
family life for the French child who has
no parents; to insure his health to edu
cate him and train him to earn his liveli
hood. and to develop his character that he
may become an upright and useful citizen
The aim OF the association is to do thes
things so economically and well that Others
will follow its example.
There are million children here who
have been deprived by the war of their
source of protection and support because
their fathers laid down their lives for
France. On the fate of these orphans de
pends, to a great extent, the future OF
France. with all that France means to civ
ilization. Children of all ages are cared
for, from early infancy to adolescence.
The "CercIe des Enfdnts' is situated
about fifteen miles from Paris and cares
for children under years of age. These
infants are placed in carefully selected
families; a trained nurse resides in the
town and supervises their homes. their
feeding and their health. The "CoIonie
Fdmiliale' provides home care in the coun-
try for children from to IA years of age.
1t is located at Dun-sur-Auron, south OF
Bourges. Here in the clean homes of this
quaint old town these orphans live like
other children they share the family life.
they go TO school dressed like their school
fellows. There is nothing to distinguish
them from children who have fathers and
mothers to care for them.
