RELYING ON WOMEN

The men have played their part,
and for lifetime being they are
out of action, but they know. even
though some Of them refuse to
admit it. that the women of France
will save France as they have
already done in the previous, war.
The French woman has been
totally misrepresented by a GER
tain school of novelists and play
wrights. The part assigned to her
in hundreds of books and plays has
been limited to the immoral amor
Gus triangle" to an exponent of
the art of dressing and makeup,
and French can-can.

been drawn, never has there been
such case of fragrant injustice.

from the angle of Paris,
and French women merely from
the angle of-PaFisian variety

they are bidding for obsolete and

The British navy and merchant
fleet is carrying on the tradition
