EFFECTS OF WAR ON FRENCH GIRLS.
PARIS. Dec. 13. What effect has the war had on the young Parisiennes? is the question! agitating their parents and stodents ot] socier Two competent persons- one a Catholic priest. Abbé Mugnier, i the other a fortune teller. Mrs. Fraya-have given their views on the subiect.
They say a rapid change has come over the French young girl which has not been to her advantage. Through the war she has become stronger in character, she is fearless and does not yield easily to her emotions.
The priest, on the other hand, 'said | the young women have learned a for of slang tor easily and remember the poilas slogans. Nevertheless, he reckons that a girl will come back to her family vivacious and more active and free than before. She endures hardships more easily. Abbé Muge nier, however, remarks that the Parisiennes speech ohen shocks him as wall as their dress. This, he be- lieves, will die out. He has seen
them in the army hespitals and knowe that their patience and courage were often sorely tried, but always they have pulled through.
He is con- fident that they will again hold their own in private Nie.
The good Abbé finds that women have done much reading, during the war and considers them all the better for it. They have broader ideas of life to-day and join in conversations which before the war their parents considered unfit for their ears.
The Parisiennes who have taken to dancing since the war displease the Abbé, but he prefers to believe this is just an intermediare stage and that more serious affairs will prevail in the long run As regards war divorce. Abbé Mugnier is shocked. He says marriages were arranged too rapidly during the war. to the detriment of young girls who to-day-regret the days when they were single.
Mme. Fraya is of a different opinion concerning the point. She says women who have come to see her think of nothing else but marriage. and to-day their one great ambition is to get married and to have a home of their own and children. The wave of laziness has, nor touched the young. girl, and Mme. Fraya considers that her sex will help the country to re- gain its corms! aspect quicker than 'mer can. Girls like work and are
not afraid of working hard and long.
They have learned to suffer also. says Mme. Fraya. Take love romances, she remarks. How many girls during the war fell desperately in love only to find their ideals broken very rapidly. These girls, made braver by the war. have suffered tem porarily, but-have-decided to face the world alone.
