By LILIAN CHESTER. (Copyright, 1918, by the Newspaper Enterprise Association.) Paris, Feb. 28.—One can never quite decide whether these smart little snappy children of France have been copied from the fashion magazines, or | whether the fashion magazines have! copied from the children! To begin with, as soon as they’re able to walk, they know how to wear their clothes. The Frenchwoman’s inborn knack of putting on a bonnet jauntily is in! the tiniest girl toddler; the boy has the same jauntiness, and if he is the proud possessor of a military cape, be sure that one corner of it flaunts dash- ingly over his small shoulder, to re- veal the gay lining. On a day when there is a lifting of the mists which envelop Paris in the winter, and the sun comes out, and the very air glows as if it were full of fine spun gold, it is a joy to walk on the Champs-Elysees, for the chil- dren are laughing there. That walk is like turning over the poses of a brightly colored picture The luminous lacework of the trees, on. that beautiful broad avenue, the quaintly mingled traffic, the throngs of queerly assorted people on bench and pave, the ‘vendors, the parx swings and mery-go-rounds, form the border embellishments; but the pic- tures, those bright splashes of vivid calor here and there and everywhere, are the children. There's a wee girl in a yellow coat! a tawny yellow, but as warm as the sun itself just before it turns crim- son in the western sky, Absurdly short is that coat, and the skirts beneath it, ending well above} the knees, and revealing two long, lean little Jegs.in smart white leg- ging: a Bs ‘©n the top of her head, right in the midst of her glossy black curls, Found patch of @ skull cap, with a! saucy tasslé bobbing about one ear. Prim and sedate she stands on a big snowball, and forms about all the tab-; leau which could be put in so small @ ‘gpace. Only an instant of that wonderful Poise, then there's a flash of yellow through the air, and she’s racing up the avenue after a diminutive boy in Ted military pants, his toy gun in one hand and her doll in the other. There aga blobs of darting color in all the shades of pink and blue: there are violets and grays and glori- i little girl in scar- let! Thére’s ‘another one! No, sey ee tree of them,’ all ex- actly. the. aize, all dressed © ; : stretc! own from a ly short, skirts, .all jpink-cheeked, Ee | streaming over a shoulder or heneath out exactly understanding why. Some- times dogs are more or less dumb. There’s another youngster with a wooden gun. Oh yes, rather a cheap wooden gun, for even the kiddies are doing without things on behalf of the big war; but they’re not being de- prived; they're making sacrifices, and know that they’re doing it, and are proud of it! Guns are especially popular these last few years with small boys. This one has on the velvet “tam” of a-poilu, and he walks with quite an air of re- sponsibility for a person who is only five. He’s one of the future men of France, and seems to know it, some- how or other. It gives rise to another sober re- flection to note that his mother is in deep mourning. One might think that the cause gf that mourning would make her object to a gun as a toy for her baby, and that there might be pain to her in the martial stride with which he carries it, but nothing of the sort is apparent, for as he says something to her he looks up with a laugh and she answers with a smile. Skating in the Bois de Boulogne! There, with gay knitied caps and warm mittens and skates over their shoulders, marches a group of kiddics the biggest ones in the lead and the littlest ones stretching their legs al: most straight out to keep, up with the procession. Strange, there are no sleds. It scarcely snows often enough for that, however, Here are a couple of gamins! no change in them anyWhere in the world. ‘Battered shoes, and tattered knitted caps like dunce caps ja:\- med down over their eats, the tassle half off of one cap and entirely off the other, and the invariable knitted muffler wrapped around the neck, and an arm or somewhere, but flaunting with French jauntiness wherever the ends may be. Fire-red cheeks, they have, and wide grins, and a dancing devil in each eye; and they are indulging in the perhaps unrefined but universally known joy of bumping each other off the side- walk. The poor as well as the rich have a right to the Champs-Elysees, and while there may be a différence in the quality of their clothes and a dif- ference in the making, there is small difference in the way they wear them. Small difference, too, in the happi- ness of their faces, for the parents of France are doing this wonderful thing for their children, rich and poor and middle-class alike; THEY ARE KEEP- ING FROM THEM AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE THE GHASTLY HORROR OF THIS WAR. : “There are those who have no par- ents. The orphans of France form a great, and a constantly growing prob- lem. Much has been done’ toward saving these ‘more. than: food and shen He nee ful’ to ‘humanity, made happy as well as healthy. ‘No gloom for the little ones! Everybody in France makes that a constant effort. grief-stricken woman to turn always a smiling face when her caild asks for its dead father. ’ We know a most conscieatious woman who did not quite succeea one day. She succumbed to the tremead ous bitterness which was ia her, against not only the hell-losse1 Hun who had taken her husband and two brothers, but against everything, to the Infinite; a fierce protest that she, sn the midst of peace: and happiness, she and her countless widowed sisters ot France, had seen plunged into such needless agonies of grief. SHE CRIED! Something stopped her; the voice of her two-year-old son who was crying out of sheer sym- Her first and her most na- tinct was to clasp him in her but at the same moment came |the thought that, if future France’ is to maintain its centuries-old sublim{ty of courage and endurance, it was for her, as for every mother, to set an ex- ample of strength. So she dried he: tears, and smiled. But the future Frenchman was started and would not stop. The mos: powerful lever was used; he was told that ljttle French gentlemen did not cry! It was a terrible blow, and ae struggled with all his baby might to achieve the high ideal which was his because it. was his mother’s; but the soos continued.’ Amidst’ them, he stoutly maintained that he was a lit- tle French gentleman, even if he did cry; and #that' took almost more strength than his mother rossessed; for she was compelled to dispute his prapasition; . whereupon he turned from her knee and toddled to the door. He opened it, he marched through, snuffling and gulping, he closed that door; butrnot altogether. A tiny crack reniqined, it held slightly wavering for a long time, a very long time, The mother, sitting perfectly motionless, had as hard a struggle as te one which was going on in the hall. Ah! The door opened, and a smil- ing but moist face was revealed, while a triumphant voice proclaimed that the owner thereof avas indeed, and in fact,‘ a little French gentleman: THAT'S THE SORT OF LITTLE WOYS WHO GREW UP TO BE THE SORT OF MEN WHO HELD VER- DUN! ; It is one of our great privileges also to know of a certain little Mace- leine, who is five and a half years old. Madelinne, of course, cannot remember wh€n there was no war; but she can remember, with vivic distinctiveness, the air raids which occurred in the beginning, when the Germans were more convinced than now that the world was their foottall and that all they had to do was comc over in leisurely fashion, three or four nights a week, and drop bom%s intil all the little Madelienes and. Yvonnes and Henris and Jacques were de- stroyed. It has been a long time since the German has felt it safe or profitabie to try that trick on Paris, “but, long as the time is, Madeliene can remem- ber. the warning scream. of the siren, the deafening reports of the: airclaft guns, the whizz and shtigk‘of'the fall. ing bombs, the crash.o fthe explosions and the fires which flared up. practice warning of the siren, to keep the defense system in working order, like a fire drill, Mad e's lip, quiv- ered at the first dound,/bat that was ” She sat bravely in: chi ‘went.on eating her dinner, Managed to answer, though wanly, a reassuring smile. - It cannot be an easy task for a he other night, wlien: there was a; 41 ty: ceremonies. * struc kterror® to her heart?
