MAM'SEILE IS QUITE AMERICAN, THANK YOU Five French Girls at Bryn Mawr . Go In for Sports and Have Serious Ambitions By M'LISS The Insouciant uso or tho fan, the co quetllsh technique of tho lowered lash, the art of flashing repartee, these are tho ac complishments we havo been wont to think of In connection with the finishing touches of the education of our gay little Allied sis ter, the Frenchwoman. Bryn Mawr College has five separate and distinct contradictions to thjs opinion They are Madcmolsello Mario Schoell, Mademoi selle Madeline Pourcsay, Mademoiselle Ju liet Fade, Mademoiselle Madeline Fubln and Mademoiselle Chalufour. Three weeks ago they arrived here on their first visit to America In America, where tho young ladles, strangely, are per mitted to leao their homes and go and live In a big college, Just like men, for four years or more. It wasn't llko that at the University of Paris or at the University of Bordeaux, at which Institutions of learning menu young women Btudled and were awnrded scholarship's to tho Main Lino col lege. And now the 'liellos" and "thank yoiis". Of the Bryn Mawr enmpus and tennis courts' and hockey fields are augmented by the vivacious mercls" and "mats ouls" of tho foreign visitors, who are not the high heeled, ultrn-attlred mademoiselles of, the popular conception, but Just girls bent on doing the best in their powf r for the good of their country In her direst need. When I called Mndcmolselles Chalufour and Fabln "were In their classes and Made moiselle Pade was upsetting all my notions of tho French girl's preferences by playing hockey. And therefore It was Mademoiselle Pourcsay, with Mademoiselle Schoeil add ing a word, who told me why the quintet had left France in an hour when every ialr of hands can find work to do to come to America to "finish" their education. "It Is so that I shall be able to go back," Mademoiselle Pourcsay said seriously, "and teach English I shall learn In this great college hero and go back nnd tench wher ever tho Government sends mo.

"Tjtere will be much to be done In France when the war Is over and we are through with the Germans." she said crisply, "and so I havo given up my knitting and other war work to use the scholarship that I re ceived after my year's work at the Univer sity of Bordeaux. "France, ah! It Is so different now after three years of this horrible war. To all suffering has come. The universities are stripped of their men young boys only re main. What the Germans have done Is too horrible to contemplate. My grand father left Lorraine after the German con quest. He would not live under tho rule of the Roche, nnd so he came away to Bor deaux, And now the Germans are upon us once more. "Everywhere now there nre refugees who must bo looked after. I have two little hnlf orphans on my hands now. In whom I would like to Interest some kindly disposed persons. Their mother Is working hard In Bordeaux, but she Is III and will not live long. It Is sure. Their father was killed the first year of the war. They nre both little girls ono Is four and the other thirteen, It In not my Intention to nsk any one to adopt them. That Is not wanted, nor Is money wnnted to be sent directly to them, but what I would like Is to have some good American people Interested enough to write to them, keep In touch with their lives nnd perhaps help them to be self supporting when they are older." Her gray eyes shpne with enthusiasm at her project. "And now for America," she said, sup plementing the words with a charming gesturo and shrug. "Wo nre glad America Is In, so glad. In Bordeaux one sees Ameri can soldiers everywhere nnd marines nnd sailors. It was to Bordeaux that the Or leans came, the first American unarmed boat to get by the submarines nfter the Kaiser's ruthless ultimatum.
