The average American woman who never has traveled in Europe, or only as a flitting tourist, is firm in the belief that all Frenchwomen are permanently occupied with fashions or intrigue. American women were not in the least astonished at the daily accounts which reached them through the medium of press and magazine of the magnificent war services of the British women.
But but Mere Bideau had been very much surprised to hear "Monsieur" was going to be married and to an Englishwoman, too! She, Mere Bideau, had always supposed he preferred Frenchwomen; in fact, he had told her so time and again. But bah! again; what won't a pretty face do with a man? So Mere Bideau had exclaimed 'twixt smile and sigh.
This may go on for years or it may come to an abrupt end; but, like all the Frenchwomen to whom I talked, and who when they plunged into work expected a short war, she is determined to do her part as long as the soldiers do theirs, even if the war marches with the term of her natural life.
There is a small house with a little chapel attached to it in a road in Chelsea where some Frenchwomen, who were exiled from their own country, have come to dwell. It is built on Sir Thomas More's garden, and it possesses within its boundaries the mulberry tree under which the chancellor was sitting when they came to fetch him to the Tower.
Feminism, whether approved by the great mass of Frenchwomen or not, has done its insidious work. And for many years now there has been the omnipresent American woman with her careless independence; and, still more recently, the desperate fight of the English women for liberty.

Ah! how lightly she rested on Calyste's arm! Together they left Les Touches by the garden-gate which opens on the dunes.

You think? 'In some ways, Henry agreed. 'You like Frenchwomen more than those cold Englishwomen who have no chic? 'When I'm in Paris I do, said Henry. 'Ah! Comme tous les Anglais!
Up a long narrow street are lines of open-air stalls covered with masses of fruit and vegetables. The natty little Frenchwomen who sell them almost all wear blue aprons and black dresses, and have little three-cornered shawls over their shoulders. Look at that bunch of celery there, it is monstrous the size of a child!
Vernon, it might ripen matters; for I have heard it said by French mothers and our Frenchwomen understand the female heart, sir that a girl having no other affection is often prepossessed at once in favour of a man whom she knows beforehand is prepared to woo and to win her, whereas without that knowledge he would have seemed but an ordinary acquaintance."
"Isn't it a lovely place?" asked the child beside me, with a deep sigh of longing. "Yes," I said; "I should like to go." I had had time to make all these observations before the owner of the foreign voice, which I had heard at the door, came in. At the first glance I knew her to be a Frenchwoman, with the peculiar yellow tone in her skin which seems inevitable in middle-aged Frenchwomen.
