GIRL PEDLARS IN FRANCE.
There is in. France at the present time a number of girls from an American college who are performing relief work of a unique kind. They have taken upon themselves the functions of pedlars, ragpickers, and hucksters in the villages over which the baffle wave has ebbed. Every girl is trained in social service, and i&ety travel about with stocks of tinware, pots, pans, clothing, and farm implements. The "pedlars" also sell milk, chickens, rabbits, and goats. Another service they are trying to render, to reduce costs and foster trade, is the opening up of a chain of grocery stores. The "pedlars" have done a good service towards re-creating the conditions of village life in the devastated land.
