Yanks Like French Souvenirs.

Yankee soldiers are keeping the French shops busy these days. Souvenirs of France and various regions and cities of France are all the go. Among these souvenirs are brooches bearing the arms of different cities. The head of the famous Lion of Belfort. the statue of Bartholdi, the sculptor who designed the goddess of Liberty, is another favorite. The Lorraine cross has also proved very popular with the Yanks. This symbol has two sets of cross arms Instead of one. It appeals particularly to the Americans because of the part which the Ygnks played in Lorraine -during the ’War. The Red Cross dog and the lucky white elephant charm are other French souvenir which the Amertcans are procuring in large numbers to take back to the States.—From The Spiker, France.
