Their Homeland

Let me introduce Lilian Wink
ler, prototype of the new French
woman, who is soon become of
age.
Lilian, 21 next September, is
the daughter of Paul Winkler,
owner and operator of the French
newspaper news feature syndi
cate, Opera Mundi, in the days
^ before the war and now column
ist for the Washington Post. The
Winklers, a family of five, escap
ed from France in the exodus that
jammed the toads after the Ger
man invasion, and finally reached
New York, where Lilian was
graduated recently from Barnard
College, Columbia University.
After that she joined the French
Women’s Air Service and is now
at Ft. Meade, with a group of
other French girls, who have en
listed in their country’s service
and are held in transit for) Africa,
where the French women’s mili
tary services have training head
quarters. Soon Lilian will take off
3s the first of the French Filles
de l’Air (daughters of the air) to
leave America for training. When
that is finished she will be off to
help fight the wai* on French soil.

And later she hopes to become
one of an army of French women
whom she believe will take an ac
tive part in re-establishing France
as a sovereign power.
“French women are never go
ing back to the old role they used
i to play,” she said earnestly as she
sat by my desk during a visit to
New York with a group of French
: “WACS” from Ft. Meade. “It just
can’t happen, that’s all. French
women have played a very im
| portant part in the underground,
they have worked under constant
j threat of death and torture. They
j have taken part in conclaves on
| ways and means to keep France
a sovereign nation. And they are
not going back. They are vitally
interested in seeing that there is
not another horror like this.
“The part French women have
played in the war has already
been recognized. Two women —
Mme. Raymond Aubrac and Mme.
Andre Simard — have been ap
pointed to the French provisional
consultative assembly at Algiers.
And the French Committee of
National Liberation has given us
J the right to vote, which we never
had before,”

FUTURE FRENCH WOM
MAN: Lilian Winkler forsees a
new role for her countrywomen.
her trim khaki-colored worsted
uniform, the tri-color of France
blooming on her sleeve, she made
a striking contrast to the aloof,
chic, perfumed Parisian of the
30’s, whose mind and heart were
so often busy with her own af
fairs. Mme. Winkler’s blue eyes
Hashed with zeal as she talked,
her vpi.ce.pulsed with earnestness.
;Occa$ipn^lly the magnitude of the
job which lies ahead of French

her.

And behind her one can almost
hear the tramp of steadily march
ing feet.
HERB INTERESTS
Try thyme with snap beans,
peas or carrots or in vegetables
soups. Marjoram is good with
peas or carrots too. Sage lends
an interesting flavor to soups,
salad dressings and scalloped
dishes. To pep up salad dressings
try a pinch of dill. Get acquainted
\vi*h herbs!
FISH FEATS
To pre-cook fish for fish cakes,
or casserole dishes, try steaming
it on a rack instead of boiling. By
steaming, the fish will retain
more of the vitamins and miner
als. A piece of cheese cloth plac
ed under the fish will make it

Compact refrigerator dishes
and coverings for foods are con
venient and space saving. These
need not be expensive but suit
able to keep leftovers in the best
condition. Do not put small dabs
of foods in largesized dishes. Left
over carefully stored are fine
Victory aids. Heavy waxed papers
can be tied over bowls if regular
covers are not available. Covered
glass jars are satisfactory and
take up little space. They can be
easily scalded and aired
