MISSION OF LOVE
BONDS OF FRIENDSHIP ' FRENCH WOMAN IN BRITAIN In the effort to strengthen the bonds of friendship between the people of France and Britain, a young Frenchwoman, Miss Lilian Day, is making an amazing crusade throughout the latter country. She is out to make 80,000,000 people love one another. Miss Day speaks to everyone, bus drivers and conductors, taximen, workmen in the streets, women shoppers, housewives, and children. She talks to them all. "My mission is to create a better understanding between the two countries," Miss Day said lately. Her dark eyes gleamed with enthusiasm as she spoke. "For three years I have lived in England," she said, "and I like the 'country and its people. I also know and love France and the French people, but the two people neither know nor understand each other. That is what I am out to remedy. I speak to everyone I meet. The men usually say, 'Oh, you are French.' That gives me the opening I want, and I tell them what the real French people are like. It is terrible that such close neighbours should know so i little of each other."
