Pares to the fair 



Among the many occupations which the women of France are pursuing, in order that 

 men may be released for service in the army, are those connected with the street railway 

 systems of Paris and other cities. Motorwomen, girl conductors, ticket sellers, and ticket 

 takers are now the rule rather than the exception. Here a young girl is seen wearing the 

 uniform cap of a surface-car conductor. From her shoulders hangs the big leather bag in 

 which she deposits the passengers' sous and centimes.
