Parisienne, Club Offer Assistance to American Brides Abroad
By ROSETTE HARGROVE
Newipaptr Enterprise Astn.
PARIS (NEA) "To fur
ther a sense of unity and pur
pose among American women
married to Europeans, living
abroad, with a view to assisting
them to adapt to new condi
tions," a club has been formed.
It is called the "Association
of American Wives of Euro
peans." That quote about assist
ing wives is the first clause in
the club's constitution. The
meaning of those words is well
known to members who are now
"veterans" in living abroad.
For example, take the club's
president, Mme. Raoul Mich
aux (nee Phllis Mitchell, of
Washington, D.C.). She came to
France as a bride 14 years aeo.
When she started life in Paris,
(he ran into all sorts of snags.
She did not speak French and
hc knew little about customs,
wines, cuisine. She was a bahe
in the woods when dealing with
maids and tradesmen.
Not kno ing whether she was
llone in her plicht. or one of
many. Mme. Michaux tried for
years to find out through offi
cial channels. This year, she
decided to run an advertisement
in the Paris edition of the New
York Herald Tribune:
"Wanted: American wom
en married to Frenchmen to
discuss problems common
to the group."
One of the ideas entertained
by the French regarding Amer
ican women is that wherever
four or five of them gather to
gether, they immediately form
a club. And that s what Mme.
Michaux did.
I She received 15 answers to
her ad. Two months later, 40
prospective members attended
the first meeting. By the end
j of the year, nearly 150 women
i may be club members.
j The club's primary aim is to
i help the newcomers avoid the
1 pitfalls that women like Mme.
, Michaux fell into when they
first arrived here. "Any couple
i uniting two nationalities is the
kind of laboratory where the
risk of explosions is great,"
Mme. .Michaux explains
So now Mme. Michaux. a vet
eran, says: "I spend my time
explaining the United States to
the French and the French to
the Americans."
For many of the 60 charter
members, of course, such expla
nation is unnecessary. Thirteen

MME. RAOUL MICHAUX
She knows rrhnt it's like to
be a new bride in a
ttranoe land
were married before World War
II. One, who lived in Paris for
35 years, said:
"When I came to Paris as a
bride, most French people be
lieved the majority of Ameri
cans were millionaires. I did not
even come with a dowry! But I
did speak French and I was
lucky that in no time at all I
was taken into the bosom of my
French family."
Those were the days when
even a modest middle-class
French family could afford at
least one maid. Life was easier
and an American bride usually
stepped into a very comfort
able home.
Since the war, Frenchmen
marry much younger, often on
a shoestring. Many no longer
can afford maids. This is where
the American bride, accustomed
to doing many household
chores, often scores points over
the French girl.
But. of course, the American
newlywcd still has numerous
obstacles to overcome. That's
where the club enters the pic
ture. The new wives find an
nutlet to release frustrations, at
tach of homesickness and lone
liness and other unpleasant
emotions. And they can seek
the advice of older members.
The club stands out as a
bridge of good international
and human relations in marked
contrast to the loosely knit
world of American families of
the diplomatic, military and
business corps.
Those families tend In set up
their "Little America" apart
from, hut on the soil of, France.
They shop at American commis
saries and they seldom meet
any French people save for
their opposite numbers in the
professional business worlds.
And their children go to Ameri
can schools.
Club members generally live
quite differently. Many of them
speak French, enjoy wine with
their meals, smoke French cig
arettes and send their children
to French schools. The children
eat French breakfasts with cafe-au-lait
or chocolate and most
refuse to drink milk with their
meal.
But the American wives of
Europeans have not forgotten to
remind their children of their
American heritage, also. The
children generally are taught to
dress up for Halloween, cele
brate Thanksgiving, play base
ball and speak English without
a French accent.
"We don't want to make typi
cal Americans of them," Mme.
Michaux says, "but we would
like them to appreciate the best
of two worlds."
Mme. Michaux hopes that
similar groups eventually will I
be established in other Euro
pean countries to foster a better
understanding and contribute to
"selling America abroad." Some !
time next summer, she will ar
range for a charier plane to I
take a number of American !
wives hack home. She hopes to
offer a reduced fare for moth
ers and children who otherwise
could not afford to make the
trip.
In the meantime, the mem
bers of the Association of Amer
ican Wives of Europeans arc sit
ting hack, enjoying and learn-.
Ing much about their unique
status on french soil. At 1 re
cent meeting they listened to a
French psychiatrist. His topic:
"Psychology of 1 French hui-
band."
