A French CJIrl’» I’ retllcjnnent.
A comical contretemps has just taken
place in one of tlie provincial towns of
France. < )vrr twenty years ago the w ife
of a prominent citizen gave birth to a
little girl who was christened Camille,
and whose birth, according to French
law, was duly registered at the mayor’s
office. But as Camille is a name that is
given to boys as well as to girls in
France, the mayor made a mistake in
entering the registration, and set down
tho infant as Isiing a boy. Tim e passi’d
on anil tho other day Mile. Camille—
who was on tho point o f lieing married
—received a notice to report “ himself”
for m ilitary service. O wing to the over
whelming red tajiei»iii o f French official
matters, the |smr girl has had all the
tronido in the world to prove that she is
roally a young woman anil uot a man at
all. Moral: Mothers in France should
never Ix-stow upon their danghters
