Paul Pivart is the sturdy little mascot for Company "E" of the 166th infantry. He was wearing a suit made of a piece of old tent cloth brought home by his father on his last "permission" in 1916. After that the father disappeared and no news of him has ever reached his family. His big silver watch which still "marches well" is the little son's most treasured possession. He wore it beacuse his picture was to be taken for his "god-fathers." Paul lives at Caen in the Place de la Reine Mathilde, and goes to Vacation School. It costs 6 francs a month, which is paid by his American God-fathers of the Ohio Rainbow Reveille.

Roger Perrier wants to be a designer. He draws automobiles, Red Cross men wearing campaign hats, and riding bicycles, Baldwin locomotives, trolly cars and American war ships with the Stars and Stripes at both bow and stern. The strong American tone in his designs is accounted for by the fact that the Enlisted Men of Battery "A" of the ... Field Artillery have made him their mascot and he is enormously proud of it. His designing, however, occupies only his leisure hours. Most of the time when he is not in school, he helps his mother make rain coats of horizon blue for the French Poilus.

Marie Rouget who lives in Cain, has lost her father in the war but she has just acquired a whole Company of the Telegraph Battalion for a godfather. Company "D" decided that it must have a "feminine mascot". Marie wrote them early in August that her "brother Paul once saw some Americans and he waved his hand to them, but as for me, I never saw any as I go out only for school. I like better helping mother with household work: dusting, sweeping, peeling potatoes, or sewing for my doll." Company "D" certainly got the kind of mascot it wanted, especially as Marie is as pretty as she is feminine.

Renee Grouyer, "the adopted daughter of the Intelligence Section of the Army Field Clerks, can't play ball very well, but she is one of the best little mascots in France. A testimonial to her abilities may be obtained easily from any member of her godfathers' section. She has big blues and dimples and is as brown as a hazelnut because she plays out of doors all day long. She is a refugee child from the Meurthe et Moselle and lives now, with 300 other little refugee children at the Caserne du Chateau in Caen.
