Original caption: View inside of Paris store shows a saleslady showing one of our boys lampshade made from a flour bag. This work is supposed to have been all done by hand. For last few weeks Paris shops have been decorating their windows with beautiful souvenirs made by Belgians out of bags that contained the flour sent them by Belgian Relief Committee. These souvenirs are original and many of our boys are buying them to take back home, thus helping the Belgians in their struggle to make a living. Paris, Seine, France.
