Description

Left to right, Barbara Wills, 10, daughter of Doctor and Mrs. E. B. Wills, with her guest, Dixie Montier, 8, native of France.

Barbara sits to Dixie's left on a floral sofa. A newspaper with the headline "French Patriots Seize Paris" sits on their laps. Published Fort Worth Star-Telegram Morning Edition August 27, 1944.
