Mademoiselle (abbreviated as Mlle or Mlle) may refer to:
The term Mademoiselle is a French familiar title, abbreviated Mlle, traditionally given to an unmarried woman. The equivalent in English is 'Miss'. However, the courtesy title 'Madame' is accorded women where their marital status is unknown.
From 1970, the procedures for the use of the title 'Mademoiselle' were challenged in France, particularly by feminist groups who wanted it banned. A circular from François Fillon, then Prime Minister, dated 21 February 2012, called for the deletion of the word 'Mademoiselle' in all official documents. On 26 December 2012, the Council of State approved the deletion.
Samuel Winfield "Tommy" Thompson (1906–1967) was an American calligrapher, graphic artist and typeface designer. He was born Blue Point, New York. In 1944 he became the first designer to earn royalties for a type design, from Photo Lettering Inc. for his Thompson Quill Script. Previously, designers had worked in house for foundries or had sold the rights to their faces outright. He maintained a studio in Norwalk, Connecticut and was the author of several books on type and lettering.
Thompson designed all of these foundry types:
Tell me where are you going
Sweet mademoiselle
To London or Paris
To the Grand Hotel
Where do you go at the end of the day
Where do you go when you spend time away
To islands in the tropic sands
Or pleasure trips to distant lands
You're searching for a dream
Well maybe it's me
I tell you hello
And what do you say
As I stop you go
there's no reason to stay
It all began so harmlessly
You gave me love so easily
I never realized you were just spending time
Tell me where are you going
Sweet mademoiselle
To London or Paris
To the Grand Hotel
Even though you're far away
I think about you every day
And wonder if you're thinking of me
In a fond memory
Sweet mademoiselle
Tell me where are you going
Sweet mademoiselle
To London or Paris
Ou Montréal
