mademoiselle

use only for a Frenchwoman who calls herself "mademoiselle." In France, "mademoiselle" is generally reserved for women in their teens or early to mid-twenties while "madame" is used for older women – in both cases irrespective of their marital status. This is also the case with "frau" and "fräulein," and it used to be true of "Miss" and "Mrs." See also Miss, Mrs., Ms.
