mademoiselle

This clue could be a double definition.

'miss' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'speaking french?' is the second definition.

(Other definitions for mademoiselle that I've seen before include "Paris girl" , "French girl; governess" , "Foreign woman" , "French miss" , "Young lady" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
