Biggest, km$te i ibiiii Reading Value for your Family meu who make their homes on Uritlxh war vessels than aro to be found amons any similar group of men In the world. This Is especially Hue of the Orand Meet, where tho continual rou tine of I he last three years uilcht have heen expected to develop some degree of depression, hut which, on the con trary, h-.ia brought together a greut community of liealthy, happy, whole some men. It was the privilege of the New York Sun's correspondent to live for several days aboard his majesty's battle cruis er and to enter Into the life und spirit of the men aboard this great nghtiug machine. Host of those who make their home in the wardroom had been stationed abourd the ship for two years, some of them for n much long er period, n ad In the whole lot there was not one case of tho "blues," not one "wet blanket." From the bridge to the stokehold there was nothing hut contentment and vllllngnesa to serve uncomplainingly without the slightest trace of bitterness or regret over racrl Ilces made for the cause. Fleet Makes Thrilling Sight There Is nothing particularly thrill ing about going aboard a battle cruiser In lii" iltil.ne.ss of early evening, but lo invukeu in u comfortably furnished cabin, formerly the quarters of nn ad miral, and to look through the porthole upon long lines of enormous gray ships riding nt anchor upon n harbor glisten ing in the sunlight is sulllclent to give the thrill of a lifetime. Something In the ntinosphera of the northern country where the Cirnnd Fleet has Its home gives health with every breath. On tile surrounding shores of the liurbor the Vikings of old spent their winters and assimilated tho strength that made them the ter ror of their enemies, and on the samo shores almost every day may be seen the ollleers and men of the licet tuklng their exercise. Parties of men In run ning clothes dash from small boats and play at hare and hounds with the same vim as they did in the early days of their youth. "'Others' play golf on n course lulil nut over the peat bogs and enjoy It US' much ns If ihey were driving the ball over the llnest green sward In the kingdom. Among the battleships are the usual comforts of a well-ordered home. Tho wardrooms have grapbophones and billiard tables, and a weekly motion picture show Is given on the decks. Home Talent Gets Opportunity. ' There is even a theater ship sui- plied, which goes about from vessel to vessel. It anchors alongside and the talent of tho vlslled ships produces a creditable performance. The theater ship is culled the Uoiirka, and Its periodic visitations are anticipated fev erishly by the crew of every ship In the Meet. lVihaps the happiest lot of any aboard the ships of the Grand Fleet are the midshipmen. They have all the energy and peutup enthusiasm of boys In preparatory school, ami when they begin to enjoy themselves In their "gunroom" the racket can be heard In every nook and cranny of their ship. They take a stranger into their midst with n straightforwardness that Is touching und they slug their songs In a manner to bring up memories of col lege fniti rally bouses and prep school dormitories. The same eheeilness that pervades the mess halls is to be found In the captain's quarters, where in bright comfort the skipper reads ids books, arranges ids program of u-ork for the men and has his being in peaceful se clusion. There Is sometblng clean and wholesome and desirable about the life of the tlect. and records show that few men wlio have entered Into the work have ever died of melancholia. Care She Had Shown Her Own Exchanged and 8ent Back to France It Comes Her Turn to Suffer, and From Thl Comes Romance Just Culminated. Fanlotte Colly Is married, and her mnrrlngn brings to light the details of her heroic and romantic career of the last three yeai-B as presented by tho foreign news bureau of tho woman's committee of the council of national defense. Until Pnuletto was twenty-two years ojd, she lived in tho vlllnge of Angreze In Dordegne with her two slBlcrs nnd three brothers a happy, contented, wealthy family of farmers, who had lived unmolested on the snmo land for many generations. Nothing more settled, more tranquil than such a life can lie imagined, surely not here In America, where wo can form no realization of the effect of such long habit nnd custom ns Influences every phase of the peasant's life. And Then the War Came. And then when she was twenty-two the war came. Revcnteen days after war broka out she was nt a hospital at Auteull, a volunteer Red Cross mir'.e In a formation of English and Itnl'nn women. All year she continued In tho wear ing but grateful duties of a nurse. Her group had citation for heroism nt Crcuy, Notre name do Lorette, nnd Neuvlllo Snlnt Vanst In 101.1 her ambulance was In the sector of Notro Pame do Lorette. The hnttlo camo close to them, then enclosed thorn. Paillette and Reven of her companions were taken prisoner hy the Oermnns. For 4S hours they were within the en emy lines, and nursed Oermnn wound ed with the snmo care they had shown their own. ForOinntcly they wero ex changed arid sent back to their dear Franco. On their return from being prisoners, thoy wero given the Croix de Oticrrp. Paillette took up her work ngnln at once, nnd In 1010 was nt Verdun. She was also at the tunnel nt the Forest of Corhenux, nnd ninny other places that have become famous In history where the fighting was hot test, nnd consequently the work of the nurses tho hardest. She nursed hun dreds of prisoners with equal care, tenderness and devotion, but one man. Hene Hrlelien, who lost his right arm In the war and who -was nursed by her, became especially dear to hor dur ing his Illness nnd convnlescciice. lis vroH sent out of the hospital with no prospocts and seriously handicapped In providing even for himself by the loss of his arm. Her Turn to 8uffer. I!y this time, as Paillette herself said, very simply: "It came my time to suffer." She succumbed to ty phoid fever, and during her convales cence she had appendicitis. It meant five and n Jialf weary months In a hospital for the active young nurse. Put when the five nnd a halt months were over, nnd Pnulette wos able to be out again, Iteno Itrlchcn hod learn ed to write with his left hnnd, und had secured the position he had formerly had with a bank. 'Jhey have Jutt been married, and it Is absolutely certain Hint they should live happily ever after. They have hnd the complete story-book be ginning to their romance, nnd It Is no more than fair that they should round out tho plot. Under the Camouflage (Continued from Page 1.)
