Until Paulette was twenty-five
years old, she lived in the village Of
Angreze In Dordegne with her two
sisters and three brothers, happy,
contented. wealthy family Of farmers
who had lived unmolested on the same
land for many generations. Nothing
more settled, more tranquil than such
life can be imagined, surely not here
In America, where we can form no
realization Of the effect Of such long
habit and custom as influences every
phase Of the peasants life.
And Then the War Came.
And then when she was twenty-five
the war came. Seventeen days after
war broke out she was at hospital
at Auteuil, volunteer Red Cross
nurse in formation of English and
Italian women.
All year she continued in the wear
ing but grateful duties Of nurse.
Her group had citation for heroism at
Creuy. NOtre Dame de Lorette, and
Melville Saint Vast. In 1915 her
ambulance was in the sector Of N0tre
Dame de Lorette. The battle came
close to them, then enclosed them.
Paulette and seven Of her companions
were taken prisoner by the Germans.
For 48 hours they were within the en-
envy lines. and nursed German wound
ed with the same care they had shown
their own. Fortunately they were ex-
changed and sent back to their dear
France: On their return from being
prisoners, they were given the Croix
de Guerre.
Paulette took up her work again ut

places that have become famous In

Originally dogs were used for just
