WILBERFORCE—The A. M. E. Church electoral college, for the Springfield, Columbus and Cincinnati districts of the Ohio Conference, to elect six lay delegates to the general conference, May, 1936, in New York City, met at Trinity A. M. E. church, Springfield, May 21 and elected the following: W. S. Rogers of Xenia; George H. Valentine of Wilberforce; Ray Davis and N. B. Allen of Columbus; Mrs. M. L. Henderson of Frankfort, and Dr. C. F. Keller of Springfield.
CINCINNATI—One of the features of the Elks' annual state convention here will be their annual High School pupils oratorical contest which will be held, June 8, directed by Chairman Geo. W. Thompson of Akron. The winner will compete in the regional contest, in July, and if successful will be given a scholarship in a college of his own choice and the right to participate in the national contest, held at the nation's capital, in August. Dr. R. E. Beamon is local chairman of the educational committee of Alpha lodge.
YOUNGSTOWN—Rev. John Irvin, P. E., preached at Oak Hill A. M. E. church, morning and evening, Sunday. He administered sacrament in the morning and held third quarterly conference, Monday evening. He also preached at St. Paul's church, administered sacrament and held quarterly conference. —The "Mum" club's annual picnic, on the country estate of Mrs. Herman B. Miller. She has promised to take the club thru her beautiful flower-garden. —Daniel Cleggett is much improved. —The Allen Star and Mary Lee Missionary society banquet, May 31, proved an enjoyable affair.

SPRINGFIELD. — The Center
Street Branch "Y" held its annual
May festival in Memorial Hall. The
program for Wednesday evening
included two one-act plays presented
by young folk of Spring Street
Branch "Y", Columbus. The community
chair directed by Victor
Johnson and the choral staff
were directed by Cha S. Wallace,
were also on the program. A warskit by Wilberforce University
students, with Paul Smith's orchestra,
was also a feature of the festival.
Last evening, a barn-dance was given
at Masonic Hall and a program rendered
at Wiley M. E, church by
Clark Branch "Y"; Mrs. Hugh Taylor,
chairman.—Quite a number of our
young folk spent Sunday in Cincinnati
and Toledo.
Doings of the Race
Mexican authorities have just issued an order removing all restrictions against our people entering Mexico either as students or as tourists.
Congressman Arthur W. Mitchell ought to have been the last man in the U. S. House of Representatives to introduce a resolution to investigate Howard University, a race institution.
Nine Chicago policemen have been sued for $10,000 damages on a charge of being responsible for the death of Jas. Troutman, who died in Joilel prison, June 29. 21 from any received prior to his commitment. A similar suit has been filed against other Chicago policemen by Daniel and Ruby Watkins for entering their apartment and attacking them. Mrs. Watkins is probably injured for life as a result of the beating administered.
HEAR! HEAR!!
The
ROUNDER
ON WHAT'S DOING
Councilman Hubbard is being held responsible for Chas. S. Taylor's loss of a position with the board of elections. Add this to Hubbard's Bryant gasoline station trouble. Future Outlook League members, who are so glibly criticizing "The Old Cleveland colored residents," are making a foolish mistake and are not promoting the harmony among our people that is so essential to the success of any effort in their behalf.
Assistant City Law Director Charley White's salary has been raised to $3,240 and Assistant Police Prosecutor Perry Jackson's, to $2,100. The pay of their associates in the departments were also raised. Mr. Marc Grossman, head of the CCRA, should give the jobs their wives hold as "workers" in that department to some of our people out of employment and "on relief," don't you think? Go to him at once and ask for the job. It pays well.
A few days ago, Dr. J. K. Nickens, of this city, who for many years traveled and lectured throughout the country, said to The Rounder "in stead of knocking the other race for not employing more of our people, we should go into business, create jobs, SUPPORT OUR BUSINESS ENTERPRISES! Something we don't do. There are 75,000 of our people in Cleveland, four persons to the family, we have 7,500 families who have worked week for groceries sets of all kinds. This amounts to $210,000 a week, or $10,922,000 a year. Estimated profits, one-fifth which amounts to $218,400 in one year. That would give us plenty of jobs." Think it over.
The "nigger" play, "Marsland" given, recently, at the Karamun theater by The Gilpin Players, under the direction of the Russell W. Jelffies, was not the financial success anticipated, it seems. This doubtless explains the fact that the St. Louis Woman and another of the stars was given this week, at the theater. Very few of our people attend these plays because they please most the prejudiced class of poor white people who attend them. The Players of the theater are a part of the Neighborhood Association, supposedly a character building organizational Fund has been subsidizing. This should be stopped if indeed it has not already been done.
In his talk Sunday morning at St. James A. M. E. church, Bishop R. C. Ransom sad, speaking of the pastor of the church: "Rev. Walker is one of the most outstanding ministers of the country". The Rounder would like to ask the bishop what does that amount to, if Walker's pastorate is injuring the church and his fight on behalf of the church, by an enterprise which members of the race are trying to make a success for the main purpose of supporting a family of four persons? This fact makes loyal members of St. James church, and others of our residents of the city, seriously question the bishop's statement that "Walker is one of the most outstanding ministers of the country". Many only for the good and welfare of the church but also our people of this community, that Walker be sent elsewhere by the bishop just as soon as possible.

ABYSSINIA BEING "FRAMED"!
So Il Duce Can Make Some More "Protests", Claiming Ethiopian Raids Are Being Made On His Troops Adjacent to the Abssynian Border.
Augusto Rosso, the Italian ambassador to this country, who is visiting in Cleveland, isn't ready, it seems, to say what the outcome of the Italian-Abyssinian trouble will be.
"Here," said he, Monday, "we have a continent—Africa—bordering on overpopulated Europe — a large country still closed, its doors almost hermetically sealed, to any activity of the white man.
"From a philosophical and historical point of view, it is inevitable that Abyssinia must sooner or later open its doors to the activities of European countries. That is the
Emperor Haile Selassie.
course of history, of progress, for if continents had remained closed in the past, there would be no America, there would be no Australia, there would be small progress as we know it.
"For many years Italy has tried to persuade Abyssinia to give us the possibilities of opening this pacific work, but we have always met a stubborn resistance. The Abyssinians are a very proud, very warlike living still in a kind of feal form of government, so that when we were dealing with the central government in Addis Ababa, we were not dealing with the country as a whole, for the war lords are scattered all over the country."
Home—Italy has "worked up" another (old) grievance against Ethiopia—an official charge that natives attacked Italian native troops on the Erlitrean border, last week Friday, killing 30 and a dislaborated 100. The Italian forces been stationed in the vicinity of Dancall to protect natives dwelling in the area. The Ethiopians are said to have stolen several thousand head of cattle before withdrawing from the frontier. The "official statement" also charged that 30 undetermined losses after an attempt to invade the Italian military zone near Bubel, in Italian Somaliland. Official circles said the incidents (framed) did not necessarily mean that the war machine Italy has assembled in East Africa would be sent to the region. The French and Selassie's tribesmen. Of course not. It was explained that the government would first demand satisfaction through diplomatic channels. The latest developments in the situation arose as the Italian press was charging Great Britain with aiding Ethiopia. The authoritative Giornale of the Italian press not only lending the emperor moral encouragement but also furnishing him arms. Germany and France are doing the same thing.
"FATHER DIVINE."
"Father Divine," said an interviewer of this modern god, "tells you frankly that he has no age." "I have always been here on earth," he declares simply. "And always will be until the end of the earth." "Does that mean you will never die?" "That is exactly what I mean," said Mary. "I will be right in a Matter is indestructible." The public never knew he was here until several years ago, when he gathered into his fold a few black and white "faithful Marys" and they began to spread the glad tidings and great joy of a new found savior. Dowie, the world renowned god of 30 years ago who "would never die" was succeeded in the Holy City near Chilcotin colony where he remains with the world forever—W. P. Dabney, Editor, "The Cincinnati Union," writing his paper from N. Y. City.

OF AN ECONOMIC NATURE
LED BY ATTY. JOHN P. DAVIS ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE SAME ARE BEING PERFECTED.
Preliminary Meeting of 250 Persons From Various Sections of the Country—The "New Deal" as It Applies to Our Workers.
Washington, D. C.—A week or so ago some 250 people coming from eighteen states and the District of Columbia spent three days in a candid survey of our position in the National economic crisis. They represented some fifty or sixty interracial organizations. They were professionals, churchmen, workers, teachers, farmers, students, social workers, and others. I will list all the conference the entire picture of what the "New Deal" has meant to the Negro was given. Such facts as these came to the foreground: That unemployment among our male industrial workers is 20 per cent higher than general unemployment. That four million are on relief rolls, or twice as many as there were about eighteen months ago. That relief given our families, as shown in 18 states, is all I know. Our states, is admitted by the government to be from two to ten dollars a month less than relief given families there of the same size. That the government excludes 15 out of every 23 of our citizens. That NRA meant nothing to our industrial workers and AAA had doomed our share croppers and tenant farmers to starvation. Facts like these were given both the estimate of the economy and the estimate of the economy work of the "New Deal" and by workers and farmers who had experienced effects of the "New Deal" in their daily lives. The conclusions from each side were much the same. Thus economists found that the steady rise in living costs nullified the theoretical wage increases. And a southern Negro worker pointed to the same thing in the same way: the increase in the price of fattack and a seven cent increase for cormal wipes out any wage increase NRA ever gave.
Labor experts pointed to the "jim-crow" policies of leaders of the American Federation of Labor, which prevented our and white workers from effectively organizing together. A Negro steel worker, elected to the Democratic Party, voted of his white fellow workers, vividly portrayed how the upper-crust officials of the international read him out of the union. Farm experts brought cold logic and colder fact to bear on the government's efforts to end the drought that had failed to aid the 36 per cent of the southern Negro population which makes its living on the farm. Sharecroppers themselves gave even more
Clearing to Begin Soon--That See tion "For Negroes". So Washington Announced, Several Months Ago.
Work of razing 250 buildings on the site of the Outwasha housing project will begin next week. Officials of the Harris Wrecking Co. of Chicago reported to offices of the housing division of the public works administration here that they had been awarded the demolition contract and were ready to begin work before the end of the week. The company will employ about 150 workers, whether Chicagoans or Clevelanders is yet to be determined. The Outwasha project, costing $3,000,000, will be constructed between Scovill and Woodland AVE. The buildings will be two or three stories in height and will contain 39 two-room apartments, 244 three-room apartments, 284 four-room apartments and 68 five-room apartments. They will cover only 23 per cent of the land. Playgrounds and recreation centers will be provided. Final drawings and designs for the new buildings are to be completed by June 20.
Meanwhile, awarding of the contract for constructing the slum clearance buildings on the Cedar-Central project which is to be built in the district, is being awaited. The site has been cleaned for many weeks.
New York City. — Negotiations have been virtually completed for a "million dollar fight" between Maxie Baer and Joe Louis in September, if they win their respective bouts before then, Promoter Mike Jacobs of the Twentieth Century club announced, Saturday. "We've been working on that bout for weeks," he said, "and now we've got it practically wrapped up. If Baer and Louis meet in September, they will draw more than $1,000,000." The bout would be staged at Yankee Stadium or the Polo Grounds.

striking testimony of how they had been robbed of their cotton checks and mobbed when they attempted to prevent themselves from being evicted. At the end of three days of such stark facts there was practically unanimous agreement that something ought to be done. Of course, there was no agreement to impose the remedy. But there was unanimity as to the need for a remedy. I had already proposed to a number of outstanding individuals the need for a National Congress. There was keen interest in this suggestion. After the conference had ended many of the delegates remained in the city to attend a short meeting to discuss a personal suit. Support for it came from many students and churchmen, from trade union officials and social workers.
It was recognized that it must have popular support, must be an honest expression of what the masses of our people really think. It was felt that frank and open discussion, pro and con, must be had. But despite the difficulties to be encountered every person must be made the beginning must be made. And a beginning made. A small temporary committee of interested individuals was created. The purpose of this committee is carefully to prepare a draft proposal for such a Congress to be sent to hundreds of organizations and individuals for their frank criticism and appraisal. It is hoped that out of such discussion will come a common agreement as to what steps the committee will call for the Congress be issued. When such a call is issued it will represent the meeting of minds of thousands of individuals and organizations from all sections of the country. Thus this temporary committee is serving as a clearing house for the views and opinions of all persons sincerely interested in seeing concerted action on a wide national scale for the economic and political reasons. The opinion of every one is welcome and solicited. We want the public throughout the country to answer the vital questions, "Do We Need A National Congress?" and "What Shall Such A Congress Do?" Certainly no sincere person can object to having the widest public discussion on such pertinent questions. On being the committee, then, I invite the readers to participate in their opinions or inquiries to me at 1622 S St., N. W., Washington, D. C. (Attorney) John P. Davis.
OFFICERS ELECTED
For Next Season—Ransom's Address
Closes the Forum for This Season.
Bishop R. C. Ransom, in his address at St. James Forum, last Sunday afternoon, said:
"American Christianity has disherited the Negro socially, economically, industrially and politically. The darker races of the world and the Negro, who is our present concern, are standing between the appeal of Christ and Communism for future allegiance of world control. While Communism will withstand without distinction of race or color, it is far preferable for the race to follow the teachings of Christ rather than those of Karly Marx."
The bishop's address closed the forum's season. At a business session, J. F. Morning was elected president for the 1935-36 season; J. D. Shackelford, first vice-pres.; Raphael Donata, second; Mrs. Wylla Allen, sec.; Mrs. Clara Holt, treas.; John McCormack, Patterson, assist; Ethel Johnson, assistant; Roberts and Rev. David Ormond Walker, ex. directors.

Premier Mussolini is trying hard
“to make a case” against Ethiopia
and, according to our way of think-
ing, is trying to do so as the result
of fake “raids” which he charges,
ever and anon, are made on his na-
tive troops of the Italian colony in
northern Africa adjacent to Ethiopia.
Secretary Walter White of the
NAACP, charges Dr. G. Lake Imes of
‘Tuskegee Ala, Institute with being a
WEN, or “Uncle Tom", a more gen-
erally used reference, and objects to
Imes’ appointment as administrative
assistant to L. C. Marshall, executive
secretary of the National Industrial
Recovery board. If the charge is
true, we certainly join Secretary
White in protesting the Imes ap-
pointment. It fs said that Mr. Imes’
activity in the Montgomery, Ala.,
Southland Mfg. Co. case “evoked
nation wide condemnation of our
press and gublic”. It seems that Dr.
Imes favors lower wages for our
workers ia the South than is paid
others.

HELP BRING THE GIRLS.
Dr. Mary F. Waring of Chicago,
president of our National Associa-
tion of Women, Inc., is appealing for
funds to pay the expenses of a girls
band from Mississippi to Cleveland
for the national annual meet to be
held here. The members of the band
range in age from nine to eighteen
years. A fund of $500 is needed to
do thio, Mrs, Waring writes that
she already has a pledge of $50 and
asks all of our organizations, able
to do so, to contribute—trom $1 up.
She is anxious that the organzation
makes a fine showing in Cleveland
and is right when she says “nothing
helps so much as (good) music”.

THE REAL HARLEM. _
Ever since that riot in Harlem,
several months ago, the outside
world has been learning that that
section of N. Y. City is not by far
what we have heretofore been led
to believe it was. The latest infor-
mation fs to the effect that unem-
ployment there is greater than in
‘other sections of the city, that “the
housing situation is extremely criti-
cal”, and that “the state of obso-
lescence and disrepair is quite xen-
eral in Harlem”. Then, too, “the
rentals are much higher than for
similar living accomodations _ in
other sections of N, Y. City”. This
is a very different situation from the
one we have for many years been
Jed to believe existed in Harlem. The
foregoing and many more facts of
prime interest, were brought out at
‘@ recent hearing of Mayor LaGuar-
dia’s investigating committee. It is
hoped to secure federal funds for a
greatly needed housing project.

‘CONSTITUTIONAL
LIMITATIONS FOR NRA.
The pational atmosphere ts greatly
clarified by the Supreme Court's
opinions that branded as unconstitu-
tional the NRA, the Frazier-Lemke
Farm Mortgage Moratorium Act, and
the President's removal of the late
William E. Humphrey from the Fed-
‘eral Trade Commission. The Court
went straight to the heart of New
Deal reforms when it said.
“extraordinary conditions may
call for extraordinary remedies. But
the argument necessarily stops short
‘of an attempt to justify action which
Mes outside the sphere of constitu-
tional authority. Extraordinary con-
ditions do not create or enlarge con-
stitutional power. The Constitution
sstablished a national government
with powers deemed to be adequate,
as they have proved to be both in
war and peace, but these powers of
the nations! government are limited
by the constitutional grants. ‘Those
who act under these grants are not
at liberty to transcend the imposed
Umits because they believe that more
or different power is necessary.”
‘The Court held that the Congress
and the Administration exceeded
their authority in the cases men-
tioned above, just as they did in the
Railway Retirement Act. ‘The Court
simply told the Congress and the
Administration that they, like previ-
ous Legislative and Executive bodies,
must operate within constitutional
limitations. What the Court said re-
garding the cases that have come
before it applies with equal force, of
course, to such legally unsound pro-
posais as the Wagner Labor Disputes
Bill, the Black 30-Hour Week Bill,
the so-called Social Security Bill, and
to other bills and executive orders
that clearly exceed the constitutional
Mmitations cited by the Court. Con-
gress knows now, or should know,
that these proposals are illegal. One
question must be squarely faced now:
Does Congress and the Administra-
tion intend to accept in full faith the
interpretations of the Constitution
made by the Court created for that
purpose, or will devious new methods
be sought to circumvent Constitu-
tional limitations? If daily news-
papers are quoting the President cor-
rectly, the latter seems to be the case.

LIBERIAN INDEPENDENCE
A proposal to give Liberia, inde-
pendent African republic, to Germany
has been made by the leaders of the
Union of South Africa. The posses-
sion of Liberia with its rich soil, pri-
meval forests, and untapped mineral
Wealth is supposed to pacify Hitler's
desire for colonial expansion. Li-
beria has 2% million people in its
45.000 square miles. It has been a
republic since 1847. In 1925 the
Firestone Tire & Rubber Co. ac-
quired a concession of 1,000,000
acres of land for the raising of rub-
ber, thus obtaining a controlling in-
terest in the affairs of Liberia. The
Proponents of the plan to turn Li-
beria over to Germany, point out
thé tragic and intolerable conditions
now existing in that land under the
control of the Firestone Co. Presi-
dent Barclay of Liberia has recently
“cemented the ties of friendship with
the U. 8." by an agreement with the
Firestone Co. “which undoubtedly
has the backing of our State Depart-
ment,” according to the Pittsburgh
Courier (5-18-35). But the Fire-
stone Co. may not find it convenient.

beria. -

CONSTITUTION SINKING?
“Congress no longer renders even
Up service to the Constitution and
the public at large shows little inter-
est in its future,” said Representative
James M. Beck in a recent address
before the New York City Bar As-
sociation, He predicted that whether
or not the Constitution will survive
the assaults of centralized Federal
power, due to the current depression,
may well be decided in this genera-
tion,
“The great reality,” Mr. Beck de-
clared, “is that we are today a totall-
tarian’ socialistic State and differ in
degree, although not in kind, trom
the governments of Germany and
Italy. It is true that on rare ocea-
sions, the Supreme Court will remind
the ‘Congress and the American
people that a given law is in viola-
tion of the Constitution, but such
occasional decisions are merely the
bubbles that rise to the surface of
the waves. The fact is that our Con-
stitutional form of government is as
the Titanic was when it was struck
by a submerged ice floe. Our Con-
stitution has suffered a like wound,
but would still be kept afloat if the
captain and the crew, by which 1
mean the American people, were will-
ing to defend their Constitution at
all hazards and to make any sacri-
fice necessary for that purpose. Of
that disposition I can see no evi-
dence.”
‘The original objectives visualized
by the framers of the Constitution,
Mr. Beck declared, have been lost
to sight, mainly because of the grow-
ing encroachment of Federal agencies
—legislative, judicial and executive
—upon State and individual freedom.
“Whether the comparison be just
or unjust,” he added, comparing in-
dustrial conditions here with regi-
mentation in Russia, Italy and
Germany, “the result ‘of the NRA
which regulates the factory, and the
AAA, which regulate the farm, is
potential economic slavery. It ‘de-
sttoys not merely the right of the
States in respect to their clearly
feserved powers but the basic trec-
dom of the individual to engage in
lawful occupation.”

of experiment stations that simple
and fairly accurate methods of
analyzing soils have been evolved,
The difficulty has been to measure,
not the total amount of the element

available to the plant in any single
growing season, and to determine
it fairly accurately without quan-
titative measurement,
‘Small samples of soils are treated

shade of blue indicates the pres-

ten pounds per acre; a deeper

acre. These rates are determined
by comparing the color of the solu-

Vadstena Castle on Lake Vattern
Prepared by the National Geographic Society, Washington, D. C.—WNU Service.
SWEDEN is still a land of castles, although the owners of many large estates have felt the esthetic considerations became more decisive. Many of the most beautiful castles in Sweden date from this interesting transition period. From the
effect of world depression and have been forced to curtail sharply their living expenses. Yet "modern housing" has made few inroads, except in the large cities; and the country gentlefolk, as a rule, adhere closely to quaint traditions of homeliness inherited from their ancestors. It is not so easy to know the Swedes well, especially the dwellers in the country, who for the most part stay at home on their property. Foreigners are often led to think that they are stiff and reserved, sometimes a little sulken or even haughty. But this should be interpreted rather as a sign of their northern shyness. They are in reality full of fun and of warm feelings; but when it is a question of showing the latter, their shrinking from impulsive gestures and emotional or grandilquent language is both comic and touching. This is one aspect in which the relationship with the English is most clearly visible.
Certainly the fetters are loosened somewhat when they are in a festive mood and have drunk a little wine. But it is not then that one gets closest to them. To know and value them fully, one must observe them within their own four walls, in their daily life and activities. Only in intimacy, free from alien, disturbing elements, does their charming individuality come to full flowering. Swedish home life is a cult and a culture unlike anything else, the product of centuries of tender polishing and refining. And nowhere has it attained perfect perfection as in the old country houses.
There still were families-which can maintain to some degree their former luxurious standard of living. Some had the good fortune or the prudence not to invest their fortunes in the securities which had later been affected by the crises and the Kreuger crash. Others had all their land leased on old and profitable contracts, so long as the tenants could keep up their payments. But these were comparatively few and privileged exceptions.
Big Landowners Suffer.
If the situation is serious for nearly everyone nowadays, it is often catastrophic for the great landowners and territorial magnates. Not a month passes but some of them have to leave home and property.
And where they stick to their old estates despite all their difficulties, they often do so less for their own sake, but more in order not to abandon their retainers to unemployment. In the case of entitled estates there are of course no bankruptcies and forced sales, but it is not much more pleasant to be placed under the management of banks and creditors.
For Swedish agriculture can no longer pay its way. There is the same conflict between agriculture and industry as in most other countries; and it looks as if the former were getting the worst of it.
A series of relief schemes has been started to try to aid agriculture in Sweden, as elsewhere. But there has been no visible result thus far. An intensive educational campaign has been set on foot; state advisers and controllers have been provided for every branch of forestry and agriculture. There are such things as the milk dues, which are intended to make up the difference in price of the butter which is sold at home and that which is exported at unduly cheap rates. It is hoped by such measures to keep the price of the former somewhat above production costs. Such is also the aim of the new milling laws, according to which no mill may grind foreign grain without mixing with it a high percentage of native grain.
An active agitation is carried on for "buying Swedish" and for burning Swedish wood in the heating apparatus of public institutions to reduce the importation of coal.
Most of the medieval castles in Sweden are situated on heights surrounded by water or in otherwise inaccessible places. Such placement, needless to say, was not due to any considerations for natural beauty, but because it afforded the most advantageous defense. For these strong stone houses had developed direct from the prehistoric fortifications whose foundations are still found here and there. Fortresses Made Into Dwellings.
When Sweden, in the Sixteenth century, could be disturbed, civil war was to gloomy and inhospitable forresses were gradually converted into dwelling houses. As time passed these grew more and more comfortable, and
esthetic considerations became more decisive. Many of the most beautiful castles in Sweden date from this interesting transition period. From the beginning of the Seventeenth century Sweden was a great power, and remained one till Charles XII's unlucky campaigns impoverished the country and put an end to its domination in the Baltic. Among the medieval Swedish castles touching the early Renaissance style, Skarhult, Vittkovskie, and Torup are the most characteristic and best preserved. They are in Skane, and were rebuilt in the Sixteenth century. Vittkovskie and Torup are laid out on a similar plan, with four wings round a courtyard, towers at diagonally opposite corners, stepped gables and firing passages; and both were surrounded for defense purposes by moats, over which drawbridges were lowered in old times.
At Torup these moats have been filled since the Eighteenth century along two of the facades, and replaced by gardens laid out in the old style with sculptures, rose pergolas, and box hedges. But the charmingly weathered brick walls are still reflected in quiet waters, among water illies and proud swans. The courtyard at Torup, with its Gothic cloister and pointed arches, is one of the most remarkable in the country from the standpoint of art and history. A stone tablet is set into the wall over its gateway. Its Latin inscription is dated 1632 and was composed by the owner of the property at that time, Sigvard Grubbe, a scholar and a friend of the king. He calls upon his successors, "whoever they may be," to do all in their power, as he did, to preserve and beautify the ancient building they have inherited.
Baroness Coyet's Estate.
Probably none of them has been better equipped to carry out this infunction than its present owner, Baroness Henriette Coyet. On terms of close friendship with most of the members of the royal family, she loves to surround herself with eminent personalities in various branches of art and science, and she is a comprehending friend to them.
Nobel prize winners and other foreign celebrities are received at Torup when they visit Sweden. The Swedes in general, the people of Skane in particular, have felt themselves secure in the knowledge that no one could represent them more worthily than this lively, highly cultured lady.
Of course, so energetic a person does not content herself merely with social life and the management of her great house. Her keenness for the promotion of local home industry and the preservation of local treasures has benefited the whole province. The same may be said of her experience and taste in all that concerns gardening and the cultivation of flowers. The extensive park of Torup, surrounded by luxurient beech woods, the different beds, with old-fashioned roseries and herb gardens, are favorite goals of specialists and laymen for purposes of study.
In the ancient guardroom, where in old times the garrison of the castle sat by the loopholes and guarded the drawbridge, there now hangs a remarkably fine collection of modern paintings.
Fine Country Houses.
Big country houses lie all along the seacoasts of southern Sweden, and still thicker in Vastergotland, so rich in ancient memorials, south of Lake Vanarn. On the northern side of the lake is Varmiland, whose old family legends and traditions have been made known far outside the boundaries of Sweden by Selma Lagerlof's poetic descriptions.
But most of the great country houses of central Sweden, and the finest, are to be found in the provinces which abut on long Lake Malaren, at whose exit to the sea Stockholm lies.
It was there especially that the primeval people of Svea lived; thence sprang Rurik, who laid the foundations of Russia, and the Vikings who ravaged the Mediterranean coasts; and it was there that Christianity was first introduced into Sweden.
Foundations and a few massive stone houses still survive from this long-vanished time, and in certain cases the same family has lived on the same property for three or four centuries. There are estates, which, for 500, or even 600 years, have been handed down from one generation to another without ever being sold, though these, of course, are rare exceptions.
Many lie far from the towns, so that none of the modern thirst for superficial, exciting pleasures has yet found its way to them; that is why the old Swedish traditions in all classes of society are more firmly rooted there than anywhere else.
THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY. JUNE 8. 1935.
Chic Triple Sheer Print's the Thing
same also effectively used in the yo
THE perfect costume for all-around practical daytime wear has arrived! See it pictured herewith. It's the dress with a jacket that is fashioned of the now-so-stylish triple sheer print. The smartest, the nearest, the most sensible and serviceable, the most attractive and best looking are beffiting words when it comes to describing these jacket outfits.
There is not the slightest doubt about the wisdom of including one of the new ingeniously designed jacketed costumes in one's spring and summer wardrobe. It will prove an ever faithful standby ready for every daytime occasion. In the illustration we are showing three particularly good-looking models. They are types that women can live in from morning to night and always look well groomed.
These brand new jacket styles are in that famous fabric, triple sheer of bemberg, which is expensive in looks but not in cost. The material is pure dye, cool, washable, or dry-cleans perfectly, if you so prefer. Furthermore, it may be pressed with a hot iron without fear of pulling or slipping at the seams. And, oh, joy of joys, it is practically wrinkle proof and resistant to perspiration.
The extremely good-looking jacket suit to the right in the group is the sort that is ready to go places at a moment's notice. White spaghetti cordings and fastenings effectively trim the navy-with-white (other color combinations are available) sheer of bemberg material. Bandings of self-fabric are stitched row-and-row on a net foundation for the sleeves, on the
PLEATED SKIRTS IN
CHIFFON NEW STYLE
The tidal wave that has brought in more width for skirts has also brought in pleats. This type of fuller skirt is available in daytime and evening fashions, although the evening skirt version is being seen more often at present. It is a fashion that may be said to have come out of the emphasis on floating chiffon skirts, for most of the pleated styles so far are done in chiffon.
There is a particular genre in chiffon and pleats that goes with sunburst pleats, entire skirts and bodices also pleated—very Grecian, and reminiscent of the sunburst evening skirts which Mainbocher and Louiseboulanger offered in evening frocks at their openings.
But there are other interpretations of the pleated idea, in front fullness or back fullness, in those concentrated panel godets that are used often for adding width this season.
Coarse Novelty Straws
Take Lead in Milliner
It is the way of hats to be anything and everything but ordinary. One of the new lines—it's impossible to designate any one type as the newest—is the hat with a brim which projects forward. Beret types are draped that way.
Coarse novelty straws, some shiny, some rough, are everywhere, but so, too, are Milans. There are any number of stitched tafeta hats and unusual felts.
The long threatened return of trimming has come. Milliners have followed the lead of the contourier and are trimming with flowers.
Formal Swagger Coat
The formal swagger coat is a pliant newcomer. Done in woolens that vary from black to palest blue, with full sleeves and soft collars, they flare and swing above the most elegant of afternoon dresses.
