She proceeded to speak of the joys of travel and gave impressions of a visit to Sweden, a country very often left out of the traveller’s itinerary, she said; but those who did include it were never disappointed; it could be termed a country of superb beauty. Aliss Curtis
related visits to Stockholm and Gothenburg, and other places - of interest, and spoke in regard to facilities for flat dwellers in Sweden, and the advanced idea of community laundries, nurseries and other services. She referred to the beauty of the city, its buildings, of the finest architecture in tho world, .and the surrounding districts, and how great a part the trees played in this direction. Language difficulties and other joys of travel were recounted. The speaker was accorded a vote of thanks. Aliss D. Southey Baker rendered violin solos, her numbers being “On Wings of Song” (Alendelssohn). “Schon Rosmarin” (Kreisler) and “Clair de Lime” (Debussey); and Aliss Lexie AlcDonald sang two solos, “Trees” (Habe) and “Yellow Hammer.” Aliss E.
