NOTABLE LINGUIST

She is planning to introduce touches iroui her native land into her new home, and when she starts entertaining in the autumn her guests will bo introduced to Swedish delicacies prepared by her Swedish cook. One English dish, however, which is always featured on her menu at Christmas time is 'pium pudding, made from an English rcicipe. This she has prepared in the autumn, according to tike custom of housewives in that country.

iA.I though .she lies never lived in England, Mine. Pryta speaks English fin ntly, having been taught to do so at school. She is an excellent milround linguist, knowing French, German, Italian, .Spanish mud Russian. ■During .her recent visit with the Minister to the Far' East, Mni.e;. Prytz even managed to learn enough .Japanese to' make herself understood when she went shopping. . As, light colour schemes appeal to ■her, the rooms of the Legation are being painted in cream, pale green and yelloAv, and she is having her Swedish furniture sent over. This is in Gustav 111. period, -somewhat resembling Louis XVI. in style, and being in mahogany and lacquered and gilded wood should look well 'against the Adam background of the blouse. When workmen were engaged in altering a 'bathroom in the house they came upon a George 11. coin under the floor. They -also uncovered an Adam fireplace. In her dining room the Swedish: Minister's 'wife is planning to put her English Chippendale furniture. The pale groen scats of the chiairs will be matched by the draperies. As she does not care for (jhc usual net or ninon curtains, she is having the old shutters .which arc built into the sides of tlhe windows re-opened'—they have been painted over—and those will be folded icross at: night. The Swedish Minister and iVis wife hope to lie installed in the Legation by he beginning of October.
