Women the World Over

HOUSING CONDITIONS Mrs. Daphne Engl recently left San Francisco en route to Europe, where she will make a study of housing conditions for American girl students in London, Paris and Berlin, and also of residential quarters for girl musicians in Italy. She is a prominent member of the San Francisco branch of the American Soroptimist Club. ITALY IN LONDON An Italian by birth, Mrs. Stephen Courtauld, a London hostess, has continued to bring the atmosphere of her native country into her home at Grosvenor Square. At the back of the house she has a real Italian garden with a floor of green mosaic and a square, shallow pool with a small cypress tree at each corner. A cov-ered-in pathway leads from the house round two sides of the garden to an Italian room, In which old paintings, statues and pottery distil a genuine atmosphere of Italy. AFTER FIFTY YEARS After 50 years devoted to mission work in India, Miss Ellen Arnold has returned to Australia. For the past 16 years she has been the only white woman in a remote district where she has carried out the duties of administrator, adjudicator, medico and general factotum. She has also assisted in opening up new mission stations in East Bengal.
