Mrs. ]. H. Gore, formerly of Stockholm,
gave an interesting account of the history
of Sweden and the life and customs of the
Swedes in Talk on Sweden Saturday
evening at the residence CT Mrs. Webster,
1921 Q street. The audience found the lee
ture so enjoyable that several asked that
1t be repeated, which will doubtless be
done for the benefit of some charitable or
ganization. A strictly national feature was
given by the Dalecariian dress worn by
Mrs. Gore and the Swedish recitation which

another by his pupil. Lancret, Miliet and
a splendid example of Rousseau-a wood

lacquer. jade ivory carvings, old silver in
a multitude of odd and pretty things. On
the great inlafd table. where art books and
paragraphs are piled, is q silver and por-
eelain lamp one of the most superb speci-
mems of the silversmith's art probably in
TITS country. A large part of the north
wall Of the picture gallery is covered by
spanish tapestry. glowing with gorgeous

dainty as Vatican picture. there is a
glass-eoyered table, where there is a SUI

Such a policy would make room In the circula-
