Mrs. Walker Fearn. who usually passes
a part Of the season in Washington, Is
now IN Paris. but sails for home next
! Wednesday. The friendship of the queen
/ of Roumania for Mrs. FeaTn. which has
been the subject of frequent mention
abroad, assumes particular interest at
present. and according to a recent New
| York publication. Mrs Fearn has written
to a friend in New York, as follows:
I have lately been associated with
/ the Queen of Roumania I'm the city she
is building for the blind in her own coun-
try. Ii has been a most interesting and
instructive experience. The great priu-
ciple on which she has built this city IS
that the blind and those with sight should
live together, preserving the family .ife,
/ each family having its own separate
/ house In the lectures that I am 10 give
l viii tell much that will be interesting
about the Queens wonderful work and
/ the details of her city. 1t would be inn
/ possible to repeat exactly in our country
what she has done in ROumanta. as the
/ conditions are so very different My work
| IN the beginning will be on different lines
shall probably go at first where very
little has been done for the blind. After
visiting them myself and obtaining all
/ information I can III regard 10 their con
/ dition and needs, I will then be prepared
/ to 20 before the public 10 plead for them
| IN my lectures. At the same time l have
views of the Queens life. and much 20
show that should be attractive. With
the proceeds from my lectures ] hope 10
start fund necessary for the work In the
city where / may be. After I have ac-
compIished all the good that IS within
my power there. / shall go and do the
same elsewhere. shall always be willing
70 give a lecture TO aid any institution
or asylum for the blind Ny mission is a
mission Of love from the Queen 10 the
Z blind themselves. I shall go TO many
places 10 deliver her words OF encourage
ment to them. 1t is owing to the Queens
influence and help that I have undertaken
this work"
