sent it's types of these conditions in the
restless sea and the eternal mountain
that sleeps for aye.
1t is difficult to say which appeals
the more potently to man, for each
possesses it's majesty, its tragedies and
its inspirations. Man feels the spell
of both, man shudders at both but
while the mountain is impressive as
the sea in its tragedies, it at the same
time has its softer legends which
charm and delight.
Some of the most enchanting of these
legends are to be encountered N
Switzerland. especially in that gem of
the country which lies between Bern
and Zurich.
In olden times the innocent peasan-
try believed the mountains to be in
habited by gnomes, ghouls and witches
and these beliefs have come down to
us in stories of a most delighting
character. To seek for, learn and re-

Beatus was an English traveller who

Peter. whom he heard preaching at
Rome The convert came to Switzer-
land to help spread the new cult and
was 80 charmed with the beauty of
Lake Thun that there he made his
home, living as hermit in a cave The
cavern was at first occupied by a
dragon, which must have been Satan,
but the saint by the sign of the cross
finally compelled the monster to ex-
plode and vanish in smoke. But Sa-

the big glaciers which came down from

These mammoth stones became engaged

of smaller proportions. An artificial gla-

Just beyond Lucerne lies the exquisite
Lake of Zug. This lake is tile home of

to still be full of the relics of these
strange people. The locality is famous
for the terrific landslides which have de-

Mrs. John van Worst Latest
Lioness OF London Societv

London, November -(SpeciaL)-To be
the most talked about woman in Paris to-
day is a distinction that has befallen tha
authoress. Mrs. John van Worst of New
York.
1t is not alone the fact that Mrs van
Worst has won the James Hazen HYDE
prize for the best book written in France
during the year 1918, but her literary work
in general places her at the head of
American women writer's in this country.
The writer called upon Mrs. van Worst
at her home in the old aristocratic quarter
of Faubourg st. German.
A description of her is hard to give. for
she has one of those changing, expressive
faces that makes one wonder after leav-
ing her If her eyes are black or blue or
her hair light or dark one only retains
the memory of a charm that fascinates
and beauty that eludes set phrases
In speaking of her book, La Poursuite
Du Bonheur Aux Etats- unis' ('The Pur-
suit of Happiness in the United States''),
Mrs. van Worst said:
Il have avoided giving a dry treatise in
my writing on America. | believe that
profound truths and well digested OBJ
servation are better dressed in the form
of not too weighty reading. At least it is
this style of writing that reaches the ma
jority of people. 1t is a theory that l
apply to all my literary work.
DO you see that tapestry screen before
the fireplace? l made that. / believe l
am more proud of 1t than | am of my
writings. The design is taken from a
Puvis de Chavannes that is in the private
collection of a friend"
This screen was much admired and COM
mented upon in last years salon and is
indeed a beautiful work of art "Was il
not a Herculean task to reach the heights
in French literature?' I asked, in an eff
fort to get Mrs van Worst back to the
subject of her book.
