SHOPPERS ARE URGED
TO CARRY PACKAGES
Merchants, Secretary Says Taking
of Small Bundles Works to Ad-
vantage of Customer.

Considerable advantage accrues to
the Christmas shopper who develops
the habit of carrying small packages
home from the stores rather than hav-
ing them delivered, according to Ed
ward D. Shaw, secretary of the Mer-
chants and Manufacturers Association.
Merchants of Washington are con-
tinually advocating the "carry-your-
small-packages- -with-you" idea, Shaw
said, to decrease the number Of mis-
takes and disappointments attendant to
the annual Christmas rush business.
Small packages which can be mis-
placed and easily lost are responsible
for most of the Christmas day disap-
pointments," Mr.. Shaw said. During
the Christmas season, and particularly
during Christmas week, retail stores
face the most difficult operation period
of the whole year. The overload on
delivery departments is tremendous.
Even with the most careful manage
ment, and the most extensive prelimi-
nary planning, mistakes are liable to
occur.
Men who direct the deliveries of our
stores report that bulky packages and
parcels are comparatively easy to
handle. Most OF the grief develops
In trying to keep track OF the little
ones. AS a result, the 'toting' of small
bundles by shoppers during the Christ
mas rush has become popular, and al
most universal"

TROM the land of the Vikings, an
l. other fair-haired daughter has
come to Washington to add her
Il charm and her talent to the
feminine contingent of the dip
lomatic corps.
Countess Maud Won Rosen, the young
and attractive wife of the newly ap-
pointed military attache of the Swed-
ish legation, Count Gustaf Olaf Won
Rosen, brings a gifted personality to
the Capital, having for several years
gained noteworthy recognition in her
own country, France and England, as a
sculptress of unusual merit.
The countess has brought to the
United States number Of pieces OF
her work executed in bronze, silver and
terra Gotta, which will be exhibited for
the first time in New York, shortly
after Christmas.
Specializing in animal figures, the
countess has also drawn from the leg
ends of her Northland country, fantas-
tic figures recalling the days when Odin
ruled the universe, and tiny trolls and
elfmen lived in the forests of Sweden.
Endowed naturally with an impress
sionable and imaginative nature, the
countess as child grew up in an at
mosphere conducive to encouraging an
early love of animals and an expression
of her love through the medium of art.
Charmingly youthful In a sports
model sweater frock, Countess Won Rosen
smilingly recalled the days, when as a
little girl Of Z, she sprawled length
wise on the floor of her mothers draw
Ing room at the family home in the
south of Sweden and modelled little
figures OF her pet dogs and horses.
An artist friend visiting my parents
left me some clay" she said. After
that ruined every carpet in the house
making models of different animals. l
always loved animals, which were my
dearest companions. We had many
shores Of Lake Lgaren, and I frequently
caught wild birds and tanned them,
after which would model them.
had q great many seagulls for pets, as
they were easily tanned and became as
friendly as dogs"
After childhood spent among ami
NAL pets. her imagination fed upon the
fantastic legends of Scandinavia, Coun-
tess Won Rosen early realized her calling
as a sculptress.
AT II / went to Stockholm" she
continued, ''and as wanted to special
ize in animal figures, decided to study
at veterinary hospital. The year I
spent at the hospital studying the
anatomy Of animals has been the most
valuable training have had"
Later, the countess attended the
Academy Of Fine Arts In the Swedish
capital. The young artist had little
time to continue her work after COM
pleting her studies, as she was married
shortly afterward to her cousin, Count
0ustaf Olaf Won Rosen. and for several
years was occupied with domestic duties
and the care OF her small daughters.
(. Looking at Countess Won Rosen's
girlish oval face, framed In mass OF
bobbed fair hair, one would hardly be-
heye she is the mother OF three little
daughters, Agnes, Maud and Nancy.
Il had given up all thought Of mod
cling the countess explained, when
Mrs. Harrison urged me to take 1t up
again"

Countess Won Rosen, now the guest
Of Mrs. Leland Harrison, at 110l Six

the Harrisons when Mr.. Harrison was

years ago, when she resumed her sculp-
toring. her first work WAS group of
dancing figures for her American friend.
Il have worked continuously since
then" she added. II expect to carry
on my work in Washington and to COM
plete several figures which ] have
planned for some time"
The attaches wife has entertained for
several years the idea of recording her
country's legends and mythical figures

tains In the gardens and parks Of Swe-
den
Portraits OF famous European race
horses also have been executed by the
sculptreSs, the most recent being the
French champion Brulette, winner Of

event
Many symbolic figures for automobile
radiator caps have been modelled by
Countess Won Rosen for prominent mo-
torists Of Sweden, among whom Is num-
bered Prince Gustav Olaf, grandson of
SWedens King, and Oldest son Of the
heir apparent.
From a group of photographs on
table, Countess Won Rosen took one
depicting steed in full flight, drag
g1ng queer little troll, clinging te-
naciously to the animals tail.
L took my idea for mascot for
the princes car" the countess ex-
planned, from famous Swedish leg
end. Tradition relates that one of
Swedens princes was riding forth to
claim his princess bride. when his horse
baked at entering forest. The prince
forced him on, when an ugly little troll
sprang from the earth and tried to pull
the horse back by his tail, whereupon
the horse sprang into the air and, with
the prince ON his back and the troll
clinging to his tail, few through the
