an illustrated article on the prin-
cipality of LiechtenStein, entitled
"An Alpine Arcadia" Its author
is G.. Bic Ravndal, consul general

Hendersonville since last August.
After spending between thirty
and forty years abroad, in various

fed himself with this city, having,
through the Station Insurance and
Realty company and j. A. Burck-
myer, acquired the Curtis home
place at Fourth avenue and JUS
tice street, which he proposes to
call Happy Landing" an implied
compliment to HendersonvlIle.
Mr.. Ravndal also has joined the
Grace Lutheran church and the

While serving as consul general
in and for Switzerland, having
been transferred to Zurich from
COnstantinople, Mr.. Ravndal en-
tered into close relations with
LiechtenStein and became famll-
lar with its historically fascinat-
ing background. Originally the
principality gained its political IN
dependence against its will, as II
were, being forced by Emperor
i Napoleon |, in 1905, to become Il
free member of the Confedera-
ton of the Rhine. 1t is today the
only former member of the Ger
man Confederation Oslo ooo)
