UNDATED, March g (Pl - Undercurrents in the British and German sea struggle, French gov ernment uncertainty and diplo- matic maneuvers connected with the Balkans marked the surface calm of Europe on this Easter Eve.
 Following up Mondays Bren- ner Pass conference between Hit fer and Mussolini, from which Germany is reported to expect an extension of the Rome-Berlin aX is to Moscow, an early visit of foreign commissar Molotoff to Berlin is being brueted.
 Mysterious activities during the holiday weekend in Berlin were interpreted by some quarters as indication of preparations being made for Molotoff's arrival.
 Italy meanwhile became the host to the Hungarian premier, Count Pal Teleky whose arrival in Rome for conferences with Mussolini and Italian foreign min ister Ciano was linked with Ger many's desires for economic ex- pansion in southeastern Europe and Italian anxiety to maintain peace there.

Wars come when nations lose
their souls by losing their sense
Of beauty, for beauty is akin to the
infinite Is the belief of Miss Grace
Lincoln Temple, Washington pio-
neer in interior decorating and an
authority on Colonial wall papers.
Tiny, petite Miss Temple, who
makes her home in the Stoneleigh
Court Apartments, is New England
born and bred, but has practiced
interior decorating here for nearly
SO years.
From the beginning her clientele
included many of the Capitals ia
nous hostesses. Among them were
Mrs. James Mcmillan, whose hus-
band, Senator Mcmillan, was one
of Washington's civic benefactors
and author of the plan for restoring
the original L'Enfant ideals for the
city's development. Others included
Mrs. Henry Cabot Lodge, wife of
the first Senator Lodge, and Mrs.
John M. Wilson, whose husband,
Gen. Wilson, was the chief protocol
officer at the White House. A let
| ter from Frances Folsom Cleve-
land in her own handwriting, thanks
Miss Temple for her good Offices in
making the Princeton residence of
former President and Mrs. Cleveland
more attractive and livable"
So feminine and demure is Miss
Temple 1t is difficult to visualize
her as a pioneer careerist, whose
interior decorating amazed her mas
culine contemporaries and compet-
itors and won their respect and ad-
miration.
Won Federal Award.
Now active only in a consultant
capacity, Miss Temple tells of the
thinly veiled horror which greeted
| her appearance when, armed with
credentials from the State Depart
ment, she went from Washington
to start the award she won in
competition for decorating the in
terror of the United States Govern
ment building at the louisiana
Purchase Exposition.
As the chief executive of the
exposition scanned her scarcely
more than 5 feet of slender height
he said: III be disgraced if this
job is a failure"
To this Miss Temple replied: mot
half as much as I will, sir"
The winning of the West. Miss
Temple feels, was child's play in
comparison with the way by which
she had to advance toward COM
manding the respect of the crews
of workmen whom she had to boss"
as they set up the series Of shields
of the United States which were a
part of her decorative motif.
However" she relates, they were
perfectly marvellous in their atti-
tude toward me, as soon as they
began to see the details progressing
toward a unified whole" News
paper stories of the times had such
headlines as Tiny Artist Bosses

After the success of this COM
mission there followed many more
competitive awards of similar char
