Hyattsville High School.
A visit to Key West, Fla, is in
cluded in my postwar planning.
And when I get there I know I'll
feel right at home, thanks to my
post card collection.
Key West is ITS miles from Miami,
Fla, 375 miles farther south than
Cairo, Egypt, and 80 miles from
Havana, Cuba. 1t is the only city
In the United States that is really
tropical in all ways.
When the Spanish explorers came
there the ground was Uttered with
the remains of savage tribes. Since
then it has risen and fallen in trade
and manufacture
The book Reap the Wild Wind"
by Thelma Strabel. tells of the old
days when Key West was in its
pirate period.
From my post cards, Key West is
fascinating city of clear, blue skies
dotted with white, fieecy clouds;
tall. swaying palm trees bordering
the streets and coasts, and beauti-
full transparent waters.
The houses are low and rambling,
built for people who love the cli-
mate, where the highest tempera-
ture in summer is about 95 degrees
and the lowest in winter about So.
Any one who loves the tropics
should visit Key West. Ny post card
collection shows it the way visitor
would see it. and the way 1 want
to see Is when 1 go there after the

to recognize many birds-the mock
ing bird, the bob white. the red
headed woodpecker, the barn swal-
low, the cat bird, the thrush, the
cardinal, the thrasher, the blue
bird, the hummingbird, the robin,
the sparrow and the partridge. l
have heard the mourning dove, but
haven't been able to see it.
All these birds are very fond of
blackberries, and we have found
many nests built in the brambles.
One day I found turtle which
also liked blackberries. Its mouth
was all purple.
Scampering here and there were
little rabbits which would freeze in
their tracks until we could almost
touch them and then would quickly
run away. Little partridges trying
their wings, striped chipmunks
scurrying around. were all seen at
various times when I went berrying
The last time I went got several
cans of blackberries and also good
dose of poison ivy. But it was worth
it to see the beautiful sky and clouds
and the forest animals and birds.

She lay down to rest, never hoping
to sleep because the night was a
sultry, hot one and sleep came
painfully slow. Her book was dull,
so she put 1t back in the case. The
candy by her bed was too sweet, so
she stopped eating it. She snapped
out her light in angry protest to
the insects that buzzed around it.
AL was still. Not even a slight
breeze stirred the trees outside the
window.
1t seemed hours that she lay in
the warm darkness then the
great flaming cloud appeared. 1t
was red and yellow and orange, and
it looked Technically hot. And there
she was-in heavy fur coat and
mufner, with a huge fur. blanket
drawn over her, sitting on top of
a roaring furnace. All around her,
red people carrying flaming torches
were dancing, and as they danced,
they moved closer and closer till
finally these hundreds of people
merged into one-huge and loom
ing. He also carried huge torch
closer and closer. She was fright
ened. Beads Of perspiration stood
out on her forehead.
The red giant stopped and touched
his torch to her blanket. The flame
leapt toward her. Finally, she
screamed. And then the flaming
cloud dropped into . cool green
world Of loveliness.
When she awoke, it was raining.

The National Naval Medical Gen.
ter at Bethesda, Md, has little
work of art in it's chapel, located in
the west wing, near the auditorium.
1t is a small room, seating about 20
people, with a window at one side.
Walls, chairs. floor covering and
Venetian blinds are all in closely
related tones of a restful gray or
green blue.
The altar and wooden altar rail
are in the same peace-inducing
color. Lace-edged altar cloths,
candles and flowers are pure white.
A hand-carved Crucifix by a Bos-
ton craftsman (whose name was
given to the writer only as win
cent? is suspended from gray
blue hanging. Everything is as
simple as possible, and in perfect
harmony with the institution it
serves
This chapel was designed by
Sister Mary Jeannette Blair, o. S.
u, director of the art department
of Catholic University. She was
given the commission after author
tiles had seen her work in the
design of an altar in the hospital
auditorium used in l94l for Easter
Sunday services for the Navy. She
personally supervised all building
and decoration of the chapel.
II undertook this" she told the
writer, so that the sailors and
nurses would have place of re-
lease, to mediate and say their
prayers undisturbed. 1t is done in
blue-green, a restful color, with
nothing to upset or excite them"
The color impressed the writer as
being suggestive of the sea, which
would be an appropriate source of
inspiration for any art creation for
the Naval Medical Center. There
is small entrance leading to the
chapel, and sacristy, all three
rooms being related in their color
schemes. Stained glass panels in
vivid colors enliven them: One in
the entrance door, and one between
chapel and sacristy.
Early this year there was placed
in the chapel an exquisite little vigil
light, funds for. which had been
given anonymously by a pupil of
Sister Jeanette. She commissioned
Kenneth F. Bates to make it. He is
a master enamelist and instructor in
design at the Cleveland School of
Art, with whose work she was well
acquainted, for she was formerly q
leader among Cleveland's art edu-
Gators when she served as supervisor

minished because the people at
large are not interested nor eager
for possession. Strangely enough
the sales at the annual exhibitions
held by the Royal Academy in Lon
don, where taxes are heavier by far
than here, have steadily increased
during the war and far exceed any
like record here in America.
This is partly due to confusion
on the part of the public through
the diverse standards of merit to
which they are asked to subscribe
What is good? What is bad? What
will the Portrait of America" have
to tell us?
During the war much good art
has been employed to bring to those
at home pictures of the battle fronts
but these are transitory. AS Hugh
Walpole once said, Immediate his
tory, however disturbing and hor-
rible, Goes not affect at all the life
of the spirit That life, immediate
current history cannot terminate nor
destroy The art which lasts Is
that which transforms the onlooker
at least for the moment, and usually
never to be forgotten, by its sudden
and profound loveiness-beauty un-
alloyed. While works of this order
are being destroyed as war sweeps
the world it is for us, here in Amer
lea, to search out our own sincerity
and with what genius we may pos
sess prepare to re-enrich not only
ourselves but those to come who
will suffer from this empoverish-
ment. 1t is to this great service that
our artists Of today are called. The
Portrait of America painted by
artists of today, should be not merely
a reflection of the present, but the
expression of that imaged in our
dreams-the best not the worst we
have achieved.
Whether or not this important
exhibition will come to Washington
is as yet unahnounced,

The staff under the direction of
Miss Florence M. Glib serves over
1880 persons daily. Work begins
at 7 am. and ends ut 4 pm. The
first things that are done by the
boys are to unlock the soft-drink
boxes and I'LL them, put up the
umbrellas and obtain ice for the soft
drinks and milk.
Meanwhile, the girls scrub the
counters, cut the pies and cakes, and
wrap the hot dogs. About 1890
one of the boys is sent for the sand
wiches, while others prepare the
fruits, candy and potato chips for
display. At II we open for business,

perform, and they do so faithfully.
At 2:30 the bar discontinues serv-

bottles and take down the umbrellas
and pile them on five small trucks.
The soft-drink boxes are then
drained and everything is put away
for the night.
At 4 everybody punches the time

come to an end.
