challenge and opportunity lie be-
fore the people OF the United States
as the New Year dawns. What

The league president urges the

our efforts to help build strong
United Nations; to work out practi-
cal ways Of sharing our plenty with
the needy In the rest OF the world,
and to achieve maximum employ
ment and economic adjustment at

"In these ways we may do a great
deal to build machinery for peace
and restore the health and morale
needed to maintain it.
"It is not enough" she continues;
for us as citizens to; wish and hope
that this goal will be achieved. To
care to the point of doing some-
thing about it. To cherish deeply
and use to the fullest the democratic
processes which are at our COM
mand, is our opportunity" {

Mrs. Stevens0n's Bell Collection
Assembled From Over World
By Gretchen Smith
Women's Club Editor.

'Ring out the old, ring in the
new" might be echoed this New
Year Day in the chimes Of approxi-
mately 300 bells, by Mrs. Victoria
Faber Stevenson, past president of
the National League of American
Pen Women, If she cared to utilize
the interesting collection which she
has assembled from every part OF
the world.
There is something particularly
human in the tone of a bell and
this might be explained by COM
ment of Mrs. Stevenson as she told
the history of some of her collection,
that bells regulate the lives OF
people" )"
Pointing to group of bells as
sembled as a separate unit in the
collection which she displays for
friends at her home on Nineteenth
street NV, she said, "in this group
YOU will find school bells, telephone
bells, dinner bells, fire engine bells,
bicycle bells and even an old horse
car bell"
The horse-car bell, heavy brass,
bearing the New York street names,
Broadway and Seventh avenue, was
brought many years ago by Mrs.
Stevenson from the Metropolitan
City as reminder Of vacation days

long ago, when she personally rode
in the old horse car and heard the
bell jangle its approach up Broad
way.
History and fascinating legends
are also recalled by many of the
bells in the Stevenson collection.
A group of small brass bells has
been named by their collector, the
character bells" Nest Of these
have been imported from Europe,
many from England, among which
is a Cheshire-cat bell, the handle
being a replica of the Cheshire-cat
in Alice in Wonderland. Then there
is the imp bell, also imported from
England. Picking up this bell, Mrs.
Stevenson displayed the handle,
made to represent a little imp. The
grotesque figure, she explained, is a
copy of the little imps found on a
column in the famous Lincoln
Cathedral in England.
Tradition tells that at one time,
two little creatures entered the
cathedral and made so bold as to
try to speak to the angels in the
angel choir above" Mrs. Stevenson
said. For their inpertinence, they
were turned into little imps whose
images are still to be found in the
cathedral"
Another quaint bell from England,
which is included in the group of
character bells is the Queen Eliza
beth bell, a tiny replica of England's
famous Queen Bess" depicted in
queenly robes. The clapper peeping
from beneath the skirt of the bell,
represents two small feet.
Mrs. Stevenson's collection of
Chinese bells tells a story of old
China as far back as the 18th cen
tury. A small brass bell embossed
in colored enamel figures bears a
swastika, which the Chinese i'm
porter from whom she obtained the
bell, told Mrs. Stevenson was known
in China as far back as the 18th
century.
"He told me it was used then as
the mark of an ORDER which de-
voted itself to charitable work, par
ticularly in times of national stress,
very much like the Red Cross" she
explained.
Two funny little Foo dogs are
reproduced in handles of other
bells in the Chinese collection.
1.-THE Foo dogs represent happi-
ness and are found as incense burn
ers on hearthstones in Chinese
homes" Mrs. Stevenson continued
"They are supposed to guard the
home and protect the family"
Other unusual items in the col
lection include a hand-hammered
bell from Batavia which Mrs. Stew
enson explained was used to hang
around the neck of the Sacred Cow
of the Brahmins; an elephant bell
from India, reindeer bell from
Norway, a falcon bell from Tibet
and camel bell from Egypt.
This bell was on the camel which
carried friend to the Great Pyra-
mid" Mrs. Stevenson said. "She
sent the bell to me later"
New Year resolutions might be
summed up in Inscriptions on an
odd bell which came from a Llama
temple in China.
Tracing the figures on the bell,
Mrs. Stevenson said, they repre-
sented teachings of reformed
Buddhism preached by the Llama
priests and signified a code OF
thought: right views, right in
tentions. right speech, right action
right livelihood, right effort and
right thinking
