THANKSGIVING eve will be open
house at the Washington Chess
Divan, PAS Fifteenth street NV,
with all players of the District in
vited to participate in the rapid
transit Journeys for which the divan
is famous. So far as possible, all
entries will be placed in sections
graded according to strength. En-
tries will close and play begin
promptly at $50 pm.
The most important chess event
in the United States since the HOLY
wood Tournament of 1945 has been
announced under auspices OF the
Manhattan Chess Club. From De-
cember "a to January 2. DR.. Max
Euwe of Holland, worlds champion
from 1851; Miguel .Naidorf and
Gideon Stahlberg, natives OF Po-
land and Sweden, respectively, but
residents of Argentina, will COM
pete in q tournament against seven
leading American masters yet un-
named. This event may go far to
redeem the postwar neglect OF mas
ter chess by the United States
Chess Federation. 1t will be doubly
interesting If the most promising
of our younger experts, such as
George Kramer and Arthur Bisguier,
are included among, the American
entries.
Miss Maud c.. SewaN, charter
member of the chess divan and a
regular participant in its activities

suspended her from play.
Grandmaster Najdorf, whose
showing at the Stockholm tourney
was a disappointment to his fans,
will come to the Manhattan Club
tourney fresh from a brilliant sue
cess in Italy. He won first prize in
a strong international tournament
at Venice two points ahead OF the

This is essentially a story OF
precious perfume oils. At the same
time 1t is also the story of woman
who turned perfume-making
hobby into a business that today is
helping, In a small way, the recon-
struction Of Italy.
From this business, work is pro-
vided for crystal blowers on the
Island of Murano near Venice,
paper packaging people in Milan,
and work for many in Parma who
make the less luxurious glass bottles
for the toilet waters and colognes.
It is little industries like this per-
fune business of the Marchesa Fu-
masoni-Biondi's that contribute to
the economic recovery Of Europe.
1t helps to move commodities,
money Is exchanged and people
work.
The Marchesa's employees, many
OF whom live on the outskirts of
Rome, are devoted to this noble
woman, who, even during the Ger
man occupation, continued to pay
her workers, and provided them with
food and milk although her bust
ness was at a stand-still. So loyal
are these workers that during the
recent Communist transportation
strike in Rome many girls walked
miles and miles to get to work each
day.
Originally the Marchesa started
mixing rare essences of perfume te
take her mind off of the tragic
death Of q young son. Her friends
were the first to use the fragrances
They were so enthusiastic that II
occurred to her to manufacture
perfumes and thereby give work u
any number of Italian women who
otherwise could not obtain q job.
The Marchesa Is one of the few
women in the world who possess az
exceptional sensitivity to these illus.
trations. Memory of scents also i!
essential in creating perfumes. Sht
makes her own formulas, designs he,
own packaging and even names he
scents. When the Marchesa decidee
to become a businesswoman sht
realized that along with her "luck'
she wanted to really understand
the whole field of perfumery. 81
to Grasse she went to learn per
fume artistry. In Paris she studied
applied chemistry. Today she /
numbered along with about q
others in the world who are know
as moses" These people all posses
the above mentioned sensitivity.

From the Hills of Rome

A gentle, unassuning person, thet
Marchesa Is remembered by many
Washingtonians who knew her when
she visited here years ago. Others
will remember the Marchesa from
the New York Worlds Fair held In
1889. That was the first time her
perfumes were introduced to the
United States. In Europe the per-
fumes that come from this italian
house are considered to be as fine
as any made in France.
In fact, many requests have come
from leading French perfume houses
for the Marchesa to leave Rome and
to work in France. Loyalty and
love for her country and her en-
ployes do not permit her to say
"yes."
The oils used in the making of
the perfumes come from France,
Switzerland, Java, India, Africa and
South America. No synthetics are
used. Thus, 1t is that her perfumes
have longer lasting fragrance. The
story of how the essential oils were
secreted in caves and in peasant
homes during the German occupa-
ton would rival many Of the tales
circulated by members Of the OSS.
When Rome was liberated the oils
were retrieved and returned to the
Marchesa. Formulas are closely
guarded and the Marchesa Is helped
in her perfume blending by her
daughter, Mussia.
The pictures shown were taken In
Italy at Via Donizetti 10, the address
of Marchesa Fumasoni-Biondi's per-
fume establishment.
Several of the processes are shown,
to the right is depicted the. season
ing" that all perfume must undergo
before 1t Is ready for women the
world over to use. From this store
room it Is moved to the laboratory
above where it undergoes still other
: processes. There it is measured
: sometimes diluted for colognes and
toilet waters, and then goes to the
other workers who fill bottles. label
and package them. All labor is done
by hand except for the distilling. in
which machines are employed.
. After the bottles of perfume are
packaged they are then ready to
be mailed. Our final picture on the
right shows two bottles Of perfume
that are all the Marchesa's handi-
) work from bottle design, perfume
blending to packaging.

For Mrs. r. G. W., Washington.

recipe. The very next week she
wrote as follows: "It Is, without
