What's Wrapped Around
The Curves

Swedish girls are pretty sharp
dressers, in spite of the fact that
many of them continue to wear
their clothes after the hemlines
are an inch too long or too short
according to the latest fashion
edict. Sometimes it's not too prac-
tical to follow fashions closely;
the long narrow skirt would hard
ly seem useful for bicycle riding,
which almost everyone engages in.
Dresses and coats do not ap-
pear in such great variety of col
ors as is common in the states,
being for the most part on the
more sober side. Still, they are no
match for the sOmberness of
mems suits, which seem to be de-
signed mainly for pallbearers.
Stacks are fairly popular, though
they are not as widely used as
in America. That is no great
source of regret, since here as
elsewhere, women in Stacks ar

Why come to UppSala? FOR CEN
turies this quiet city with roots far
back in medieval history has been
a cultural saFt-lick for all of Swe-
wen. Peculiar relics and noble
monuments from the days of the
country's earliest Importance are
still at hand and can be freely
examined.
During pre-Christian times, this
area was the center of govern
ment-here the Uppsala kings be-
gan the unification of what later
became modern Sweden. Since the
coming of Christianity to the coun-
try, the locality has been the
residence of the archbishop and
the formal center of religion in
Sweden. And since 1477, the old
est Swedish university has exist
ed here-the University of Upp-
sala
Curious Burial Monuments
Taking first things first, you
ride a snort way out OF tOWn 10
the site of the original city, from
which the present one gets its
name. At Old Uppsala powerful
heather kings once held court,
and here their bones still lie un-
der curious burial monuments.
Unwilling to let their passing
go unnoticed by future genera
lions, the pompous old despots
caused huge mounds of earth to
be erected as markers over their
final resting places. Before the
custom was discontinued, spirit
of competition seems to have de-
veloped, for the row of mounds
grows progressively higher, one

reaching a height of perhaps sixty
feet.
Hard by the burial grounds and
on the site of a pagan temple
stands the austere, steep-roofed
cathedral of Old Uppsala. Conse-
Grated in 1855, the building was

later, ending Old Uppsala's per-

Back in the new" town, you
walk down narrow, stone-paved
streets to the city's center-line, the
river Fyris. Except out of courte-
sy, you probably wouldn't refer to
the Fyris as anything but a fair
sized creek, at best. In no partic-
ular hurry to get anywhere, it
dallies in little pools and duck
ponds, once in a while making a
show of hustling over a few bould-
ers along its course.
Above an Old mlll-race a flock
of mallards aimlessly circle and

grows green here too.
There's two things that are
quickly noticed about this NOrdic
beauty-it's plentiful, and it is
not nearly as dependent on the
magic of the makeup kit as the
American brand is. Swedish girls
are disposed toward wearing their
own faces, with only a minimum
of daubing on the Old Masters
work.
In the States, it's worth noting,
the face a girl assumes for her
evening date is probably a COM
plete stranger to the one she
wears when getting up in tn e
morning. Many is the startled
bridegroom who has had to get
used to that fact.
Her refusal to use lot of Co.'S
metics does not mean the Swedish
girl is a sort of dry-land iceberg.
Fact is, she generally doesn't need
much help from an assortment of
powder and lipstick. Anyhow, the
latter has a way of rubbing off.
Who Said They're All Blondes?
There has been a lot of talk
about blondness being predomin-
ant among Swedish women. A
whole country full of fair-haired
maids does not come much closer
to fulfillment here than it does
in many other European countries.
If the myth ever had any basis
in the past, a lot of genes have
gotten mixed up in the meantime
for right now the brunettes and
other varieties appear to be hold
ing their own with no trouble.
And among the blondes who dc
exist there is one here and there
who obviously has not come by

Washington Boy
Heads Americans
At Stock holm j.

A University of Washington
graduate, Carleton Appelo, was
last week elected president of the
Student Group Of the
College in Stockholm.
After an initial tie vote, which
necessitated second election,
AppelO won the top seat by
comfortable margin of 20 to 10.
AS president of the American
students. Appelo will act as stu
dent representative on the Com
mittee of Governors of the Am
erican College. He will also be
the representative of the present
class in the newly formed alumni
association of the College.
Appelo, who is from Deep River,
Washington. is well qualified for
his new position. While attending
the University of Washington ne
served two years as president of
the Student Cooperative League,
1946-194S, and he was also pres
ident of the Pacific Coast CO.
operative League, an association
of nine college co-ops, 1947-194S.
Active participation in co-ops
while in college has given Appelo
deep seated interest in the CO.
Cd movement. He wrote his thesis
for the Masters degree in Business
Administration on Federal Tax
alton of Cooperatives," He says
that one of the big reasons of his
coming to Sweden is to study the
co-ops there and that he is especial
ly interested in investigating their
personnel management problems

ner taken CreSSeS through natural
channels. Commoner but still un-
usual is the more inhibited girl |
who follows the American fad of |
bleaching just couple of swatches
here and there for effect. For the
most part, though, the peroxide
trade doesn't seem to be doing a
flourishing business; not on a
Hollywood scale, at any rate.
No Getting Away From Vanity
While the average Svenska
flicka is not subject to the herd
instinct that makes her American
sisters want to look precisely
alike to the last button, she still
has a share Of the vanity common
to all women from Malm0 to
Mukilteo.
She doesn't always hide her
light under a bushel For example,
the healthy individual known as
the sweater girl is present in
considerable numbers. There might
we'll be more here than meets the
eye; without casting any unwar-
ranted doubts on Swedish integ-
rity, it is perhaps pertinent to
observe that the brisk sale of
"falsies" seems to be an accom-
panying phenomenon.
What, No Whistling Peekers?
But in this country such machi-
nations do not produce the same
effect Americans are familiar
with. In the States, sweater girl
mincing down the street can gen.
orally count on creating something
of a stir when passing a group
of observant males. Not so in
Sweden; here she may rate a cool
appraising look, but that's all
no low whistles or similar express
sions of admiration.
Reason for this sad state of af-
fairs probably involves the rela-
tive over-supply of women. Cities
in Sweden average 1,109 women
for every 1000 men. The 100 ex-
ira women add up to some pretty
stiff competition in the tough
hunt for husbands. The eligible
male feels he can afford to be
both critical and deliberate in
making his choice; here's one case
in which his cup runneth over, and
he knows it.
Now About Dating the Girl
The interesting surplus in the
female of the species has served
to strengthen the dutch treat
practice that is very common, es-
pecially among students. Under
this system if a girl has been
asked to go on a date to the
theater, say, but finds her purse
a little on the flat side, she simply
declines. Should the boy feel par
ticularly flush with the coin OF
the realm, he makes it clear tina,
he is inviting her to go, gratis
