And what were days like at

WHEN SPEAKING of Yas-

taught me to work in the fields,
and I suppose my love Of the
soil is from him.
Tolstoy left the rights to all
of his works to Alexandra,
with instructions that they be
put in the public domain so
that everyone could read them.
HE always said that he
could not sell the products of
his mind, soul and spirit, that
this was Gods gift and had
to be given to everybody"
Because of his wish, and her
compliance with it. the Count
ess never realized royalties
from some of his most famous
works.
After he died, she published
three volumes of his works and
the proceeds she distributed
among members Of her family,
along with money from the sale
of parts of Yasnaya Polyana.
The remaining $50 acres are

Helping Others
Like her father in his later
years, the countess has de-
voted her life to helping
others. The Tolstoy Founda-
ton, of which she is president,
aids European escapes, and
has been IN existence for TN
years. Its main quarters are
outside Nyack, N. Y. 1t also
maintains Is Offices abroad.
Had she not followed her
fathers wishes and put his

A 72-year-old woman took
the longest of all voyages home
yesterday-across time and the
memory of years.
For Alexandra Lvovna Toll
stoy, daughter of the Russian
novelist, the way led from a
sunny Washington hotel room,
over the United States, by way
of the Pacific to Japan, and
finally, to Russia after the
Revolution. But even further,
it led back to a time that can
never be again, CzariSt Russia.
The countess, who was in
Washington yesterday to talk
about The Tolstoy Foundation
and her fathers masterpiece,
War and Peace" which has
been made into a movie for
the first time, was born at
Yasnaya Polyana, Leo Toll
stoy's beloved estate 100 miles
south of Moscow. Tolstoy in
herited the estate from the
Wolkonsky side of his family,
his mothers side.
Built by Prince Nicholas
Wolkonsky, his grandfather,
Yasnaya Polyana was where
Tolstoy spent most of his SO
years.

said. Toward the end of his
days, my father wrote 'Krug
Chtnea,' or The Circle of Read
ing. In it, he summarized all
of the great spiritual thinking
of the world. A whole day was
devoted to one subject. IT was
the first attempt to sum up
the best of all religions. For
instance, one day would be on
love, another on honesty, an
other on family life. 1t quoted

(Gregorian instead of Julian

TRIANGULAR TABLES

Many furniture arrangements in
apartments these days call for
placing chairs and sofa in cir

When furniture pieces are
placed in this way. there are

nishings are traditional. these
gaps can be filled with very
I small, round pie-crust or drum
tables.
If your decor is modern, how
ever, you may want to provide
small, triangular tables between
chairs. Even for traditional set
tings, the triangular table offers
more surface area for a lamp,
