Seattle Writer
Off For Europe

Seattle writer Alice Franklin
Bryant left April 10 for a trip
that will take her to Spain, Scan
dinavia, and far-off Samarkand.
Her purpose is to visit a cousin
in Madrid and European friends
in a number of countries; to bring
her impressions of Europe, which
she last visited in 1851, up to date;
to try to get her Religion for the
Hardheaded published in addition
al countries.
This book, which is an argu-
ment for Christianity, has been
brought out in a translation by
general publishers in Japan and
the Netherlands. Mrs. Bryant is
going to try to take 100 copies of
it into the U.S.S.R. to give to IL
braries and individuals.
Gwen if 1 succeed in this" she
says, "the copies given to libraries
may be locked up instead of be-
ing circulated. But rules are not
always kept, and forbidden fruit
has especial attraction"
Mrs. Bryant, who has already
travelled in 40 countries and col
onies and spent a number of years
in the Orient, viii spend two
months in Western Europe and
one in the Soviet Union during
her present trip. She will return
to Seattle in August, but will
leave again late in September for
a lecture tour through the Mid
west and South.
Upon leaving here, Mrs. Bryant
flew to New York; visited in
d. c. and Charleton:
and sailed from Miami, April 10,
on a Portuguese passenger ship
which goes via the Canaries and
Madeira to Lisbon. She explains,
"A Portuguese ship is the best
prelude to the Iberian Peninsula.
I'll have a chance to timber up my
Spanish and master the Portu-
guese language!"
