Finnish artists internation-
ally known. and the always
present wildfIowers arranged
in old Finnish dishes or
copper buckets.
The island and the Finn
ish countryside, is alive
WITH wildflowerss in the sum-
mers So beautiful and many
are they that it is easy to
see where Finnish artists and
artisans get inspirations for
the beautiful colors Of their
work. -
Loves Wild Flowers
I Look" Patricia seppala
will say to a guest. Look
at that bright purple-we
call it horsma. And there
are the enormous bluebells,
and there are daisies, both
cream and white, and this
white grass we call dogs
grass" Her love of Wild
flowers shows throughout
the house, as no room is
without its special arrange
ment, sometimes with wheat
and grass, sometimes alone
in a mass of color.
So great is her love for
Kaldo that Mrs. Seppala
says: "Only very special peo-
pie are invited to share Kaldo
with us, people who will love
the sea and the beauty of
the island" A week end may
see a visit from Finnish
President and Mrs. Kek-
konen, or the Italian Am
bassador and Mrs. Ducci.
Great friends also and
frequent visitors are Rosie
and Eddie Stockmann from
Helsinki. Mr.. Stockmann is
a member of the family that
owns Stockmann's, Helsinki's
famous department store
known to every visitor for
its wealth of merchandise
and its collection of Finnish
art objects.
The treats are endless at
Kaldo. but recently, on a
lovely white night" the
nights that are filled with
light in summer, some Amer
ican guests fingered long at
the mill wheel after dinner.
The water was ill-black,
the air was soft with a Hage
of coolness, the silence was
broken only by conversation
and the passing of an oc-
caSional family boat or
steamer to Sweden.
1t was light long past mid
night, a plane had passed,
when suddenly from behind
the island a gigantic orange
disc appeared. 1t was the
midnight moon of the north,
so close that it seemed it
could be touched, and it rose
so rapidly in that part of the
earth that it was above the
horizon in minutes.
In this land of water.
stone, sea, forest and flower,
1t is easy to see why the
Seppalas return to Kaldo
whenever they can find the
flimsieSt excuse.

channels, past rock-strewn
islands with summer villas
with bright red roofs, around
another channel bend and
into the boat house at Kaldo.
The SeppaIas also bring in
supplies in their boats, and
there is nothing that Patricia
Seppala adores more than
combing the excellent mar
kets in Helsinki and Turku,
the old capital Of Finland
and the ambassadors home
city. y
Open market places have a
special fascination for her,
and she may stop at one
stand and choose cheese. at
another for meats, and at
still another for the potatoes,
dill and long, long cucumbers.
At others she stops for dried
birch stems used for beating
eggs and cream, and for
breads, the variety of which
no American market ever
produces. "This is what I
miss most in America she
says, "the open market places
of Europe"
Supplies and guests are
unloaded at the boat house
and taken up a beautiful
rock-lined path to the house,
"Eerakkala." The name of
the house is derived from the
Erkko family, Patricia's
maiden name. Her father is
one Of Finland's great men
Elias Erkko, foreign min
lister during the Winter War,
and now publisher of Hell
sinki's largest newspaper,
HelSingen Sanomat.
The original house, in
which a cobbler lived, is kept
intact with its large beamed
ceilings, and the cobbler's
bench is now used as a little
table in the dining room.
Patricia's grandmother added
the rest Of the rooms to the
house-all of which are fur
niShed in Finnish furniture
and with Finnish art objects.
Look Out On Sea
The lovely loaded glass
windows in the dining room
look out over the sea and are
hung with old dried sealing
nets with arrow shaped
wooden floats on which the
number of seals caught by
the fishermen were carved.
The ambassador bought them
at a country auction last
summer and Patricia hung
them over the windows.
Finland'S old country fur
niture is used in the living
room, with its open fireplace
and windows on all sides, in
the attractive dining room,
with two lovely old cabinets
and wall clock; in the hall,
and in the bedrooms and
guest rooms upstairs. There

often griIled on the stove
following q sauna); three or
four kinds of breads and
cheese Finnish country
cheese" is a favorite); pota-
toes, tomatoes and cucumbers
with dill, and cloudberries
with whipped cream. The
delicious cloudberry comes
from Lapland, looks like a
yellow raspberry. but has a
taste that is like no other
berry.
A Place to Relax
For both the Ambassador
and his wife,, Kaldo, pro-
nounced Chelda, is something
very special. and of course
very Finnish. Here the Am
bassador relaxes, thinks,
reads and works. This sum-
mer he has built a doll house
for fey, young Rafaela Sep
pala who is as much at home
in the forests and waters of
Finland as a wood nymph.
Her mother, an enthusiast
tic photographer, has hun
dreds of photographs of
Rafaela in the woods, in the
tall marsh grasses, among
the bircheS and with the fam
lily cocker spaniel, Joy.
When a visitor commented
recently on the beauty and
artistic quality of the photo
graphs, Patricia Seppala re-
piled: II have been thinking
for some time of publishing
the photographs and calling
them 'Rafaela in the Forest"
In Rafaela'S photographs,
her mother has caught all of
the beauty of the birch and
spruce forests, the green tall
grasses, the rocks and cool
water and the very essence of
Finland-the feeling of close
ness to the earth and to ma
ture.
Family Owned Island
Kaldo is a large island
owned by Patricia Seppala
and her family and inherited
from her grandmother, whom
she resembles very much. It
is the island where she grew
up as a child, to which she
returned during the snowy
nights Of the Winter War
with Russia, when every
Finn's life was at stake. st
know every one of these is
lands, because I padded to
them with my grandmother
when I was a child" she says.
The ambassador takes the
wheel Of the boat himself
when guests arrive at the
island. The car is parked on
Little Nagu island, and from
there the ambassador pilots

An idyllic, birch-screened,
wildflower- scattered island in
the Baltic is the escape from
Washington's midsummer for
the Ambassador from Fin
land and Mrs. Seppala.
And escape there they do,
even when they are in Fin
land, for Finland's cities can
be very warm in the summer
.-HelSinki had some of the
warmest weather of any city
in Europe during June.
Throughout the larger cit
les Of Finland, it is a COM
mon sight to see lines of auto
mobiles. motorcycles and BIZ
cycles heading out of the city
toward the cooling oceans,
lakes and rivers on summer
week ends. The Seppalas are
always among their Finnish
,countrymen, whether they
have been in Helsinki on
business at the Foreign Min
iStry, or on a visit to Mrs.
Seppala's parents, who have
a beautiful apartment over
looking the harbor.

Turku and industrial Tam
pere almost deserted on the
week end. And now that Fin

Reverse CoIoEs

There are several ways to
achieve color unity when
painting two adjoining rooms.
One method is to paint the
walls Of the two rooms the
same color and to repeat the
color of the floor covering of
one room on the ceiling Of the
other. A second technique is
to reverse the walls and CELL
ing colors of the two rooms.

How do you furnish a CO.
lonial room? New home
makers are eager to use ro-
mantle Colonial furniture
styles now popular, particu-
larly in the bedroom, but
they wonder how to organize
a room in the manner of the
coloniStS.
You can make your room
look authentic, even though
you can't lay claim to the
real thing in early furniture.
There is much of the early,
sturdily-built furniture in
existence, since the style pre-
vailed for about 80 years.
But even If you haven't
been lucky enough to inherit
some of our first formal fur
niture-patterned mainly af-
ter the English cabinet
makers, Chippendale, Hepple-
white and Goddard - you
need not feel underpriv-
ileged. Some of the new re-
productions available could
make the old masters sit up
and take notice.
Helpful Hints
Here are some clues to fur
niture and accessories that
could be used in a Colonial
bedroom:
Furniture: Four-post beds
with or without tester, low
chests, high boys, knee-hole
dressing tables. Woods are
smooth finished mahogany
maple or cherry with Gabrielle
legs, rosette and shell carv-
tngs and other significant
features of the craftmen.
Walls: Painted or wall
papered. A style of Colonial
times involved using wall
paper above a dado with a
border of printed paper, in
stead Of molding, running
horizontally around the dado.
Other favorite wall treat
ments included paper panels.
These were applied vertically.
Scenic wall papers or paint
ings were popular, as they
are today.

Alvin demands
police halt entry

A demand that police stop
entry of wholesale liquor deal
ers' trucks into Pascagoula has
been made by city commission
er Alvin H. Charlton.
Charlton made the demand
in a letter addressed to chief
of police E. E. Blakeney.
Il have had so many COM
plants from citizens and
preachers that I just had to
try to do something about
it" Charlton explained after
notifying the Chronicle of
his demand.
Blakeney said Thursday that
he has taken Charlton's re-
quest under advisement and
will make a comment short
ly."
Text Of Charlton's letter:

citizenry of Pascagoula, Mis-
sissippi that we have coming
into and operating in the City
of Pascagoula, two ~ whole
sale liquor dealers, housed and
headquartered in H arriso On
