Ársrit Bandalags lúterskra kvenna 47 that the Dutch are ever mindful of the past. Now this country knows no unemployment, and there is general well-being. To visit the most wonderful places one would need a month, instead of ten days. I got permission to visit my friend in Deventer—Mr. and Mrs. Scholten (Ton and Dicky) called for me and I recognized them from pictures they had sent me. Getting acquainted with them, I found them to be very much like what I had imagined—fine, thoughtful people, but possessing some of the Dutch humour. We travelled by train to Deventer and I enjoyed this, as a new ex- perience. Most of the trains are run by electricity and are smaller than ours, and seem to travel very fast. Arriving at Deventer, which is an old town in part, we had to take a taxi to the new housing area (apartment blocks), where my friends live. This is different, as you have to phone the taxi and make an appointment to meet it at the nearest stall, and then wait your turn, which was this time, at least 10 minutes. No taxi trails you to say, “Taxi. Where to?” This new area, on the west of the town, comprises a great number of apartments to relieve the housing shortage. These apart- ments are modern in every way, with central heating, full base- ments and painted in light colours. Suite No. 1, the one I visited, is very homelike, with all modern conveniences, and tastefully furnished. There are flowers everywhere and bowls of fruit, grown in their country, while tables, chairs, rugs, large and small, are in evidence. The small rugs are used for the tables, but look like light- weight multi-colored carpet material. A piece of light fancy work is laid across these table rugs, generally. The picture window has a lace curtain, or valance on the top only. These are beautiful and many are costly as they are bought in Switzerland. There are draw drapes at the sides which are pulled very tight, at night, as about three-quarters of the window-pane is uncovered. Pictures and paint- ings adorn the walls but there are not too many, and there is no cluttered appearance. There are two adorable children in this family. Constance (Stans) aged five years, and Albert (Bert) aged two years. They are the picture of health and happiness. Stans attends Kinder- garten, and she proudly presented me with a picture she had made,
