Washlngton, D C, Aug. 17
Dear Mariaa:
Cruisinc around suburban
Washington on a pleasantly
warm Saturday afternoon, vis
iting the homes of friends or
friends of your cruising com
panions, can bring much va
riety. At least two Items at
traded special Interest.
One was a unique swlramini
pool at the home of the John
H. Klags. Mr. King is from
the Milton-Freewater section
of the state and his wife Is a
Portlander. Both attended the
University of Oregon. He is as
sociated with the Automobile
Manufacturers association and
is frequent Oregon and west
coast visitor because of his or
gsnizational work. The swim
ming pool that the Kings have
devised has a floor and slop
ing sides of slate roofing pa
per. Three layers of the roof
ing material have been used,
each held to the other with
roofing tar. The green color of
the roofing makea the pool
cool looking spot on the ter
race at the rear of the house,
The pool has been used for
four years and shows no signs
of giving out in spite of the
hundreds of children and
adults who have enjoyed It.
Mr. King points out that should
hole develop or the edges
start to deteriorate, all that
need be done is to add another
layer or two of roof utg.. The
tremendous saving in cost over
cement or tile pool is -par-
tcularly noteworthy. The
Kings five acres has another
center of interest in the out
door fireplace and barbecue.
specialty of theirs is corn
picked fresh from the field and
roasted in the husks. They
gauge the plantings so that
tney have nine successive
pickings" and from the on
slaught that their guests make
the roasted ears from the
grill, one can understand the
planting technique to prolong
me season.
At another home in the same
vicinity of Falls Church, a
beautiful collection of Amber
ina glass attracted our atten
tion. The hostess demonstrated
the clear bell tone of the foot
ed compotes and the lovely
color when combined with a
table setting of pink floral
Limoges. Her success in find
ing matched pieces both in the
Washington area and in Penn
sylvania is indicated by the
size of her collection and the
variety of the items. An en
chanting miniature lamp, a
lovely pitcher, several larie
finger bowls, plus the glasses.
compotes, and bowls, all in the
beautiful amber and rose, form
a decorative note Jn a home
that contains many interesting
items of furniture and china.
On a trip one evening to a
suburban restaurant to dine,
we vis ted a spot that apparent
ly is known to comparatively
few Washingtonians but which
attracts the interest of many
visitors who have learned that
the ststue of "Grief" by Augus
tas Stlnt-Giadeu is in this
city. For example, a man from
India who had travelled tne
world around viewing the art
treasures of the centuries, said
that the principal objective of
his visit in Wsshington was to
see this 'remarkable work by
the Irish - American sculptor.
On the other hand, J have
found only two resident who
hsd known of the statue which
was Placed in hock threes.
Cemetery by a Mr. Adama as
a memorial to his wife. No
name appears on the tomb so
ihat one cannot identify Mr.
Adams or learn his wife's
name and Inquiries at one of
the art galleries failed to re
veal the information. The area
that encloses the statue and the
long, circular bench on which
one may sit to study it is com
pletely surounded by plantings
of shrubs, vines and trees and
one could pass it by without
knowing of the presence of the
work of art. The seated figure
of a woman with a long, flow
ing robe partially covering her
head and figure is on a pedes
tal so that one gazes up into
the face. The soft green of the
patina covering the outer folds
of the robs is contrasted by the
bronze of the face and figure
untouched by the patina. What
struck me forcibly was the re
actions of our group of four
to the artist's conception of
grief. As in a truly great work
of art, each read his own in
terpretation, based on person
al experience. One felt it to be
the image of a most complete
ly sad and utterly exhausted
woman; another read resigned
peace in itsaevery aspect; an
other saw understanding and
comprehension of the woes of
the world; and the other saw
determination in the set of the
lips and chin and a resolute
ness to carry on. Finding the
statue is a bit difficult, but it
is well worth the effort and I
hope one day you may see it,
too.
Sincerely, Peg.
