Harriett Houghton or Medford,
finds Norway a friendly and
charming country and is looking
forward to living in Oslo accord
ing to letters to her parents, Mr.
and Mrs. Dwight Houghton," 512
Dakota avenue. The Guldahls.
who have been living in Seattle,
left last month for Norway, Mr.
Guldahl's native country, and
plan to remain there at least a
year. .
"The weather has been cloudy
all the way until yesterday noon
when we sailed .into Bergen. I
think that city rejoiced because
we brought the sun with us.
"Bergen was certainly a
charming little town. We had
to pass a number of rocky islands
ana up a fjord before we got
there. All along the way were
brightly painted houses and al
most every house had a flag
pole. "Most of these houses were
built right ton the rock. Bergen
itself is surrounded by seven
mountains and we took a ride
by rail car up to the top of one
called Florien. The railway is
called 'Floibanen.' At the top
is a magnificent view of Bergen,
the fjord, and surrounding moun
tains and lake-?. - e,
"There is also a restaurant on
top and the usual souvenir shop,
though I do say the souvenirs
are not as junkv as those in the
U. S.
"We went to the little round
shaped house where Grieg wrote
his 'Peer Gynt Suite.' You can
surely see where he got his in
spiration. "The streets of Bergen are
very narrow and winding. Even
the oldest parts of the town are
clean and neat. We went to the
home of (friends). We met the
neighbor and the lady down
stairs who, it turned out, came
from Seattle!
Church Described
"On the 18th we stopped in
Stavanger and strolled around
for about an hour and a half.
Stavanger was rather small and
is noted for canning and export
ing fish. They have a very tiny
old church there, started in
about 1500 in the Roman style,
and finished many years later
in Gothic style. Most of the orna
mental work was taken out of
the church during the Reforma
tion, but a very ornate hand
carved pulpit was returned.
"There are carved pictures of
the Old Testament stories oft
it and it is painted in vivid
colors which have lasted fof
these years.
"The nineteenth we had all
day in Copenhagen. We took off
from the ship by foot and found
many interesting things to see.
For one, the palace of the king
with the guards standing out
side their little red houses. The
guards had on blue pants, red
coats, with white accessories, and
big bushy black fur hats. Whew!
How suffocating on a warm day.
"While we looked' at them,
some chimes rang and immed
iately they started walking back
and forth in unison, clicking
their heels as they turned. I
guess when the king is home,
they really put on a show.
"We wandered down the
street and into a park and there
we came upon the famous statue
of the mermaid created by H.
C Anderson in one of his stories.
"We, rather Alf, asked for
directions to Tlvoli . . . (It) is
filled with outdoor restaurants,
each one trying to outdo the
next in setting. Most of them
are situated around a small lake.
We sat down in one and ordered
sandwiches.

the 'sandwich' came as one piece

"Tivoli consisted of many res

arcades, dance pavilions and. in
the center, a very large concert
hall where classical concerts are
given.
"All the buildings are trimmed
with colored lights, as well as
the pathways and the shores of
the lake.
"We stopped in a museum on
the way back. There were some
very fine collections of old china
and glassware, hand - written
Bibles, beautiful handcarved

"I learned one thing true
ruby glass has a bluish tinge
and was -made before the 17th
century. One part of the mu
seum was devoted to old musical
instruments of which they had
one of the best collections. Cop
enhagen has many fine museums
. . . also many bicycles; so many
that they have built special lanes
for bicyclists.
"Saturday was the big day of
arrival to Oslo. As we rode up
Oslofjord we were right at the
rail until we got to the dock.
Then we were busy trying to
spot Alf's family. I finallyfsaw
a group of women pointing in
our direction . . . sure enough
they were the sisters-in-law.
Family Celebrates
"We went down to get our
passports checked and all, which
took an hour. We walked down
the gangplank and there as we
turned were the rest of the Gul
dahls. They all had their hands
outstretched to shake, and Papa
Guldahl stood to one side hold
ing a bouquet of flowers, and
go misty:eyed he couldn't say
one word.
"We went out to Papa Gul
dahl's house and-had a welcome
skol, and a table laden with pas
try, coffee and liquor. Ooh!
What a celebration and me hard
ly understanding anything, but
I got along fine with all with
Alf as. interpreter.
"After the eating we had open
face sandwiches or 'smor-bord'
and 'kranshkake,' a cake made
of almond flavored rings, one
on the top of the other, decorat
ed with Norwegian and Ameri
can flags, and snappers.
"There is one thing that I'm
having to get used to here, and
that is that bathrooms are at a
minimum! One goes to town to a
community bath when we bathe.
We wash our hands and face in
cold water which is the fastest
way to wake up in the morning.
"We have also seen our apart
ment and it is beautiful! The
man who owns the house built
it himself and he has done a
wonderful job. It has a long liv
ing room which can be split into
a dining room too, a big kitchen
with counter space stretching
the length of the room, and two
bedrooms.
"It is an upstairs apartment
and the view beautiful. ('Pent'
in Norwegian.) There are several
other neat houses below us, ours
being on a hill, and beyond that
farms with the hay drying on
the racks, beyond that a small
lake, and beyond that Lillestro
men and the forests. A very
pretty view.
"The house has electric panels
for heating as well as a cute tall
skinny wood stove in the living
room. There is a small hot water
heater above the sink in the
kitchen o guarantee hot water
for the dishes. The floors are
wood with a highly-finished var
nish . . .
"We share the bath -with the
landlord and it is in the base
ment. This is because it is so
expensive to put on the other
floors, why I don't know.
"Shopping for furniture is an
other story, which is not fin
ished yet. Everything is coming
fine."

Neutral Colors
Big News in
1957 Decorating
Chicago W The big news
in color trends for 1957 interior
decorating is the growing use
of neutrals with a touch of color
This is a boon to the practi
cal housewife, who cannot af
ford to re-do her whole house
every time she wantsa change
of style or color.
This prediction was made by
three nationally known home
fashion experts, speaking be
fore the ninth annual conveu
tion of the Retail Paint and
Wallpaper Distributers of Am
erica. Florence Byerly, home furn
ishings editor of Better Homes
and Gardens magazine, said the
most important wall colors will
be "the wandering" neutrals as
nomad, which is neither gray
nor beige, but takes on a tone
of nearby colors.
"Another trend is bright
white as a background color
added Miss Byerly, "showing off
carpet and upholstery tones in
sharp contrast. Bright colors are
beinng used in greater quantities,
than ever before.
"Color combinations tend to
ward thee unusual pinks with
oranges, royal purples with pure
pale tones, blues with greens."
According to Margaret Hutch
inson, a color stylist, "there is
a growing interest in the off
beat, in-between kind of color
which can be described as nei
ther gray nor brown, with a
touch of some other color. The
entire color range for walls has
taken on a softer, more subdued
look."
Another new concept in in
terior decorating that may
sweep the markets in 1957 is
correlated design," created by
Evelyn Mayer, who thinks that
homes should be well-coordin
ated "packages" of design and
color.
Another advocate of the use
of neutrals. Miss Mayer sparks
her textural wall coverings and
upholstery with wide, alternat
ing meetallic stripes . symbols
of her plan for integrating color
and texture.
She stressed that this metallic
effect shouli be used only as an
accent if it were found all
throughout the fabric it would
be "too much icing on a cake."'
She feels that rough, "luminous
fabrics have a more interesting
effect than the smooth, satiny
finish" of ordinary draperies.
"The most important criterian
for decorators is simple," con
cluded Miss Mayer. "A woman
has and always will want her
surroundings to be most becom
ing to herself."

Women's Legs
Hardest To Fit
Says Technician
By DON MARTIN
United Press Correspondent
Greensboro, N.C. flPi A worn
sn's legs may be her best asset
buf they are the nardest por
tion of her anatomy to fit.
Burlington Industries' lab tech
nicians have been carrying on
a series of tests, and the results
have brought about "renewed
interest" in "leg volume" for
the hosiery merchandisers.
r
The official lab report:
'Let it be understood that
when stockings are too short, too
tight at the knee, or have a welt
that rides too high or down too
lov these things are not neces
sarily the fault of the manu
facturer. Hosiery makers can
and do produce stockings to fit
any and every size leg. It's the
women themselves, who, lacking
the necessary measurements of
their own legs fail to buy hoss
tlict fit properly.
Length and Volume
Women .s hose, like mens
socks, are still sold primarily on
the basis of foot size. But there
the similarity ends.
The sock covers only the foot
and ankle, so a man can buy an
exact foot size and be assured
of a perfect fit.
The experts report this is not
so with the women.
Women who wear the same
s.ze shoe may be completely un-
Mice in leg proportions. One may
be five feet, 10 inches tall, the
other five-two; one may weigh
161 pounds to the other's 105.
As a result, one's leg may be
six inches longer than the other
rs well as larger in circumfer
ence at the ankle, calf, knee
and thigh.
The smart buyer, looking for
a perfect fit, would measure leg
volume.
Tank Measurement
Burlington reports it is doing
ju :t that but still hasn't solved
'he problem. It has developed a
unique "tank" device to do the
measuring on a representative
grmp of women.
. The transparent tank, just
large enough to accommodate
a woman's leg, carries a gradu
ated scale on the outside mark
ed off in cubic inches. To find
leg volume she simply places her
kg in" the tank. Then t is filled
to the top with water. When
she removes her leg, the water
line drops, and the difference
between the two readings rep
resents her "leg displacement. '
or volume.
The experts report average
displacement is approximately
395 cubic inches.
So far so good but Burling
tor admits one big problem re
mains 'How are you going to get
women to measure their leg vol
ume before they go to the store
to buy hose?"
Sandwiches ,
Chopped ripe olives and fine
ly chopped walnuts mixed with
mayonnaise make a popular
filling for sandwiches. Spread on
whole wheat bread, and serve
with sliced tomatoes.

Sidewalk Superintendents
Have Club, Pretty Hostess
By GAY PAULEY
United Press Correspondent
New York (IP) Marilyn
iMiele's construction, is pretty
ietcmng. sut she confessed to
day she hasn't a chance against
another one nearby the new
skyscraper going up in Rockefel
ler Center.
Marilyn, a tall, handsomely
proportioned brunette of 23, is
summertime hostess for a Side
walk Superintendents' club,
founded by a Rockefeller in
1938 and re-activated, one month
ago.
Already 100,000 visitors many
of them women, have stopped
at the club to observe what now
is one of the city's biggest holes
in the ground. Ultimately the
hole will be filled with the 47
story Time and Life building.
Cost, 70 million dollars.
Club headquarters is a 65
foot long painted pavilion, with
bright red and blue striped pen
nants, flower boxes, model
cranes which work, and 10 spa
cious windows which give an
unobstructed view of the -exca
vation.
A Unique Job
Marilyn's job, a unique one,
is to meet and sreet sight-seers,
register those who want to join
the club, and hand them a mem
bership card which bears the
motto: "The best pilots stand
on the shore."
Miss Miele, who in the winter
time teaches school on Long
Island, also explains what is
going on "down there." I asked
her what was, and she answer
ed: "Ten to 15 tons of rock and
dirt come up with each truck
load; 85,000 tons moved so far;
ultimately 200,000 tons will
come out. The excavation will
be 38 to 40 feet deep."
The Center gave Miss Miele
a thorough briefing before, she
started work. But not enough
to help her with one woman's
question. She asked "What is j
bedrock?"
"I've got to look that one up"
said Maulyn today.
Natural for Spot
Miss Miele in previous sum
mer vacations from school had
worked as guide for the Cen
ter's tours. So when the Center
was looking for a club hostess,
she was a natural with her looks
and personality.
All o$ which leads some of
the masculine sidewalkers to try
dating her "But this doesn't
happen often," Marilyn said.
"Most of them are more Inter
