Reports of the United States' exhibits at the World's
Fair in Belgium continue to be as varied as the persons who
make them. Latest to reach Potpourri was one written by
Mrs. Robert Miller, who taught English in Medford High
school for the past two years and who, with her husband and
small son, Kit, is now in Europe. The Millers are making an
indefinite stay abroad while Mr. Miller j an artist,-paints and
studies in France.
In a recent letter to her mother, Mrs. Virginia Sher
wood, Mrs. Miller wrote of their iiew life in Gue-du-Loir,
and of their earlier visit to the fair.
"Yesterday our trunk and bags that have been stored in
LeHavre all summer arrived, and it was like Christmas. The
only fjy in the ointment is- that we Ordered wood for the
little stove over a week ago and haven't seen a stick yet
However, it's not very cold, except after supper. In fact, the
weather has been considerably nicer than it was all summer
everywhere. Bob has been able to paint every day and is
providing himself with still life material for a rainy day.
"We. had intended to go to Paris last week end it's
only about 80 miles away - to pick up mail,' see if our coats
had arrived, buy some books arid art supplies and pay a visit
to the Flea Market for possible still life stuff, when we dis
covered that the general election was to take place that Sun
day. I wouldn't have thought much about it, but our neigh-"
bor reported there was some Communist inspired violence
going on in the' week preceding the voting, so we postponed
our trip until the coming Friday.
."M. St: Mare, our neighbor, and Bob get on very well
are out painting together again today, in fact - and it is
probably fortunate that he, St. Mare, is at an opopsite pole
in style and subject matter. He paints - toujours wistful,
slim, frail creatures, always sitting on tile floors or gazing
out of windows with broken shutters, with soft, watered
down colors and a matte finish. He and wife and their little
boy came here three years "ago from Paris and both there
and here he has done" some advertising work (magazine and
newspaper type). He has had two shows of his work here at
Gue-du-Loir and sold everything he showed. Bob took some
old paintings off their stretcher bars the other night and St.
Mare experimented with them by putting a nice frame over
this part and that and told Bob that he could get 30,000
francs for one. That sounds like a lot, but only amounts to
about $75. Still, if one could sell a couple a month one could
live on it - in fact, three could. St. Mare haj contracted for
an exhibit of his work in Paris next month and finds him
self with little time and no work to show. He has been puU
tering around here day after day, finding all kinds of ex
cuses not to paint - cleaned out his studio twice since we've
been here. ,
"Their apartment, which is smaller than ours, is called
LeColombier, because it used to be a dove cote. Ours is Le
Chatillon (or something which means Little Chateau) and
the grand apartment up above is Bel Air. The whole is call
ed Roc-en-Fleurs because the doctor who owns them has
planted all kinds of flowers and bushes up here.

time ago. I think the buildings were, generally speaking,
more interesting than their contents with the exception of
the French one, which looked so sort of heavily futurama-ish,
but had enough inside to occupy your attention for days -sans
couture' Not a dress was to be seen (on display, I mean).
Of course, we went straight to the U.S. navilion which is
very strategically situated at the chief entrance. They have
a round, rather commonplace building with the States' flags
all the way around it and have given a large part of their
snare to a laree. shallow pool with some strange wiggly
spurts of water growing thickly all over. .
Inside things were pretty auu wun a iew nuiame ex

one side of it, on its banks, so to speak, and facing the main
entrance, were large screens, about one story high, with
very, very good Steinberg "cartoons" of American life. They
have been done with cut-out paper and paint and a few
other materials such as staples. The only trouble with them
is that probably only Americans could appreciate the satire

things I thought well presented were a large (compared to
other exhibits) architecture section on one v ie um.uuira.
There were large photographs of schools, churches and resi

"Then there was a small exhibit of contemporary but

disappointing- about the American "entry" was the lack of
"live" entertainment. There had been a couple of days of
the New York City ballet, and a couple of musical comedies,

pavilion which would like to have seen, and no doubt hun
dreds cf other things that I don't know I've missed. The
grounds and the pavilions were really crowded, all day and
