Jf FAT. ' f". If "1 & A Sea Otters Are Subject Of Book Ashland Popular on both Idea of the Atlantic li the book, "Ring o Bright Water" written by Scotsman Gavin Maxwell. This was Mrs. Eliza beth Sommer'i choice for re view at the Monday meeting of Ashland Study club when members met at the home of Mrs. I. F. Andres. The author tells of his life on one of the northern Heb rides Islands. On his island Maxwell witnessed the sea sonal migration of birds and sea creatures, observing the phenomena of killers. Central figure in the book Is a sea otter which Maxwell acquired while on a trip to Iraq. The furry companion opened a new world of exper ience to the writer and the animal's untimely death brought desolation until after long searching a successor was found. Critics are comparing "Ring of Bright Water" to "Born Free" as another story of nature In a weary war-mad world. Of added interest was the fact that a club member, Mrs. Len Osgood, had come from the particular locality In which the story was laid and was acquainted with sev eral of the persons mentioned by the author. Recalled Dolls "Just for Fun" was the title given by Mrs. H. F. Jenkins to her selected subject on dolls.

She mentioned several collectors in the val ley as well as those who had originated unusual dolls, us ing dried pears or apples for faces for example. The fa mous Raggedy Ann doll was designed in Ashland by a member of the Gruelle fam ily. She illustrated her talk and concluded with a display of two china head dolls which had been In her family for generations and showed sev eral antique dolls from the collection of Janet McCul lough.

(Clark's studio, HoitBurgj Veni- By MARGARET Rome - Almost every trav eler comes to Europe with a list of "musts : must see, must do, must go to. On many lists are places to eat, such as Alfredo's, Romolo. Hosteria Del Orso, Da Meo Patacco, etc. Alas. Alfredo is dead, and there are three restaurants in his name. This insures tour ists that they can still order the fettuchinl for which he was famous. The Hosteria Del Orso is advertised and famous be cause It was said Dante lived at the inn. But this legend was finally destroyed when It was made known thil Dan te was in Rome before the Inn was built. Long after It was closed - centuries long - It was restored, and not only did they discover unsuspected architecture of great cnarm, but they found little surprises like a skeleton of a man who had been standing all the long years walled in between two rooms. The location, along tle Tiber, has atmosphere too; It was In the vicinity that execu tions took place in the middle ages. If you did not know that the great Goethe, Montaigne, Rabelais and others had fre quented this inn (which is now only a restaurant) you would still think it a nice place with atmosphere. Dines In 'Trap' Recently, I was Invited to dinner there. As it was crowd ed and we had not made res ervations, we sat in the bar for an hour. Then we were ushered into one of the small er dining rooms. The menus were large and told of the many choices of food. They were not vulgar enough to have prices listed, however. There were five of us, and w had one course and dessort - almost unheard of among Europeans - a plate with dol lar sized filets, a vegetable, potato, and rolls. A baked ap ple for dessert. Oh, yes, a bot tle of wine. The "II conto" -bill to us - was 19(1. I hesi tate to think what the hour In the lounge was, Is it any wonder that the Italians cnll such places "tourists' traps"? ' Da Men Patacco is another ! of a different sort. When I j first went to this delightful, rowdy place across the river, 1 I had an odd sensation that It smacked a bit of Ameri cana, I couldn't place It, and I loved the beauty of the old buildings surrounding the nl-1 ley-like piazza. One of them ', reminded me of Romeo and Juliet's balcony. Something- j like clever spotlighting, light Ing from underneath the beau ty spots - Impressed me as ! the work of a deft and clever stage manager - I stage set-1 " , Sing for Rich j In the summer, long table ' with colored clothes, bottles : dripping with wax, shaded lights, big baskets of bread on the tables add to the sim ulated effect of simple, peas ant Rome. At 0:30, out of an open window up above, comes a Mario Lanza voice, and ap pears a big booming, "O So'e Mlo" singing Italian. Then with great rattie and gaiety, 4-9 Vidi SCHULER out from an ancient door, come the costumed entertain ers, with gourds, flutes, cym bals, cornets and mandolins. They wear the Sicilian hand kerchief around their heads, and red silk bands around their waists. They wind around, in and among the guests, singing to the most prosperous ones. Out in the periphery of the lattice fenced tables are dec orated horses and riders, and it was this that first made me a bit suspicious - a wagon, rather like one of our old West. Balloons float up into the blue Italian night, young girls sell roses for corsages; menus are long, long scrolls done in the manner of some thing, I am not sure what. But they are delightful sou venirs, which may be had if your order sufficiently. It is fun. All foreigners, feeling they are really seeing the other side of Rome, love It. I do, and I have been there many , times. Unfortunately the Romans don't. It is an other tourist trap to them. And this is the story behind It. An American sergeant mar ried an Italian girl, and he conceived the idea, and has carried it out, highly success fully regardless of the authen ticity. If you look up at the Juliet balcony, and window near it, you may see the ser geant himself, peering out and supervising his venture.
