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 told of visiting the
McCulley house in Jackson
ville where more than 300
dolls are exhibited by Mrs.
Leona Salyer.
Mrs, Jenkins gave the hist
ory of dolls and their makers,
saying that doll collecting is
one of the fastest growing of
all hobbies. 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. One wax figure In orig
inal costume dates from 1810.
Mrs. R. Drew Lamb con

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

In the summer, long table '

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

with great rattie and gaiety,

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.
