CURTAIN CARE Glass fiber curtains should be washed, rinsed and rehung with out wringing or ironing. Smooth seams and hems with the fingers as curtains dry. of it." She opened the front door of her lovely granite home herself. A poodle barked at her heels "That dog," said the Dame. is the only bitch on this island.' By law, the -Dame is the sole inhabitant of the beautiful little island who is allowed to keep a female dog. We've got lots of dogs Sark," she said, "but Bella here s the only bitch." Why?" "Well, if we didn't control the thing the dogs would multiply and if they got to be too many, they'd chase' all the sheep off the high cliffs into the sea. Sheep are val uable." Sark is a far away place of al most unbelievable natural charm leafy trees, flowers so heavy with scent that a perpetual smell of perfume hangs over the island during spring and summer. It's a verdant plateau rising 200 feet out of the sea and ruled by the Dame. She holds it as a royal fief as it has been held since Elizabeth I. Sark was part of the Duchy of Normandy when William con quered England in 1066. "So. said the Dame, we call England our oldest possession." Legally, of course, it s linked up with the United Kingdom. Today, Sark is the last purely feudal state in the world. The Dame's ancestors bought it from a ruler who went bust. Robert Hathaway, the Ameri can, was the Dame's second hus band. He came to England during World War I as a volunteer to fly with the old Royal Flying Corps. He liked Britain so much that he became a British subject In 1920. when the Dame was s widow with six children,, sne dropped in to see Hathaway in London for some introductions to neoDle in the United States. Hathaway was so attracted to this handsome witty woman that he met her at the pier upon her return from America. He laid heavy. court for eight days and on the eighth evening he proposed. They were married four days later and Hathaway De came the Seigneur of Sark. Hathaway died after World War II and once again she was tne ruler. One of the charms of this spec tacular spot. of land is the total absence of automobiles. I won't have them," explained the Dame. Do you object to motor cars? Not at all. I like them. I just don't want them on Sark." Ancient horse-drawn carriages and motorcycles are the means of conveyance. The islanders us ually walk, however. A few years ago tne name couldn't remember exactly when a concession was made to the combustion engine and a few tractors were imported. Lame since childhood, the Dame has never let this interfere with her bicycling, dancing, hunting, or doing anything else she wants to. Perhaps the greatest challenge of her long life was during the German occupation of Sark. On nearby Alderney the British troops pulled out, wisely realizing that it would "have been impos sible to hold Ihe island from the Germans who'd overrun France only eight miles away. This led to the evacuation of the entire population of Alderney but not Sark. The Dame decided against evac uation. One Sunday night after church she called together the population and told them she meant to stay The islanders voted to slay, too. On July 3, 1940, two German oflicers chugged over in a boat from Guernsey. From her turret- ed tower she saw them coming. She told her servants 'that when they arrived at her house they were to show thern in. The Dame and her husband lured," observed the American born Hathaway. - Later. Hathaway was taken away by the Germans ana put a prison camp. A gallant woman and fearless, she never removed such antifas cist books from her drawing room shelves as "Sawdust Ceaser" and "The House that Hitler Built." The Germans came to dinner sometimes as her guests. They bowed and when they left they kissed her hand. That's the way the Dame played it. She made some enemies, though. She organized the Islanders. They made clothes and shoes for themselves and dolls for their children. She led the good fight always. Then came the day of libera tion. Before the liberators arrived while the Germans were still on Sark the Dame defiantly ran up the Union Jack and the Stars and Stripes. When British officers arrived the Dame personally arranged the surrender and did the interpret ing. Since the liberation, Sark has gone its quiet way, slipping back into its ancient customs. People say this is feudalism and that we're not democratic,' snapped the Dame. "Nothing makes me so cross. We're quite democratic. We had a new constitution in 1953 and it provided for 12 elect ed deputies." She coughed behind her hand "Of course," she explained have the right of veto, but I'v never used it." . . , ' " CD ; J . - J: $f J XT J j , y I MR. AND MRS. THOMAS J.
