BISMARCK, NORTH DAKOTA, THURSDAY, JULY 30, 1931 = —— Mother and daughter both have absorbed much of the beauty and glamor of the Far East that they have learn- ed to know so well. Here you see Mrs. Edith Sweeney in a richly brocaded robe, and her daughter Peggy in the costume of a Siamese court dancer. xe * WOMAN BRINGS U.S. WITH U Exhibits Drenched With Allur-/ ing, Romantic Atmosphere of Asiatics New York, July 30.—Edith Igoe Sweeney makes a fine art of her} career and her career a fine art. She goes about America making people feel as if they are traveling, though they stand still doing so. Her unique specialty is arranging fasci- nating window displays of objects she collected in Asia that are drenched | with the alluring, romantic atmos- phere of Siam, Tibet, Peking, well-cal- culated to carry onlookers to places “East of Suez.” It may only be a new radio or phonograph that a store window means to introduce. Let Mrs. Swee- ney build the background and the window becomes a pageant of the| history of Oriental music itself, with ancient Chinese, Burmese or Indian | native instruments that are alien,! provocative, suggesting to our eye- minded nation the wierd, fantastic religious festivals or native celebri tions we actually would see if we vis- ited those faraway lands. Took 10 Years of Travel It may be some article of clothing, such as hats or shoes, that Mrs. Sweeney builds a background for. She is likely to show a rich old brocaded priest's robe, some Cambodian danc- | ing girls’ brocaded costumes, both of} which may have suggested the pat- terns for these modern articles. Per- haps a head-piece of some Oriental queen which may have given the idea for decoration, and several pieces of | native pottery that hight have con- (ributed the color schemes. It took Mrs. Sweeney 10 years and| Many, many trips to all parts of Asia with her artist husband to make her Asiatic art collection valued at more, than $100,000. An interesting aspect of her unusual career is that it in| itself is a by-product of her desire to} bring back some tangible part of the! Orient to her little daughter, Peggy. | The Sweeneys lived in San Francisco | before they sailed on their first trip} “to China, ‘cross the Bay.” Peggy,| aged four then, stayed at home with} NAVY PILOTS WIN BALLOON RACE | just like native girls. * * FAR EAST TO NIQUE DISPLAYS her nurse. Mrs. Sweeney began col- jlecting a few things for Peggy. A | picture from Mukden, a native cos- | tume from Cambodia, a bronze head |of a Brahman from Anghor Thom, a Buddhist prayer book made of wood, fragments of ancient textiles. Always interested in things Oriental, born with a dramatic sense and trained in |staging pageants, Mrs. Sweeney seemed to have a sixth sense about picking unique, valuable and highly picturesque pieces. | Now Has Many Orders | when San Francisco stores were play- | *—— ing up to girls and boys who were fin- ishing school that .summer, Mrs. ine | Seven years ago at graduation time, | Sweeney had the idea of using some | | of her exhibit to broaden their entire | | horizon and include a world picture to | {show them what might lie ahead of; |them. In one store window, Mrs./ Sweeney built up a display that was called “One hundred thousand miles | of travel in 100 feet of space.” This exhibit attracted a steamship company, Mrs. Sweeney was given an order to show the same display in) New York. From that she began| doing store windows as a background | for their merchandise. She now has| ae huge collection of art objects: | classified and catalogued so that she | can use them in numberless ways. | Little Peggy in the mantime has absorbed much of Oriental culture from her parents, much meaning of Oriental customs from the costumes she owns, the dances they have taught her, the strange instruments her ung fingers have learned to play. e have never wanted to foist any alien thing onto Peggy,” Mrs. Sweeney explained. “But she seems to love it all as we do. She learned the dances} She speaks several languages and plays many in- struments. We think she has real, talent as an artist. But in the mean- time her life is much richer, her hori- zon world-wide.

Of it she said: “I think there is a big field in this; kind of work for women who know; art. There is an increasing tendency | to delve back into the culture of old countries.

'Boy Scouts in Camp At Yellowstone Park Bismarck Boy ates began their tour of Yellowstone park Monday morning, @ letter mailed to the Trib- une from Ten Sleeps, Wy6., indicates. The trip from the Black Hills to Cody was made in two days. According to the letter, the Scouts left Buffalo, Wyo., at noon Friday. |For more than 30 miles the truck \climbed steadily the steep grades of the Big Horn mountains. At. times the boys had to get out.and push to make the more difficult hills. After arriving at Powder River Pass, at an altitude of 9,666 feet, the going was easy. From here the road led through a deep canyon, following for miles the side of a cliff beneath hanging rock. It was just after sunset when the car entered the canyon and the boys amused themselves by pointing out what appeared to be grotesque figures seen along the canyon wall in the Bismarck, N. D. half light. They arrived at the Ten Sleep tourist camp about 9 p. m. Leaving « there early Saturday morning, the truck proceeded toward Yellowstone. About seven miles from Cody the boys visited the tremendous Shoshone Dam. From the top of the dam one could get a remarkable view of the surrounding canyons and river. A reservoir about 11 miles long and four miles wide has been formed, surrounded by the colorful banks which rise vertically from the river, and the canyon walls. A road cut from solid rock winds along the north bank of the river, Beyond Shoshone dam, the cars passed through a region noted for its peculiar rock formations. Here they encountered a heavy rainstorm and later in the day, shortly after they had entered the park, encountered another storm. The boys were glad to finally pitch camp at Lake June: tion.
