VILMA BAZANT IS | STUDYING ABROAD; When Miss Ishbel MacDonald (in- set) parried women reporters dur- ing the ten days her father’s party was in the United States, her tongue must have been in her rosy Scotch cheek. For the man she plans to marry was at her side. He is Lord Arnold, paymaster general, “unofficially attached” to the Prime Minister’s party. Ishbel was telling the truth when she denied an “en- gagement,” for the “understand- ing” between them will only become an engagement when formally an- nounced, and Ishbel plans just such ;ncter and citizenship training he re- ceives now determines to a large extent the value he has as an adult an announcement immediately on her return to England from Canada in the first week of November. This fact, and the story of the seven-year romance of a girl and a man who had to change his politics to win the object of his devotion, was learned from sources closest to the MacDon. ald family, and the facts are borne out by $riends of Lord Arnold Ishbel’s intended husband is fifty- one. He is a wealthy stockbroker and Prime Minister MacDonald’s devoted friend.

In a letter received by Mrs. John Rustgard, Miss Bazant said that both she and her mother often | thought -of the time when they! would be able to return to their beloved Alaska as they felt that they like it better here than any where else in the world. “Every once in a while,” writes Miss Ba-| zant, “when I become particularly ' lonesome for Alaska I read some' of the conversations of the sour- doughs in Rex Beach's ‘The Spoil- ers, and ‘The Silver Horde' and| that seems to help a little bit. We have just heard that an Alaskan| from Cordova expects to come to Europe soon and will be here m' Pisek around Christmas. That seems wonderful” Miss Bazant has been studying under Prof. Seveik, of Prague, Czechoslovakia, who is considered one of the great teachers of the violin in Europe, and who has written several studies in connec- tion with the technique of that in- strument. Since last June, she has been studying under Professor Seveik without charge and this fact gives mute testimony of the recognition of her great talent by this well-known artist. In Europe, | it is considered a great privilege | to even be numbered as one of | Prof. Seveik's pupils.
