BY GRETCHEN SMITH. Possessing beauty and charm, with an extensive knowledge of her country's history and traditions, Mme.

Veverka re- marked, s they will cele- | brate in Cz i the millennium of the ceath of St. Vences'as, the patron and most famous King of Bavaria.” | Having briefly sketched the early his- | tory of her native land, Mme. Veverka then turned fo the modern nation, | which is an important contributor to the industrial markets of the present ay. Speaking of the glass industry 1or| which her country has been famous ror[ many generations. she said, “There has | bren a complete renaissance in recent vears in the manufacture of glassware. We have long had a reputation for our | Bohemian glass. But there is now | quite a new school producing new de. signs. new patterns and very beautiful | work." ‘Do _women work in the glass fac- Mme Veverka was asked. “Doubtless, the women of Czechoslo- | vakia are entering into public life as| those of other nations?” the Minister's | wife was asked. | Mme. Veverka hesitated a moment before replying. “The women of my country are very different from others, in many Although they have | cqual political rights with men and though they even hold office in our n: tional Parliament, I do not believe the Czechoslovakian woman has, generally speaking. entered into public life as freely as other women, particularly as in | America. The women of my nation are more interested in their homes and chil- | dren then in any other thing. They are very industrious and when married de- vote themselves entirely to the manage- ment of their homes and the upbringing of their children.” Home Place for Children. Mme. Veverka does not believe in boarding schools for children nor in day nurseries, except in casss where it is ab- | solutely necessary. “The training of children should ke | entirely in (he hands of {he parents and T'do not think that a woman is able to | laws are very fine, too. Children are not permitted to work in factories and we have an eight-hour labor law for all adults.” Although women do not take part in the great glass industry of her country nor in the ufacture of sugar from beets, which are grown in vast quan- tities in the southern part of Czecho- slovakia, they have one industry which is their own. ‘Women Toy Makers. “In Slovakia. in the eastern part of the omen are making the vs.” sald Mme. Veverka hey are made from wood, and cut by the women, then painted and decorated most beautifully. They have built up a great toy industry and export their products to other countries.” Temperamentally. the women of Czechoslovakia differ greatly from those of America, claims Mme. Veverka. "I think my countrywomen are more con- | templative than America: they are also more romantic and I believe more contented.” While admiring the liberty and in-| great master of Czechoslovakia, orig- | inated in that country and from there it has spread to various parts of Europs as well as the United States. Proud of Musical Abilities. Mme. Veverka is also. proud of her country's contribution to the music world.” In addition to many beautiful Bavarian compositions, well known opera singers, including the famous Emma Dastinn, now residing in Prague, come from the land of Czechoslovakia Mme. Veverka has deeply enjoyed her residence in the United States. “I appreciate the spirit of liborty | which vou have,” sh2 said, “and I am delighted I have come here, as I have overcome many false prejudices which I had before I came. appreciate your country even more when I return to Europe, as I am cer- tain I will be dissatisied with many things there, after having known them as they are in this country.” .
