Following the custom of the girls of her native land to “go to work” after a short season as society “butterflies,” Miss Ellis Bostrom, youngest daughter of the Minister from Sweden, has suc- cessfully completed a secretarial course at a local business school and is now engaged as one of the secretaries at the chancery of the Swedish legation. Swedish girls may well be proud of their young representative in the United States. With her golden hair and deep blue eyes, Miss Bostrom is a perfect type of the lovely womanhood of the land of the Vikings. According to Miss Bostrom, there is nothing extraordinary in the fact that while other girls of her set, who made their debuts in Washington a year ago, are stili erigaged for the most part in filling a round of social engagements, she has voluntarily secured a position which means hard work and long hours. None Remain Idle. “I am merely doing what all the girls my country do,” the diplomat’s daughter explained. “No girl in Sweden ever remains idle. In the first place, we do not have the same method of “com- ing out” that you do in America. A Swedish girl starts going to parties with | girls and boys before she is of the debut age, and in this way she gradually ‘slips’ | out into society. Consequently she ! avoids the arduous social season which | is gone through by American debutantes. | A Swedish girl spreads her social activi- ties over a period of years. After she has completed her schooling in Sweden, if she can afford to do so, a girl of my country usually goes abroad for awhile. Generally, she goes to Paris first, where for about six or eight months she studies French. After she has learned that language she goes to London, where for about two or three months Expressing surprise at the statement given to the study of English, Miss Bostrom explained to her interviewer that English is extremely easy to learn for the Swedish people. “After a girl has masterec two or threee languages and studied abroad for a while she then returns to Sweden, invariably with the idea of finding some some sort of work,” the Minister's daughter continued. “Lots of Swedish girls, including several of my friends, have taken business courses and gone in for secretarial work. There are a great many girls of prominent families ;"olrklng in the foreign office in Stock- olm.” The Minister's daughter explained that while frequently society girls were presented at court, the custom was not general and considered “the thing to do” and a necessity for social success, as it is generally accepted in England. Miss Bostrom is an expert typist, has mastered shorthand and bookkeeping and speaks several languages. In ad- dition to her business qualifications she is a lover of sports and is an accom- plished horsewoman. “All the girls in Sweden love sports,” she remarked. “As we have so much snow for such a long period of time, Winter sports are extremely popular with everybody. Perhaps the favorite sport is the one known as ‘tolka,’ when, while standing on skiis, one drives a fast horse up and down the hilly roads of the country. “Methods of teaching equestrianism differ greatly in Sweden from the meth- ods used in this country.” “When I was 11 years old,” said Miss school, where I was placed on a horse, without reins or stirrups to the saddle. The horse was then started on a run around the riding hall and it was a question of stay on or fall off. One is bound to fall off at least 20 times be- fore she learns to ride properly by this ;ni'.hod, and I had the usual number of alls.” Riding Is Popular. Riding _is so popular throughout Sweden that every Spring there is a sort of gathering of the “horse clans,” Miss Bostrom' explained, “when lead- | ing horsemen and horsewomen meet in Stockholm and other large cities to compete for the silver and bronze medals offered to those able to pass the strenuous tests to which they are put.” “First,” she related, “the one com- ting for the medal must ride alone for about 20 minutes, while the judges pass on the horsemanship of the com- petitor. Every detail is remarked and counted, from the way in which the reins are held to the manner of sitting in the saddle. After that there is a demonstration of jumping. followed by a strenuous cross-country ride, in which 1 there are difficult jumps to be taken in both woods and on concrete roads. After learning that this lovely young daughter of Sweden had won the bronze medal in one of the recent competitions held in Stockholm one can understand her frequent and enthusiastic appear- ances upon the bridle paths of Wash- n. Miss Bostrom possesses an_extensive | knowledge of the customs and costumes of the peasants of her country. “Each landscape, or province, as you ENVOY'S DAUGHTER MISS ELLIS BOSTROM, Daughter of the Minister from Sweden.

Invariably the gunman has chosen pretty young women for his victims.

Rushed to a h pital, she was able to give a descrip- tion of her assallant.
