TRUESDELL — brings to Key West a colorful background of the varied tastes and interests of a Navy wife who has lived in many parts of the world and has taken a deep interest in each country she has visited, life. Mrs. Truesdell Has Interest In Arts And Literature Of Many Countries Visited As A Naval Officer’s Wife Slender, brunette Mrs, Willia ‘Truesdell who is in command of F’ as a Navy wife in the China that h far II and.the years leading up to it, . she was graduated from the University of Southern Cali- | fornia with ‘a Bachelor of Laws de her plans to practice in her spe she ed in northern waters off the coas Mrs, Truesdell called the Phil- ippines, Shanghai, Chefoo and Tsingtao “‘home’’ during her hus- band’s tour of duty in the Far East. She enjoyed the leisurely days and put down roots that were far deeper than she then realized. Active Social Life She was interested in many of the oriental arts, including flower arrangement, and she made many) ‘trips to the temples, palaces and ancient landmarks of a still more ancient land, She read in transla- ‘tion the philosophers and poets of \China. This, however, was relagat- led to what time she could give to jit in the midst of an active social life among the international diplo- matic group as well as Tepresen- tatives of the Services of the vari- ous countries. In the days that passed quickly land pleasantly, Mrs. Truesdell found an increasing number of cul- tural ties with the orient, but little time to pursue these interests un- til several years later. At the outbreak of World War) ll, Mrs, Truesdell» was living in Hawaii and was in her house with her two small sons, Bill and John lat the time of the Japanese attack. | Her husband was at sea. Like so so many others, she mistook the! jsounds of war for practice flights| and bombing drills. When she did Tealize that it was enemy action, she had a feeling of being isolated and cut off from the world. The! island seemed very small and the! people living there felt alone and |‘on their own” in the hours before} jaid and reinforcements could be) jfushed io them. i] Leaves Hawaii | Martial law was clamped down on Hawaii, and Mrs. Truesdell and/ her sons were evacuated to the! ‘States along with the other Naval| dependents. As the ship sailed in |the blackout, it was aloha not} ito Hawaii, but to life as it was known by the “Old Navy” on far flung stations. | Virginia Truesdell has brought | many things with her to her Key | West home that are redolent of the | \Far East, Her collection of jewelry | lineludes bracelets, which are her| favorite ornsment, from China, | {Bankok and Japan. There are flow-| er arrangemeuats throughout the ‘large, high-ceilinged Quarters as- signed to Capt. Truesdell which reflect the feeling for the flowers;: 1 | m H.

Sophisticated Taste Her clothes have the simple sophistication of a woman ac- customed to mingling with people of the world. In each costume she uses one accent of red, her favoite color. She explains her attraction, for that color because of its vib- rant, living, and lifting qualities. She associates it with decorati on many of the temples and shrines in China and Japan. With her older son in a New England preparatory school and John, who lives at home, rapidly growing into a very self sufficient young man, Mrs, Truesdell finds the leisure to pick up the threads of the interests that began while she lived in China. She reads and studies seriously in the history, Philosophy and comparative reli- gions of the Far East. On the lighter side is her _rec- ognized ability as hostess at her |gay, informal parties, her love of the bright, lilting Strauss waltzes, Gilbert ard Sullivan music and Victor Herberts compositions. She sews expertly and designs many of her clothes. Her cooking has a cos- mopolitan flair from the recipes she has garnered from many coun- tries of the world. | Her varied talents and the many | facets of her personality make Vir- ginia Truesdell interesting not only to Navy people but to her Key West friends as well.
