to Qnet S. Carts war Faria in theFWl is far short of to* glamour that it ia generally repre sented to hate in the Spring and French women are not as amafOy dressed as those in this country. Those are the opinions of lira. Carl Hides of WaJatonhurg, who accom panied hot husband when he repre sented the Flue-Curei Tobacco Sta bilisation Corporation at a world wide conference held recently in Amsterdam. Mr. and Un. Hicks re turned October 6—almost a month te the day from the time they left New York aboard the English liner, the Queen Mary, bound for a rather brief, but comprehensive tour of sev eral European countries—the longest pane being the seven-day period in which the men-folk were discussing the tobacco situation. From the time they boarded the luxury liner, it was a delightful ex perience. Mrs. Hicks said the ship had every convenience and luxury a person could imagine, excellent cui sine, unusual menus, such as baked alaska and sauces made with rare wines, seven cuuibc uuiucio first class passengers had to dress in formal attire every night except the first nightou'. The Queen Mary had as many exclusive shops as most cities afford, a swimming pool, a gymnasium, movies, a lovely ball room and good music. Mr. and Mrs. Hicks, in company with other North Carolinians, among whom were, Mr. and Mrs. Con Lanier of Greenville, visited England, France, Germany, and Holland. Mrs. Hicks liked Holland better than any other country that she visited. She *found England suffering more from the after-affects of World War II than any other country except Ger many. Food was not good in Eng and and there was not much variety / of choice. There were no nylon hose or any other nylon clothing. The children seemed frail and pale, es pecially compared with the robust youngsters of Holland. The English grew beautiful flowers, dahlias, chrysanthemums, and especially beautiful roses. The English like to garden and many'middle class peo ple own small plots of land with a rustic one-room dwelling, comparable to American woodsheds, where they spend the week ends; flower and vegetable gardening. The people's loyalty to the royal family Was amaz ing. Ailing King George flew home from a vacation for his recent opera tion, while the party was in England, and they were surprised to see the crowds that gathered from the coun tryside and stood Tor hours in the PARAMOUNT I THEATRE 1 FARMVILLE, N.

However the shopping district was one item. One shop had onl? hand made Mouses, >18.00 and up; another sold only handmade gtoves f4.00 and of exquisitely soft skin. There was also perfume shops; the perfumes were cheaper than in the W. S., pri marily, because of the tax involved in transportation. Mr*. Hicks thought the French more mercenary than people in other countries and said Americans had to be cautious or they might find items they had not received added to their MBs.

The women do all the heavy farm work in (Ger many, even the very aged women toil,in the fields. They have adea perate expression in the eyes and Mrs. Hicks says she believes they re sent the Americans and she also stated that she could understand why they would do so—they see only the best dressed and best fed Americans, making it appear they hare been dealt an unfair fate. * Mrs. Hicks found Holland a coun try of beautiful flowers, carnations, chrysanthemums, exceptionally love ly dahlias and dwarf scarlet sage, that is used generously in borders; of picturesque canals; of healthy, fair complexioned, blue-eyed robust and friendly people. It seemed that everyone in Holland had a big dog, either boxer or large black french poodle. The family life was whole some. The party attended a fair while in Holland and Were especially impressed with the glassware, clear, well cut and often shown in colon, such as green and amber. Mm.
