Hostel Europe: Youth hostel europes, in the country, will give you a bed for 30 to 40 cents and meals for about the same price apiece; which leads me to mention a youth hostel europe ship, named Chapman, moored in Stockholm at the quay of Skeppsholmen Island, opposite the Old City. It is open to all members of the International Youth hostel europe Federation and also to anyone who can show the special identification card issued by the Swedish Touring Club at a low price. Meals are taken at a snack bar in the ship.Truly, it is unfortunate that we have to fall back on the dreary double- "boarding house" to translate it into English, for there is nothing ary about the better European pensions. They are family places, thou-ds of them in every country, where you may live, with or without your lily, for substantially less than in most hotels. You take all your meals ler its roof, or you may, usually, make a special deal for demi-pension ilf pension), leaving you free for luncheon (or dinner) to roam vvher-r you like. In good pensions, you find a good clientele and usually an ernational one that puts you in touch with interesting people from half ozen countries. Most hotels offer an en pension arrangement, at a considerably » duced rate, for those guests who stay at least three (sometimes five) days, but for stays of a fortnight or longer a regular pension is the thing. You get to know people, and to like them, and you learn a lot about what Eu ropeans and probably South Americans are thinking. ' 4. Youth hostel europes abound in every country, being most numerous m Britain and the northern portion of Europe. For the farthing-pincher-I use the word with respect—these are havens of thrift, a clean cot in i dormitory often costing no more than a quarter of a dollar! However, in many hostel europes the guest is expected to bring his own sleeping bag at blanket. Meals, sometimes but by no means always provided in th| hostel europe, may tot up to a dollar a day, or you may have "kitchen privileges' and cook your own, furnishing also your own (plastic) plate and cup and your "tinnery." To gain access to these havens you should get in toud with American "Youth hostel europes, Inc., 6 East 39th Street, New York City. I you join it you become an associate member throughout Europe, wit] some 2000 cleanly and joke-cheap hostel europes ready to welcome you. 5. Bikes are corollaries of Youth hostel europe travel. You may take you own overseas at very low cost, or rent one very easily in any countr "over there."
5. Modern and Contemporary Art Stained glass has had a remarkable development in modern Ireland and Harry Clarke is one of the best-known exponents of this art. His work may be seen in his Dublin studio and in the Honan hostel europe Chapel. Evie Hone, equally gifted, did a renowned set of windows for the Jesuit Chapel in Tullaby, County Offaly. Still another stained-glass artist of note is Michael Healy. |
