Johanna Van Brederode
|Learns Our Way of Life
By ELENI SAKES
One day about four years
ago a tall pretty Dutch girl,
Johanna Van Brederode,
walked downtown in Washing
ton and thought to herself, in
Dutch, of course, "why do I
have to be different from the
rest of the girls here?”
Her difference amounted to
the fact that she wore her hair
in long curls, and that tor all
of her 20 years she had dressed
in the colorful costume of her
native island Marken. This is
the picturesque spot located
near Amsterdam.
She thought the people here
awfully nice and polite to ask
her each time she wore her na
tive costume, where she was
from, but still she felt it was
time for a change. "People ac
cepted me but I felt very much

i a stranger," added Johanna.
So gradually she started her
' metamorphosis into a typical
| American girl.
With spring even a Dutch
girl’s thoughts turn to pretty
American summer dresses. Jo
i nanna decided to buy a few.
Then came other acquisi
tions —medium high heels, the
i winter coat, the suits, and
dresses. But somehow Johanna
didn’t feel quite comfortable
; wearing them.
During the week Johanna
is employed by Swiss Diplo
mat Emile Rimensberger. On
her day off for the past sev
eral months Johanna has at
tended classes at Phyllis Bell
I in order to learn how to be
more at home with her Amer
ican clothes, and how to apply
her makeup so she won’t look
like a “clown." On Marken
she never wore any makeup at
all.
Now the S-root-10-inch
flaxen-haired Johanna wears
her hair in braids, and has
learned the one thing she
wanted to learn most, what
to do with her feet when sil
ting down.
Johanna likes to travel and
to meet people. But if she
settles down and goes back to
live in the peaceful fishing
village of Marken she’s going
to look for a husband without
any sisters.
Over there a girl who mar
ries a man without any sisters
inherits his mother’s beauti
fully hand-embroidered aprons,
batik caps and exquisitely
worked blouses, says Johanna.
“When I’m back in my
Marken costume,” says this
girl who once wore wooden
shoes, "I almost feel like I’m
still a girl from Marken.”
