The time was in or about the year 1544, when the Emperor Charles V. ruled the Netherlands, and our scene the city of Leyden. Any one who has visited this pleasant town knows that it lies in the midst of wide, flat meadows, and is intersected by many canals filled with Rhine water. But now, as it was winter, near to Christmas indeed, the meadows and the quaint gabled roofs of the city lay buried beneath a dazzling sheet of snow, while, instead of boats and barges, skaters glided up and down the frozen surface of the canals, which were swept for their convenience. Outside the walls of the town, not far from the Morsch poort, or gate, the surface of the broad moat which surrounded them presented a sight as gay as it was charming. Just here one of the branches of the Rhine ran into this moat, and down it came the pleasure-seekers in sledges, on skates, or afoot. They were dressed, most of them, in their best attire, for the day was a holiday set apart for a kind of skating carnival, with sleighing matches, such games as curling, and other amusements.

THE ARTIST. For most, the name Jobs is synonymous with richly blooming fabrics that have been among the classics of Swedish textile art since the 1940s. Less well known is that Lisbet Jobs (1909–61) and her sister Gocken Jobs (1914–95) first trained as potters. As two independent artists they then worked side by side and their works gained international fame. Aurora was designed for textiles by Lisbet Jobs in 1956. The pattern was composed in Leksand, Dalarna, where the sisters shared a studio. It is inspired by the surrounding flowering meadows and flower beds. Sketches for the pattern can be found in the National Museum's archives in Stockholm, Sweden. THE FINAL WORD. As William Morris said, "Have nothing in your houses that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful."

Lisbeth hatte einen Traum. Sie wollte gro hinaus, eine kultivierte Dame werden. Das war nicht so einfach in den f nfziger Jahren des letzten Jahrhunderts. Die Moralvorstellungen waren streng und eine eigene berufliche Karriere f r die meisten Frauen weder erreichbar noch vorstellbar. Aber Lisbeth meinte, in Kurt den Mann gefunden zu haben, der sie aus dem engen Milieu ihres Elternhauses entf hren w rde. Zun chst schien auch alles ganz nach ihren W nschen zu verlaufen. Aber diese Ehe entwickelte sich anders als sie es sich ertr umt hatte. Kurt zeigte mehr Interesse an der gemeinsamen Tochter als an seiner Frau. Aber Lisbeth wollte sich dadurch ihren Traum nicht zerst ren lassen. Es w rde schon alles nicht so schlimm sein, wenn man nur dar ber schweigen w rde. Sie schottete sich von der Welt ab, zog sich in eine Traumwelt zur ck und meinte, in der Tochter doch noch ihre eigenen W nsche wahr werden lassen zu k nnen.
