Supplement 169 Thus, Ellen Key plans and dreams of the futiire of Strand. In her mind's eye, she sees the white house filled with guests from the world of tenements and noisy factories, and, with them, she enjoys the blue Wettem, the sun, the air, the light, and the luxuriant green. And thus she is able to enjoy herself, the pre- sent in the thought of the future, her own futiu'e at Strand, and Strand's future when she is no more. In the beginning of 1900, Ellen Key moved away from Stockholm, after having given up her work as teacher and lecturer. For years she travelled in Germany, France, Italy, years so long and many that we at home feared that she meant to desert the land of her fathers for good. Those who knew Ellen Key, however, knew that she would return, sooner or later, because, when it came to making a home, she would always remember that the home where she had been bom stood on Swedish soil, that one of the blue lakes of Sweden gleamed between the Swedish elms and oaks which surrounded her beloved Simdsholm. For this reason, if for no other, Ellen Key had to find in Sweden the shore which would be her port. And she did return; and when she came back she was renowned in Europe and America.
