Or perhaps you are a doctor, or a baroness? If so, you can take pride in the fact that you are a modern representative of a well-established Schatzalp demographic. And if you don\u2019t belong to any of the categories above, then congratulations on expanding the Schatzalp community!<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Returning to the guest list: we find that the census has gone up, rising from 100 guests to 105 in the course of the previous two weeks, and this despite the fact that there were nine departures. <\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Those leaving were:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><span lang=\"en-US\">Miss Nina Corry (England)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span lang=\"en-US\">Frau K. Olimsky (Germany)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span lang=\"en-US\">Herr Dr F. Olimsky (Germany)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span lang=\"en-US\">Baron d\u2019Hooghvorst (Belgium)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span lang=\"en-US\">Baroness d\u2019Hooghvorst (Belgium)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span lang=\"en-US\">Miss Dorothy White (Calcutta, India) <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span lang=\"en-US\">Mme U. Troianos (Romania)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span lang=\"en-US\">Mrs Katherine Pittar (England) <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span lang=\"en-US\">Mons Candido Sequeira (Portugal)<br \/><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Those of you who read the previous blog post will notice immediately that Baron d\u2019Hooghvorst did indeed depart, and the timing strongly suggests that his sister, the Baroness, had come to Schatzalp specifically to accompany him to his son Emmanuel\u2019s wedding \u2014 a happy occasion, no doubt, and I am pleased that he was able to go! <\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span lang=\"en-US\">In fact, the majority (5) of those departing had been at the sanatorium only a short time, and were clearly not patients themselves. Mr Sequeira left Mr Sequeira Cantinho behind (I assume they were father and son), and Mrs Pittar left Mr Pittar. Mr and Mrs Olimsky left together (I can confirm that Mrs Olimsky did not leave \u2018feet first\u2019, as the saying goes, because her name reappears on a later list). <\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Nina Corry and Dorothy White both intrigue me \u2014 Miss Corry, as of 14 July 1939, was the guest with the longest period of uninterrupted residency, and she had been at Schatzalp since at least January 1937! Miss White, whose stay was quite brief, came all the way from Calcutta. But now, suddenly, they have gone without leaving us a forwarding address. It seems particularly ominous with respect to Miss Corry, but who knows? Let us hope they made their exits under good and happy circumstances!<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span lang=\"en-US\">As for arrivals, they outnumbered the departures 14 to 9. So quite an influx, really! Again, family connections predominate: Herr Dr van Haeften comes hard on the heels of Frau van Haeften. Perhaps something had prevented him from accompanying her initially.<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Mr and Mrs Monk were, I guess, either a married couple or a son and his mother. The L\u2019Honneuxs come to us as a little family group: M. Charles, Mme Gabrielle, and Mlle <\/span><span lang=\"fr-FR\">Fran\u00e7oise<\/span><span lang=\"en-US\">. I am able to confirm through her presence on later lists, <\/span><span lang=\"en-US\"><i>sans<\/i><\/span><span lang=\"en-US\"> parents, that Mlle was the sufferer, just as one would assume. But more on that topic in future installments. Ah, how I\u2019d love to have photos of them all \u2014 faces to put with the names, which can seem so abstract. Are there any van Haeftens, Monks, or L\u2019Honneuxs reading this? That would be fantastic! <\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Pierre and Amande Cuypers have now arrived, or rather, have returned since they also appear on earlier lists, where their home is identified as Java. He was the sufferer, and she was not herself in continuous residence, though she pops up from time to time, so I think it is safe to say that she did not go all the way home! I wonder if they spent any of their free time with their countrywoman, Emmy Lion? Mynheer Peeperkorn would perhaps be pleased with this little contingent of his countrymen!<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Finally, both the Marquise de <\/span>Benicarl\u00f3 <span lang=\"en-US\">and Mme Gloria Fernandez Villota were there in connection with the Marquis de <\/span>Benicarl\u00f3<span lang=\"en-US\">. But I will say no more about them for the moment, because the Marquis is the subject of our current biographical profile, which you will find at the end of the blog, right before the guest list.<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span lang=\"en-US\">The Davos<\/span><span lang=\"de-DE\">er Bl\u00e4tter<\/span><span lang=\"en-US\"> very helpfully published guest statistics in the 28 July issue, from which we learn that the weather had been \u201cunfriendly\u201d for that time of year, as, one might add, as had the general atmosphere in Europe. But numbers remained remarkably steady. On 20-21 July 1938 there had been 3446 overnight guests in Davos, and on that same date in 1939 there were 3400. Of that 3400, 2044 were Swiss. Germany provided the largest contingent of foreign visitors (706), followed by the Netherlands (235) and England (130). That, as you can see, did not match up with Schatzalp\u2019s ratio of nationalities, where the English edged out the Germans, and the Dutch were only number 9 out of 20. But it\u2019s no mystery why there were so many Dutch in Davos and so few at Schatzalp, to wit, they had their own sanatorium. Indeed, we learn from the same issue of the <\/span>Bl\u00e4tter<span lang=\"en-US\"> that the Dutch National Sanatorium had just laid the cornerstone for a new building extension, since: \u201cfor a number of years past the applications for admission\u2026 have been so numerous that it was quite impossible to house all that wished to come\u201d. <\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span lang=\"en-US\">So, were Mrs Kleinhoonte, Miss Opsomer, and the newly arrived van Haeftens at Schatzalp because they could not gain admittance in a timely fashion to the Dutch Sanatorium? Possibly, though there were certainly good reasons for preferring Schatzalp \u2014 it\u2019s luxury, its elite clientele, and its world-renowned chief surgeon.<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Incidentally, with respect to nationalities, I came across an interesting statistic while doing some research this week. Apparently Lisbon had the highest tuberculosis death rate of any major city in Europe in the year 1935, with 432 deaths per 100,000. The next highest was Athens with 409.* Of course, we don\u2019t know how many, if any, of the Schatzalp guests from Portugal came from Lisbon, or whether that appalling mortality rate had decreased by 1939, but I still found it noteworthy. What remains unclear is why there were so few Portuguese at the other Davos sanatoria in comparison with Schatzalp. <\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span lang=\"en-US\">But moving on from the Dutch and Portuguese\u2026 the Davos British Association held its General Meeting on 8 August at the British Vice-Consulate, which occupied the Haus am Kurpark. Undoubtedly it ended up being quite a solemn occasion given the worsening situation in Europe. For the time being, however, Davos remained a popular cure and recreational destination for the English, who had their own little section of the city, including St Luke\u2019s Anglican Church and the Hotel Angleterre. The latter, unfortunately, no longer exists, but apparently it was the place to be on 1 August 1939! Announcements were made in both German and English that the hotel would be holding its \u201cannual summer Golf Club Dance on the evening of Confederation Day\u201d with dancing due to begin at 9 p.m., for which purpose the \u201cParsenn Orchestra\u201d had been engaged. <\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span lang=\"en-US\">I have not been able to find anything out about the orchestra as yet, but the Angleterre will figure prominently in an upcoming installment since it was the hotel in which Grand Duke Dmitri spent his first night in Davos before securing a place at Schatzalp.<\/span><span lang=\"en-US\">Meanwhile, I don\u2019t imagine many of the Schatzalp guests managed to slip away either to the Golf Club Dance or the celebration on the repurposed ice rink.<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span lang=\"en-US\">French-speaking readers found the same Confederation Day information in the Courrier de Davos, which also featured a charming article about Davos, originally published in l<\/span><span lang=\"fr-FR\">\u2019<\/span>Ind\u00e9<span lang=\"fr-FR\">pendance Belge<\/span><span lang=\"en-US\">. Apparently M. Fast, the editor-in-chief of that newspaper, was a big fan of Davos, writing:<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201cA<span lang=\"en-US\"> long street, flanked by a multitude of shops. The spirit of a small town. Hotels, guesthouses, bakeries \u2014<\/span> <span lang=\"en-US\">that\u2019s how Davos looks at first glance. But the real Davos can be found in the wonderful Parsenn region \u2014 Schatzalp, <\/span>Weissfluhoch<span lang=\"en-US\"> \u2014 which can be reached by the longest funicular railway in the world. These are the wild, laughing valleys, where it is lovely to be borne along through the sunlight in antique carriages. The real Davos is the lake, without a ripple on its surface\u2026 It\u2019s the bright light that brings joy and a wonderful sense of well-being\u201d<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Well, my translation is certainly not as elegant as the French original, but I share the author\u2019s sentiments, especially with respect to the special quality of light in Davos. For me, the indescribable uniqueness of both time and light is a big part of the \u201cmagic\u201d on the Magic Mountain. That requires some explanation, I suppose, but I could scarcely provide it without writing an entire essay, so for the moment I will simply refer readers to Thomas Mann, though you have undoubtedly had your own experience of those twin phenomena while sitting out on your balcony early in the morning, or going for a pre-dinner hike in the twilight.<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Turning now to this week\u2019s biographical sketch, allow me to introduce you to Don Juan <\/span><span lang=\"es-ES\">Guillermo P<\/span>\u00e9rez Sanmill\u00e1<span lang=\"es-ES\">n y Fontanals, II Marquis <\/span><span lang=\"en-US\">de<\/span> Benicarl\u00f3<span lang=\"en-US\">. I hope he was able to enjoy himself on Confederation Day in 1939. He had his wife with him, which must have made the occasion that much more pleasant (at least I will assume so), and there was undoubtedly a grand celebratory dinner for the patients at Schatzalp, who could not make it to the Hotel Angleterre or the big ice rink. Perhaps they dined outside and admired the bonfires across the valley. <\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span lang=\"en-US\">The third member of the little <\/span>Benicarl\u00f3<span lang=\"en-US\"> family group, Mme Gloria Fernandez Villota, was apparently a relative of the Marquise, n<\/span><span lang=\"fr-FR\">\u00e9e <\/span><span lang=\"en-US\">Maria del Pilar Fernandez Villota.<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span lang=\"en-US\">We don\u2019t know Guillermo\u2019s birthdate, but his father, Don Juan Perez San Millan y Miquel was born in 1868, and became the 1st Marquis de <\/span>Benicarl\u00f3<span lang=\"en-US\"> in 1905 by royal decree. He was a civil engineer who focused on large, water-related projects like bridges and canals. But beyond his profession, he was also a deputy in the Cortes Generales, a senator for Valencia, and a gentleman of the chamber at the royal court. <\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Guillermo was born in Valencia, and does not seem to have followed in his father\u2019s footsteps as an engineer or a politician, but he did surpass him at court, becoming a Knight of the Holy Chalice of Valencia and in 1928 a \u201cmayordomo de semana\u201d to Alfonso XIII. The latter was a traditional position that went back to the reign of the Habsburgs. There were no fixed number of majordomos, and the only requirement was that the appointee must be an individual of \u201chigh social position\u201d. Without knowing the details, I am inclined to equate Spanish majordomos with British equerries and Russian <\/span><span lang=\"de-DE\">fl\u00fcgel<\/span><span lang=\"en-US\">-adjutants, the latter of which would serve the Tsar for 24 hours at a time as personal assistants. It does not seem likely that the Marquis\u2019s stay at Schatzalp overlapped even briefly with that of Baroness Pauline de Hooghvorst, so the two of them could not compare notes about their service as attendants of Alfonso XIII and Princess <\/span>Cl\u00e9<span lang=\"it-IT\">mentine <\/span><span lang=\"en-US\">of Belgium, respectively, but the Marquis did have certain things in common with the soon-to-arrive Grand Duke Dmitri Romanov, who had attended Nicholas II as a <\/span>fl\u00fc<span lang=\"sv-SE\">gel-adjutant<\/span><span lang=\"en-US\">. If the two men spent any time talking, the most likely subject of their conversation would have been Alfonso XIII. Dmitri was quite fond of the Spanish King, who was particularly kind to him after the revolution. When Alfonso visited London in 1919, he and Dmitri spent a fair amount of time together. But, for purposes of full disclosure I must just add that Dmitri was even friendlier with Alfonso\u2019s wife, Queen Victoria Eugenie. The two of them cultivated something of an amiti<\/span><span lang=\"fr-FR\">\u00e9 <\/span><span lang=\"en-US\">amoureuse during the London visit, and \u201cEna\u201d ended up giving Dmitri an expensive ring as a token of her affection, in a reverse of customary gender roles. This flirtation occurred more or less in the open, and does not seem to have bothered Alfonso, who was scarcely a faithful husband (he fathered six illegitimate children). The two men, at any rate, remained good friends.<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Of course, Alfonso, like Dmitri, was destined to become a royal exile. The Spanish monarchy was abolished in 1931, and Franco later made it clear that he did not intend to reestablish it. What all this meant for the Marquis de <\/span>Benicarl\u00f3 <span lang=\"en-US\">I cannot say. He was only a majordomo for three years before the monarchy ended, but Alfonso didn\u2019t actually abdicate until 1941, and it may be that he still served his King in some capacity. He survived tuberculosis, or whatever lung ailment had brought him to Schatzalp, dying in an automobile accident in 1975 in his native Spain. <\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Finally, as unlikely as the scenario seems, I can\u2019t resist asking if the Marquis might not have been cared for by the same large, mustachioed nurse whom Dmitri mentions in his diaries \u2014 the one who behaved suspiciously like a bodyguard. An alternative version of the story purports that the patient being guarded was a refugee from the Spanish Civil War, wanted in his native land and in danger of assassination. But, aside from his nationality, the Marquis hardly seems to fit that profile!<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span lang=\"en-US\">So that\u2019s it for the 3rd installment! I\u2019m not sure what would be the most fitting way of remembering the Marquis, the Marquise, and Mme Fernandez Villota. I was going to suggest eating some Valencia oranges, but I have just discovered that they were actually developed by a horticulturist in Mexico. So perhaps just enjoy a delicious Spanish orange of any variety on your balcony.<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Now here\u2019s the guest list:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Mme Andr\u00e9e Ferrand, France<\/li>\n<li><span lang=\"en-US\">Herr Doctor Walter Mackh, Germany<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span lang=\"en-US\">Herr Erwin Geist, Germany<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span lang=\"en-US\">Mlle Laurice Antaki, Syria<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span lang=\"en-US\">Frau Marg.
