Julian Ralph, who made a tour of the
European. continent, found it difficult to
master the Danish language. 1.-The
Danes" he wrote from Copenhagen, "are
not satisfied with the alphabet. They have
invented twenty seventh letter, which is
an o with a mark run through it, diago-
nally, from north northwest to south south
east, and this amazing letter comes in
mostlof the words. They are so proud of
it that they paint it,, all by itself, in heroic
sizes Oh thesfrent of sthe second stories of
theitram- cars.
81 always used to think that when a
British. or Russian orSwedish prince came
here forget iaswife all he had to say was,
Will yjou MARY lmje?' But I didn +
know great deal of4Danish then In fact,
only knew the word 'tandstikker, which
means 'rancidsmatch'-at least I think SO
after using those matches all over the
world. Since i shave come here I've not
only discovered the o with a skewer
through it, but 1 find that the language is
SO impossible that the Danes themselves
