There Was No Arrest.


There is no truth in the story oDcocted
by an imaginative French journal 81 about
the placing under arrest OF Prince Charles
al Denmark and his charming young wifs.
Princess Maud % Waies. The idea that the
King and Queen Of Denmark are indignant
with their granddaughter for having won
her cousins affections. and spoiled the
chance OF his marrying the yoang Queen
% Holland. Is utterly absurd. Princess
Maud who is deeply attached Ia her
mother. has enjoyed during her whole life
q privacy and freedom from etiquette such
as fan 10 the lot % few royal personages.
In the 9un and somewhat formal stUn@-
uhere OF the old-fashtoned Danish court
her thoughts may naturally turn 20 the
simple and happy days az Sand-lnghaf1.
The only real difficulty. however. has
arisen IN reference 70 the quarters assigned
10 the yourg couple IN = ROYAL palace
where there can be- no d0inesf!city and 10
