l was in pinch when raised my
baton for 'Vart Land and the sing
ers were also in a pinch, for they

were showered with flowers from the

The newspapers have devoted con-
siderable space to dance which
Prince Wilhelm attended at Arkosund.
When the prince landed from the
gunboat Urd neither music nor a
dancing hall had been procured. But
it took very little time to get both.
While the party was waiting for the
fiddler the prince entered the floor
| with a girl and began to dance to his
own whistling, and when he grew
| tired of whistling he asked the girls
to sing dancing tunes. In few
minutes there were several couples
on the floor, and now the prince
| began to teach the girls a new dance.
He laughed and danced and gave in
structions, and under such circum-
| stances the girls became so docile
that they soon learned the new dance.

party have disavowed this product.
