twenty regular turner's, mostly from
Christiania, who represented the -;

it can be said that their performance

AGAIN. It is pity that skiing cannot
be included. as the Norwegianss would
he right at home, and the smallness OF
the troupe would in such case be evened
up by the superiority OF the pertor-
nance. King Haakon was protec-

The Easter Holidays.
The new Easter bonnet may, not be
so much of an item here as IN America,
but this year the new spring hat had I
| fair show during Easter, as the weather
has been exceptionally fine and warm
lately. While the spring has arrlVed
in earnest in the capital, hund to;as % %
people are taking to the mountains 20
! have the last taste Of winter sport:
But they have to 90 away up into the
mountain regions of Gudbrandsdale
and Valders, where snow is still plenJl-
full. In Christiania and vicinity the
winter robe has Disappeared, Even on
high hills like Egeberg and Holmen,
the city.
i According to Norwegian customs,
Easter consists of four holidays, Thurs
i dav and Friday preceding Easter Sun
day, and also the Monday following
that day. Thus for the man with TnI Leave leave
in between, it gives five continuous
DAYS of liberty, and it is therefore but
natural that as many as possible try
to take advantage Of the occasion.
Some youngsters even found the tenn
perature high enough to take their flrst
sea bath Of the year in the Chrlstlan1a
bay.
