strange, tho, that up TO the time we
struck Bergen everything had been alb
solutely fresh and sweet about all the
rooms we had occupied, from those
at the hotel at Molde, to the simplest
and plainest of the accommo odation
afforded by the little inns visited during
our driving trip. The only way we
could account for it at all was by sup
posing that the standards of good
housekeeping were not so high in Ber-
gen and Christiania as in smaller towns
and country places.

ut the former, during the long working
hours of the Norwegian Summer, are
always to be found, / imagine, some of
the many clerks with a map before him
--or her, going over proposed trip with
tourist. The intelligent bright-faced
young women one finds at these tables
are quite as efficient as the men, but, /
as it happened on this occasion, we did
our business with a certain dark-eyed,
dark-mustached man, with a rather
Eaturnine cast of countenance, who
didn't look a bit like a Norwegian. Mr..
Bennett himself is a blond, cookbook
ing, and a very courteous, clever gen.
tleman. 1t took only a few minutes to
explain to this clerk that we wanted to
go TO Brussels on a certain day. where
We wanted to stop off. etc, and he told
us 10 call the following morning for
our tickets and directions.
We spent the rest of the morning
wandering rather aimlesly about, going
tnto some of the shops, and admiring
everything, for Christiania certainly is
lovely city. 1t is beautifully situated
at the foot of pine-clad hills (no snowy
peaks anywhere in sight, however) and
at the end of the Christiania Fjord
1t is as clean as IL can be, its public
buildings are handsome. and many of
the private residences give evidence of
much wealth. Some Of these are sur
rounded by extensive parks, filled with
beautiful tIl !, Walks ana drives, and
quite remind Jne of the splendid Eng
lish country estates on a small scale.
A town has stood on about this same
site ever since 1850, but the modern
city was founded by Christian ". of
Denmark in 1924, who named it after
himself. In the old, medieval town,
| which was called Oslo, James /. of Eng
land married Anne of Denmark in
1859. The population of Christiana in
1903 was nearly $780, 900. and l should
guess its present population to be
about 250,000, judging from its size.
Herrings and other fish, beer, ice, tim
Der, packing paper and paving stones
are its principal exports. Statues of
Norway's kings and famous men con-
front you every little while in going
over the city, and, as before remarked,
the effect of the whole is most pleasing.
While Bergen was, of course, a big
place in comparison to the other Nor
wegian towns we had visited, it had.
unlike Christiania, little of the finish of
the city in its appearance.
