of Cooks arrival in Copenhagen was
flashed over the world. She was loyal 20
the claimant, and was hopeful OF a
favorable verdict from the University Of
Copenhagen
As Minister Egan and his daughter
sailed for America before the verdict was
announced, it was not until Miss Egan
arrived in New York. December q, that
she learned the decision.
Miss Egan is social favorite in Copen-
hagen, where she has made friends for
herself, and for America among the
Danes She is now visiting in Washing
ton, and will be here until February II,
when she returns TO Denmark with her
parents.
