Not a little trouble Is being caused
in Norway by the language question.
An exchange states that this was
strikingly illustrated at the opening
Of the storthing after tho Christmas
holidays. When the king read his
speech from the throne, which
bristled with suggestions Of reforms,
he handed the document to President
Lovland of the storthing. The latter
Is language reformer, that is, he de-
tends and practices the pure dialect
Norwegian. Accordingly he made
neat little speech in that language and
received the document from the
king. The next thing to be done was
to take q vote on tho disposition of
the speech. Now he started to use
the ordinary Norwegian-Danish Ian
guage. Hardly had he finished the first
sentence when he noticed the break.
Instead Of letting bygones be bygones
he corrected himself by repeating the
sentence in the dialect tongue. He
smiled a sort of sickly smile, while
those who listened to him keenly en-
joyed the double blunder.

Prince Aage's sudden marriage to
Countess Calvi di Berglo took the
Danish royal house in Copenhagen en-
tirely by surprise and, Of course, the
handsome young prince has had to
renounce all claims to the throne.
Prince Aage is twenty-six years old
and his wife Is the same age. She Is
4 daughter of the former Italian min
lister to Denmark and during the lat
tsr's residence in Copenhagen was a
very popular member Of Copenhagen's
fashionable society. It was at the
tennis courts where she met the young

her and married her last month. She
is said to be very housewifely wom-
an and has mastered the Danish Ian
guage. Prince Aage is singularly pop
ular in Copenhagen and when as an
ofdcer he leads the "vaktparad".

capital he is always roundly cheered.
