Copenhagen, Denmark, Nov. 25.-lt
is a distance of Is hours by rail be-
tween Christiania and Copenhagen.
-Four hours out from Christiania we
cross the border and enter Sweden.
There is short stop at Gothenburg,
the CITY famous for its system of deal
ing with the liquor problem; then the
Journey continues south along the
coasa to HclsingbOrs. Here we are in
tho Rich and popuious Swedish district
of Sltaanc: the district from which
have, come marry of the prominent
Swettes of Minneapolis.
HeEingborg is as beautiful and
clean little city of some 10000 in
habitA uts as can be found anywhere
In the world. The city is built on the
strip of sand down by the water side
and eNte S,ds eas t" the forest covered
hills. Au the houses arc large and
substantial and every street is kept
clean.
At the east end of the main street
an artistic stone stairway and also n
lift take ONE up to the top of the hill.
where there, is Il. splendid park with
Il botanical garden: also a music pa
vilion. And be Su edes. being extreme
ly musical, Cill tolerate nothing but
he best.

From lTeisiI sbsors it is only u mile
ny ferry across, tn G sound to the DAN

VT the three Scandinavian countries.
It is the Center o.. learning and of all
tho arts in northern Europe. No
other city oE itsi size has greater
schools of all kinds nor inner museums,
libraries and art institutes. Every
stranger Of course visits the famous
ThorwaidScn museu NJ and "Nor Frue''
church. which contains many of the
great scuiptors' best works.
Denmark must strike the visitor as
being wonderfully tIlppy country. In
Denmark there are no Very great for
tunes, and there is NO poverty. Well
informed persons say THAT in no other
country are the circumstances Of the
neople so uniformly .:e,od And it Is
said that OF ali people the citizens of
Copenhagen are those who hest know
how to enjoy themselves. They are
Wonderfully cordial aIAi ,iovial.
OF all things the numerous amuse-
ment resorts are most in evidence to
Il stranger. The one dominant feature
at the heafl OF the city IS the TiV-
OIL" with its constant carnival of fun.
1t is the only genuine one OF it's kind,
all other similar resorts being but
tame limitations. Grouped about the
''Tivoli" are the splendid city hall, the

handsomely on a mad career of diss-
