Visit Country

The girls visited many of Den
marks smaller towns and rural dis
tricts. The trains are small and
slow, and as Denmark is made up
of a group Of islands travel in any
direction SON brings the sojourner
to a ferry.
They visited a cousin in quaint old
Nykobing with it's narrow, winding
cobblestone streets and it's inn where
Peter and Great stayed when he
visited Denmark; spent a week with
Mr.. Olsen's sister in lovely Svend-
borg on the island Of Fyen; went
to Kilse in Boto, the extreme south
ern point in Denmark, the home
Of their great-grandfather, where
Mrs. Olsen lived when q child.
Denmark has many old castles,
some Of them dating back to the
twelfth century. These are all In a
remarkable state Of preservation.
Those which had been in ruins have
been restored and have either been
converted into museums or are SUN
the homes of Danish nobility.
One Of the most interesting OF the
many visited by the Olsen sisters is
Fredericksburg castle, in the north
ern part of the island Of Sjslland.
It IA now q museum Of seventy-hve

rooms, each Don depicting a period
of Danish history.
Many Meals
The Danes are a hospitable people
and hospitality in Denmark involves
the eating Of much food. I'm the
regular program for the day." said
Miss Olsen, There are six meals
Coffee and bread at 8, bread and
coffee at 10 and breakfast at IL.
This breakfast is more like u
luncheon as they serve fish and cold
meats after which they retire to the
living room for cake and coffee. At
8 in the afternoon coffee and cake
are served again; dinner is At G..
Some times we finished dinner and
started at once for another home to
spend the evening. In this case, i'm
mediately upon our arrival we would
be ushered to the dining room and
served coffee and cake. The real re-
freshments Of the evening came
about 10 o'clock"
Blue Mondays are far apart in
Denmark. Wash day, or wash week
as it. might more properly be termed,
comes only once in six weeks. 1t Is
made a big event and is of several
DAYS duration.

No Haste

Another characteristics" contin-
ued Miss Olsen, "and one which con.
trasts sharply with our American
ways, is the absence Of all haste in
Danish daily life.
Rush hours are unheard Of in
Copenhagen. AS an example Miss
Olsen tells of the procedure in TAX
ing q street car there. 1.-THE ears
VIII seat only twenty passengers and
no more are allowed. If you are
waiting for a car, as it slows down
and the door opens, you say to the
conductor, Good day to which he
responds, Good day Then you in
quire, Might I trouble you to ask
IL there is room?' If he says, No.,
you say, Good day and the a
gees on.
But If the car is not filled, you
get on and the conductor points out
the place where you are to sit.
Handing him your fare you politely
request, Will you be so kind as to
accept this and he says. Thank
YOU and gives you a receipt, asking
in turn, will you do me the favor
to accept this?' to which you respond
gratefully, Thank you
"Try this over on your WI stree
car"
Miss Olsen visited the schools in
Copenhagen, where the school year
begins in August. She found that
one does not lightly walk into a
Danish schoolroom unannounced, but
that, In fact, a letter of Introduction
from some official is necessary be-
fore the principal Of a building will
permit visiting in the rooms. This
she secured and was amazed at the
handsome buildings and modern
equipment. Each schol has a gym
nasium, dental clinic, sewing room,
art room, stereopticon apparatus. as
sembly hall and shower baths where
every small Dane is tubbed relig-
iously twice @ week. Boys and girls
are in separate rooms, as is the Euro
pean custom, with men teachers for
the boys and ONE teachers for
the girls.

Misses Edna, EIva and
Bertha Travel in Par
ent'S Land.
by Edith NJ. Gahagan

Denmark, say the Misses Edna,
Elva and Bertha Olsen, daughters
Of Mr.. and Mrs. Edward Olsen, 101
Bosart Ave, who spent seven weeks
there recently, has justified all our
mothers and fathers glamorous
stories. We have come back en-
thusiastic about the people we met
and the places we have seen"
Except for two days in Christiana,
Norway, where they were met and
entertained by a brother of Miss
Marie Jensen of Indianapolis, the
entire seven weeks we're spent in
Denmark.
Like all European capitals, Copen-
hagen is filled with places rich in
historical associations. Under the
guidance Of relatives they spent
many days in it's art galleries,
palaces, old castles and government
buildings, and enjoyed the privilege
Of living in Danish homes.
"a characteristic Of Copenhagen
which impressed us Immediately, y
said Miss Edna Olsen, a teacher in
the Indianapolis grade schools, "was
the cleanliness Of the city. Streets
and buildings are immaculate. Eve
the poorest homes are scrupulously
scrubbed inside and out and are in
variably surrounded by flower gar
dens. Each home boasts n flag pole
and always on Sunday, at least, ev-
cry flag goes us.

if colds could be really eliminated from school. They
are far more dangerous than most parents think.
Nearly all chdrens diseases start with symptoms of
