But there was something else going there
I'm afraid lost my fleeing glimpse at the roya
couple looking at an elderly Norwegian-born lady
You see, there was much on her face. A mingled
awe, thrill, Renaissance, homeland. In that min
ute that she saw the faces of the Prince and the
Princess, she went back to Norway. I could tel
from the vacant stare in her eyes, the puzzled ool
when she left the scene. In that brief instant
she had recaptured the happiness of childhood
home in foreign land. But that made her nc
less American than native-born sons. Her love
for childhood home could not be severed by any
nation-love it though she may. Somehow
found much more to be viewed in her face than in
the faces of the royal pair. We American born
ones have put exclamation points behind our home
towns. We should do it too if were born abroad
It's the same quality. Love of childhood haunts is
magnified in the memory of years.

back in the days when only three years were re-
