D.C.Womon Finds Copenhagen
IA CHARMING and Clean Place

THE point Of greatest interest on
che Danish coast is gloomy Kroberg
Castle at Elsinore, made famous by
Shakespeare as the home of Ham
let, the melancholy Dane, and a
mecca for tourists.
II am being taken into the hearts
and homes of my more than so
relatives in and around Copenhagen,
who are eager to hear first hand
as to how my mother had it in
frontier America to which she went
60 years ago, and never again re-
turned to her native land.
Copenhagen is charming, it is
beautiful, and it is Immediately
clean. Many magnificent green
rooted public structures, churches,
castles and museums raise their
stately heads among the less stately
red-tile roofs Of business structures.
From the Round Tower, which has
a spiral ramp leading to the top,
there is fine bird's-eye view of
this Paris of the north. Up this
ramp Peter the Great of Russia is
supposed to have driven a fiery span
of horses.
Denmark is rightfully proud of
her artists and their art treasures
are everywhere, the larger ones In
museums, with many average homes
boasting statuettes and original
paintings.
Lack of Electricity.
Most of the differences between
the everyday life of the people in
Denmark and in the United States
are directly attributable to one
thing: The lack of fuel and power
in Denmark. Electricity is brought
from Sweden; so it is expensive
Coal and gas have to be imported
The visitor from the United States
is impressed by the small number
of automobiles, but bicycles art

conceivable purpose. Every member

A letter from Miss Jespersen writ
ten from the home of Eli Paulsen,

impressions aboard ship and of
Danish life.
Breakfasts were not so different
from our American ones-fruit,
cereal, bacon, eggs, only the hot
toast was missing and in its place
was a great variety of bread and
rolls. 1t was not until we disem-
barked in Copenhagen that I real
lied Denmark's lack of oranges and
grapefruit. The "smorgasbord" was,
of course, the luncheon feature with
its predominance of delicious meats,
picked fish and cheeses. The item
that aroused the most curiosity
among the Americans was tartar,
an uncooked hamburger patty served
with the raw yolk of an egg in a
half shell. My curiosity did not
extend to the point of tasting it.
Breads of all varieties aboraded at
all meals, except dinner, when po-
tatoes cooked in several styles took
their place, so it is small wonder

instead, they prefer their ale; MOI

The housing shortage is as acute
as our own. Social legislation, old
age pensions. disqualification, un-
employment insurance, day nurser-
les for children whose parents are
working, and successful co-op-

administration of which the Danes
are proud. After my two weeks in
