Three Sisters Discover Denmark Delightful Little Country on Visit

Misses Edna, Elva and Bertha Travel in Parent’s Land. Ily Edith M. Galiagaa Denmark, say tho 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 mother’s and father’s glamorous stories. We have come back enthusiastic about the people wo met and tho places we havo 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 were spent in Denmark. Dike all European capitals, Copenhagen is filled with places rich in historical associations. Under the guidance of relatives they spent many days in its 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,” said Miss Edna Olsen, a teacher in the Indianaoplis grade schools, “was the cleanliness of tho city. Streets 'and buildings are immaculate. Even the poorest homes are scrupulously scrubbed inside and out and are Invariably surrounded by flower gardens. Each home boasts a flag pole and always on Sunday, at least, every flag goes us. No Haste “Another characteristic," continued Miss Olsen, “and one which contrasts 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 Oisen tells of the procedure in taking a street car there. "The cars will 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 inquire, ‘Might I trouble you to ask if there is room?’ If he says, ‘No,’ ycu say, ‘Good day,’ and the car goes on. “But if the car is not filled, you pet 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 iri turn, ‘Will you do me ihe favor to accept this?’ to which you respond gratefully, ‘Thank you.’ “Try this over on your own street 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 before 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 gymnasium, dental clinic, sewing room, art room, stereopticon apparatus, assembly hall and shower baths where every small Dane is tubbed religiously twice a week. Boys and girls are in separate rooms, as is the European custom, with men teachers for the boys and women teachers for the girls. Visit Oounrty The girls visited many of Denmark’s smaller towns and rural districts. The trains are small and slow, and as Denmark is made up of a group of Islands travel in any direction son brings tho sojourner to a ferry. They visited a cousin in quaint old Nykobing with Its narrow, winding cobblestone streets and its inn where Peter and Great stayed when he visited Denmark; spent, a week with Mr. Olsen’s sister in lovely Svondborg on the island of Fyen; went to Kilse In Boto, the extreme southern point in Denmark, the home of their great-grandfather, where Mrs. Olsen lived when a 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 nr are still the homes of Danish nobility. One of the most interesting of the many visited by tho Olsen sisters Is Fredericksberg castle, in the northern part of the Island of SJslland. It is now a museum of seventy-five

rooms, each room depicting a period of Danish history. Many Meals The Danes are a hospitable people and hospitality in Denmark involves the eating of much food. "In the regular program foV the day,” said Miss Olsen, “There are six meals Coffee and bread at 8, bread and coffee at 10 and breakfast at 12. This breakfast is more like our luncheon as they serve fish and cold meats after which they retire to the living room for cake and coffee. At 3 in the afternoon coffee and cake are served again; dinner is at 0. Some times we finished dinner and started at once for another home to spend the evening. In this case, immediately upon our arrival we would he ushered to the dining room and served coffee and cake. The real refreshments of the evening came about 10 o’clock.” Blue Mondays are far apart in Denmark. IV ash day, or wash week as it. might more properly be termed, comes only once In six weeks. It is made a big event and is of several days duration.
