up. -And this is my daughter.

There was a general adjournment
to the region of pushing and eon -

Frithjof had taken the travelers to

street. but throngs of pedestrians
walked leisurely along, or stood in
groups talking and laughing, the
women chiefly wearing full skirts of
dark -blue serge, short jackets to
match, and little round blue serge
hoods surmounting their clean
white caps : the men also in dark
blue with broad felt hats.
To English visitors there is an in-
describable charm 'in the primitive
simplicity, the easy informality of
the place and. Frithjof was well

"Mow mice the people look, too,

"Why, what should male us un-.

life is is great pleasure in itself,
(isn't yea think', But away in the
mountains Baur people are much'

Cyril Morgan regarded the speak-
er with a pitying eye, and perhaps
would have ,enliguteeed his absurd
idnvl ilrce and discoursed of Pall
Mall and Picadilly, had nut they
just then arrived at Holdt.'s Hotel. i
Frithjof merely waited to 'see that

him that all was exactly as- be

very well wait, and the wife too, for
the matter of that.

by the rich merchants of Bergen.:

pretty little garden, it was painted

of music floating from the house;
