The scintillating list of pastimes might be extended with descriptions of fun houses and thrill rides, rich and succulent foods, colorful displays of fireworks and glass-blowing exhibitions; but I must limit these interminable joys by mentioning at last, but hardly least, the parade of the Royal Guard which, in this wonderland of Tivoli, is done all in lovely miniature. Instead of the serious regality of adult guards at Amelienborg Castle, we see mere youngsters approach along the tree-lined path riding rhythmically to martial music, stern upon their small white horses and greeted with exclamations of delight by the monarch-minded crowd. Crisp orders are shouted by the captain, the quaintly regal guards draw gold sabres swiftly and salute, and their boyish faces be. neath the large fur headgear are full of pride.

In Danish bars the clientele usually appears well dressed-with buttoned shirts, coats, and often ties. No levis are worn except by Americans.
