age relics. Later in the afternoon Erna and I took a boat ride around the famous Copenhagen harbor.

This evening Erna held a party at her home attended by 13 TVs, 5 GGs and her parents. I certainly say "Skole" to her parents who were "Mama" and "Papa" to the whole group. A wonderful pair of people who have learned to accept their "daughter" as well as their son and have reason to be proud of both. Although they couldn't talk English they were a wonderful host and hostess. Mama had made a wonderful dinner and Papa wouldn't let you stop eating, always urging more on you. It was a multilingual get together since there were a couple of German girls, 2 Swedish, 1 American and the rest Danish. So com- munication was a real mixture. I commented about how gutteral and complicated Danish seemed to be and one of the girls, herself a Dane, said, “Well, you know Virginia, Danish is not a language, it is a throat affliction.'

That evening we met with 3 of the Scottish girls (as their brothers of course) in the hotel and compared the usual notes. One of them had published several articles on the subject and we had a good discussion of what could be done further.

July 25. Took the train to Leicester. It was a long, hot, crowded and bumpy ride not to be recommended. But we were met by Pamela FE- B-1 FPE who is the guiding spirit of our British affiliate--the Beau- mont Society (named after guess who). We had dinner at the hotel she had arranged for us and she returned after dinner for a long discussion regarding FPE etc.

July 25. Took the early train to London which was very crowded. Dick had to stand all the way but a kindly conductor promoted a place for this little girl to sit in one of the compartments. Advantages?? As
