Daughter of Prime Minister Berntsen Has Had Herself Apprenticed to a Cabinet Maker.
Copenhagen.—Every now and then Denmark sets class distinctions at naught and achieves, for an old world country, new records in democracy. Peasants become cabinet ministers nowadays without exciting much comment, but there was something of a sensation when the daughter of Ole Hansen, then minister of agriculture, went in for domestic service.
She, however, has now been outdone by Miss Anny Berntsen, daughter of the present prime minister, Mr. Klaus Berntsen, who has had herself apprenticed to a cabinet maker and is daily undertaking the ordinary work of a male apprentice. True, the cabinet maker is herself a woman, Miss Katrine Horsbol, who in her time served her apprenticeship in works where she had only male workmen as companions. Since she began business for herself she has developed a strong trade connection, and her establishment now ranks among the best in Copenhagen.
Premier Berntsen has proved an able leader of the government, his long experience in the lower house proving of the utmost value.
His daughter is engaged to be married, but he fully approves of her developing her manual and mental capabilities to the greatest extent so that she may become as efficient a cabinet maker as he is a cabinet minister.
