A Danish Hunting Supper.
The tables are creaking with solid sections of brown, juicy, steaming roasts and piles of mealy potatoes enveloped in hot fog, and long white platters of whole salmon through whose tender torn skin the pink flakes and streaks of white fat look all ready for the limpid golden butter sauce which stands in the brimming full dishes near by. Tall, handsome Danish girls are running hither and thither with chicken soup for this man and hare soup for that man and extricating order from chaos on the table with a marvelous degree of skill. Good nature is rampant, and the fast delivered hearty speeches are followed by rousing, echoing cheers. Cries of 'Skol! Skol!' follow every toast in which the Yankee is mentioned, with a vigor which shows how deep and real their feelings of hospitality are, and men come from distant tables to express friendly sentiments toward America and Americans in general.—"Hopkins' Pond," by Robert T. Morris.
