COPIES UNITED STATES STYLES FOR HOME

King Christian of Denmark has decided that the newest of his numerous residences shall be furnished in American style in every detail. The style he has selected to copy is that of the simple and efficient equipment of the average American home. He has long been an admirer of the American arts and conveniences of home-making and he has insisted that his newest house, which is situated on the Skaw, will lack none of them.

The excuse for so many residences as King Christian has in so small a country as Denmark is his fondness of keeping in touch with his people, which, he maintains, he cannot do better than by living everywhere.

The king maintains an elaborate entourage, but it is only for the entertainment of visiting sovereigns and diplomats. As for himself he lives in the most simple manner. No ruler in Europe is more easily accessible.

Recently on a visit to Naskov the king was attracted by a delicious apple pie displayed in a shop window. He went inside to buy a piece and while there bought some cake for a small boy in the shop. Later the shop woman learned the identity of her royal customer and she promptly hung out a sign announcing that her shop purveyed to the royal family of Denmark.
