Gallery, but as it wasn't very large and had no noted pictures in, we didn't stay very long. Then we went to Thorvaldsen's Museum. This was very interesting and all the sculpture work there was done by Thorvaldsen. There are some very beautiful statues in it. That afternoon we went to the Zoological Gardens where I saw lots of animals which I have heard and read about, but Then we that I have never seen before. walked through some real pretty parks back to the hotel. I suppose you know there is not so much to see in Copenhagen as in Berlin. The next day we went to another pretty park and the harbor, and then to a large We passed the forest near the sea shore.

We arrived in Stockholm the next morning. We had a sleeping car. The first I have seen over here, and they are nothing to compare with the ones at home, but much better than sitting up all night. This afternoon we went through the king's palace, and it was real nice. There is a museum there of old costumes and I never saw such funny dresses in my life as I saw there. The guest's rooms were lovely and I wouldn't mind being a guest there myself. That evening after meeting we took a walk through some of the parks. Stockholm is a very beautiful city, and has the loveliest location of any city I have seen. You can't go anywhere without crossing It is called bridges or taking ferry boats. the Venice of the North. The next day we went first up on an elevator and got a lovely view of the city, and then we went through an old church where some of the kings and queens of Sweden are buried. It was a very dismal place. Then we took a ride around the city and saw the residences, which were all real pretty. Then we went to the north muIt is seum, which was very interesting. full of old costumes, furniture, kettles, etc., like are used in some of the country parts of Sweden at present. From there we took a boat and went around one of the islands; it is the prettiest boat ride I have ever had. Both shores were covered with forests and the water was very smooth, so it made a beautiful sight. The next day we went to the National Museum which is full of pictures, and statues. There were no noted pictures, but some very fine work. That afternoon we went out to the king's summer palace, which is on one of the islands not far from the city. We went through the palace and walked around the grounds. I liked the palace very much but I liked the grounds better.
