Mrs. Peck spoke at the outset of 
the city of Christiania as the port 
where she and her party entered the 
country, She mentioned particular- 
ly the fact that Christiania is quite 
modern, which is a constant disap- 
pointment to travelers. During the 
summer when the speaker was in 
Norway, the great author, Ibsen, 
was a familiar figure about the 
streets of Christiania and in the 
Grand Hotel, where there was al- 
ways a special table reserved for him. 
A splendid view of the famous au- 
thor was shown and Mrs. Peck cal- 
led attention to his luxuriant white 
hair and white whiskers of which he 
was so vain. In his high silk hat, 
she said, Ibsen was said to carry a 
small mirror for the purpose of see- 
ing that his hair and whiskers were 
always in order, 
The scenic views of Norway were 
very beautiful as befits a country 
famous for its natural charms. There 
were wonderful views of the fjords, 
streams and mountains, which are so 
numerous there. One was impres- 
sed with the number of graceful cas- 
cades and mighty falls there, By far 
the most beautiful pictures were 
those of the midnight sun and Mrs. 
Peck made them all the more vivid 
by quoting the well known lines of 
Bayard Taylor on that wonderful 
sight, 
The city,of Bergen was chiefly in- 
teresting as the native home of Ole 
Bull, one of the greatest violinists 
the world has ever known. ‘There 
was a very good view of his city 
home and of his summer home, 
which was just outside of Bergen. 
The picture of the great artist was 
shown and his sensitive face spoke 
plainly of the spirit which has made 
his music deathless. Ole Bull, him- 
self, said that he gained his inspir- 
ation from the great beauties of his 
native land and he has spoken very 
highly of the unsurpassable sights of 
Norway. Indeed, one cannot won- 
der that a country with such indes- 
cribable ‘scenery and beauties such 
as the wonderful midnight suns of 
Norway has produced a race which 
is uniformly courteous, thoughtful 
and industrious and artists like Ibsen 
and Ole Bull, who have made their 
country famous.
