Fairy Tale City
Waits For A Prince
COPENHAGEN, the fairy-tale city where Hans Andersen
wove romance round the narrow streets and twisted spires, is in a state of happy excitement over the news that Denmark's Crown Princess Ingrid is expecting her first baby. It is four years since the only daughter of the Swedish Crown Prince married the heir to the Danish Throne, so the nation's joy will be shared by Sweden. England, tos, has à share in the event, for Princess Ingrid's mother was born here, and the princess always considers herself at least half- English.
Only the outbreak of war prevented her from paying her usual late summer visit to the Duke of Connaught, her grandfather.
There is a widespread hope that Princess Ingrid'á baby will be a boy.
Much of the layette is being chosen in Eugland under the expert supervision of Princess Ingrid's British relatives.
