the Danes. The dim past appears in the great gravestones on the grounds,
copies of monuments on ancient Danish barrows.

In the entrance is a tiled lobby, with the information bureau. Beyond is
the "Garden Room," so styled because of its exquisite furnishings and
abundance of cut flowers. To the left is a reception room, done in
massive Danish decoration, with Danish woods and Danish furniture. A
handsome cabinet of mahogany and hammered silver is its most striking
piece. Other rooms also contain wonderful antique furniture. An assembly
room with a raised dais, and mural decorations suggestive of Danish
industry and commerce, is in the northeast corner. The building contains
a number of paintings by Danish masters that are of great interest and
value.

Funds for this pavilion were contributed by Danish residents of
California. The Danish Government supplied the furnishings. No
commercial displays are in the building.

France.--The Pavilion of France is a replica of the eighteenth-century
home of the Prince de Salm, at Paris, now and for more than a century
the Palace of the Legion of Honor. (p. 157.) The original building, in
the soberer mode of the French Renaissance, was of Caen stone, the
effect of which has been reproduced in the present construction. The
erection of this pavilion marks a record in work of such magnitude. On
the outbreak of the war, all thought of participating in the Exposition
was dropped; but later the American ambassador, Mr. Herrick, succeeded
in persuading the French Government to reconsider its decision. The
plans were cabled from Paris, at a cost of $10,000, and the structure
was completed in sixty days.
