All the women wore hats when we were there in May. Later in the month some of the young girls came out with- out hats but none were kerchiefs. The people are very fond of sunning themselves and there are many benches set up to catch the sun. and people sit there with their faces turned up to the sun. and rest. There are also many out~ door refreshment places where beer and coffee are served. Food in Oslo is good but quite ex- pensive. and there is not the variety of fruits and vegetables as there is in Canada. Breakfast may consist of bread and cheese with coffee or beer. Lunch is usualy large open-faced sandâ€" wiches. 43
