   _DANISH PASTRY SCHOOL STARTS JULY 1ST._
   The Danish Culinary Studio, 146 Fifth avenue, New York City, is scheduled
to open July 1st, and applicants are being enrolled for the first course.
The school has been founded by L. C. Klitteng, who came to this country from
Denmark in December, 1915, and has been responsible for most of the
popularity which Danish pastry has acquired here.  Shortly after his arrival
he made his choice dainties for the President's wedding.  (That would be
Woodrow Wilson.  That's what I asked the White House Historical Association
about and got no reply--ed.)  His next association was with Gertner's in New
York City, where he instructed the bakers fully in this line.  In his
extensive travels since, covering (col. 2--ed.)  thirty states, he has baked
in most of the leading cities, in some of the best bakeries and pastry shops.
 In the wake of his success sprang up many imitations to meet the new demand,
and inferior goods were put upon the market and sold at the prices which the
genuine products properly command.  (More s

(...)
   The genesis of his growth is that "every man deserves a chance."  This led
to his discovery of the chef who introduced Mr. Gertner to Danish pastry and
which led to Gertner's introducing Danish pastry to Broadway, New York, and
permanent stock engagements in the West.
