All other world events were pushed far into lhc background here by the formal announcement of the “love snatch". oft rumored and oft denied. and photographs of the couple's betrothed km claimed wide public attention. A candle-lighted dinner table at the royal palace, meanwhile, saw the zlffidncod pair drink to each others health and happiness. Wedding in May? (A British news agency dispatch from Stockholm quoted palace circles as saying the wedding of Frederik and Ingrid probably would take place at Stockholm ta- wurd the cncl of. May). The engagement kiss, Stock- holm newspapers pointed out, was not very dramatic, because, they said, this first public demonstra- tion of affection was naturally a ‘bashful, station platform sort of affair." From the political viewpoint. the engagement was considered of great interest since it immediately precedes an election in Stockholm Sunday in which Conservatives would rule on u. complicated point ' minlwes later the forum. btthhdfiw Mulder (j will be battling desperately against Socialist rule.
