THE London Globe" attempts an
explanation of the rhyme, Sing a
Song of Sixpense." Here it is: The
four-and twenty blackbrds represent
the four andtwenty hours. The bot
tom of the pie is the world. The top
crust represents the sky. The opening
of the pie is the dawn of the day, when
the birds begin to sing, and surely
such a sight is fit for king. The
king is in his counting house counting
out his money is the sun. The money
the king is counting represents the
golden sunshine The queen, who sits
i'm the parlor, is the moon. The honey
she is eating is the moonlight. The
Industrious maid who is working i'm
the garden before the sun has risen
is the day dawn and the clothes she
hangs out are clouds. The bird who
so tragically ends the song by nipping
off her nose is the hour of sunset"

Frau Fable was among those who
spoke at the recent opening of the
lFrauenberg, or Woman's Castle, in
Copenhagen. This building is n five
story building costing $250,0O0, all of
which has come from the savings OF
women. Frau Fable has just passed
her ninetieth birthday and in her
speech at the opening Of the Frauen-
berg she told how forty years ago the
first Woman's Culture society had
humbly approached the Copenhagen
Atheuasum asking the loan of some
books from its well stocked library.
The request was refused, whereupon
the women declared that within fifty
years they would have their own
Athenaeum. The new Frauenberg has
a library of more than $1,000 volumes
