Hamlet $ Home Enough ToMake
 Melancholy


 Helsingor, neat town n few miles north of Copenhagen contains three objects of interest, the first being the castle of Kromborg, where Hamlet's fathers ghost gave the first recorded public exhibition of ghost walking; the second being Hamlet's grave; and the third being the spring into which Ophelia, the beautiful moron, did her untimely Brodie.
 The castle, like most ancient Euro pean castles. has been greatly altered since its early days and has been re- built five or seven times. The ghost has not walked in recent tears, prob ably due to the fact that he doesn't t recognize the place since it had modern plumbing installed. writes Kenneth l.. Roberts in Saturday Evening Post. Hamlets grave is in gloomy, tree shaded spot. on the top of one of the few local hills. and appears to have been built around 1920 instead of around Hamlet. There is no inscrip- ton OH it. and many Shakesperean scholars feel confident that it was built by local business men to encourage traffic between Copenhagen and Hell singor. A more reasonable assump- tiOn, however, is that it was built by kind-hearted Danes so that visiting Americans wouldn't be disappointed by their failure to see Hamlet's burial place.
 The stones at the top of the monu- ment, which looks something like a petrified beaver house with T man. moth banana stuck in the top, are | aa au a. ment to tourists, and have to be re- placed at frequent intervals because of their popularity-probably as door stops or desk weights.
 Ophelia's spring seems to have been constructed because of widespread demand for something of the sort in the vicinity of Hamlet's grave. It is 8 highly unimpressive affair, consist ing of small pipe or spigot, breast high from the ground, from which trickles thin driblet of water like that which emerges from leaky bath room faucet. The water drips onto a colanderlike iron plate and vanishes.
