TO HONOR WRITER
OF FAIRY TALES
World to Observe Andersen's
125th Birthday.

New York.-Plans now under way
for the observance next year of the
one hundred and twenty-fifth ami
versary of the birth of Hans Chris
tian Andersen by literary bodies and
even governments all over the world
are announced In the Golden Book.
This tribute to the eccentric Dane,
whose fairy tales have probably been
: translated into more languages than
the writings of any other one man,
will be In sense an apology for an
all too frequent human error-that
of mistaking genius for stupidity. An
dersen, It Is recalled, was regarded
In his youth not only as dolt but
often as lunatic.
Julius Moritzen, the Danish meri
can writer, relates how Andersen. In
his early teens and beset with de
sire to shine on the stage, threw
Nine. Schall, the noted dancer, into
fit of CONSERVATION when he ar
rived in Copenhagen, attired In his
fathers made-over greatcoat and a
hat which fell over his eyes, and pre-.
scented himself at her house.
He expected the star to sponsor his
career, and opened the audience with
the announcement that he could play
the part Of Cinderella Moreover he
removed his boots-to aid his dane
ing-took his hat In hand for tambour
inc, and began to trip Enthusiastically
over the floor singing: Here below,
nor rank nor riches are exempt from
pain and woe"
"My strange gestures and my great
activity caused the lady to think me
out of my mind, and she lost no time
in getting rid of me-" Andersen wrote
in adult years.
The extreme poverty of Andersen's
childhood-his father was cobbler,
his mother washerwoman-ma
him the butt of children's jokes and
accentuated his sensitivity into char.
acteristic eccentricities which he car
ried through his life, points out the
Golden Book writer. Even when he
was successful and acclaimed, he
never forgot the sights or painful
episodes of his youth, and took pains
to repay them In strange ways.
For instance, the minister who was
to confirm him rs boy thought him
too poor and stupid to bother with.
and sent him to his vicar for the sac.
rament. In later years Andersen. Wis
iting the king of Denmark on the Is
land of Foehr, learned that the min
lister lived near by. He borrowed the
kings carriage with Its footmen and
luxurious trappings and called on the
clergyman while the carriage waited
in all Its ostentation at the door
THAT" he related, was my revenge"
Before his death In 1875, this odd
weaver of fairy tales, despite his &C.
ccntricities and grotesque appearance,
was probably the best beloved Of
European literary men, even among
literary people themselves.
