HANS ANDERSEN.
OENTENARY HONOURED*
The City Council of Odense honoured the centenary of Hans Christian _ Andersen's birth by making an historical museum of the tiny housa where the great story-teller was born. The little cobbled street, Hans Jensensstraede, a narrow turning on one of Odense's most important thoroughfares, is a place of pilgrimage for sightseers from all over the world, and especially for children who love Hans' Andersen's fairy tales. Odense is the capital of the Island of Funen. It is the third city in Denmark, a busy and prosperous town of 60,000 inhabitants. In the museum every memento of Andersen that his admirers could collifct is preserved—the figures and pictures he cut as a child, as well as his manuscripts, letters, furniture, and clothes.
