LITERARY CIRCLE
FAIRY TALES DISCUSSED The subject of fairy tales occupied tho attention of the Literary Circle of the Lyceum Club at tho November meeting. Miss Spicer read "Fairy Brush" from Pink May, by Bob Lawler, and Miss La vers read from "Forty Goodnight Tales," by Rose Fyleman. Mrs. K. E. Cowie had written a most informative paper on fairy tales, tracing their origin to the sun myths of the ancients, and showing how some of the ordinary fairy tales had hidden allegorical meanings. Miss Margaret A. Parker read a poem written by her at school in 1900 and published in the Presbyterian "Girls Chronicle" in 1903, and another, also her own work, composed from Chopin's "Berceuse." Mrs. Brittain Bull read "Lock-Out Time" from "Peter Pan"; Miss Hamilton gave a reading from Nathaniel Hawthorn's "Tanglewood Tales"; Mrs. Seaman, who possesses probably tho largest collection of fairy tales in Auckland, discursed interestingly about them, from Welsh pixies to Maori folk tales.
