they extended to foreigners they sue

Prof. Vambery then went on to say
that Hungary had invariably formed
i'm ihsurmountable barrier against the
harbarism of the east. Had it not been
for the stubborn resistance offered by
the Christian armies Of Hungary to
the inroads of Turkish hordes. the prog

couiu be said that Hungary had acted

In the April number of Century
there is an article by Prof. Allan Mar

spropos of the coming attempt to re-
tive the festival of Athens. A number
of striking pictures by Andre Castaigne
accompany the article. Prof. Marquand
says:
The foot-races were three in number,
called respectively the dromos or stad-
ION, the diaulos, and the dolichos, ac-
cording as the course was traversed
once, twice, or number of times. Tie
dromos was a straishtaway dash of
about 200 yards. or exactly 1927
metres. A long line of fagstones,
grooved so as to be firmly gripped by
the feet, was laid at each end of the
course. This permitted the finish fer
both long and short races TO take place
at the same end of the Stadium. Along
these fagstones posts were erected. Dis

just as she is, the summer girl is by
fAk tbs most interesting OF the lot. She
is really prophetic of the summer
styles in the states. because she brings
them here, wheedled in advance from
wise dressmakers. She has brought
with her summer silks for lawn parties,
in Dresden and Persian designs: but
chiefly she has added unto herself
waists waists better fitting than last
years, waists with removable linen col
lars for which ribbon bands and bows
can be substituted: waists with thcks
in front and tucks behind, waists with
strong tabs sewn on behind, from which
the skirts may more securely. hang.
Many of them are of Persian effects in
reds, or grass linens. beautifully en-
broidered with forgetme-nots or little
rosebuds. The waists are more elabor
ate than last year. They have frequently
yokes of Naehciennes lace on grass
linen or nainsook. the Jokes cut square,
the sleeves big and white and breezy
and lacey. a pretty waist in nansook
is quite white behind, the big sleeves
are white, but the front is all embroi-
dered in faint tnts of delicate fawn or
blue.
Such waist would go well with
fawn or blue skirt. But blue will not
mean the standard navy blue serge
which was so convenient. The full
skirt of nine cores and a Eox p!eat is
safe for the season; its colors are much
gayer than of old. checks and stripes
taking the place of solid colors and
pale tints substituting the darker ones
we have known so long. The summer
girls skirt becomes gay indeed in silks.
The chief fault of the all prevailing
Persian designs is that the figures are,
many of them, SO big as TO be less be-
coming to the little Venuses than to
the big Junos.

seem to have carried the helmet, spear.
Shield and greaves, but later the vase
paintings indicate that only helmets
and shields were carried. Twenty-Five
brazen shields were preserved in the
temple of Zeus for this purpose.
The races for boys were not revival

by the people Of Ellis "because the idea
pleased them" These races were over
q shorter course than that for the men,
as were also the races for young girls.
The races for girls were not portion
Of the great Zeus festival, but took
place under the auspices of the god
tless Hera on another occasion. Pau
sanias thus describes them: Every
fourth year 16 matrons weave shawl
for Hera, and the same number preside
over the gaines. And the contest is q
face for maidens Of various ages. In
the first race are the youngest. and next
those slightly older, and last of all the
eldest. And they all run with their
hair down their back, short tunic
below the knee, and their right Shout
der bare to the breast. They Use in

Severer and more dangerous, but
more popular were the contests in
wrestling, boxing and the pancratium.
Wrestling, however, since the days of
mythical Theseus. had ceased to be
contest of brute force, and had become
a trial of skill. Pindar praised the vic
tor Epharmostus as being "deft-hand-
ed, nimble-limbed, with the light Of
va1of in his eyes," and Plutarch regard
cd wrestling as the most scientific OF
all the games. Quickness of eye to de-

even hysterical. To calm his nervous

warm baths, which he spent hours in
taking. Then again he was irregular

breaking his rest at midnight to set the
pens of his secretaries scampering to
keep pace with the flow of his speech.
