- TAR GAZERS have probably

one in the southwest and another In
the southeast The one in the west
has appeared like faithful sentinel
on heavens battlements each even
ing now. for many days; but the
other two are later, though scarce.
ly less brilliant
The one in the west. so astrono-
mers tell us-is Venus. that one in
the southwest. Sirius. or the dog
star; that one in the southeast, Ju-
piter.
II is not often that three such
prominent and beautiful stars grace
our twilight heavens at the same and
at SO early an hour. and it is certainly
worth our while to mark them and
to take time to drink in their silent
loveliness
Right well is that brightest one
named for Venus. the goddess of
love and beauty-and the other bears
just as appropriately the name OF the
chief of those mythical dwellers on
Mount Olympus. We do not recall
the story connected with the dog
star. but suspect there must be one
and that it, too. is flttingly named.
The voiceless stars themselves
bring many, many thoughts-some
tender and happy Others touched with
the mist OF sadness. but their names
recall the marvellous. sometimes beau
tiful, stories which cluster about a
group OF wonderful approximations
that were worshipped by the early
Greeks and Romans-stories that
have been wrought into thhe fabric
of all literature, sometimes becoming
its most brilliant thread Many hun.
dreds of years ago they were thought
TO have existence. these beings. and
wrought their wonderful influence OH
