ATHENS AND THE SEASON.

Not Comfort, but the Date, Governs

the height of summer. when many of
them go to Kephisia and Phalerum
and others to the islands or to the
baths near Corinth for "cure," they
seem well content to remain within
their city. They are governed. it seems
by fashion. like those who dwell in
less favored lands.

was usually magnificent and often
very hot Yet Phalerum. perhaps half
an hour by train from Constitution
square, was deserted. In the vast ho-
tel there found only two or three
children; in the baths half a dozen
swimmers. The pleasure boats lay
idle by the pier. asked the reason
of this-why at evening dusty Athens

pavements were black with people tax.

Phalerum, with its cooler air and its
limpid waters, held no one but an Eng
lish traveller?

reply | received, delivered with a
grave air of finality. tried to argue
the matter and suggested that anxiety
about the war had something to do
with it. But was Informed that the
season" closed on certain day and
that after that day the Athenians gave
up going to Phalerum.-Robert Hich-

hesitate to use Resinol Soap and Res
