those in the council are Sapho, the
poetess; Antonius, the Triumvir; Da-

Homer, the poet, who has also been
invited, has not yet arrived, and
Dionysos sends messengers to find
him, as Homer is blind and perhaps
had lost his way. In the meanwhile

JaDan's Pine Islands.

Matsushima is regarded as one OF
the sankei, or three most beautiful
places in Japan. And it we'll deserves
this reputation; for there are indeed
few fairer natural scenes on earth. 1t
reminds the traveller Of the Thousand
isles Of Canada and the English lakes
all in one. Here innumerable pine
clad islands lift their fronded faces
through the purple haze over sea Of
silver.greep; and when the sun sets,
throwing the myriad islands into a
golden glow, the mind is charmed to
ecstasy -.
Many visitors to Matsushima make
the mistake Of going by boat from
Shiogama, taking but coast view Of
the islands. and thus get only vague
and unsatisfying impression of the
beauty. This is to visit fairyland with
out seeing the abode of the fairies.
1t must be remembered that Matsushi-
ma bay is more than six miles long
and five wide, and that to visit all the
hundreds Of islands that adorn the
surface Of the sea in this place would
take years. Yet one may see the best
part of Matsushima in two or three
days if one knows how.-Japan Maya
