coast to Corcyra.
From Homer's Odyssey" It Is
TO be inferred that Odysscus came
from the west and was sailing
east when he arrived at the land
Of the Phaeacians. On the west
coast also are to be found the pre-
cipitous walls of rock described BIZ
Homer. Therefore, II the city Of
the Phaeacians really existed, II

field, 10 be looked for on the north
west coast OF COrcyra On this
coast and on this promontory now
called Cape kephali. Dorpteld
found Mycenaean potsherds and
the remains or low wall pointing
to the existence OF prehistoric
settlement dating back 10 the Sec
ond millennium B. c.. which. he
thinks further investigation may
prove TO be the old city of King
Alcinous
One interesting bit OF evidence
IS adduced by Dorpfeld in favor Of
this opinion. Homer tells us that
Poscidon transformed the ship Of
the phaeacians which took Odys-
seus home into huge rock in
front Of the city. Now. in front
OF Cape kephali lies rocky islet
which at distance strongly re-
sembles sailing vessel and is
called on that account by the ma
tives. "karawi,' modern Greek
term for ship.
Even in ancient times this same
rock VAS supposed 10 be the
rhaescign ship, and Pliny in his
Natural History" states: There
is rock by the promontory OF
Phalakron in Corcyra into which
they say the ship of Ulysses was
changed so as to resemble 1t in
form"
All this interesting research has
been brought TO an end by the
war, and Che control OF the seas by
the allied navies.

in heroic legend.
The Kaiser was delighted with
the Importance OF this find and the
learned discussions over it. He
contributed large sums OF money
for further research work at Corfu.
There are not lacking suspicious

The next find was terra Gotta

lions OF q temple. The presence OF
a spring here and the finding of an
inscription, giving the name OF a
divinity beginning with "a" led
Professor Dorpfeld TO conjecture
that this was temple OF Apollo or
Asklepios, both gods Of healing.
After this still more interesting
archa Biological enterprise was un.
dertaken. This was search for
evidence TO prove that the tabled
city OF the Phaeacians, whose hab.
itation IS located by Homer In the
odyssey" as westward near the
confines OF the world. was really in
Corfu.
Professor Dorpfeld held that the
Phaeacians were sca-faring folk
who originated in Crete. and who
In voyaging westward 10 Italy
came to Corcyra. as Corfu was
originally called, and there planted
a settlement. This view is based
upon passages in several ancient
writer's. Homer says that the

city the ships that came from the
Far West cast anchor and in one
night It was possible to sail from

Some Very Peculiar
Freaks of Fashion

At one time deliberately worked
and hand embroidered blouses we're
the vogue. Then machines were so
perfected that machine en- broidered
blouscs outrivalled the hand work,
and fashion experts retaliated by
designing blouses as plain as they
could be made.
The fashion for uncurled feathers
was the result Of wet day Curled
ostrich feathers were on every hat,
when, at some fashionable function,
the rain descended in torrents and
every feather was> soon absolutely
straight. Miliiners, always alert for
an idea. we're struck with the ap-
pearance Of these feathers, and un-
curled ostrich plumes became the
demand.
The fashion for wearing ribbons
intermingled with curls piled on the
top OF the head originated In the
reign OF Louis XIV. of France.
The Duchess de Fontanges was out
hunting with the King and Court
when a branch Of a tree caught her
hair and pulled it down. With quick
resourcefulness, she leaned down,
pulled off her ribbon garter, and
twisted up her hair with it. The
King. noticing the pretty effect,

1t cannot be denied that most OF
the more extreme fashions originate
with the stage, but the most lasting
fashions arc due to royalty. The
vogue for black and white, which
has not yet died out, was the re-
suit Of the death Of King Edward,
