Noted BY SapantS -

brought probably from the Orient, pur-
chased there or captured by violence"
In one of these phrases of Prof. Gabriotto
there is something strongly reminiscent OF
a description of the modern Flapper as
pronounced recently by New York minis
ter from his pulpit: "These young women,
cheek dancers, bobbed hair fiirts-imita-
tion gems in society's new jewel box-are
little more than oversophisticated dolls
voluntarily practicing the wiles which the
Oriental slave dealer used to force with
whip upon his captiyes when he threw
them upon the auction block-wiles that
by the slave dealer were calculated to in
crease competition among his bidders"
What the minister described as the Flap
per OF to-day Prof. Gabriotto seems to have
found to be the Flapper of the $500 years
ago yesterday. Upon one point both agree
even in words-"sophistica dolls"
The Italian explorer declares, at another
point in his report that in the tombs he
has just explored he discovered a number
of vases which clearly are of an age much
earlier than that of other discoveries in
this section of tabled Crete, which link still
closer the age at which we have been ac-
customed to think Greek history begins
400 and 1900 B. C.-with the legendary
time of the first Crete period. 5000 years
before Christianity.
1--WE find distinct traces of a feminine
type, clearly that of the fabled goddesses
of the earliest Kgean period" he says.
"These prove almost conclusively that what
is legend with us to-day was even more
substantial than traditions with the Gre
tans of this later age. They must have
The New York herald., 1922-03-19

Does this not say, merely, that Gabriotto
has learned that Helen was Flapper?
Prof Gabriotto made many interesting
discoveries on his recent explorations. Be
fore the war many expeditions went into
Crete, although their work was much ham
pered for many years before 1914 by polit-
ical conditions. Gabriotto is, perhaps, the
first arch@ologist since 1910 who has been
free to carry out his explorations without
hindrance.
His predecessor, Schliemann, had made
his most successful explorations in Mount
Juktas, which overlooks Knossos, the seat
of much ancient Cretan opulence and
learning. Here Schliemann had found
unmistakable traces of a civilization ex-
isting at the time of earliest Egypt and
Babylon. He returned with evidence that
Odysseus was real, and that Apollo,
Paris, Venus and even Zeus undoubtedly
once followed their plows across those
expanding fields, just as legend has said
of them. Tradition gave them the omnip
otence of gods and goddesses.
Gabriotto sought to extend these dis
coveries. His most important find was
in a tomb near the summit of the hill,
the clew to which he had found in an old
legend. the origin of which he had never
been able to trace.

"The younger of the two women
undoubtedly is the wife or daughter
or the favorite Of very powerful
