Many Legends Treat
of WOm0n's Creation

Woman's first appearance has been
a popular subject Of legends. The
Phoenician myth of creation is found
ed on the story of PygmaliOn and
Galatea. There the first woman was
carved out Of ivory by the first man,
and then endowed with life by AphrO-
dlte, says the Kansas City Star.
The Greek theory Of the creation Of
woman, according to HesiOd, was that
Zeus, as a cruel jest, ordered Vulcan
to make woman out of clay, and then
induce the various gods and gOddesses
to invest the clay doll with all their
worst qualities the result being a
lovely thing.
The Scandinavians say that as Odin,
VIII and We, the three sons Of Bor,
were walking along the beach they
found two sticks Of wood, one Of ash
and one Of elm. Sitting down, the
gods shaped man and woman out of
these sticks, whiting the woman
from the elm and called her Ernia.

SGUed Obstinate Lady
Some Embarrassment

The landward face of the Rock of
Gibraltar stands directly opposite to
conspicuous height, called the Queen
of Spain's Chair"
This name has its origin in legend
of the great siege. 1t is said that the
queen of Spain took up position on
this height, vOwing she would not
leave 1t till she saw the Spanish flag
flying over the Rock of Gibraltar. A
report Of the royal lady's situation ul-
timately reached the governor, Cen
eral Elliott, who at once most gallantly
caused the Spanish flag to be waved
on the summit of the Rock.
Whether the legend is true or not, 1t
is certain that there are no more Strik-
ing aspects of the Rock than those OBJ
tanned by the pedestrians who make
the rough ascent up to the Queen of
Spain's Chair" In traversing the
Spanish town of Linea, separated from
the Rock by the tongue of neutral
ground some half-mile in length, pic
lures of primitive Spain present them
selves at every turn.
In making the tower the objective,
one emerges from the town by narrow
fOOtpaths and donkey tracks. The
rough slopes of the hill afford pasture
for numerous herds of goats, every
herd tended by a shepherd with long
staff.
A pile of naked rock crowns the
summit of the hill. On the tOpmOst Of
these stands an ancient watch-tOwer.
From here the whole circle of the
horizon is a magnificent panorama Of
sea and mountain, a picture in which
the situation of the Rock presents its
full significance. thrust out into the
blue Mediterranean toward the noun
tains of Morocco.
