F ROM Corinth we sailed on the little 
steamer Pelops for Scala, on the 
Gulf of Lepanto, where by a previ- 
ous arrangement made at Athens we 
found our dragoman, Apostolides, and 
Andreas the cook, and a pack train of 
six mules, which were to carry our cots, 
bedding, provisions and cooking uten- 
sils, inasmuch as the inns of the in- 
terior villages were not considered de, 
sirable. Other quarters had been prox 
vided in advance by our dragoman. At 
Scala we found Professor Murray, 
Curator of Greek Antiquities at the 
British Museum, accompanied by Mrs. 
Murray, who were to go as far as 
Mount Parnassus with us. 
At the foot of Mount Parnassus w® 
came to the village of Gastri, which 
was built amid the ruins and on the 
site of Delphi and the Temple of 
Apollo. This was the seat of the fa- 
mous Delphic Oracle which played so 
important a part in the affairs of an- 
cient Greece. Here was the cleft or 
fissure in the mountain which had been 
spanned by the Sacred Tripod, but we 
failed to notice or sense the intoxica- 
ting vapor which was wont to throw the 
Pythian priestess into a prophetic or 
clairvoyant state, and which formerly 
welled up from dark and mysterious 
recesses of the mountain. 
In a narrow gorge we observed the 
once famous Castalian spring, but, as 
at the Fountain of Pirene, it seemed to 
be wash day with the women of the 
village, who were pounding their soiled 
linen with mallets, in the sacred stream, 
and spreading it on the rocks to dry. 
This utilitarian proceeding was a sad 
blow to our cherished and preconceived 
anticipations, and after luncheon we 
rode to the village of Arachnia, I 
think, or at any rate it had a name 
with some suggestion of a spider, and 
appropriately, for the village was re- 
nowned for weaving. 
We were domiciled in the house of a 
prosperous widow, who owned some 
terraced farm land on the mountain 
side, a mile or two away. I learned 
through Apostolides that she had a son 
in the law school at Athens and another 
at the medical college in Constantino- 
ple. Her handsome daughter showed 
us with much pride her dowry-chest, or 
“hope-chest,” nearly as tall as herself, 
filled to the top with all sorts of house- 
hold linen and wearing apparel, hand- 
somely embroidered, and all the work 
of her own hands. The women of this 
village, old or young, when the house- 
hold duties are done, are either weav- 
ing or embroidering or knitting, and 
out walking or in the fields are never 
without the distaff and spindle, spin- 
ning the warp and woof for the loom. 
Happening in our bedroom I sur- 
prised the widow with several of her 
neighbors examining the pattern of a 
scroll border on one of our cotton 
blankets, but failing to pick it out 
placed it against the window in the en- 
deavor to trace it with a pencil. With 
the aid of Apostolides I convinced them 
that the coveted border was a cheap, 
crass and ugly design, and was in no 
degree comparable with their own or- 
iginal, artistic and beautiful patterns 
and Grecian borders, which so pleased
