i Do You Burn Gas? |
Get a "GARLAND," the best gas stove on the mar-
ket. We can suit you on the prices. You will need
one before the hot weather comes on.
PUT IN YOUR LIGHTS.
Gas is cheaper than coal; better than wood; your
wife will be tickled when you order gas for your
home.
It's the poor man's fuel—
Because it's the most economical.
The rich man's fuel—
Because it's the most luxurious.
It's the wife's fuel—
Because it's clean and quick.
It's everybody's fuel—
Because it's the best and cheapest.
Thi Stclal Poiltlti l Sappho.
We prefer to believe only the
best concerning Sappho, the
most famous of women poets.
She was certainly of noble rank
and well beloved, says William
C. Law son in the May Lippin-
eott's. There was proof that she
was a happy and devoted moth-
er. Like Margaret Fuller, she
gathered about her a brilliant
circle of women who became her,
pupils, friends and passionate
lovers. Of her more intimate
life, of her environments
and time in general, we really
know little or nothing.
The merciless gossip of later
antiquity may have its source in
nothing better than Athenian
comedy of some forgotten ribald
farce of a coarser people. That
she was a favorite subject for
comic plays was certain, and not
strange. The Dorian, especially
the Spartan, women, of her cen-
tury and of all the more glorious
age which followed, shared, as
inferiors, the hardy exercises
and rude intellectual training of
their brothers. In Ionian lands,
respectable ladies were almost as
secluded as among modern Turks
The flute-girls, dancers, and
women generally who are seen
in the vase paintings at convi-
vial gatherings with men, had
hardly even the humble social
rank of the modern ballet and
variety troupe. They were not
merely the playthings but the
property-of men.
If Sappho really had the free
social position and fair name of a
Mrs. Browning, then the whole
condition of society which in the
Lesbos of her day made it pos-
sible were forgotten in latter
Hellas, as our own happy free-
dom is not fully comprehensible
even now to Spaniards—or to
Greeks. The ladies who appear
in the Iliad and Odyssey enjoy a
freedom quite like that of our
own wives and daughters, In-
deed, the Princess Nausicaa
seems herself half aware that
she needs a chaperone.
This probably indicates the
raal condition of early times.
Oriental influences, somewhat
later, seems to have forced wo-
men of most Greek clans into a
harem-like seclusion, from which
they have even now hardly es-
caped. The best praise Athean
Thucydides, or Pericles, can
imagine for women in 430 B. C.
is that nothing be said of them,
whether good or ill.
It is more likely, however, that
Sappho neither conformed to, nor1
could have understood, any such
conventions as now lightly hedge
us in. She is a poet of passion
and if she drank the cup to the
bitter dregs, as Catullus, Shakes-
peare, Burns, de Musset, did I
after her, we are thanful for the
artistic mastery to which full
knowledge must usually make
its contribution. We are not
compelled to make a Christian
saint out of the unseen, unknown |
artist of the beautiful.
We have everything in the gas fixture line and our
fitters will call on you today if you say the word.
Drop in and "get a Garland." They are the best in
the world, and are no experiment. We know they
are good. If you use gas a week you will use it a
life-time. Call and talk it over with us at our office.

The Climate's the Thing in
SAN ANTONIO
The invigorating air, dry and warm;
the altitude; the perfect natural drain-
age-all combine to make the tempera-
ture as nearly perfect as can be. It is I
possible to spend most of each day,
from November to March, out-doors.
The parks and plazas, the margins of
the creeks and rivers, the groves of
palm and magnolia, lose nothing of their
lustrous green during the winter
months.
San Antonio is, of all America, the
oddest blending of modern utility and]
beauty, with the romance and heroism]
of the midieval.
Come to San Antonio! The except-
ionally low rates, the excellent train
service and accommodations via the M. I
K. k T. Ry. makes H a journey of but
small cost and not of the tiresome
length. I want you to read "The Story
of San Antonio.'1 I'll send it on re-
quest. Once read, I'm sure you'll be
more than half convinced that you
should be the guest of San Antonio this
Winter. Address
