The book and the land . ve years ofage; his wife is an accomplished portraitpainter and does the most exquisite work 56 THE BOOK AND THE LAND in home decorations. Both are admirableentertainers. Leaving Piraeus, sixty miles from Corinth, at 6:10 a. m. on Saturday, March 26, wepassed some of the noted places mentionedin Greek classical history. First cameEleusis, town and bay, around which wereheld the mysteries which have been theenigma of centuries; then we came toMegara, on the shore of Salamis Bay, wherethe Greeks and Persians fought the notedsea fight of ancient history.

Seven columns or pillarswith their capitals remain in a good state ofpreservation. Near this temple wa
