The home of ancient art. Athens, the home of ancient art, is still one of the most beautiful cities in Europe. New sections of the city are strictly modern in every respect, but the older quarters are terribly crowded and unsanitary. The American Red Cross has opened several baby clinics and dispensaries for the care of the chidren of these quarters. This picture shows the modern section of the city looking toward the Lykabettos, the mount crowned with the Chapel of St. George. The picture was taken from the top of the Parthenon, the most perfect monument of ancient art which occupies the culminating point of the Acropolis and frowning down upon the more modern portions of the city
