FEDERAL PROTECTION OF BIRDS By WILLIAM 1. HORNADAY Director of the New York Zoological Park The Jacksnipe. A Useful Bird Which Is Rapidly Becoming Extinct. exterminated, and other curlews greatly reduced. . . . So adverse to the shorebirds are present conditions that the wonder is that any escape. In both fall and spring they are shot the whole route of their, migration north and south. The accompanying illustrations present portraits of a group of birds, most of which the average person probably knows by sight, though I fear that only a small minority have a clear idea of their very great economic worth. The jacksnipie (or Wilson's snipie) is one of the shorebirds (referred to by Mr. McAtee), which, as a family, are being rapidly exterminated. It destroys large numbers of worms and larvae, for which it probes with its long bill in the soft earth of corn and potato fields—thereby doing the farm or a great service—as well as along the shores of ponds, lakes and streams. It also feeds on grasshoppers and other injurious insects. It should be carefully protected, especially during the breeding season. The kildeer plover is another valuable and beautiful shorebird which is being hunted to death. It frequents meadows and pasture lands, as well as shores, and deserts great quantities of mosquitoes, crane flies, grasshoppers, army worms, cut worms, caterpillars, cotton-boll weevils, cloverleaf weevils, rice weevils, marine worms, wire worms and crayfish. Doubtless everybody knows the robin, perhaps the most democratic of our birds, beloved in the northern states The Kildeer Plover. Another Valuable Shorebird Which Destroys Great Quantities of Worms and Insects. HAREMS OUT OF DATE IN TURKEY Only the Sultan Adheres to the Old Style Oriental Institutions—Modern Turk Resorts to Divorce. The domestic arrangements of the sultan are entirely different from those of his subjects. Most Turks have one wife; the sultan has no recognized sultana. Turks of high rank marry into their own class; the sultan forms unions with women of slave origin. The ordinary man may not look upon an unvelled woman exerting sheer by his relation or appearance; the sultan has the right to talk with any woman in the land face to face. Turks of position model their households more or less on the European plan; the sultan's household is oriental. That does not mean that in the imperial palace you would find women slipping sherbet or smoking nargilehs or clad in baggy trousers. On the contrary, you would find them smoking nothing more oriental than a cigarette, sitting or roaring in the corner, or smoking cornes. But the code of morals is entirely different, says the New York Sun. The imperial harem is founded on the old court system of the Byzantine emperors and has an etiquette and law of its own. The first fact one must grasp is that the wives or favorites of the sultan have no importance at all. They are nobodies. The daughter of a Circassian peasant may be honored by the sultan's favor and even bear him a child, but yet be distinguished by no other title than the commonplace "Kadin Effendi." Only the mother of the eldest son receives the royal designation of "sultan," her whole title being "Kharei." His dignity only results from her being the mother of a possible heir to the throne; that is, in the event that the sultan has no brothers, for the brothers have the right of prece VOL. 29.

Here THE United States department of agriculture is responsible for the start- ling statement that, in the year 1904, insect pests cost this country no less than $420,100,000. Here are the figures of government experts: Product. Percentage Amount of Loss, of Loss.

(2) That such birds undoubtedly are rapidly decreasing in number; and that, therefore, (3) Destructive insects are, in all probability, increasing very rapidly, The Robin. Highly Valuable as an Insect and Grub Destroyer, But Murdered by the Thousands for Pot-Pies in the South. with the result that the damage they do is mounting up, year by year. It is perfectly apparent that here is a situation which demands immediate action, and that this action should bring about the vigilant protection for all time, and in all parts of the country, of all insectivorous birds. Many of the most useful of these birds are already on the tobogganslide toward extermination, as the lax enforcement of such laws as have been enacted. To be explicit: There are seven states in which the robin is being legally killed by the tens of thousands annually as "game." These states are Louisiana, Mississippi, Florida, South Carolina, North Carolina, Tennessee and Maryland. The black bird is legalized "game," and suffers the same fate in four states—Louisiana, South Carolina, Tennessee and Pennsylvania—and the District of Columbia besides. Doves are slaughtered by the wholesale in 26 states, much to the loss of the farmers, for this bird is a great eater of weed seeds. Cranes, which are also very useful birds, are much hunted for food and for "sport" in Colorado, Nebraska, North Dakota and Oklahoma. Of the sixty-odd species of shorebirds (i. e. snipe, curlew, plover, sandpipers and the like), at least 30 feed on noxious insects; yet all of these birds are rapidly disappearing. According to Mr. W. L. McAtee of the Golden-Winged Woodpecker. Golden-Winged Woodpecker. A Great Tree-Protector, and Champion Ant-Defender, the Woodpecker is terminated by Pot-Hunters bureau of biological survey (United States department of agriculture); "The black-bellied plover, or beetlehead, which occurred along the Atlantic coast in great numbers years ago, is now seen only as a strangler. The golden plover, once exceedingly abundant in the woodlands of the interior, ... The Eskimo curlew with in the last decade has probably been THE APPEAL. for his cheerful song and his handsome appearance, glad everywhere to be the companion and the friend of man when he is well treated, and highly valuable as a destroyer of harmful grubs, worms and insects. Yet this bird is murdered literally by the thousands for pot-pies by negroes and poor whites in the southern states above mentioned, and is more or less hunted in other states. Mr. E. A. McIlhenney, who lives on Avery Island, La., says that during the ten days or two weeks of the "robin season" (in January when the berries are ripe) at least 10,000 of these useful and beautiful birds are slaughtered daily for the pot. "Every negro man and boy who can raise a gun is after them," says Mr. McIlhenney. Although this bird causes some loss to small fruit growers, it certainly does vastly more good than harm. It is constantly at work on lawns and fields hunting for destructive insects, which it is exceedingly difficult to keep in control. It devours many caterpillars, including hairy species, which infest the orchard, woodland and shade trees. Forty per cent, of its food is insects, and 43 per cent, wild fruit. It would pay the farmer well to go some expense in order to keep the robins away from his fruit trees and berry bushes rather than shoot these birds which are so to him in many ways. To murder them pot-pies is, of course, nothing short of barbarous. The purple marmor is so fond of the society of mankind, when not molested by the villainous sparrows and still more villainous men by whom it is shot for food chiefty in the south—it is glad to breed in birdhouses near human habitats. It mates a charming neigh- The Purple Martin.

One observer recalls that 32 parent martins made 3,275 visits to their young in one Jay, each visit meaning, probably, anywhere from one to half a dozen insects. The nighthawk (also called "bullat") i- probably one of the most useful of birds. It feeds exclusively on insects, and ranks next to the golden-winged woodpecker (flicker) as a feathered destroyer of ants, which it takes when they are in the winged stage. Potato beetles, cucumber beetles, leaf hoppers, bugs of various kinds and enormous quantities of gnats and mosquitoes are found in their stomachs. They are entirely harmless, for they never feed on fruit, grass or vegetables. Yet they are being hunted for sport and are being exterminated. The loggerhead (or southern) shrike is a champion pest destroyer, a large dence as the elder male descendants. And the royal favorite of the moment will have transitory importance on account of the influence which she may exercise over the sultan. Royal princesses are considered inferior to the mother of the sultan, who is the real queen of the little world of the harem, has absolute authority, a large staff of officials and the supreme title of "Valide sultan." Thus it happens that a woman of slave birth may, if she be the mother of an heir to the throne, eventually become the royal woman of the land. Every royal woman of our daira, or separate apartments, slaves, servants and so on, the management of the household being given to her kaltas, or ladies in waiting—that is to say, Turkish women of good birth who have remained unmarried. Royal princesses rarely take a husband of their own rank. They are generally married by the sultan to the sons of men of wealth and position, such as pashas, officers of state, high civil officials and the like, a policy which is founded on a very practical reason, namely, that the arrangement makes the existence of a hereditary aristocracy impossible. One of the paradoxes in Turkey is that the poorer a Turkish woman is greater in freedom. The rich woman more modest than unaccompanied. She sees Constantinople only from the windows of her closed broughtham or through a velk thick enough to act as a mask. She dress as exquisitely as a mannequin in a Paris dressmaker's showroom, but she must not display so much as an inch of embroidery in public. When her husband wants to take a second wife, or grows tired of her and wishes to divorce her, he has both the opportunity and the means to do so. He chides among Turks of any education to take a second wife; but divorce is re Defective Page The Nighthawk. One of the Most Useful of Insectivorous Birds Which Is Being Hunted for "Sport" and Exterminated. percentage of its food being harmful rodents and destructive insects, the latter including grasshoppers, crickets and moths, which it frequently impales upon thorns or sharp twigs. It sometimes catches young birds (though this is more characteristic of the northern shrike, o' butcher bird.), but its diet is chiefly insects and small rodents. It is, therefore, very valuable to the farmer. The golden-winged woodpecker (also called "flicker," "highhole," etc.) is an industrious tree protector, and the most efficient of all featured natcters. It is also feeds upon beetles, grasshoppers, crickets, caterpillars, and other harmful insects, as well as on weed seds. Yet it is rapidly growing rare because it is much hunted for food. It should be protected everywhere and at all times. In view of the decrease already accomplished in the general volume of bird life in America, in view of the enormous losses annually inflicted on the people of this country by the ravages of insects, and in view of the destruction of wild life which is now farriously proceeding throughout America, to fore congress, to provide for the federal protection of all migratory birds, becomes the most important wildlife measure that ever came before that body. In view of the annual economic loss that will continue as long as a federal migratory bird bill falls to pass, it is impossible for anyone to put forth one good reason—unless it be on purely technical grounds—against that measure. The Weeks bill, before the house passed the most closely like the McLean bill, and it matters not which one passes first. Unless the people of this country wish to shut their eyes to their own interests, and pay out millions of dollars annually in the form of increased cost of living due to the losses caused by insect pests which would be destroyed by the birds, they should demand that a federal migratory bird bill be at once enacted into a law.

The woman of the poorest classes can go out alone. Custom does not oblige her to wear her veil down. Should her husband, in a fit of anger, wish to divorce her, he must first of all produce the Nekyah, the dowry, in ready money, not an easy matter for a poor man. The real danger to domesticate happiness in the great mass of Turkish homes is the growing tendency of divorce, and a divorce wholly favorable to the man as against the woman. The payment of the modest nekayah arranged at the time of his marriage is a simple affair, and it is seldom enough to keep the divorced wife for the rest of her days. She is forced to take refuge with her parents or to find shelter with some of her friends. Day on Which Women Rule. Candlesma day is not celebrated in Holland much more than in England, but its place is taken by a festival unknown in this country. Slipper day in the Northlands is celebrated day in the year in which the Dutch woman claims superiority over her husband. On that day she rules him over her heart's content, and he generally obeys good humourly enough. That is, unless she is one of those ladies not unknown in Holland or in any other country who aspire to complete rule over their unhappy partners throughout the year—Philadelphia Inquirer.

Men of Ottoman Country Work Themselves Into a Frenzy and Then Use Various Instruments of Torture to Please Allah. Constantinople—The religion of the Ottoman empire is typical of its people—barbarous and fantastic. The Dervishes, the regular religious order in Turkey, recognize no authority but that of Allah, and, in consequence, have been persecuted not a little by the jealous Sultans. Although the laymen who profess this faith have but to repeat one or two short prayers and wear the sacred cap for a few minutes every day, those who take the vows of poverty, abstinence from wine, and celibacy, from time to time perform strange rites in their worship of Allah. The Whirling Dervishes, after a few preliminaries, begin to chant the Koran to weird music played on flutes and tarboukas, which seems to intoxicate them. One by one they close their eyes, stretch their arms horizontally and begin to twist, slowly at first, but gain speed then they seem, in a sleeping top, to be motionless. All the time they never touch, although there may be a sense of more whirling at the same time in the center of the floor, never leave the space they stand, and never get out of time, always moving to the music. This they continue until they fall exhausted and are covered with a cloak until they have recovered. The ceremonies performed by the Howling Dervishes, another sect, are quite as strange, and a great deal more barbarous even than those just mentioned, but in neither case are the rites performed secretly; for, unlike other Mohammedans, the Dervishes do not object to the "Christian dog" attending their places of worship, so long as he removes his shoes more he enters the "tekhil," or temple. Round the walls of the hall used by the Howling Dervishes hang all sorts of cruel-looking implements—sharp darts, nippers, chains, pinchers and other weapons. These the devotees use to mortify their flesh when they have worked themselves up to a state Type of Dervishes of the Desert. of religious ecstasy and delirium. Faster and faster they move their heads, higher and higher rises the music, one by one the Dervishes leave their place and begin to leap high in the air, rocking all the time. Kettledrums are beaten, the chanting becomes louder. The Dervishes form a chain, placing their hands on each other's shoulders, then step one pace backward and one forward with a terrific simultaneous lurch, emitting a long-drawn howl, like the cry of some wounded animal. The excitement is intense, and the Dervishes, foaming at the mouth, begin to wound themselves with various implements from the walls. They handle redhot irons, fill their mouths with burning charcoal, drive a spit right through one cheek and out the other side, and leave it there while they continue to nod and howl. They perform a sort of wild dance with a pointed carin on hand, throwing themselves upon them, unharmed, they roll over, covered with blood and foam. While this is going on mothers bring their children for the priest to stand upon, for in so doing he is supposed to cure all diseases. Tiny children undergo this ordeal, and are forced to bear the pressure until their ribs crack and their eyes bulge from their livid faces. Even those of the highest rank come to be stood upon by the imam, or high priest, believing that it will cure them of their illnesses. Caught Turtle Foot Anarchist.

NOTED CATHEDRAL IN SPAIN Statue of Virgin in the Toledo Weara a Mantel on Which Are Embroidered 78,000 Pearls. Madrid, Spain—Spain is richer in cathedrals than any other country in the world, and one of the grandest of them all is at Toledo. The Virgin Mary is said to have a special liking for it and to have paid it frequent visits—on one occasion actually putting a new robe on St. Idelfonso, one of the archbishops. In fact the scene is represented in sculpture and painting in all parts of the cathedral, and to preclude all doubt about it, the very stone is shown on which the Virgin lighted. It is incased in red fabric and over it the inscription: "We will worship in the place where her feet have stood." There are several statues of the Virgin in the Toledo cathedral each. Western Facade of the Famous Cathedral at Toledo. Of which is adorned with a gorgeous gown. One wears a mantle upon which are embroidered 78,000 pearls. The massive proportions and ornate architecture of the cathedral at Toledo make it one of the most gorgeous in the world. After the bright glare of the Spanish sunlight, it is marvelous how beautiful is the interior as it comes streaming through 750 varicolored windows. The pavement is of variegated marble and around the walls are twenty-three elaborate chapels. The greatest artists of Spain labored on this cathedral for six centuries. It is not strange, therefore, that it excites the visitor's enthusiasm. The choir, for example, is decorated with probably the most elaborate wood carving in the world. Around a pavement of white marble rise, on three sides, two rows of seats for the priests, one above the other, arms and hands, back, feet, headpieces and arms, back, exalted, carved into sacred, grotesque, mythological or historical subjects in baselief. One's first impression on entering the cathedral is most vivid and imposing. Five naves divide the church. The middle one is of great height, and the others beside it seem to bow their heads and kneel in token of admiration and respect. Eighty-eight pillars, each as large as a tower and each composed of sixteen spindle-shaped columns bound together, sustain the enormous mass of the building. The architecture of the whole building is homogeneous and perfect, which is very rare virtue in Gothic architecture. It is built in spite of the many years it was building, has been adhered to from one end to the other, with the exception of a few arrangements of the chapels, which, however, do not interfere with the harmony of the general effect. BOATS FOR SCHOOL "KIDS" Argentine Government Thus Reaches Thousands of Children to Educate Them. Buenos Aires.—The Argentine government has solved the problem of providing education for the floating schools along the delta of the La Plata river in the Andes. These floating schools go from point to point along the La Plata and its tributaries, changing the roll of students as the school steams to new territory along the waterfront. In addition to saving thousands, of dollars in the annual expenses of the department of education, it is officially reported that education is now being brought to thousands of Armenian children who were previously without any scholastic attention whatsoever. Each schoolship consists of double-deck sections devoted to the higher and lower classes; while a terrace and private apartments for the teaching staff form the superstructure. The ships have a capacity of two hundred pupils each. They are absolutely caring, and their value in meeting the difficulties confronting the education in the La Plata delta is considerable. Indeed their success has been such that a number of additional school ships for other waterfront districts are now in course of construction. "Sued for Preventing Marriage. Nashville—Father T. C. Abbott of Nashville—church has been sued for $10,000 by Miyahiro Kondo, a years old, a Protestant, on the charge that he prevented her marriage to J. J. Walsh, a Catholic.

Each Has a Meaning, but Owing to Misspelling, Etc., It is Impossible to Conjecture Their Original Purport. London.-Those who are most familiar with the London streets probably think least about their history. But the stranger who at rare intervals, or possibly for the first time in his life, visits the metropolls, must often speculate as to the origin of this or that thoroughfare, or wonder how some of the curiously-named streets he passes through came by their names. Since it has always been the custom in this country to name the ways of towns and cities after somebody or something, one may be sure that every one of the names of London is named and a special meaning, though that means has so much lost its point in the course of time, or the original spelling has been so corrupted, that it is now in many cases practically impossible even to conjecture the original purport of the place-names of the metropolls. Many London thoroughfores, like many a country village, probably owe their names to the existence of some hostelry in the immediate neighborhood, and around which, in course of time, other houses were built, so that at last a street was formed. Hanging Sword alley, off Whitefriars street, and Catherine Wheel alley, near Liverpool street station, no doubt obtained their names in this manner. Gracechurch street, city, is said to have had nothing whatever to do with that particular virtue in the beginning, and perhaps there is no more of it there nowadays than there used to be. It was originally spelled "Grass-church," because of the grass that once grew along its edges, or on account of the fact that venders of herbs dwelt there. Another corruption of a perfectly different word. Originally it was "Old Bourne" or "Hill Bourne," so-called from the stream which bore out near where Holborn Bars afterward stood, and ran down the side of the street to the Fleet river. From the latter, as every one may suppose, Fleet street took its name. And as a final example of the corruption of Hyde Park. London's Fashionable Recreation Ground Took Its Name from the Famous Anne Hyde. names, brought about by a loose re gard for spelling and pronunciation, one may instance the Barbican, which, as we are assured, is an easy render- ing of the old word "burk-kennings" —watch tower. It is a little difficult in these days to believe that the area about Charing Cross was no more than a little village in the time of Edward I. Opinions differ as to the first meaning of the word "Cross" attached to the name of this hamlet, but it is known that it had the same signification that is discovered in other cases of the kind in London and the country. There have probably been cross roads here from time immemorial, but it is said that in the case of Charing Cross there was a more specific reason. Edward I is stated to have erected a cross in memory of his wife in the spot where the statue of Charles I was forward set up. Pecially, if we have the usual explanation given for its curious name, was so called because the first person to build a house in that neighborhood was interested in "pieddilos", by which name the stiff collars or ruffles formerly worn were originally known. Abundant evidence as to the marshy ground upon which a large part of the town was originally built is still to be recovered in such names as Frenchchurch Street, Finbury and Moorfields. Made Scene Too Realistic Columbus, O.-Too much realism has caused trouble for Roy W. Emig. Bert Kocher, who took the part of a whitecapper in Emig's play, "Scalp lock of Stony Lonesome," has sued Emig for $100 damages. In the play Kocher had the role of a Brown county whitecapper. After a bunch of make-believe Indiana university students had tied his hands and feet they could not. To make the scene more realistic, they wore a white hair. Kocher now says the hair-cutting gave him a cold and that he was humiliated in the sight of his friends. ss Rea Tee Sema SEER Re ose ge ee | g¥na aeeaeS fi y YEE ee PERSE EE SMO ere I IE ESR ORR ear Ee ter aL ee ter .

It flopped about very awkwardly at frst, but gradually learned to move freely, and was able at last to follow its master on his walks. : One day Henrik had to cross a bridge which was old and out of re- pair.

Johnson were new members elected also for three years. A report was made showing that over $1,000 had been paid on old debts during the year, and there was a working balance in the treasury of over $200. The most of this money was brought in during the rally now going on and which will not close for several weeks. The annual election of Mars Lodge G. U. of O. F., was held at its hall, University and Farrington avenues, Wednesday evening. It was the largest meeting that has been held for a long time. The result of the election was as follows: Annual officers—Rev. H. P. Jones, Worthy Chaplain; S. L. Ranney, Worthy Advocate; Samuel Hatcher, Worthy Treasurer; J. W. Kelly, Permanent Secretary; S. H. Brown, Trustee; F. D. Parker, Auditor. The semi-annual officers are: I. Dillingham, N. G.; Leonard Ford, V. G.; B. C. Adams, E. S.; J. W. Bridges, P. N. F.; B. R. Durant, P. N. F. The installation will occur Jan. 22. Miss Lucile James entertained at a January dinner on Monday, Jan. 6. It was her birthday anniversary, and all her friends whose birthdays occur this month were present. The honored guests Misses Clara Howard, Cora Cuthbert, Loomis; Messrs. Predator and Ed. Barton. The decorations were in pink white and the place cards were real little cakes and tiny candles. Each guest received a souvenir. The girls Defective Page were presented silk handbands and the men silk tie racks. In the evening Miss James gave a progressive whist party. Mr. Fred Parker and Miss Eunice Glass won the first prizes and Miss Edith Moore, of Minneapolis, won the booby prize. PARCELS POST INFORMATION. St. Paul, Minn. Jan. 4, 1913. Publisher, THE APPEAL. Sir: Although the newspapers from time to time have published information with reference to the parcel post system, in operation since January 1, 1913, it is evident that many people do not fully understand the essential points with reference thereto, and therefore I respectfully request that you publish for the information of your readers, that: 1. Distinctive parcel post stamps must be used on all fourth-class matter, that such matter bearing ordinary stamps will be treated as "held for postage." 2. That parcels will be mailable only at the post office, the branch post offices, or the numbered stations designated by the postmaster, or presented to rural or other carriers duly authorized to receive such matter; 3. All parcels must bear the return card of the sender, otherwise they will not be accepted for mailing. 4. It will also be understood that parcel post stamps are not valid for payment of postage on matter of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd class, nor can any of said classes be accepted at the parcel post rate of postage. 5. Registration of parcels has been discontinued, but instead parcels are insured against loss in an amount equivalent to its actual value, up to $50. Respectfully, O. H. Neegaard; Supt. of Mails.

Harry Fields, a very recent, melodramatic, comedy star, has cast his destinies with a burlesque combination this season, and claims to be very well content with the measure of success accorded him. Fields has been so long identified with the "Give me the papers" type of entertainment that his numerous friends in this and other cities will doubtless evince considerable interest in his progress in this new (to him) field of activity. The customary young and beauteous chorus is promised us, and the names of Miss Lilla Brennan, Miss Blanche Curtiss, Miss Edith Webster and Miss Anna Woods are mentioned as sustaining the principal feminine roles.

We clip the following from one of our exchanges to warn our delinquent subscribers what a hot time they will have if they fail to pay their newspaper bills. The same fate awaits our slow-paying advertisers: "An editor who died of starvation was being escorted to Heaven by an angel sent for that purpose. "May I just glance in at the other place before we ascend to eternal happiness?" So they went below and skirmish around, taking in the sights. It so happened that the angel lost track of the editor and went around Hades hunting him. He found him sitting himself and humming furnace, fanning himself and humming with rapture upon a crowd of lost souls in the fire. Over the furnace was a sign bearing the words, "Delinquent subscribers," "Come, said the angel, 'we must be going now.' You go on,' said the editor, 'I'm not going. This is heaven enough for me."

There was some crowd there and the ladies wore some gowns. Attorney W. T. Francis acted as master of ceremonies. The program consisted of overture by the McCullough Orchestra, singing of the "Star Spangled Banner" by the audience, introduction speech by Mr. J. A. Hanley, reading of the Emancipation Proclamation by Mr. C. H. Miller; an address by Attorney General Lyndon Smith, replete with words of encouragement; solo by Mr. C. D. Jackson, "Why we are Here," by S. E. Hall; quartette, C. H. Miller, L. A. Jackson, Mrs. Mattie Campbell, J. H. Hickman, Jr.; Our Motto, by Mr. F. D. Parker and a solo by Mrs. Harriet Loomis-Oliver. Every number on the program was excellently made, was roundly applauded. Mayor Keller was to have made an address but was seventeen from being present by sickness. After its dances dancing was indulged in until a late hour. The members of the Patriarchy were present in full regalia and made a splendid appearance. The whole affair from start to finish was a splendid success due in no small measure to the efforts of the members of the committee: S. L. Ransom, chairman, W. T. Utley, C. Jackson, J. H. Hanley.

SOMPLEXIONS IN OLD ROM® Strenuous Efforts Made by Women of Ancient Daye to Appear Beautiful. Our modern dame is decidedly half hearted in her following after beauty when compared with the falr fashion. ables of ancient Rome. It was the fashion at that time for a lady of high degree to repair to her perfumed bath at about 10:30 in the morning and re main in it for something like an houf, At the end of that time she was rubbed down, not with soft towels, but with pumice stone, and when this salutary “isclplinc Was completed she went ght away Into the complexion de- partment and clapped on a cataplasm Invented by the Empress Poppea her- aelf, and never removed except upon the arrival of a distinguished stranger, unless, of course, the fair dame was ‘thinking of sallying forth in her char lot to drink in the admiration of the ‘outside masculine world.
