sECRETIvE ROMANS.
They DO Not Want Strangers TO See
Their Household Arrangements.

Marion Crawford In the Century,
IL seems to he part OF the real sim
plicity OF the Italian Latin to put on
quite useless look OF mystery on all occa-
sions. and to assume the air or conspira-
tor when buying a cabbage and more
than one great foreign writer has fallen
into the error OF believing the Italian
character to be profoundly complicated.
One Is apt TO forget that II needs much
deeper duplicity to maintain an appear
ance of franknese under trying circum-
stances than TO make a mystery OF ones
marketing and profound secret OF ones
cookery. There are few things which the
poor Italian more dislikes than to be
watched when he is buying and preparing
his food. though he will ask any one to
share IL with him when II Is ready; but
he is almost as prone TO hide everything
else that goes on inside his house, unless
he has fair warning OF visit, and full
time to prepare himself for II.
This Is perhaps not entirely a race pc
culiarity, but rather survival OF me-
diseval life as IN was all over Europe.
There are pretty clear indications In our
own literature that the ladies and gen.
temen Of POO or 800 years ago did not
like 10 be caught unprepared by inquisi-
tive visitors. The silks and satins in
which they are portrayed would not have
lasted lifetime, as they did. IN they had
been worn every day. As for the cleanli-
ness of those times. the less said about
II the better.
which not a single aqueduct was In work
ing order. and II was a trade to clear a
supply OF water out OF the Tiber from a
portion OF the yellow mud by letting II
settle in reservoirs. and 10 sell IL In the
streets for all household purposes. Who
washed in those days? IL Is safer to ask
the question now than IL would have been
then Probably those persons washed
who were the fortunate owners OF a
house well or a rain-water cistern. and
those who had neither did not. Perhaps
that was very much the same all over
Europe IL Is certainly to the credit OF
Trastevere that IL Is not dirty place to-
day. by Italian standards
