one We are most loath to see destroyed,

With regard to table decorations It
is hardly necessary to say that in the
days of the Romans floral displays
were nothing less than extravagant,
though the designs may have lacked
the elaboration now necessitated by
the exigencies of public modern taste
Roses especially, above all other
blooms, were in high favor and Law
ishly distributed about the dining
halls; indeed, it is to a rose that we
owe a very common expression. A
bunch of these flowers often hung
from the ceiling and was taken as a
sign that the subject Of conversation
must be confldential-hence the ex-
preston sub rosa.

The exigencies of luxury and love OF
display led many Romans into ex-
tremes, both with regard to general
surroundings and to actual articles OF
food. One of the gallantries du temps
was marked by showering down upon
the assembled guests, through the
open ceiling, flowers and rose petals
in such quantities as to prove uncom-
Portable for the recipients of such IA
vors. Even less extravagant hosts
covered the floors of their rooms with
rose petals and the guests were pre-
scented with wreaths of the same love
ly bloom, as 1t was said to have the
property of neutralizing the fumes of
the wine; amethysts, which were be-
lieved to have the same effect, were
worked into the wreaths. The women
adorned themselves with flowers Just
as they do now, with the difference
that the Victoria showers" and the
stiff buttonholes of our day had not
yet been invented, but the amethyst
was never added. possibly because
they were proof against the danger OF
intoxication, for it was not etiquette
for them to partake of wine in public.
