cisterns, which are often large enough to
accommodate from thirty TO forty washer
women at once.
Here not only individuals but the pro-
fessional washerwomen as we'll gather 20
wash clothes, and with much fun and
laughter amuse themselves while at their
work by singing ~improvised verses, some
times with rhyme. sometimes without, at
the expense Of one another. Not unfre-

NJ the day the picturesque figures Of pea5'
ants, from young attractive girls with their
pretty curly hair and laughing eyes TO
old women whose last esOurce is a sharp
tongue, NAV be seen.
Their costumes vary according to the
different tastes Of the wearers. Red gen.
orally predominates, and II gives a dash
Of color to the surroundings, which in
variably form a striking background TO
the picture. On warm sunny days their
heads are protected by the ~tovaglia. a
white handkerchief, which sets OF their
dark faces.
The country women. like their city
colleagues, indulge in song while at their
work, When the clothes are all washed
the women pack them in baskets, which
they carry on their heads when they return
to their houses. There the clothes are
hung 10 dry, strung like flags on strings
from one window to another.
A characteristic trait Of washerwomen in
town and country is their loveof gossip, and
they are undeniably the greatest scandal
mongers Of Italy. They are past masters
al putting two and two together.
Half a rumor to them means a verified

The conversation was q musical one, a.
both women were singing, but the words
Of their song we're ~improvised. He was
principally attracted by one OF the voices,
which was most effective and az clear as a
silver bell.
Being aware that should he approach
the fountain the singing would cease, he
stood some distance away and listened.
What was his astonishment when he dis
covered that the subject Of the song was
himself and his valet.
One woman was telling the other that
the new valet Ettore Of the Signore Ameri-
cano was a great, impudent impostor, who
not only played the master when the head
Of the house was absent but also used his
clothes and his toilet articles. The episode
was treated in a humorous vein. while the
burden OF the improvised song, taken up
in chorus by a. the women, commented
on the stupidity Of the American.
It ia needless to say that this chance
discovery led to the dismissal Of the valet
and the w~asherwoman. TO the great aston
ishment Of both.

fact; family Skeletons are aired 10 the
critical gaze Of the public, while the private
affairs Of their clients are dragged to light.
They freely discuss their own family Affairs,
such as the case Of the young girl deserted
by her lover, the lucky winner Of the lottery,
and the village feast. Very often this free
discussion Of private family topics leads
70 quarrels.
In connection with the Roman washer
woman's love Of gossip the following Incl
dent may be told. An American gentleman
had spent many years in Rome, knew Ital-
ian very well and was familiar with the
various customs. One day as he was pass
ing near a washing fountain he heard a
very lively conversation going on between

odved In astonishing good humor. A
remarkable trait among Italians Is the good
nature with which they take personal
jokes, and as a rule they are stHkingly
callous TO rdicule. especially with regard
70 their personal defects,
The washing Of clothes in Rome is a very
profitable trade, and the number Of washer
women Is legion. Unlike other large cities,
Rome has no regular laundry establish
ments, and all the washing is done by women
In the public fountains. They go to the
hotels and private houses every week,
collect the soiled linen and return it in a few
days washed and dried, together with a
list scrubbed on a scrap Of paper wherein
the price Of each article ia marked.
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1908-03-15

Some families have the washing done
In their houses, which art provided with
a special fountain in the basement at the
disposal Of the tenants, Many Of the old
Roman palaces have the fountain in a
secluded part Of the garden, picturesquely
situated on a ledge Of artificial rocks. under
a canopy Of green foliage. where a con-
tinuous stream Of water flows from two
marble heads Of ancient make, and after fill
ing a marble basin trickles through the
stones In a diminutive waterfall.
The public washing OF clothes is not
confined to Rome alone, as in every coun-
try own and village a large washing cistem
is always provided by the authorities for
the use Of every one, Here at all hours

ruler and "a light for after time"
This commanding personality had a
magnificent physique. He stood over six

Workmanship, agility and strength-the

His constitution was of iron and he
knew how to keep it so. His b~iographers
declare that in eating and in drinking as
in all things he was normal; enjoying
the juice oflthe malt all the days of his
life. He drank it around campfires, as
well as in his own home and upon social
and state occasions.
Furthermore, upon his Mount Vernon
plantation he had a brew house, as was
