PEDDLERS OF ROME
PUMPKIN SEEDS STILL SOLD AS

the Vendors.

Rome.--The majority Of the lower
classes In Rome do most Of their mar
keting and shopping in the streets.
and this custom accounts for the large
number Of peddlers. hucksters and
itinerant vendors who crowd the city.
These street merchants are divided
into two classes, those who cater to
the. foreigner and sell mosaics. old
coins and fragments of marble OF
dubious authenticity, flowers. bits of
brocade. shawls OF Roman silk, picture
post cards and even alleged Turkish
carpets, and the others, who are more
numerous and whose wares are for
the exclusive use Of the native house
holder. To the latter class, for in

to date back to classic times. when
pumpkin seeds we're sold during the
gladiatorial games In the Circus Max
linus and Coliseum.
A frequent sight in the streets OF
Rome ls that of men, and very often
boys. with strings OF plated onions
and garlic slung over their shoulders
who cry their wares with the full
force OF southern lungs. They come
from Naples and the Abruzzi. and II
you question them they assure you
that they are selling the produce OF
their own little farms
But no genuine Roman will believe
such statement. as the conviction
prevails, based probably on the cheap
ness OF the price. that the onions and
garlic sold In the streets OF Romc
have been purlolned.
Although summer is the season oil
the itinerant vender who travels about
from street to street calling on the
passerby TO buy his wares, which he
carries on wooden tray strapped 10
