take notice The ancient Romans liked

They Had Other Advan
tages Over Us in Home
Comforts, Too.

There Is at least ono place on the face
Of the earth where no servant problem
eNists-at least, not as we know it, The
problem in Italy. according to George
sawyer Kellogg, who lcctured yesterday
afternoon at Columbia University. is how
TO re. rid of your servant by anything
short OF main force.
The subject OF Mr.. Kellogss lecture
was not the problem that continues to
vex. but was "The Life of the Ancient
Romans I'm the Home"
THE Romans had no servant prob
lem" said Mr.. Kellogg, because they
used slaves. and the modern Italians
have inherited devoted service from the
times OF their old Roman ancestors.
The servant In modern italy clings
closer than a brother; all the family Sc
crets and joys and sorrows belong TO
her She shares all diSappointments and
rcjoices with every bit OF happiness that
comes into the house. It's really awful
To get back TO America"-Mr. Kellogg
has been living 70: the last seven years
in Italy-"and find that it doesn't mat
ter a whoop 10 your servant, If you hap
pen to be lucky enough 10 secure one
whether you are alive or dead"
But the ancient Romans in their homes
had more advantages over us than the
mere absence OF n servant question.
Consider the aesthetic JOY. for in
stance, OF dining in Roman dining
room as described by Mr.. Kellogg.
THE large windows OF the room opened
on the peristyle, n beautiful columned
court. with fountains playing and lowers
perfuming the air. The tables were built
near the windows, and. reclining on the
soft cushions at their sides, the diners
could look out into the gardens and
watch the butterflies and fountains and
sniff the flowers"
The proper number for Roman dinner
PARTY, according TO Mr.. Kellogg. was
nine, but that would hardly do in these
days. when a hostess's despair Is an UNI
even number OF guests.
THE Romans were intensely practical
said Mr.. Kellogg. and to avoid disasters
when the soup was being passed they had
little tables for the children, who sat on
small chairs. instead Of reclining OH cush-
Toned couches, as did their elders
Roman floors were the most sanitary
the housekeeping world has ever known.
They were made OF cubes OF marble. over
which rugs were placed These marble
cubes were usually arranged In artistic
designs"
In fact. practically everything used In
the Roman house had artistic value. Mr..
Kellogg showed pictures OF a number OF
colanders, with the holes punched after a
carefully thought out design. lie also
showed pictures OF bronze water pals,
with wonderfully executed designs around
the tops.
Just an ordinary pail, used for carry
ing water about the house" said Mr.
Kellogg, pointing TO one, but 1t would
he one OF the greatest treasures Of the
METROPOLITAN Museum II il possessed IT.
The furniture in a Roman house was
simple and there were few pieces, but
those that we have show that these few
were very beautiful in design and work

Take these dining room sideboards,
for instance" he said, pointing to the
picture on the screen. aren't they finer
