female parliament. which held its sittings
near the Quirinal. and published edicts for
the regulation OF all matters connected
with the morals, dress etiquette and
equipages of the matrons.
The site of this female parliament has
now been identified by Prof. Pasqui. who
discovered the remains OF a building under
the palace OF the Marchesa Bourbon del
Monte. close 10 the Porta SalaIia. Two
female marble statues without heads and
arms We're found lying on the pavement OF
"A large room, the walls OF which bear
traces OF coiorcd frescoes. Fragments OF
marble columns which originally sup
ported the roof OF a large hall or assembly
room also were found. The identification
OF the site is based on the special kind OF
dress and sandals worn by the two stat
ues, which are almost Identical to the
tunlc and shoes which were the insignia
OF Senatorial rank.
The location of the site between the
gardens OF Sallust and the Baths OF
Diocletian. on the Quirinsl hill. CORE
spends to the description OF another his
torian. Voplscus, who relates that Aure-
liam restored the female parliament. A So
called "conventus matronalis," or associa-
ton of matronH, probably preceded the
female parliament, the identification oil
which will undoubtedly be used as AZ
argument in favor OF modern female SUI
frage.

BERLIN, June l1.---Richard Strauss 5
fftleth birthday Is being celebrated in
many German opera houses to-day BY
the production OF his operas The Royal

complimentary title OF general musical
director. although he wields the baton only
on rare occasions, and then generally
when his own works sre performed Is

Richard Strauss, unlike his fellow
countryman Hauptmann, who recently
celebrated his fiftieth birthday. is stun in
his prime. The music of THE Legend OF

up TO the composers standard.
At present Strauss is working on a
new opera, Of which nothing Is known be-

written by Hugo Won Hofmansthal. the
author OF "Elektra," "Ariadne." "Rosen-

one OF the most conspicuous figures In

age was stlll struggling to obtain recog-
milton for his early operas. Whether or
not Strauss will hold a permanent place
among the great composers time alone can
tell But Germans believe that "Elektra.'

leben Tod und Verklaerung" and some
be recognized as the finest product OF his
time, with "Ariadne" as a bright example
OF witty mastership.
In anticipation OF his birthday stories
about Strauss appeared in the papers for
weeks. From these one gathers that he
T, Is man OF high mentality. with re-
markable powers of concentration. He
