It's simply matter Of heredity.
for it's a fact-painfully true. but
glar.ngly self-evidcnt-thatt the Egyp-

In stocking up their dressing tables
with cosmetics in their quest for

Recently there has been placed
on exhibition by Anton Heltmuller.

Egyptian beauty Jars and perfume
bottles. showing conclusiveiy that
Cleopatra was not the only sirnn OF
her country. There are the long.
slim bottles that were called tnar
bottles up to few years ago. when
afchaeologlsts declared them moth
for various sorts of rare perfume.
There are fat bowls that could very
easily be used for powder today
and ivorv boxes that would prove
tust the thing for lip salve or a tiny
jar of cold cream.
The Original Perfume.
In some cases particles OF the

so thoroughly dried on the surface
that 4 would be almost impossible
to remove them for analysis. 1t Is
for this reason. perhaps. that the
beauty-seeker Of the present day
has not made use OF the same recipes
for cosmetics as did her Egyptian
ancestor.
All the dressing table accessories
are OF glass. but no one would ever
know 1t. Buried underground for
Dfty centuries, the surface OF the
glass has been covered by de-
post OF some sort that has encrust-
ed 1t with the loveliest Of opales-
not pure white. but distinctly sea
green in hue. With the mineral
overlay the general effect Is that
of turquoise matrix cleaning
through fairy veil of rainbow
haze.
There. is one tall. slim vase with
n relatively small base and a broad
spreading mouth that probably was
used for toilet water or one of the
less precious perfumes. There Is no
attempt at ornament, but the beauty
of line and the blush glaze on the
surface are sufficient to awaken
comment
Unguent Boxes.
A couple Of squatty little boxes
without covers irresistibly suggest
very secret and precious unguents.
One Is OF yellow. with a curious twist

Evidently the far away Il. e.
damsels had smelling-salts. and We
may suppose that they had Mysteries
for there is a series OF five or six
little bottles shaped much like our
Ninaigrcttes. These were probably
carried with a loop Of grass or cord
over their projecting rims. for they
are so rounded that they Will not

Gem of the Collection.
One gem OF the collection is an urn
with the mouth very carefully
shaped. evidently to facilitate pour

tainer for one of the oils that formed

OF the beauties OF the Nile. About
