Rooms which were used for various
purposes opened into the porticoes of the
peristylium, and are found in the second
story. They we're occupied chiefly BY the
servants The richly decorated ones
served as the wOmens apartments
(gynecaea), which were always in the
most secluded part OF the house.
The greatest effort will be made 10
restore to its original condition the Pom
peiian thoroUghfare, known as the Street
of Abundance. which was the centre OF
fashion and luxury, the Fifth Avenue"
it might be called, Of the ancient pleas
ure city.
On this street were the palaces facing
on a thoToughfare reserved for patricians
and behind them the dens devoted 20 Sc
cret orgies. There were the schools OF
the patrician children, and there within
a stones throw of them were the drink
ing saloons where wealthy Pompeiians
could meet with dancing girls and &C
tresses. There was the home OF the pa
trician, with all its high art and refine
ment and love Of letters, and opposite il
was the arena of the gladiator where the
master of the house could revel in blood
and every form of wickedness.
The Street OF Abundance was shut OF
by closely placed tall stone pillars. so
that chariots and other wheeled vehicles
could not pass through il. Ii was a corsO
such as Naples possesses to-day. There
was ample access to the palaces from the
rear.
The Street OF Abundance was lined
with shops and booths having show win
dows," and fitted with marble counters
upon which we're displayed only such
articles as entered into the Injuries and
elegancies OF life-toilet articles, per
fumes, scented unguents. choice fabrics,
jewels and art objects, sweetmeats. and
there were beauty parlors" adjoining
Roman baths luxuriously appointed for
the use of the Pompeiian Smart Set
What curious pictures OF Pompeif

scrubbed upon its walls. On the wall OF
palace kitchen in the Street OF Abund-
ance were the words:
"MUcius bolius. our master, was car.
ried home last night. dead drunk without
his purse or his toga, and placed noise

Even ire jokes are preserved. for In q
barber shop was written plainly.
"Barber-How shall / remove YOUR

The columns are coated with white

There was a wooden trellis between

used TO shut in wild animals and for va

There are remains OF many temples de-
voted TO the deities OF old Roman myth
Ulogy. which was probably regarded with
& good deal OF skepucism when Pompeii
reached its latest stage OF gaiety. Con
spicuous among these ruins Is the Temple
OF Mercury. with fine statue Of the god
before it. Mercury was the god o. thieves
and commerce. When worship is restored
in this temple many visitors will enter
il with appropriate reverence.
Reproductions OF scenes OF family life
in Pompeii will prove very attractive.

is written:
"Strax suspirium puellnrum." meaning
'Strax for whom the gtrls sigh He was
probably a fierce barbarian from some

Though these deadly contests aroused
most interest, the ordinary theatre was
not neglected An inscription written by
an irritated plebeisn on the gallery wall

state OF preservation. The frescoes
adjoining some of the walls, the broad
epigrams of the spectators carved over
the marble rails OF the balconies are
now coming TO light. furnishing priceless
material for the knowledge OF the In
innate social life of period when Rome
was at the height of her splendor and
power"
One OF the most interesting spots in
Pompeii is the ancient drinking bar.
which was uncovered from the ashes OF
nineteen hundred years ago with all its
fittings This will be restored TO use
and drinks OF various kinds served TO
thirsty tourists In the bar. as Il was
first unearthed, there was row of great
wine jars and there was the vintner. who
had persisted while he was pouring wine
into them in the fatal year 70 A. D.
There were the men and women
patrons OF the saloon lying on touches in
exquisitely painted recesses. Portions Of
their richly embroidered togas and pep
lums were still preserved. Drink had
made these people Indifferent to tho
doom that threatened them
The fittings were superb. The Jars
were made OF bronze and glass, mate
rial then novel and rare. The cups were
OF gold. The TIL was filled with a rich
harvest of golden aurei, silver sesterces
and little ivory coins. This place was
called "thermopolium"

Coomans will then become realities.
One OF the dwellings that will prob
ably be restored in this way is the beau
tiful palace OF the Roman millionaire,
Obellius Firmus One OF it's interesting
features is the peristylium, or columned
garden, in the centre Of the dwelling.
Here Obellius and his friends walked,
and their children played and ran about
among the beds of brilliant flowers, the
bronze bird cages and dens OF strange
animals.
In the centre were statues, fountains
forming cascades, tables and basins or
marble and bronzes. 1t was the favorite
living place of the family during the

Roman life with its many varied and in

around the once dreary brick ruins Of

houses with the large number OF domestic
utensils, furniture, implements and per

eaVated and placed IN the museums of
Naples and other cities. and with other
relics more recently found in Pompeii.

I. I. HILL MAY HELP
TO REBUILD BELGIUM
Friend of King Albert Studies
C0untry's Financing.
TBS Telegraph to The Tribune ]

St Paul. Feb. 15.- That James j.
Hill will be the central figure in the
reconstruction Of Belgium at the re-
quest of King Albert is reported on re-
liable authority A voluminous docu-
ment. penned BY the King Of Belgium,
dealing with the situation, has been de-
livered by special messenger to Mr.. Hill.
A plan of reconstruction of the
Frances of Belgium is said to be occu-
pying Mr. Hills time at Jekyl Island,
Ga, where he went several weeks ago
for a vacation.
When a young man King Albert
visited Mr.. Hill for more than month
and travelled over the Northwest and
the Pacific Coast. Soon after the war
broke out Mr. Hill sent King Albert
S25,0 900.
A commission recently visited this
country from Belgium to study plans
for reconstructing the country after
the war. The commission made a spe-
cial trip from Chicago to ST. Paul to
see Mr. Hill. ,,,,.
Those who are aware of Mr.. Hills
close friendship and sympathy for King
Albert say he will take up the task of
helping TO straighten out the finances
of the stricken country.
