SOUGHT TO ENHANCE CHARMS
Roman Beauties Well Knew the Value
Of Time Spent at the Toilette
Table.

The toilette of the Roman beauty
was a vastly important affair. The
maids who assisted In 1t were usually
Greek slaves, and the length of time
devoted to 1t may be judged from the
fact that, like beauties Of France so
many centuries later, the Roman
woman often had the poets and the
philosophers of the day to divert her
during Its progress, favor of which
they seem to have been less apprecia-
tive than their descendants In France
The equipment for the toilette was
both elaborate and complete. Combs,
mirrors Of FURNISHED bronze, bottles
for perfumes and boxes for rouge and
whitening preparations are all to be
found In collections Of Roman toilette
articles, and many are the harsh
words on the subject Of the feminine
toilette to be found In the writings Of
their masculine contemporaries who
disapproved Of charm In their women,
yet seem with masculine inconsistency
20 have disapproved equally Of women
without cnarm
