.<HE weather-scarred skeleton of the
 little circular Temple of Vesta

T<HE weather-scarred skeleton of the
 little circular Temple of Vesta
 has for centuries clung to it's de- caying foundations in the Roman Forum, a broken symbol of the very heart and soul of the Rome that was the capital of the ancient world.
 For a thousand years, the fairest and purest daughters of the empire re- nounced the world that the sacred fire within the temple might bes s1apt ablaze to hold the favor. of the mytArA Vesta, protectress of the state and' goddess of the domestic hearth.
 Then, about the year 38A vixen the Emperor Constantine adopted Christian fly as the state religion of Mhe, Vesta wa. thrown out with the rest of the pagan gods and goddesses and her tenn pie was abandoned to vandals and the ravages of time.
 \ The sacred flame that had burned for ten centuries fiickered and went out, and it's romantic symbolism was forgotten. The last survivor of the Vestal Virgins was thrown from the temple in an at tempt to stop woman from stealing a valuable necklace from one of the statues in the holy place; the richly decorated marble panels were stripped from the walls and the shrine of na- tion became deserted ruin.
 Now, after fifteen centuries, the Italian government is to restore the beautiful little circular temple. Its graceful marble colonnade, it's pure white walls will rise from the dust and again encircle the altar on which the sacred flame will be rekindled.
 The recent announcement that the Temple of Vesta is to be rebuilt has aroused worldwide interest, for the wondrous story of the rise and fall of Rome is the property of all nations and the symbolism of Vesta's sacred fire priceless page in the history of the human race.
 The remnants of the building are hardly sufficient for the skilled workers who will restore it to carry out their task, but the likeness of the beautiful circular structure is preserved on an- eient Roman coins which will be used as models in the reconstruction work.
 But why, some have asked, go to all the trouble and expense of rebuilding pagan temple that means little in this enlightened day?
 Because the story of the goddess ,Vesta and the Vestal Virgins is one of the most romantic in history, and be- cause the colorful background of the Italian nation is centered in the sacred flame that was kept alive for a thousand years.
 The most generally accepted Latin legend concerning the Temple of Vesta relates that Numa Pompilius built the temple when he established Rome as the capital of the Roman Empire, and that he placed four priestesses in charge of a central fire near the spring of Juturna, supposed to be the source of holy water.
 These priestesses, then known as ritual daughters of the king" were charged to mind both the fire and the water and their duties were deemed of the highest importance to the life of the nation.
 That the Emperor Numa and the Romans of his day should attach so much importance to the keeping of a

 suggestion of social taint both in their public and in their private lives; the child had to be physically beauti- full and mentally sound.
 Imagine the excitement of a little Roman maid when she left her father and mother to become a sort of nun in the beautiful temple in the Forum and to live in the luxurious marble palace that was the home of the Vestals.
