Remains observations:
women were naturally attracted, their po-
stion in society being humble and precarious,
to q Christian community which offered them
protection widows especially had had few
rights which any one respected Many were
opposed to giving them religious instruction.
The Talmud spoke of the gossiping and in
uusitive widow as a pest Of mankind. The
new religion offered them sure and honorable
asylum The nuns and the sisters of charity
were one of the first creations of the church,
and the word widow became q synonym for
one devoted to religious work"
The historian who was himself skeptic,
declares woman never had a religious con-
science, a moral individuality or an opinion
Of her own previous to Christianity" 1t would
appear that this new faith near the centers
of its power had begun to mitigate the curse
TN about IS years after their great Champion
had given up his life we begin to learn of
notable women. In certain of them st. Paul
had discovered great qualities. There was a
deaconess Of the name Of Phoebe who lived at
the port of Corinth Of whom he wrote: "She
is a succorer Of many and of mine own self"
1t is evident that Paul esteemed her highly.
He trusted other women with important work,
notably Priscilla. There were these also who
won more or less distinction in the work Of
the Church: Damaris of Athens, Chloe Of
Corinth, Mary, Tryphena, Persis and TryphOSa
Of Rome, and Appia Of Colossae Doubtless
these women were friends of the great apostle,
but his approval was qualified. In Al assem-
blieS they were to hold their tongues. Whv7

Had not the frst Of their sex used her tongue
to talk with serpent?
In the nrst three centuries many Of the
disabilities of women under the law were re-
moved. The adoption of females was first per-
mitted by q decree Of Dioeletian in 291. Claud-
nus made it possible for her TO make will and
q contract. She had become almost human
being.
Before the time OF st. Jerome woman had
acquired some skill in climbing the social lad
der She could indulge in a degree of dalliance
without being drowned like superfuous cat.
Christian women were no longer content with
the beauty of the spirit. They bathed in
scented water. They were mostly patricianS,
and they chung to youth with paint and powder
and were inclined to overemphasize their
charms They wore silk and fine linen and
dainty slippers. The letters of the good St.

illuminating rules Of etiquette and behavior
for women. The fash Of his singing periods
gives us a bright light on social conditions in

A. D. 3S4:
LET long haired youths, dandihed and wan
ton never be seen under your roof. Repel q
singer as you would some bane. Do not arro-
gate to yourself widows license and appear
in public preceded by a host Of eunuchs"
1t would seem it was bad form for a widow
to have any man. save a eunuch, in her service,
and that singers were not 10 De trusted
Again he writes:
"And do not out of affection follow the
sickly tastes Of married ladies who, now press
ing their teeth together, now keeping them
apart speak with a lisp and purpoSely clip their
words because they fancy that to pronounce
them naturally is a mark Of country breeding"
At last women had begun to take on re-
semblance to certain of their modern sisters.
He complains Of women with wardrobes cram

from day to day." He decries "the women
who paint their eyes and lips and whose chalk
ed faces are like those OF idols Upon their
cheeks every chance tear leaves a furrow. They
heap their heads with hair not their own They
behave like trembling schoolgirls IN the pres

He recommends the household bread and
