Strolling Through Pompeii.

One Of the unique charms Of Pompeii
is the view 1t gives Of the civic and do
nestle life Of the Romans. Here you
may see the temples, courts, theaters,
baths and fountains, but also the
humber evidence Of human life, such
as the homes, stores and strests, the
latter even possessing ruts in the stone
made by generations of passing chari-
OTIS. You may visit the stone mills and
the jar store, the bakery and the soap
shop. The treasures Of Pompeii are
now In the National Museum ut Naples,
but to actually walk the streets OF the
destroyed city Is much more interesting
than viewing curios in glass cases. Il
is hard to escape the feeling that it
Is a city being built and that the
builders have simply left for lunch and
