glamour could always be kept at its peak
To take Antony as history tells us she
did more than once. on that long, hot dusty
waterless trip overland 90 silva was to show
herself to him, with her charms much below
par disadvantage which no woman would
infiict on herself, except for some compelling
reason.
There could have been only one reason for
going to silva, the oracle That oracle seems
to have advised her shrewdly and when she
went alone IT did not matter how she looked
Antony rcvcred the oracle but he was hot
headed and headstrong with ideas Of his own
When he was about TO go contrary TO the
oracle's advice what surer way TO make him
listen to reason than 10 make him listen 10 the
voice Of the god himself echoing mystcriously
in the cavern below the temple?
There is little reason to think Cleopatra
loved Caesar or Antony She was a patriotic
woman striving 10 save her weak country from
the devourng monster of Rome.
But why did she run away from the naval
battle Of Actium? Probably she thought that
for once she knew better than the oracle
Well she knew that she had made Caesar I'M
popular and been a large factor in causing
his assassination She had seen how her in
fuence had weakened Antony's popularity at
Rome and may have had an inspiration that
it was time TO transfer her charm to young
Octavius whose star was rising But Octavius
escaped her power by the simple expedient
of refusing to let the dangerous woman get
near him.

However, from the psychologists point Of
view the smell did not matter but the Senussi

When Ahmed Kakhry arrived he found the

the long nose of the crocodile god though he
is supposed To have lived. like the animal

water that none is ever frittered away in
bathing and for the same reason they are
frugal about laundering. When a native Of
