SOUGHT TO ENHANCE CHARMS Roman Beauties Well Knew the Value f Tlmo 8pent at the Toilette Table. The toilette of the Roman beauty was a vastly Important affair. The maids who assisted In It were usually Greek slaves, and the length of time devoted to Jt may be Judged from the fact that, like beauties of France so many centuries later, the llomun woman often had the poets and the philosophers of the day to divert her Airing Its progress, a favor of which they seem to have been less apprecia tive than their descendants In Prance. The equipment for the toilette was both elaborate and complete. Combs, mirrors of burnished bronze, bottles for perfumes and boxes for rouse and whitening preparations arc all to be found In collections of Roman toilette articles, and many are the harsh .rvrds 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 to have disapproved equally of women without maim.

Ono dark sight when I was driving along a lonely road, my horse became frightened and -refused to proceed. In looking ahead to discover the cause, I saw a ghost-like figure standing In the middle of the road.

"You looked " Janey mused, "so pretty, and, sort of wistful, sitting there Mollle I Do you know, that Is the way your eyes always Impress me, by their wlstfulness? Tell me, please, did you have an unhappy love affair? I wonder so much about ou at times I suppose, because I !oe jou. I would be your confidante, Mollle." The older woman gazed tenderlj, thoughtfully, Into the eager young face upraised to hers. "People would tell jou your own mother may have told jou, Janey that I was In a careless, unthinking way, noted years ago for my conquests. It wns at tho time considered eleer to flaunt one's cupttfhtiiig power. And I well, well, there were many young men who came to my uncle's home, and I, uncle's ward and charge, placed a merry game of heui'W with them all, my own heart ever untouched In the game. 'Some day, I hoped to find my true love, to marry and settle down to a life of devotion. And when he came, my own love, 1 knew him? knew him Instantly, by the thrill of joy that filled my days. And he loed me. That, I did not doubt. Why doubt the sincerity of this iiflin, when others hud been sincere? I think 1 lived In a dream " Miss Mollle's ejes were misty, a'cross the years; still her voice trembled Its sorrow. "I live on In that dream of the past," she ended, sadly. Janey's hands went out to her. "lie died then?" she questioned "your lover?" "I almost wish that I might tell jou so," Mollle hesitated. "No," she added, "for the first time, I will speak the truth. It was thought that John Douglas, like others, hud been Jilted. But one knew, and ufler John disappeared this friend of his came and told ire the truth. It was I whom John Douglas Imd Jilted, lieai tlcssly, and with a purpose. The friend said tluit he had been Instructed to tell me that John deliberately planned my punishment, as he had deliberately, and oh, so skillfully, acted his part. "He was charming In manner, you see,' and well known for his winning way with women. So, coming to our mall town, and hearing of my merry, neer-rnaj-care flirtations, John Doug las confidently and successfully planned the retaliation of winning ray own heart, to cast It ai caielcssly away. But this I could not guess, as hu held me close In his arms and bade me goodby, until tomorrow. " 'Tomorrow,' he promised gently, 'I will come back to you. Tomorrow, my denrest, watch for me.' "So, through all the tomorrow I have watched and waited; and have lived how wearily no ono may know my punishment." When Janey framed her friend's photograph and placed It upon her diesser, she was moved distressfully later to hide that same photograph away. For the sadness of Monic'a pictured eyes had a provoking trick of brlcglng quick tears to her own. "That man I" exclaimed Janey con temptously. "Fancy being true to the memory of such a creature." Tlier. one day, as Janey entered un announced Miss Mollle's sitting room, she faced u picture. And the two central figures facing the picture con tlnued, happily, oblivious of her pres ence. "It was fate I" the distinguished ap pearing man was saying, and even In her astonishment Janey responded sjmpathetlcally to the sincerity of that voice. "When I thought tlmt 1 had utterly lost you, Mollle when the never-ceasing longing brought .mo back to this old town to view again, if only In secret, jour face, I came upon that photograph In Terry's window. You, Mollle, had only forgiveness In the sweetness of your expression had only grieved appeal In your eyes. So I am here, dearest, for Hint punish ment I would have Inflicted upon you has long been my own." Janey cloeed the door noiselessly be hind' her, and wheu sho was again In ber own room, sho hummed a gay little song us she searched out her friend's picture and replaced It upon the dresser.
