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.

She Jumped to her feet.

Terry posed me so many times and
was altogether painstaking, (hat his
'efforts should be rewarded with suc
cess," she said.
"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.
