3ARBERS OF ANCIENT TIMES
ntroduced into Rome From Sicily
Their Shops Became the Re-
sorts of the Fashionable
Professional barbers are said to
(lave been introduced into Rome by
fdenas from Sicily of which island he
was praetor in the days of Cicero
Under the empire their shops in some
instances became fashionable resorts
at which every luxury of the tolletf
was enjoyed and the gossip and news-
of Rome and ' the empire were dis
cussed The means luxury and weak-
aesses of personal adornment therein
carried to excess is amply immortal
zed In the pages of Terence Plautus
Horace Juvenal and Martial Other
barber shops were more retired as we
learn from the annals of the Emperor
Commodus who having wearied at
times of the wholesale tragedies of
the Coliseum wherein armies and
fleets engaged in murder at his savage
behest and being desirous of a little
humorous diversion used like the
Caliph of Bagdad -in the Arabian
Nights to disguise himself and sally
forth accompanied by two or more of
his favorites and having hired a bar
ber's shop suitable for his purpose
would place one of his men at the
door to solicit custom Having se-
cured a customer the emperor-barber
would politely affix the towel and ap-
ply the lather all the time keeping
up a running fire of he latest jests
and little pleasantries until the cus-
tomer and himself 'were almost over-
come with laughter Then the keen-
edged razor would slip and among re-
grets and proffers of assistance the
noseless victim would be assisted to
the rear of the shop where between
threats and bribes he was kept from
making a riot until one or two more
victims were added to the number and
Commodus tired of his demoniac
pleasantry was ready to return to the
palace or the arena—Charles Winslow
Hall in the National Magazine
Appearances Deceitful
It was high noon when he entered
the crowded restaurant He stood
fully six feet three inches In height
was built in proportion and must
have weighed at least 250 pounds As
he strode down between the rows of
tables he looked as if he could eat
up the house He took a seat beside
a diminutive fussy little man with a
bald head and chop whiskers who
was bravely and successfully polish-
ing off a sirloin steak with onions
The little fellow with his napkin tight-
ly wedged under his chin and his
mouth full of dinner looked up in
wonder at his gigantic side partner
and then down at the frail cane-bottomed
chair which creaked and
groaned piteously under its immense
weight But the big fellow took no
notice of the little one When the
waitress approached him he gave his
order in businesslike fashion
"Bring me" said he in a falsetto
voice "a cup of weak tea and a
couple of doughnuts"
Quest of Quietude
"It's a long way to look forward"
said Mr Cumrox "but -I constantly
find myself wishing the Fourth of July
would come 'round again"
"Is life too slow for you?"
"I shOuld say not Mother and the
girls are getting up lawn parties and
afternoon teas and sailing trips and
motor excursions and a lot of other
things It's getting so that the Fourth
of July seems like the only safe and

:
ARGUMENT I
10!
Hortense gave the steering bar of I
her electric brougham a vicious little
'jerk
"I think you are particularly silly
to-day Billy" she declared "I
'wouldn't have agreed to let you ride
Into town with me this morning if I
bad known you were going to talk
such nonsense"
"Let me remonstrate with you for
trying to take these corners on the
fly meekly retaliated Billy "You
have a habit of confusing your elec-
tric with an aviation machine How-
ever to come back to the subject at
issue I have never before talked quite
so well or so seriously in my life as p
I did just a moment ago As I have
covered the same ground 6n numer-
ous occasions before perhaps it is
just as well to let me down at the
next suburban station"
"Oh no" said Hortense noncha-
lantly "It's really a very warm day
to ride in on the train and besides
you missed the last express while
you waited for me to have the elec-
tric brought around I bate to take
the run in alone anyway You know
Billy it isn't that I don't care for:
you a lot—a big lot I just can't
think of being engaged to any one
person There are others who need
my friendship and advice"
"I see" remarked Billy dryly "You
might manage a little arrangement
whereby you could be engaged to Tom
on Wednesdays to Jim on Fridays
and to me on Sundays"
"Don't be flippant" commanded
Hortense turning a corner at an an-
gle that caused Billy's hair to stand
on end
"You see" she went on pensively
"I really feel that I owe something
to those who are dependent upon me
for my advice and inspiration Tom
has just got into corporation law and
he says that I have helped untangle
some of the knottiest cases he has
had Not directly of course but just
by my interest and encouragement
If I were to become engaged to you
Billy I could no longer help Tom and
keep a record of his failures and suc-
cesses When he wins a case I use
a red pencil to make a record with
and when be loses a case I use a
black one"
"How interesting" commented Bil-
ly "From what rve seen and heard
I infer that your red pencil had 'not
been worn down very much"
"I hate jealous men" remarked
Hortense "Besides it isn't just Tom
There is -Kenneth too He is up
here doing engineering work and
every time be loses his temper and
tries to run the manager he tele-
phones me and I think up a nice lit-
tie sisterly talk to give him when he
comes down He says he benefits
wonderfully by my calm even dispo-
sition and cool logical views He is
a southerner you know and they
have such tempers don't -you think
so?"
-
"I should say they do" agreed Billy
"In fact temper takes the place of
brains with some men that I could
mention"
"I have near me now a most strik-
ing example of that sort" retorted
Hortense showing her dimples
"There's another thing Billy If I
did become engaged to you I should
be dreadfully exacting I should
want you to give up your clubs and
I should run away every ' time you
talked about baseball and prize fights
You know I hate all those things
You would have to talk about grand
opera and higher education and—
and domestic science and all sorts
of things that you don't know any-
thing about You would hate me in
a week wouldn't you Billy?"
"I'll take chances on that any time"
returned Billy "I can buy the libret-
tos and read up on grand opera and
I have a college degree tucked away
somewhere that I could haul out
Then I can cook and sew on buttons
really remarkably well In fact com-
ing down to a specific comparison of
tastes and ideas in common I appear
to be the one man in the world for
you You can see that youresif"
"We're almost in town" said Hor-
tense hurriedly "Would you get
white poplin or pique to pipe a lav-
ender dress?"
"Why if I were the sweetest little
girl in the world—which you are—I
should turn down this next street and
go to a certain Jewelry shop and let
a certain man have the third finger
of the left hand sized for—"
"But I have loads of shopping to
do" remonstrated Hortense with 7ery
red cheeks "and you are late for the
office and anpow it is all very silly
and I know you will be sorry and re-
gret it"
"You have passed by the street I
asked you to turn down" remarked
Billy in a quietly restrained voice
Then being a tactful man he was
silent as Hortense's little hand on the
steering bar of the electric slowly
turned the machine around
Curious Seismic Phenomenon
According to a Seville report a curl-
ous 4eismic phenomenon was recently
observed near Cantillana at a place
caper Mesa Redonda From ten in
the morning uttil noon stones lying
on the ground at certain spots within
a circumference of over 50 yards
were torn from the ground and hurled
into the air and at the same ttme
subterranean noises were heard
Traces of an extinct volcano are vis-
ible at the spot and it is believed
