The attracti n ot the exe does not become
more or let, like polit cal or religious creeds,
accotdingto the time when wider room Is made
for their action in the world. Men and women
xist for each other; and women In the days of
the Ron i an emperors, as to-riav, nted all their
lacnltiee and all their Ingenntty simply to please
men. We be literary women not to take
flense at our iftteroeiit. for It will bear a dis
passtomtte examination. The glrla of Boston or
XJew York are not more beautiful or ireeh than
were the girls of Pompeii: but are they not (list
s easer to look beaut iiul ?
We have yet to lenrn the A B C of Natnre, and
we believe tint she is lar wiser than any of the
philosophers, moralists, priests, or theologians
t our pious nineteenth cenutury. She kno ws
what she is about, and er nurds well the secret ol
her enchantments. And alio teaches women to
be women, as she teaches g rig how to be those
frail, delicate, untouched buds of loveliness,
which, like the succeeding springs of the eaith,
year after year, nmke Iresh under our eyea the
Virginity ot Beauty.
bo, in gently pushing open the door ot the
tlressine-rootu ot any wealth'1, lashionable
I'ompiliiii woman, we shall neither feel nor
show more iirprso at what we see there, than
if we were the priviledged intruder allowed to
look at, touch, and tumble the nameless knick
knacks and fancy articles that till the dressing
room o''our modern belles; since to day, as cen
turies ago. Fashion, with all its implements, is
but the accredited accomplice of Nature, and
serves her best when most successlulty it lends
its aid to complete in a woman's lace or figure
w hat JNutuie capriciously left imperfect.
Our social tonne beintr diffcrn! Irom those of
the days ot Pompeii, the pofitKn of woman in
poc:tt.v is also different, and n cessarily gives
her mucli more Influence. We have l'terary
women; they only had. here and v here, reading
women, like the daughter of Ovid, for instance,
whoss sweetness of character was not marred
by any rngulnnty or harsh, pclantio tone or
spirit. Our literary women, by i-oine unex
plained conjunction ol personal needs or losses,
hre too oltcn too inditlerent to the graces of
womanhood, and free from all the sweet necessi
ties of the womau-nature, to be aereablo. To
please does not seem to be the uppermost am
bition ot their natiue to be loved and admired
the end of their best efforts. Toey have entered
as competitors with men in the world of
letters, aud insist upon sharing the publicity
and the reputation of men. But those women
who are satisfied in simply being what women
can naturally be, and who, without lretlul scorn
lor what they cannot attain, or helpless vanity
In what they feebly imitate, accept their mere
womanliness as containing the infinite posii
bilities of their influence, will take interest in
tindine out with us the points of resemblance
between themselves and their sis.ers of dead
centuries.
The women of Pompeii lived a life exclusively
devoted to pleasure. Every demand ot soul
and spirit, every requirement of the intellect,
teems to have been sacrificed to achieving a
perlect blossoming of the senses. From what
we are allowed to witness with our eyes, in the
paintings and mosaics lately discovered, and,
irom what we must infer, not an inch of time
was given to fhe soul and its imperious needs,
and no room made for it to expand in; but the
Jihysical lite, the revelry of the flesh, the abso
ute Intoxication of voluptuousness, tyrannized
over every moment, and appropriated every hour
of a woman's lite.
We must remember how different is our do
mestic economy irotrj that oi those days. We
are not told that any of the problems of that
vexed "Bridget question" diturbed the placid
case of the mistresses of houses. Servants
then were slaves, a net. as such, unquestioning,
willing, competent ministers to the luxurious
habits of wealthy women. Those servants were
skilful waiting maids, tilling around their mis
tms the double orlice of confidantes and ser
vants. And so admirab y adiu&ted were the sepa
rate elements of that sjsicm of home-service,
that not one of the eervauts interfered with the
work ol the other, or mistook her special duty,
but rather, by her own punctilious to.itine and
exactitude, helped to render each returning day
a day of untroubled eae, and every hour an hour
of new delight, to the queen-woman, who thought
of nothing else but how to please her favorite
admirer.
Then, as now, women used adroit secresy in
making their persons objects ol special Hudy and
critical examination. Every line, or mark, or
wrinkle, was attentively tracked with a jealous
eye, aud most killully concealed. Rougc3, pow
der, pa nt, washes, and ointments all that art
eyer devit ed and coiubiued to lepulr the destroy
lug touch of time was used, as it la used now.
1 ndced, our Lubins and our Rimmels, with their
world-renowned delicious perf umes au3 essences,
Tail to furnish us wiih such profusion of lucent
oils and aromatic washes as lormed then the
requisites lor the toilets of women of fashion.
The utmost vnlue being set on a smooth,
milky-white, satin-like skin, it bscame the chief
endeavor ot every woman to preserve her com
plexion. To this end, t athina- was constantly
resorted to. What nobody ever omits doing
before leaving the bed room the wa hins of
face and hands was to the Poaipeian woman
not merely a half hour's or an hour's work, but
was the chief occupation of her moruiuii. Sue
baihed 1 ixuriouslv in warm, scented baths of
Htses' milt, she bathed till her whole body
was as smoothly sol.-skinued a? the petal of a
flower, and her hauds, her arms, her bosom, and
her limbs were rarde supple with excess of lan
guid renose. One cannot help seeing anew the

Roman ladies understood as well as our

Ihe ntniost ambition o( the belle ol Pompeii was
to look like a Creek womnn, to walk like a
Creek woman, to lisp like a Greek woman, and
like a Creek woman to enchant men with the
leductiveriets ot her sensuous beauty.
Among the most remarkable ot the articles of
luxury which more recent excavations hive
given 1o the world, are the ecrina or Jewel
loxcs, tired by wealthy women to keep their
adommtnts. Some of these boxes are to leet
high, telling at once that a fortune was trca
ti,rea within thjlr chiselled circumference. The
jewels uo not n aterially ditler from modem
ones, fave in worhmanhip and design. Brace
lets, rings, ear-rings, fcold and pearl ornaments
lor the head, butk;es lor the belt, and clasps to
fasten tbe HowIiik oraperics over the shoulder;
the-e, ai.d the mo?f marvellous of combs, neck
lacis, toothpicks, and even crochet-needles,
toimeil part of the valuables which the Roman
woman of lashion consldtred nf her own special
proretly, and upon which her thoughts so
lonalv dwelt when she asked herself: "How
shall t look?"
We feel that she looked beautiful, when we
r member w hat w ere some of the ornaments she
wore, and low prolusely she introduced the
glitter ot gold in her full-dress coBtunic. The
lion nn lodges were excessively lond of Jewels.
Pearls and precious ttoncs had lor them the
same cht;m whic h they have lor us. When en
fit attde tciultc, the lady ot Pompeii covered bcr
whole pcrfon with jewelry. Her luxuriant hair,
her neck, her shoulders, her bofoni, her ankles
aud ai ms and Lands flashed with the Imprisoned
rires of the opal, cl ttcred with gold, or were
encircled with the pale, soft lljht of the pearl.
It feems thnt In this particular lahion of wear
ing jcwele, the "pm pie women" ot Pompeii took
the lead. Dignified matrons at once adopted the
extravagant taste, and the fashionable paiufprs
peon decked their diviplties with the new in
signia. A ni.de Venus, recently discovered upon the
w alls of rompeti, wers a gold b.'nd around her
head, two bracelets on each wrist, a long gold
chain dropping in her bosom, and rings on every
bnger; thus giving ns another picture of the
rage that prevailed at the time when, perhaps,
she was painted I rem tome inir living girl or
woman.
It we closely compare some particular fashion
of those reuiote dnjs with the Inshion ot our
own time, we shall' be sir prised to notice the
sliehtness of the difference m laste. Take,
lor instance, the n.ode of arranging the hair.
But bitore nil, take the hmr itself. Yes, take
it, touch it, handle it, look at it loner,
till j on mnke sure of its color. It
Is the very eclor we tdmire so much
to-day red hair; blonde hair and blonde women
were'thea as much admired, as much sought
alter, as the choicest blonde blossoms of our
drawing-rooms of to-day. Ho great was the pre
ference given to blonde and yellow and red hair,
that all sorts ot toilet artitices were resorted to
to obtain irom drugs and ointments the one
color w hich painters and potts still delight to
picture in their soitest dreams of fair women.
We beg paidon ot nil the magnificent Junos
whese black trc-ses match the night. Hna they
lived in that carnival ot luxury they would, no
doubt, have done w hat some of them try to do
now. The would have used dyes.
The Poropeian women obtained from the East
an unguent with which they saturated their
hair, and then sat for hours in the sun until the
foreign supstance was dried in, and the hair
was transformed. Sometimes the wrocess took
days to be perfected, snd then, if the lady had
so large a circle ol acquaintances that she could
t-ecure no privacy in her city house, she betook
hersell lo the country, and remained there till
her hair was made indie silken and more rich
w ith golden hue.
The mcde of ch-psping the hair varied as it
varies with us, lashion being more of an arbi
tresstantnsteinthat important detail of woman's
costume. "Rats" and cushions were skilfully
adjutttd by the slave coijleuse to the head ot
hir nut tress, and we lind some traces of the
waterfall. Curls ecem to have been the favorite
style of dressing the hair for a time cnrls
thrown back of the bend and downier on too
neck, such as we coll Grecian curls. Wearing
tbe bairinalorge knot on the summit of the
head, or in short ringlets around the forehead,
was also a tavoi ite mode with the exquisites ot
those days of exquisite eleeance. But what
adorned most the head of tne Pompelnn belle
were the Jewelled combs and tbe jewelled pins
which they used to fasten their hair. Some ol
those are marvellously bcauti'iil not in color
only, but in poetical design. One of those pins
found in llerculaneum, and about seven or
eight inches long, is surmounted by a Venus
chiselled in gold; hue is twisting her hair, and
locks at herself in a minor held by Cupid.
Another Is ornamented with a small tigure of
1'Kjche ki.-sics Love. .uother is still more
Luautiiul, being lue workmanship of
tome deck ieeller. It represents the
GedekPs of Pit nty caressing a dolphin,
aLile her heaa is surmounted by two
iiorj... s'numnj v'. vvusvcrunon w tuij uouaess i
ins. ir.ete leweueu pins are, pernaps, tne most
interesiins leaf tire of a wnia.. 's parure. They
tie.ni to have bet a selected with such dainty
e aie as test harmonised with the occasion in
which they were worn; showing at once that
the Mmbo'ls they represented were not over
'ooked, nor their poetical meaning unremeu;
Ltred. We moderns cauuot admire those pins with
nit woider at the pcrie-t raste which the
tapan aitists rsed in forniinu the least trifle.
Would it be po.-tible to use with more effect or
w ith more grace, so mall asp ce as. the head ot a
pin for the hair ? Could any more graceful idea
t,e expressed than that ot the (iod of Love
rendering to his niotner the same service that
slaves and infatuated lovers render to their mis
ueftes? Our aigrettes, our diamond constellations, and
our koh i-noors an: very bcauiitul, but among

how tan we oudei at that, when we think that

and adliistea divine mysteries by law; but in
Rome the Senate o'ceicd that the slave women
hair oiesu-rs should remain such a tl.ne as ap
pientices, to as to become skilful iu their art.
Ovid does not tail to tell us a pood deal about it,
nor about the tmpci-tance some ot thoje hair
dresters acquired v nen. after months of labor,
they became exotrt in making the cushion
named lutuv.s, which the ladies wore on the
summit of their head, anlurouucl which cen

After Rome had Lcome the mutrnetic i-entre
of ehiiuane i , w Lire ull the nuiions gathered

mode ot ear nc the hair it', once changed, and
tucEC wtmcL io l.acl before ignored toiegt
laiLitns nc.er.ted all the extremes of Creek
exiiavuL'SLte. Tt.'nitwas thut they bet an to

Kastein we uier. Whenever women entered a
lenmle coptec lattd to tevotian divinities, they
woiea l riluMf;i of lotus Dowers or wheat in
their hair, as emblematic ot the tecundity ot
nature. Ai.d. us In these wild days ol 'ushioua'

Ihe conquenot tbe Cennnnie tribes broupht
in Ihe most fantastic modes aud Influenced much
the Itminine taste ot Home, and U mam under
that influence thnt golci dust was genrally used
as hair-powder by lashionable women.
Nothing Is more riatursl than that women of
fashion tbould create a fashion by their simple
preference or taste, just as is done in our days.
And just as naturally, as soon as that fashion
bits lost, by general prevalence, the dist inction
which is its greatest charm, another newer one
Is tried, discussed, and adopted. Natural flowers
were a favorite ornament lor the hair. The
Roman belles wore wreaths of flowers always
fragront flowers at their evening entertain
ments. They also wore chaplets ot flowers
around the rieci and bosom, so as to inhale the
delicious odor wh'ch, when yielded by th- head
wreath, must be lost to the wearer. Af-ineular
fattidiousness lorbnde all women to appear in
public by daylight with flowers upon them.
Tbev might not even carry bouquets under letyul
penalty. Was it becarsc they might have bee.i
considered as victims ? Those flower-wreaths
and chaplets wire woven with exquisite art, and
always intended to be symbolical wheu sent,
hall withered and jr t fragrant, to some bashful
favorite. Frerh flowers would not have been
welcomed by the jealous suitor, who loved to
imagine that he found soiiethinc of her whom
he ado.ed in the fast-drooping and finger crum
pled petals vhich had mingled with her
beauty. It was also the custom to com
plete a n.essege ol love and to tlx
a rendezvous by forwarding either apples
or ties bitten into. To-day, in the East, ladies
still wear chaplets of orange-biosonis around
tbeir olive-r kinned theulders, and lull aleep
caiefsed by the faint, languid odor.
But, with that same passion for beauty In
elrets which now, ns then, lies at the very heart
of a woman's nature, nothing could be more
unlike our modern female costume than that ol
the Roman women. Their ideal war. natural
ness, ar.d hence genuine beauty of lorm. They
did rot wear corsets, nor h' d they the remotest
idea of barrelling up their busts with wnale-
ones or steel. Next to the skin tlic.y wore a
garment of finest cambric, very much like the
modern chemise. Then a straight bard or scarl,
called itrojhum, which served to support the
be torn with that grace we so admire in antique
paintings. The makers of that part of a woman's
w ardrobe were a much patronized by Pompelnn
belles as our French corset-makers are to-day
patronized by women ot elegance. Over thut
band was worn a sortol jacket with long sleeves,
and n ade of the finest white wool.
When nt home, the tunic ct vered Ihe whole,
and the length ot that ample, flowing drapery
measured tomewbat the virtue ot the wearer,
tor it teems that ihe "purple woinfn" of those
elas preferred to wer.r (heir tunics very short,
to rhow their legs laden with bracelets, while
the Roman matrons lengthened the vesture by
a flounce embroidered w ith eold. The tunic was
fastened aiound Ihe waist by a beU urttsMcally
hidde n unde r some folds of the tueked-np dra
pery. For the promenade, women ol foshiuu
wore a mantle, the beauty of which was best
displayed by the stj le in which it exposed the
rL'lit breast, and was thrown over the left
shouldc r. Thosemantles wete invariably white,
and so tine in texcure that the incdrricrible
Pctronius speaks of them as of "woven wind."
Fashionable Roman women also wore white
kid boots. The "purple women" generally wore
sandals, to as to let iheir feet be seen those
finely shaped, large Roman feet, which our mo
dem taste would admire more had they been
smaller.
Extreme care was bestowed upon the nails of
tha feet nnd hands. There was one special slave
invested with the resron ibility of keeping the
nails of her mistress properly pared, cleaned,
and tinted. Women never wore t loves, yet they
delicately cherished their hands and tiueers.
They kept them beautiful, not by idleness alone,
but by a ai iety of cosmetics in'tt'nded to render
the skin solt, tmooih, nnd flower like. And as
the customs of those dayi made the finsers ol
women speak eloquently in adroit gesticulation,
the beauty of the hand could not be overlooked.
Horace makes fun of some origiunl wag inde
pendent enough to cm his own nails and dis
pense w lib the services ot barber or slave.
In loolcina at some of the jewels of l ompeii,
one is surprised to find how very fond were the
kelies ol the snake form, and how they pre
lerred having rings aud bracelets representing
eeipents. Gold serpents were among the
amulets, more or less decent, that hung from
necklaces, and were used to conjure uway dis
tressing influences. Even living snakes were
petted by Roman belles, who carried them
nio.nd their arms, and, for coolness' sake, even
let Ihem lie curling on their bosoni". For cool
ness' take also, did they carry smooth rock
crystal balis In' their hands, while the slave
lamed their heated laces and necks. After the
lashion ot ran-yine thoe crysial bolls had be
come so univeri-al that the Alpi failed to yh-ld a
siifllcicnt quuntify of crystal, yellow amber was
substituted. Juvenal tells us that tbe amber
