Hortensia, in her plea, after she and the women had forced their way through the Forum to the tribunal of the triumvirs, enunciated two of the finest propositions in history: (1) “Let war with the Gauls or the Parthians come, and we shall not be inferior 1o our mothers in zeal for the common safety; but for civil wars may we never contribute, nor even assist you against one another,” and (2) * ould we pay taxes when we have no part in the honors, the commands, the statecraft, for which you contend against one an- other with such harmful results?” Beginning about 50 B.C., women be- gan to play a new role in Roman poii- tics. Leaders began to marry the women of powerful noble familes to strengthen themselves and here enters the factor which helped to break woman's pres- tige. The theory had grown that mar- riage was a contract and could be dis- solved if the two people concerned just like going to Mars or Jupi- | called F. C.

The Roman marriage contract at that time could be broken at a moment’s notice, and it grew quite usual for men to do so, as :mllnmzll fortunes changed, in order that they could marry other women. Pompey the Great seems to have beens the first statesman systematically to adopt this policy, for he married five times. Julius Caesar had four wives, and his daughter Julia, who was mar- ried to Pompey, was sacrificed for poli- tics, although she kept her father and husband from open war while she lived. Octavia fought a great fight for An- thony against Cleopatra, and by her loss raised a national enthusiasm that set- tled her brother Octavian firmly on the throne. But perhaps most influential of all the women of the republic was Servilia, wife first of Brutus, the radical leader of 78 B.C, and then of Silanus, the democratic consul of 62. Cato of Utica was her half brother, Julius Caesar ‘was her admirer, and her son and two sons-in-law were Brutus and Cassius, the eonspirators, and the triumvir Lepidus. In 59 B.C. Caesar gave her a pearl worth $250.000, and it is significant that the gift was made during his first consulship, when he had some very im- portant measures to pass. A history of the time cannot be written unless Ser- vilia appears on every page. ‘The period of the Roman Empire, because of the amount of literary gos- ®ip left to us, flares with feminine frivolity. But not even the devotion of good women could save such a mad succession of mere men, some of them the merest of men, as those who shook the scepter of Roman sovereignty over the sententiousness of the Senate, and the pusillanimity of the proletariat. And the good women we read about were outdone, it not outnumbered, by the bad ones. il b v Nursery Chair $1.00 No Phone or Mall Orders Chest of Drawers $8.90 Walnut-Veneer Bedroom Suité made of selected American Walnut Veneers, nicely This Beautiful Genuine American$ .
