Zo M. F. H. S. PILOT gL4f s , ' 'g . i . . ll ll Ill -. ROMA IMMORTALIS Once upon a time there lived a little girl named Roma. ller father's name was Romulus and she had an uncle named Remus. She was a strong, sturdy girl and grew fast but she had one very seri- ous fault - she had not a good disposi- tion. .-Xs she grew older and stronger she became more and more bellicose and soon she had fought with all her neighbors: litrurian. Sabine, Magna Graecia, etc. Hut in spite of her veneer of malice she was really very kind-hearted and she adopted all these conquered neighbors who became part of her familia. lint all these victories had gone to her head and she longed for more power and dominion over more people so she sent her brave sons, such as, Caesar, Sulla, Pompeus, Scipiog to subdue some of her unfriendly neighbors - Carthage, Gaul, Greece. lfgypt. Now it happened that Roma had a rival whose name was Athena. :Xthena was very beautiful, far more beautiful than Roma, who to tell the truth was not very handsome. Although Roma did not have fallen arches, her arches were not nearly as shapely as Athena'sg and the form of her structure was not so graceful, her steps being too high to give a maidenly appearance. .'Xthena's interior was also much prettier. lt was covered with beau- tiful mural paintings of great art whereas Roma's interior was covered chiefly with a large appendix, much like those of our modern books, denoting more of a practi- cal than an artistic nature. lieing still rather juvenile Roma spent much of her time riding around with srulus whereas Athena, being of a literary turn of mind, sat on pillars and devoted her talents making columns for the Forum, a news- paper of that time. So you can easily see why Roma, being a woman, was jealous of Athena. ller animosities grew larger and larger, till at length she literally hated Athena, so she sent one of her sons, Sulla, to make .Xthena submit to her power which he did with little difficulty. Of course Athena poutecl a little at first but she soon decided to make the best of it and be friends with Roma. XYhen these two got together they be- gan talking, as women do, about the style of architecture to wear to emphasize their particular types of beauty. You know, my dear , Roma said, I just love the way you wear your Parthe- non, it's so becoming. XVhy yes , Athena said modestly, I pride myself it is rather handsome. And my citadel , Roma complained, I just cannot make that becoming. l have used paint and powder and polish, but somehow it doesnt do any good. l am so discouraged.
