IN ANCIENT BABYLON.
THE VANITY OF WOMEN
“MODELS OF FASHION.”
CHICAGO, May 11. Professor Langdon, head of the expedition which is excavating at Kisli, in Mesopotamia, reports the finding of a fish hook. It is the oldest ever discovered, and it is claimed that it shows that the Babylonians used hooks and bait 5000 years ago. The women of Kish were models of fashion. Objects discovered from fem-a’e burial mounds include copper vanity %ases containing manicure sets, pincers, tongs, nail files, and paint dishes and brushes for colouring their lips.
