Rh —Lad dressed as Roman warrior, whose costume may be found in any Roman history.

—Girl in classic, white drapery. (This may be made of cheesecloth and simply sewed on the wearer when the proper disposition of the folds has been made.) White stockings and sandals. Long waving or curling hair. She carries a dove on wrist or shoulder. (If a tame dove, whose behavior is certain, can be found and tethered by a light chain to the wrist of, it will be most effective. Otherwise, a stuffed bird must suffice.)

—Two lads in short, white, belted robes, coming to knee. Silver helmets, shields, and spears, and legs encased in silver greaves. (All these may be fashioned of tin or cardboard, and it is a valuable exercise in ingenuity to design, make, and ornament them, and fit them to the wearers.)

They stand at either side of the throne of. Each lad is provided with a tablet (baked clay or painted wood) and a stylus (sharp-pointed wooden stick) concealed beneath dress.
