of Chazal though. One of the ten takanos of Ezra listed in Baba Kama 82a
was
that peddlers should go from city to city for the sake of women's
adornments
(tachshitei nashim, which Rashi explains as besamim - ie perfumes and
cosmetics).  The gemora explains on Baba Basra 22a that this was so that
such adornments would be readily available to the Bnos Yisroel, and on Baba
Kama 82b that this was so that they not become repulsive to their
husbands.... <
RYL sh'l'y't'a' didn't fully quote RSS z'l'.  He should now quote the
paragraph(s) regarding Jewish ladies and their husbands ;-).  Thanks.

All the best from
