good servant he may rob you, but be

he will usually be contented with small
profits. AT least my man is. -
II you do not keep house, and still in
tend to remain some time in Ma
Piles, the next best thing you
can do, for the sake both of
comfort and economy, is to live in an
apartment and have your cooking done
by the woman of the house. Give her
your orders in the evening" and she will
provide whatever you wish, much or lit
tie, for the following day, handing you
little slip of paper at night containing
the items of expense. She, too, prob
ably, has made her little commissions,
but they are small-very likely only a
few soldi (cents), and you can well af-
ford them. One lady and her daughter,
who had q lodging near US and very
good landlady who cooked their meals to
order, declared that it cost them ''al-
most nothing TO live in Naples, and
that they saved enough OF what it had
previously cost them to live en- pension,
to pay for lessons in music and Italian
Another way, also quite economical, is
to hire your rooms and have your meals
sent in from a restaurant. Perhaps you
can get along by ordering out your din
uer. A gentleman who had lived in this
way told us that dinner for two cost
him only five francs (SD, and that
enough of it was left to furnish the next
mornings breakfast. Then for lunch
you can have little or much, at home or
at a cafe, as you please.
We found that our little family of FIVE
could live in lodgings for So or 81 day,
including rent and board, had we seen
fit to use a not very rigid economy and
put up with the trifiing snnoyances OF
that sort of half-or-half housekeeping.
Although we did not ourselves take adj
vantage of this fact, give it here for
the information of others whom 1t may
concern. The lady and her daughter
mentioned above evidently lived at still
lower rate.
Had we persevered we might no doubt
have found a situation to salt US. But
each of the places we saw had Its objeo-
tionaole features. The apartment might
be good but not sunny, and the sun in
your rooms is a matter of the first i'm
portance in Naples. "When the sun
goes out of your dwelling the doctor
comes in, - is an italian proverb. This
is particularly true of country where

the sun for external warmth, or perhaps
upon brazier of embers to
hold his benumbed fingers over in the
coolest weather. Although the coolest
is not very cold (the mercury sank to
the freezing point only two or three
times last winter, and hardly went be-
low it) the temperature of rooms that do
not receive the sun Is something the
American from New York and Massa-

at home. But he comes here and en-

overlooking all Naples and commanding
views to which those of no other walk or
drive can be compared except the Car
acciolo itself. This is the new drive
built within few years along the curved
shore of the bay, between it and the
famous Villa Nazionale, or public gard
den. 1t is magnificent street, which
call the world'' of Naples walks or
drives every fine afternoon. On one
side are the avenues of palm and lex,
the circles and evergreen aisles of semi
tropical vegetation of the mile-long
villa; on the other the MediteranneaRH
breaking upon its walks, sometimes eye9
overlapping the firm, high, concaVe wish
that protects the drive. Vesuvius, the
Apprentices, Capri, the broad blue of tie
sea and its incompatible shores are all
in sight.
At one end of the drive rises the prom
ontory of Posilipo. At the other trowns
the old Castel del Boo, standing out in
the bay, with the waves dashing against
the broad, brown, century stained
foundations. 1t was but six or eight
minutes walk from our hotel to the
villa and the Carracciolo. Between
these and the Corzo what delightful
walks We would havel AS delightful to
five-year-ol Aniel as to the rest. What

Again, he would have the sea and its
leaping waves, as at his seaside home on
