Pictures From Italy.
I found plenty of materiaI for sketch

Besides the beauty Of the scenery it was
not long before bits of picturesque bends

shades of green In the new leaves of the
trees. the masses Of white buds. the
green meadows starred with golden dan

leaning in easy grace against the levers
of the locks; country woman shading

bows of a boat asleep in the sun-all
things such as these gave wealth of
material for the artist.

still ply up and down the canal were
respondent in red yellow blue and
white paint and bedecked with futter-
ing flags. for the canal had just been
opened for the summer and as usual.
the canal boatmen were celebrating the
return of traffic.
The open season extends from late
in March or early in April TO about
the LIST OF November.
Years ago when the canal was first
opened it was fondly hoped to furnish
the one way of transportation from the
sea to the Ohio River and in their
dreams its projectors grew passing rich

sit on the deck and watch the world

and drive the tow mules in brisk walk.
AT night as you come back from the
village grocery store, whittier you have

possession of the boat because the boats
are loaded on Rock Creek near the
sound, and the men who had brought
ours up to the canal merely relinquished

BEEN watched with great curiosity and
ill-concealed disgust by the canalmen
lounging about the locks. We paid slight
attention to them, though an occasional
comment in the vigorous language of the
canal reached our ears and forced us to
smile at the native humor displayed.
We carried no provisions. The canal
is 100 miles long, and the trip from
Washington to Cumberland is usually
made by boats in twelve days, buying
ones food from the villages or even, as
we did, fresh from the farms
In the first mile or two there are four
locks. With a mild thrill of excitement
we felt the boat rising slowly up to the
successive levels and watched the water
pouring through the sIufces of the locks
When all was ready the whip cracked,
