AnAuqusta Teacher Abroad---Le tter No. y

After our first surprise at seeing the
modern Rome that surrounded us in
ALI directions. we enjoyed wandering
through her streets. One morning the
husband of our boarding mistress Of
fered to escort us down to the business
section. AS far as we could find out,
his daily task was to entertain the diff
ferent boarders that came to his pen
sion. The only disadvantage to us in
this scheme, was the fact that he slut

To wander through those streets

to loiter in the shady gardens of the
post Office. whose building was once
a grand old palace, to pause near the
steps close by the Pincio where the
Italian girls are selling their flowers,
and then to stroll up to the Pincio was
a treat indeed.
The Pincio is beautiful park high

two hundred years ago. This pleasure
ground was well chosen for on one

park with its magnificent palace, and
on the other side all Rome is before

on one of the seven hills Of Rome
towers the pedestrian statue of the

statue that he seems to be riding

SO well.
The Pincio is Rome's pleasure

walks and promenades, students who

for OH Thursday afternoons there are
band concerts, and all the elite Of
Rome come to the Pincio and prone
made or drive. The old nobility whose
families have gradually decayed SO
that the splendid turnouts of
former days may no longer be INDUCED

where ir former times only four sat in

were romplng about, while the nurse

flying horses and swings, and donkeys
drawing little carriages plodded by.
The chief attraction of Thursday
afternoon however is the band concert.
Promptly at five all gather near il and
listen The day that we listened to it,
the first piece that they played was
one of Sousa'S marches. 1t seemed to
be SOusa who was the favorite where

lasted as long as the band concert.

as quiet as on a morning.

the Forum and Palatine Hill which is
one mass of ruins we came to the
Baths of Caracalla. They cover a
mile and although they are fairly well
