other.
streets, until we came to a station,
where we took the funicular, little
car that ran perpendicularly up the
steep hillside, and left us within
walking distance of the old monastery
of S. MARITIME. 1t was interesting
as all such buildings are, and we
wandered about enjoying the collec-
ton of manuscripts, paintings and
marbles that were displayed in the
rooms Yet there was something lack
ing, something which was needed to
put life into these cold stone cloister
walls, and that something was the
monks themselves, for today the mon
astery is nothing but museum, and
the silent forms that glided formerly
in and out of the rooms, are miss
ing.
OF all the things seen at S. Mar
tho, three stand out distinctly, the
curious old sun dial the monks had
made on the floor in one of the rooms,
the surprising view we had of the
Bay of Naples, and wax creation to
be seen down in one of the cooler
parts of the monastery. This latter
covered the width of a large room,
and was several yards in depth. All
that it portrayed was fashioned in
wax. In the foreground the birth
of Christ was depicted and all around
that were represented the different
trades of that time. Above angels
fastened in some mysterious way to
the ceiling were lowering over the
scene. Let once the burning sun OF
Naples enter that room and all would
vanish in a short time, but as long as
it is in it's cool retreat, it will out
last the throng of visitors that daily
pour in to see it.
Coming back we lost ourselves, as
we took the first convenient street
car, which left US at the farther end
of the city, just at the time when the
promenaders were out for a pleasure
hour. We wondered at the display of
white kid gloves. All classes alike
had them on, and they looked fresh
and white as newly fallen snow. In
one of the stores down town we asked
clerk to show us some kid gloves, and
he displayed some soft white ones that
were only thirty cents pair, and he
had some dove-colored ones that were
twenty cents. No wonder that the
Italian ladies can wear such spotless
kid gloves.
Wherever we went in Naples we
saw the same irresponsible light
heartedness that took mo thought #

ians as blithesome as the songs they
sang.

street, and the house opposite was so
near that we could almost shake
hands with the occupants. Looking
down that street, not a long way off
was the Bay Of Naples, and the
waves came dashing up close by the
Via Caracciolo. splashing the passerby
with foam and spray.
Our ride from Rome had made us
hungry, and one of the sisters an
nounced that she had lunch ready
for US in the dining-room. 1t was a
French convent, and the sisters knew
how 10 cook. That lunch consisted of
all kinds of vegetables, eggs and de-
licious desert, and yet the sister
apologiZed for not having more, as we
had come a day earlier than expected.
We looked at her in astonishment for
that lunch was almost banquet, but
when we had dinner that night we
understood why she called that first
sumptuous meal, frugal.
We would have slept well that night
if all had been comparatively quiet, but

to watch these nonchalant beings, and
knew when to expect an overture. With
leisurely steps and pleasing smile, they
would stroll along until the smile could
no longer express their feelings, then
their mouths would open, and the
sounds swell forth that rent the air.
These noises insupportable at first, soon
soothed us as lullaby.
AS our convent was situated in the
very heart of the city, we saw the peo-
pie in all their native primitiveness.
The Neapolitan milkmen have an easy
time. They do not milk the goats and
COWS beforehand, but drive them into
the city, and the knowing creatures go
from door to door standing patiently
while the different customers milk
them. We were told that they some
times came in alone, but we always saw
their owners somewhere near, as q
preventative of too much milk being
taken by one person.
After passing through the convent
gate, we were obliged to proceed with
care, as the too narrow street was
blockaded with all sorts of obstacles

their work and had encamped out of
doors for the day. OF course beggars

During our Journey from Rome to
Naples we saw the peasants walking
along with huge water-jugs on their
heads, and other such similar sights
peculiar to the peasant life in Italy
we noticed as we were tossed this side
and that for six hours, until Naples
was reached, or as the Italians call it
"Napoli."

There was nothing for us to do but
follow him, and we overlook him just
when he was throwing our baggage
into the most rickety vehicle we ever
saw. His poor horse looked as if he
might relish good meal, and the
wheels OF his carriage seemed ready to
part company with the rest of the
turnout, but we were obliged to climb
in and he driven to our destination.

In Naples however, our driver had no
intention of being stopped by such
trifios. AS he saw the uniformed Of

the middle of the road. preparatory to
stopping us. he took his whip,
snapped it in front of the astonished
officials face, and then drove his
horse as fast as the poor creature
could go. Every minute we expected
to land in the sidewalk or in the
street. Such was the apparent law

the disorder that reigned everywhere,
we wondered if we should ever dare
to go out on the streets by ourselves.
AS we drove up, the streets became
narrower and narrower. until half
