sire to sleep, and can only keep awake
through the exertion of the greatest
will power. Such was our case. Sit
ling up in the hard -backei chairs as
we were, sleep at that moment seemed
the most blessed thing in existence.
The summons to our train was a
welcome call, for We had a compart-
nlent III which there were no one but
ladies, and we could sleep if we
wished. But then we did not want to,
for we rode but short way before
the sun rose up smilingiy from the
sea, and We saw a sunrise that we Will
not soon forget. That is one of the ad-
vantages of travelling in the early
morning. We never saw sunrises at
any other time.
On our way to Genoa we passed
through the Italian Riviera, which
unlike the French one, had orange and
lemon groves scattered all the way
along, but still we had the mountains
on one side Of us and the hills on the
other. Our train was due in Genoa at
ten thirty but did not reach there I'M
til twelve five which was not late for
Italy.
That afternoon and night we spent
sleeping, but the next morning found
us out early exploring the quaint old
city. we started up, following narrow
winding streets, that had a high stone
wall on both sides, and into the
shadow of that inVitingly cool wall we
frequently stepped, as a protection
against the burning sun, even though
1T was March. Up and down we went,
stopped frequently by beggars, who
begged mechanically in q matter of
fact way that showed us that begging
was their trade. Finally the whole
city lay below us, and out beyond was
the sea. The Italian villas are pleas
ing with their frescoed facades and
picturesque gardens. The climate ad-
niits of delicate tints, and pale pink
is the faVorite color for villa On
one house we saw bar of music
frescoed, while Oh others pictures and
scroll work that gave each villa an
individual stamp.
Returning to the hotel we waited in
the corridor, listening with amazement
TO the versatility of the porter One
man came in, our porter addressed him
! in German, another tourist entered and
/ lie spoke to him in French, then he
turned and spoke a few minutes to
someone in Italian, and at length adj
| dressed us in English. He wanted US
| to see their roof garden, so taking the
elevator we went up so high that 1t
did not seem as if we were in the
I same hotel. When we had reached
the top we stepped out and up some
stairs. and stood among orange and
| lemon trees, and flowers Of all kinds
The porter in good English described
| the various kinds, and showed US some
carnations twice as large as ours. but
which sent forth no fragrance. We en-
| Joyed wandering about, until we
noticed lizards crawling on the walls,
and then we begged our guide to re-
turn us to earth again. In this coun-
try that porter would be a professor Of
! modern languages. while in his own
he is simply porter, but he seertel
| perfectly content to be that. We liked
Genoa because we did not feel Obliged
to see any one thing in particular but
felt free to enjoy the Genoese and
| their city.
