Until we are up to the deep water grottoes
we shall keep dark about ours. No reader
OF The Sun will find it on the map, nor oan
the boatmen tell him of its w~hereabout.
For some days abou the first Of July we
suspended our sea baths for a few days.
When We returned to the sea il was for a
row over the bay.
The usually deserted beaches and lodges
were dotted with bathers. We saw them
descending the steep trails: they were un-
dressing behind rocks. and splashing In
all the coves. Capri itself had come to
life, for these were not distinguished
Britons nor boisterous Teutons, but the
vivaoious som of the island.
As we approached the Picoola Marina
We first noted what we have since come
to regard as h regular summer Q o'clock
formation. To the right Of the point Of
rocks were dozens Of women and children.
II took q close inspection TO see that they
were undressing not only In full sight
from the sea but also from the road above
The operation was conducted with the
deftest modesty under a sheet or even

rushed into the sea clothed according
to her condition in chemise. old gown. the
standard two piece suit. or at times In mans
one piece garment. But the exit from
the sheet and the water was made 30 swiftly
that curiosity had little chance to glcat
or criticism TO discriminate.
II was q scene OF great animation, for
the throng changed from moment to
moment, q double thread OF people assembled
and descended the path to the village. and
Joyous naked children splashed around
their oircumspect sisters. cousins. aunts
and mothers.

But there are a few beaches, mostly
reached by trails, a few only by boat, where

Grande and the Piccola Marina. one may
even procure the here s%uperhuous luxury
Of a bathing house.
On the vineclad slopes that stretch from
the Ave high buttes to the edge Of the sheer
cliffs are scattered the villas OF a cosmo-
politan colony that tears down its individual
regulations and builds up the fortunes Of
the thrifty Capresi who cluster in the village
on the saddle Of the island. The foreign
colony is here for its health, has much time
on It's hands and incidentally provides most
Of the p~icturesquencss and gayety said
to be characteristic of Italian life.
1t was early in our bathing career that
Susan and ] realized that It was really the
Germans who applied the local color to the
coast OF Capri. The season was little adj

had tamely paid our six cents for the use Of
q bathing house.
As we stepped out on the bit Of shingle
at the Piccola Marina, from which q may
lcok up at Monte Solaro between cyclopean
bouIders or out to sea through q natural
arch, we heard a splash behind the rocks
and then a tenor voice ~declaiming Sole

voice appeared. or at least a pair Of brown
thouIders and q head with thick brown
hair trufhed back and out round framed
themselves In the arch. A Renaissance

away with a shudder from the prospect
Of an aqueous Irritation made ia Germany.
1t was our first lesson that, apart from
the religious PROFESSIONS kept up by the
priests, the picturesque future OF Capri
lies with the foreigners. 1t was our first
hint too that the bathing here was any
thing Of a spectacle.
We had been accustomed during early
spring to a handful Of conscientious Eng
