Bellaggio, with the emerald Lecco on
one side and the blue-green Como on
the other, the white villages nesting
along the shores, and the great shad-
owful italian Alps.
The Villa Serbelloni stands on the
wooded promontory, and all day long
the warm sunshine floods its wallis and
terraces and chances from the polished
leaves of the tropical plants. The villa
remains today nearly as It was when
Napoleon's forces were in Milan and
stabling their horses in the monastery
of Santa Maria dele Grazia, under the
fading Last Supper" by Da Vinci.
1t is a hotel now, the annex of n Of
the great hostelries down below in the
town. A tortuous path leads up to the
villa; and to climb 1t is to perform the
initial step or lesson to proper noun

snow, an e~xhilarating foretaste Of the

there on the little hill-top. He gave his
luggage to the porter from the Grand

which was only a dozen steps from the
landing. No. he would not dine at the
hotel, all but empty at this time Of

CRASH DRESSES.

Cotton crash in every conceivable
color is here for wash dresses and the
dressmakers are piping the seams with
white and covering wooden button
with crash. with white rims.
This makes a cheap, artistic trimming,
is very neat on a wash frock.
The material washes almost as nicely
as muslin, and it takes on an excellent
gloss. 1t comes in different grades, but
It is not an expensive fabric.
