Venice, April T.. 1909.
 It was a relief to stop at Venice af- ter so much sight seeing and have enioyed the quiet here, no street cars or wheels, nothing but talking to dis turb the quiet, and must say the Italian is noisy.
 Venice is built on 117 islands, con nected by about $50 bridges. canals running between each island. Rus kin calls them ,untrodden streets: ." they are the cleanest streets ] have seen in some time There are about l5.000 houses: the islands are made of sand, so piles have to be put iii to make a good foundation. On the Grand Canal the gondolas come right up to the steps of the houses, in front In the water are tall "hitchins posts. ! called them. to tie the gondolas The gondolas are painted black, 4 Jaw was made by the Doge in 15o0,-- some say because there was too much extragavance in adorning them An other story relates that when the Doge wanted to get rid of all enemy he had him killed and taken out of the city in black gondola, with gondolier dressed in black,-and he had the others the same color 50 as not to attract attention The funer- a]s proceed in the gondolas, wider than the usual ones and decorated ill geld or silver The cemetery is an island.

The Venetian red is everywhere, on houses on sailboats. on sails. The color just runs riot here. and the views down the canal are so interesting. We took a gondola and went from one end to the other of the Grand Canal; it is lined with palaces of many old fam lilies. Don Carlos, the pretender to the Spanish throne lives right around the corner from us. Many of the nobility are quite poor. but make any sacrifice to keep up appearances. There are. some handsome private gondolas and gondoliers. The day va took the Canal trip, everything was decorated for Emperor William. 1tal- ian and Spanish flags hanging out Of windows, also large squares of red velvet and old tapestry.
