One of the oldest and most inter
esting structures of Florence is the
Baptistry. It's bronze doors, repre-
senting the history of the old teste-
ment are the most beautiful doors
in the world. Crossing the street
we entered the famous cathedral.
The interior of this church is very
plain, while the exterior is consider
ed the most beautiful in the world.

saics and watched the work. 1t GER

teresting After feasting our eyes on
these beauties we visited the marble
shops, where wonderful sculptures
were displayed.

the church of the Holy Cross and
Dante5 and other noted men, we drove
out upon the hills surrounding Flor

and on the slopes are the old
homes of men and women, who have
filled the world with their renown.

the Brownings, Dante, Michel Angelo

and saw the very room where the
scientist had lived and labored.

city of Venice at 500 p. m. A city
built upon a hundred islands, linked
by over four hundred bridges. Imag-

pleasure we seated ourselves within
a gondola and glided noiselessly out
into the Grand Canal This canal is
over two miles long and its form is
that of huge letter IS" It's banks
are lined with beautiful marble pal

On our way to the Grand Hotel we
passed under the Bridge of Rialto,"

over one hundred and fifty feet in
length and is said to have cast over
half million dollars.

of the Doge's Palace, crossed the
Bridge of Sights, went down into the
dark dungeons and into the very
cells, where the prisoners were kept
until they We're put to death; passed
the narrow opening through which
the body was removed at night to be
duried in the sea.
From here we went to visit the
glass factory, watched them work
then to the lace factory. Saw them
make the real Venetian lace
