VENICE A CITY OF DREAMS
Many Charms for the Tourist In This
Picturesque City Of
Italy.

To the wanderer In Italy. Venice
has a peculiar attraction. Arrive there
at sunset. or better still by moonlight.
and you will fancy yourself trans
planted to some city of dreams. With
daylight this feeling may wear OF to
some extent, although there Ia never,
at any time, as much hustle and stir
in Venice a. In other towns. Morn
ing, noon or night, Venice has q fas-
cinatton all her own. This Is partly
due to tho fact that she Is city built
on tho water.
To explore Venice and to become In.
timately acquainted with her. q gon.
dola Is not = necessity. rather It Is
q luxury for sunset evenings and
moonlight nights. 1t Is a delightful ex.
perience, and not q dinicult one. to
find ones way about Venice on foot:
ed. bits Of ancient architecture. carved
doorways and little bridges. with q
feast Of color here. there and every.
where. Apart from all the beauty Of
scenery. there Is the enthralling inter
est evoked by her history and tradi.
tions.
Among the traditions we read that
st. Theodore was the first patron saint
Of Venice. to be superseded later on
by st. Mark. The wanderer In Ven
Ice becomes familiar with the Lion
Of st. Mark. More prominently than
anywhere Is 1t to be seen on one OF tho
columns on the Piazzetta. whilst on
the other is st. Theodore. These col.
umns of beautiful red and gray gran
ite are supposed to have come orig
inally from Syria. They were erect.

For the Young Girls Eye.

There is nothing more beautiful
than simplicity OF character. 1t Is
honest. frank and attractive. How
different is affection! The simple
minded are always natural; they are
at the same time original. The af-
fected are never natural. AS for orig
inality, II they ever had 1t, they have
s'ushed 1t out and buried 1t from sight
utterly. Be yourself. To attempt to
be anybody else is worse than folly
It is impossible to attain 1t. A genu-
Inc cent Is worth more than a counter
felt dollar, and the smallest person
who is real, is worth more than the
biggest fraud In existence. Let the
fabric Of your character, though ever
40 humble. be at least real.

BOOKS THAT THE BOYS ENJOY

An English trade publication. after

"The simple fact Is this-children to-
day are wiser than their parents were.
They don't want Robinson Crusoe or
Alice in Wonderland. They are up to
the Had and Dante's Inferno while
their parents are reverting with de-
light to the immortal books they
scorn."
