To the wanderer in Italy, Venice

daylight this feeling may wear OF to
some extent, although there Is never,
at any time. as much hustle and stir
In Venice as in other towns. Morn
Ing, noon or night, Venice has a fas-
cinaion all her own. This is partly
due to the fact that she Is a city built
on the water.
To explore Venice and to become in
timately acquainted with her, a gon.
dola Is not a necessity, rather 1t Is
q luxury for sunset evenings and

find ones way about Venice on foot;
quaint, old world corners are discover
ed. bits of ancient architecture. carved
doorways and little bridges, with a
feast Of color here, there and every
where. Apart from all the beauty of

est evoked by her history and tradi-
lions.

st. Theodore was the first patron saint
