Fancy Towel.

An unusually handsome towel can
be made Of heavy linen huck and cor
onation crochet insertion. Procure a
huck towel Of the size desired 1.-THE in
sertion Is rather too heavy for the
small guest towel, with hemstitched
ends. Cut one end of about an inch
and q half above the hem On the
raw edge Of the towel and on the
raw edge Of the piece cut on, make the
narrowest possible hens by hand.
The coronation crochet to be used
Is that beautiful lace made by crochet.
Ing coronation braid into a design with
heavy crochet cotton 1t Is quite as
effective as cluny. Join the two
places Of the towel, after they are
each hemmed, by whipping on to both
small hens the strip of insertion.
Only one end OF the towel should be
ornamented in this fashion, the hem
stitching being sufficient for the other
end.

for wallowing and sleeping during the
warmer months.
The efficient hog house Is a simple
affair, and can be built by anyone
with only small cash outlay. II
need not be more than four feet high
In the rear and slightly more in the
front to allow slope for the roof. The
sides should be short. The lumber
for them will not cost much, but II
should be Of good material to keep out
rains and winds. Probably the best
roof for hog houses Is that Of heavy

or matched boards. Galvanized iron
also makes a good roof, and Is to be
commended for the movable houses
When iron Of any kind is used for the
roof 1t should be laid on solid boards
as iron is very hot In summer when
the sun shines, and Is cold in winter.
Since a hog house need not be toe

sows and is growing large number
Of pigs each year should have half

dumped from an upper window into
your lap. But you do not mind this as
you glide beneath many bridges. and
slip past the old. old houses, with
the window gaily decorated with flow
ers. You gaze in wonder and admira-
ton at the picturesque old places, and
perhaps a black eyed signorina leans
from a window and drops a rose into
your boat, and smiles.
At night the charm of Venice is
even greater. Then 1t seems like a
veritable dream city; but without the
out on the Grand canal one can see
two or three concert boats. decorated
with Japanese lanterns, and on the
still air comes snatches Of old Italian
love songs. You listen a few min
utes, and then, with a nod to your
companion, you get up from your chair
on the hotel gallery and signal for a
gondola- Silently 1t slips up to the
steps leading into the water; you step
into 1t and sink by the side Of your

soon the long, black prov Is pointing

the lights of St. Marks square wink

and there show that other boats are
going to the concert Everything Is
silent and serene. only the sound Of

gondolier stands majestically behind
you. making long sweeps with his oar.
The sound Of the music grows palmer.
and soon beneath the string OF Ian

Hundreds of gondolas, 1t seems, are
lined up around this boat BY skillful
maneuvering your gondolier slides in
between two other boats. And then
you just stretch back and listen to the
singers, the water sloshing and lap
ping against the boats making an ef-

SONDOLA es VENICE

Other gondolas glide silently past you,
and perhaps now and then a barge
loaded with fruit or fish, propelled
by the one long oar in the hands of a
swarthy Venetian. But you are rudely
awakened from your reverie by the
shrill whistle of an impertinent little
steamboat 1t seems like an anach-
ronism, and one resents its presence.
These boats now run between the
railway station and the Adriatic sea.
In them one can go out to the Lido,
the famous Venetian seaside resort: {:
to the great Venetian glass works and
other places. Now and then a speedy
motor boat will dash by you, and you
shake your fist at Its departing stern,
and wish 1t would sink.
Then with a sudden turn to the
right you enter labyrinth OF smaller
canals, 30 narrow. some of them, that
you can almost touch the houses on
either side with outstretched hands.
AS you approach q sharp turn. the
gondolier shouts q warning, answered
by another boatman. and presently
long black PROV emerges slowly and
cautiously into view. With perfect
ease the two boats pass each other
in this narrow space. never touching
nor humping. The gondoiiers have
perfect control over them and handle
the long unwieldly things perfectly

have been Btubbornly fought
for some time by the Vene-
tian gondoliers, but this
seems about to be overcome by the
formation Of a cooperative society
among these boatmen. This body Is
providing public service OF small
motor launches between the railway
station and the Adriatic shore. They
maintain that the launches can be
used by those in hurry, while the
gondolas will be retained for the use
of the leisurely pleasure seekers.
But why should anyone be In a
hurry In Venice? 1t Is place to
dream and rest. One Of the greatest
attractions in this most picturesque
city on all the continent is to loll back
in gondola and glide slowly down
the Grand canal. That first ride one
never forgets. 1t is as II he had been
transported into an altogether differ
ent world, for everything is strange, un-
familiar. AS the boat proceeds leisure
ly along the stately old palaces, with
the high poles with the colors Of their
owners painted on them, add to the
charm. They are ancient and many
are in rather dilapidated condition,
but that makes them seem all the
more picturesque. 1t is fitting that
they should be.
Many Great Palaces.
Here, the gondolier tells you, is the
Palazzo Of Desdemona, beautiful old
place crowded in between two larger
palaces; there is the palace OF the
Brownings, one of the stateliest on the
canal; over there is where the famous
Duse once lived. but her palace, prob
ably discouraged of having been de-
serted by the great celebrity, leans
disconsolately against its neighbor.
and seems ready to plunge into the
waters Of the canal And 30 as you
slip along to the sweep Of the one
great oar Of the gondolier, you see pal
aces Of great dukes and duchess, of
poets, writer's and many others.
