Venice, the Commercial.
Mary Heaton worse. In Harper's Magazin

Mary Heaton Worse. in Harper's Magazine.
1t is customary for some people to talk
about Venice as old and infinitely sad.
to think of it sitting alone meditating
on its past glories; and all the time the
great transformer. steam, has been At
work changing the landscape and Its peo-
pie to the new life of a modern world
The visitor who lives in one OF tho
hotels on the Grand canal will probably
never wholly think OF Venice as other
than a show city. a tourist city, where
travellers from all over the earth come
to wonder. Such a person will never
realize that Venice today Is modern
port. To realize this fully one should
live for time on the Giudecca, where
one will see the city magic back
ground for all the ships OF the earth.
For time Venice was backwater. Her
ancient glories as Queen OF the
Adriatic has departed from her, but
the cutting OF the Suez canal gave
her back her position. In the Giudecca
there Is always wash from the wake
of the big steamers coming from the
ports Of the east: coming from ENGLAND
bearing coal, and from other countries
grain and food for the factories ana
workshops of northern and eastern Italy.
The making of delicate lace and the
blowing of fragile glass are the indus
tries that one naturally associates with
Venice. On the Giudecca canal. however
the work of unloading the big steamers
goes on perpetually. Over by the Marina
they are building. not goadolas, but
big iron steamers: and IL you live there
you must look at the white dome OF the
Salute through the trailing smoke OF
the steamship stack
And this aspect OF Venice has a spe-
cial beauty and why should one shut
ones eyes to it? There is thing
certain that the more your life is cast
to bring you in touch with the people of
Venice who work. the more you viii UNI
