TRAVELETTE
Posilipo.
BY NIkSAH.

The city of Naples gives no idea of the
beauty of southern Italy. 1t sits like
ragged vagrant by the roadside in the
fairest land of Europe
If YOU would see all of this beauty at
A glance visit the steep headland of Posi-
lipo, which juts into the sea beyond the
CITY. Here are combined the beauties of
the modern Campania-the smooth roads
winding upward past white villas, the
blue sky under which the earth seems to
glow, while the sea is tipped with silver
and the most striking relics of the long
gone days of the Roman Ell re and the
middle ages, those periods so full of story
and color, which have moved across Italy,
environed in her beautiful landscape and
inspired by the romantic temperament of
her people, like the acts of some mighty
pageant.
At Posilipo stood the villa of Virgil,
greatest OF the Latin poets, and here to-
day is a vault where his remains are said
TO lie. 1t was at Posilipo that Virgil
wrote the Georges. those beautiful Latin
pastorals that picture all the seasons Of
the year as the poet studied them from
his country seat. Here after he had died
came many another poet and sage to put
flowers on his tomb.
This famous sepuicher is a low stone
vault with three windows. There formerly
stood within it a tall urn which was said
to contain the ashes of the poet, but this
has disappeared. and is said to have been
removed by King Robert the Wise to his
palace for safekeeping
! AT the very end of the headland stands
one of the most impressive relics of Ro-
| man luxury in all Italy. 1t is the ruin
of Pausilypum. the villa built by Vedius
| Polio, and bequeathed by him to Angus
tus Caesar. THE End of Sorrow Is the
meaning Of its name, which has become
! that of the entire headland.
Here remains of massive white
marble walls and pillars and foundations
reaching far out into the water. and from
these and from the numerous legends and
stories that cling about them one may
reconstruct the beauty and splendor and
license OF the life of decadent Rome He
may picture TIE great villa. sitting on the
point OF the headland, backed by dark
groves, with irs white feet in the break
Ing sea. He may reconstruct in fancy
the Odeon and the theater where the
lord and his guests were entertained the
