The white sauce to use in binding
croquettes should be thicker than the
ordinary white sauce. Use half cup

salt. four tablespoonfuls of butter and

Great Mosque Of Djaraboub. 1
One large mosque, an extraordinary

wrought-copper railing into the inside
OF which one gets through a door
adorned with silver plaques. An in

his ancestor. A passage behind the
chapel contains the tombs of women.
Near one Of the doors, under the ar

Torcello had lost its importance and
no longer could command the re-

It was, however, at this time that
the little church Of Santa Fosca re-
ceived the form which it still retains.
Originally It was small three aisled

Of each aisle. For what reason and
by whom the church was rebuilt in its
present octagonal, porticoed shape is
not recorded. Nothing Of the original
church remains except two of the lit

among other cities. The
folk OF Altinum took refuge on an is
land in the lagoon and founded Tor
cello. In the pressure of those miser-
able days, when the German invaders
almost succeeded in destroying the
civilization which Greece and Rome
had slowly built up during thousand
years of wise labor, the lagoon islands
became a place of retreat for various
harried peoples, who fed to them for
shelter, as in our days so many dis
tressed Belgians have fed to Holland
and England, writes Sir Martin
Conway in Country life. That
was how Venice and Malamocco
were called into being; but Torcello
was the first of these cities Of refuge.

chief city of the lagoons; the first
Doge whose name is remembered had
his seat of government there.
Venice, for all its antiquity, throbs
with contemporary life. To go from
