Just Among Ourselves


In days of old, kings had their retnues of nobly
named servants their councillors their ministers of
state, their equerries, and Queens had their
ladies in waiting, their gentlewomen, their pages.
The poor commoner lucky to have two good
hands to do his bidding, and lucky to be permitted
to keep his head in place.

not to be accepted as such by the adults

could never find anything to do, SO they
got restless and they began to get into

NEW ADDRESS

friendliness are the charm of
Rome.
The American movie is a
favorite habit of the Romans
and, like the movies illustrate,
every form of moving vehicle
is represented here. At first,
you think you have breathed
your last as scooters, bicycles,
carriages, cars and people
whiz past in what seems to be
utter chaos. However, such 60
ings-on are in the order of
things and after one learns to
close the eyes and walk a de-
termined path ESQ that the
hurtling vehicles can judge
your windage) it becomes as
natural as anything to escape
certain desth hundreds of
times day.
Custom is a wonderful thing
and the Italians are experts.
Cab fare after dark goes up
so percent while 10 per cent
is added to this and all other
bills before they are paid. Add
to this an extra 10 per cent
just for a smile and you will
have an idea of how custom"
works. But a dollar is worth
16O lire SO that a 5000 lire
banknote is worth only 8 dol
lars. When you digest this
fact, generosity just comes ma
tural.
Oh, we could go on and on
but we think we have given
you some of the high points
SO we will get packed for the
next jaunt up to Florence.
Goodbye, wonderful Rome and
thank you for all the fond
memories you have made pos
sible. You are the City Eternal
which a score of wars has been
unable to erase and we are
certain that when our child
ren's children and their child
ren's children arrive to play
their part in things, that you
will be there to give them the
same great thrill that you gave
us.
Hey Sam! We're leaving at
