ThFat-day. we walIked through the central part of the city following a map, verifying directions at each cor- ner and-nubbing elbows with the 'build- ings that. unie 'the narrow ways. in Amsterdam. we tbought we had seen ail the cats there were,, but their multipiied descendants must have.corne té Venice, judging by thein numbers. Scarcely a doorway or, iron-barred, window did we ýpass ýthat. did not shelter, a wild-eyed.cat of one v ariety. or another. Venice is, known as the city without streets, where the taxi$ are 'gondolas and where ail the world comès to visit the. Piazzo %San Marco. I would ýsay that Venice is, rather, a city of narrow streets fill.ed wit-h sîig-, ing people and prowling cats, a icity té which ail the world should corne 'to' get lost, as it is a better. place for that tiian any other we have visited. There are practically no vistas, and the best way to reach a giv'en spot is to f ollow the sun and trust to luck. We did that one aftennoon" with surprising suc- cess. A hundred church belîs sound the hours and cail the people to wor- ship, but thene is a delightful frecdomn f rom auto hornis, and the occasional itoots of the vaporettos or steamboat1 street cars are flot disturbing. ,Enjoy "Ice Creain", One of our pleasures in Venice was .fQund ini visits to the 'gelati places,i where they serve the, Italian -counter- part .of our ice cream. It is haîf way i between. ice creani and ice, and can be .1 Veny. tasty. It was still too early in 't :he yean for mach sidewalk "gelat-ing" t but it can be enjoyed even in an over-c coat. The Italian governnient, bélieves In i :he constiuer tax, and many things t carry a direct tax surcharge. Adver- e tising bills may not be posted unless a hey have the tax stamp pasted 'on y them. Restaurant buis are subject to asiniilar change, and a' simple hotel. cèelebration was a wonder'to beholci. 1 have never seew- such a variety o)f colorful unifortns, respiendent with medals, plumes and silk-lined. capes. Most Italian officiais wear capes which they, wrap, closely about their shoulders so that the general impression you*get is of a ;Robin Hood bat, a bell shaped cape and two feet movin g along be- low it. So many. of the Venetians- men, women and children-marched ini this parade that f ew we.re lef t to watch,.. That was where the tourists helped out, by. keeping the marchers f romn feeling hurt f or lack of- audience. Just before *we left Municli we saw a big demonstration with much march- ing and marshall'ing of crowds. Coin- pared with the'.German prec ision and order this parade in Venice was a riot. Some of the men carried their littie boys on their backs,, many marched with no' uniform, at ail except for a, 4Si". card, corresponding, to * the Ger- man "Ja" button, pinned:.to their lapel.' and ail of them marched with- very litti. regard for principles. of drill. But ail showed a most contagiotis enthusi- asmi and apparent pleasure in what they were doing. Meet Home Folk, It was, this scene which greeted the visitors to Venice on March, 23-a real, show. 'Among those who, came ashore: fromn a Mediterraiiean cruise ship were, Mr. and Mrs. L. Philip D'enoyer- of Keniiworth. We had; hoped to: meet Ithem there that day but were a ýlittle doubt fui about finding them ini the mob that filled the square. After a wbile we spotted them. on the balcony of :he Doges palace where they had a good seat for the parade, but they came lown to sec us anyway and we had a. .Most de.jight fui visit then' and later bhat evening. We 'were mighty glad o get some F.ews of home, that hadn't orne through a"Paris reprint.. Mr. and Mrs. Denoyer had some fascinat- ingexperiences to tell-of' their visit to Egypt and 'the Hioly land. They expect to, get home in two weeks, prob- bly about the time this letter reaches. ydu.
