one day there were thousands of inert leaving uext day for other countries now it u four o clock and in oux search for a hotel we came across the shipping office of the home line and since our purposemor vuiing here was to see about our passage horne we were glad we had found it we had taken passage home on the queen kredencka of naples but dis covered our cabin on the return trip wu not nearly so nice as the on w had on the homeric going over to our satisfaction we found that there were only two cabins left on the liom cue and onr wai a1q7 which wa the one we had coming over so the tnly difference ts that instead of sailing from naples we have to go all the way back to 1e havre by train ve told the agent at the home lines our troubles in not netting a hotel and he kindly phoned for reservations tor us to a very good place city hotel so here we are today we went on a sight seeing tour in one part of the city it a very btautiful crtmlery it is divided ino 3 parts catholic proltstant and a place for the poor i never saw so much pur while marble graves are very close together and on every iravi were lowin outside the galea re stalls all along the way wht re those visiting may purchase flower and candlta t tc then thire u a large building somt thing like i prv rm nadi tin re art graves under foot evtry inch of the way and huge raonu menu with ihur backs to the

life to pay for that monument her husband was a dnn ki r so ihr refused to have him bur led with htr sayint she wanted to be alone it is beautifully portraed with tht shawl around her shouldirs then our guide lold us she had it made and paid for during her life but only lived in months after it was paid for another historic spot was ihe home of christopher columbus the home he lived in la still preserved all rov ered with ivy and weeds it stands riaht in the middle of the city then wc were taken to enoa a highest sky scraper 32 or 35 stories hikh it is the tallest in all italy our kuidc was sur prised to learn the havi one in nrw york 102 stones hikh at the top is a restaurant complete with orchestra here ve sat for a drink and looked out over the city i forgot to tell you that at that ceme tery they have family homes for ihe dead that is only for the rich r rom the cemetery you can see them all up the hillside they look tike small churches with spires just like a church nest we were taken to the cathed ral over the entrance hung two ra ther faded red curtains which w pushed aside to enter our guide took us to one place after another where altars had been set up some with candles burning however 1 was struck once again with the em ptiness of the nave of the church onl a few chairs or benches before one of the many altars then to my sur prise i heard a bell and a procession of about five or six priests entered from a sldr door they paid no atten hon to the sightseer but started their service at the rear of the chanctl tomorrow we go for a tour of the riviera

rair the park looked so pretty with the maples turning crimson and gold they made colourful backdrop for one of the highlights tn the life of our small town or our notaotraall town now according to the latest ce sua figures the sun beat down with a welcome warmth aa we waited in the crisp october air or the kid tut to gft on aod off the rides on the midway and after a walk up the sha ded path to the grandstand we were glad to be lisrk in the s unfit midway- section again and grateful too for the warmth of the hshibil hall v learning from experience howdif firult it is to appreciate the hall ex hibiu on lair day when the excite mcnl of the merry goround and he trtats beckon the children we wi nt out on iriday nikht to have a really kuod took and it wk well worth while f i dont think the

antiques of half a century ao iookink st the elaborate cinnamon coloured coat black ostrich boa an 1 high button shoes i thought the title of the display very aptly chosen per haps 50 years hence iho our achiivt menta won t look so chic either the school sections were excel lent too it seemed to me there wia a larger variety of collections than uvial the paper serviette collection was something a little different nlio collections of tiny match boxes bottle caps and shells and it roe almost without a ing how delectable the domestic set encc entries looked along with ev eryone else i think the big entry of pics made by ihe little boys appealed to us in more ways than one they certainly looked good the little klrls entered a lot of delicious looking fudge too talking alout plei however re

news item which sppeared in the herald a parcel arrived for mr and mrs snelgrove in the mail which when opened proved to be a nice set of lin en sheet and pillow slips from dominion textiles ltd montreal a little note with the gift congratulated the snelgrove who are eel bsting their soth wedding anniversary this year apparently someone connected with the firm had noticed a newt item in the

gesture they are sending gifts of linen to cotiplrs who are celebrating their soth wed ding anniversary 9 enjoyed a dftlvb to see the leave on the weekend uut do you know that some of the p ret tin t and most vivid maples arc right hwe in town ltade me all the more wishful that some public spirited groutfs get together in the various nrwsubdivuions as friend editor has already suggested to plant and care for trees along the boulevards and just as a purely personal opinion i think our hard maples arc pretty hard to brat after discussing such lofty topics it serins too had to end the column on
