From the moment I sink nmong" the sable-tasseiea cushions off-gentleman, the gondola, and this long, graceful boat glides from the marble steps Into ^he-calm--water8T)f thelagoon; I am as one enchanted. Thfe subtle charm of this exquisite Vehetten JiIgbJL com- pletely holds one. I turn toward the dark Adriatic to shut from my eyes for a moment the brilliancy 0f_ St, Mark's Square; â-  â€"- Looking again towards the Piazza I delight in the riot of color. It Is in. deed a fairy scene; the flaring red torches in the square (forItIsamies' tlve evening) mingle their glare with that from the thousands of electric a narrow canal into, which the moon light does not penetrate. All is still. The rhythmical dip of the oar and quiet ripple of thesxwater are distinct- ly audible; Now'tne*boat touches.the side of a building, and a hollow sound rings oat*ip break the silence. Now we pass beside a garden wall over which some fragrant vines ire hang- ing. A snatch of song comes echoing, and a«; quickly dies away. Another cry from, the gondolier^-and as we glide around another corner, "the end of the canal comes in-ViewT^There is an answering cry, and a slender black gondola glides mysterlous^ibefore us, Us graceful curves silhouetted against the sky; then swiftly and noiselessly it disappears into the shadows like a phantom. , ,, .'.,• -'. . On and on we go, slipping into shad- ows and coming again into the moon- light. The sounds of the night be- come fewer an til finally- when the sweet, Boleran chimes of the clock of St. Mark's come echoing across .the water, all 1$ alienee and a majestic calmness. As the gondola draws iip to the steps where I am to alight, I, look around oa the pure, gleaming marble about me, the lofty domes and stately palaces; a dreani city in its peaceful serenity, i fear to break the spell, add step quietly Into the doorway with a feeling of the most reverent awefoV the .beauty and majesty of this exqui- felter higfit. -----^tt Njpmi Pultqn, ;;;.: â- â- "} ';â- â-  W" •'••â- â-  'â- â- .â- ^Fourth Yearc'; -51C take' Ave., wilmette. ^ r-+- Dm bdhdi cm DiurnuDixm Hard to Realite.
