WILMETTE LIFE May 24. 1929 death would be from hunger, freezing or bandetti. None materialized, however, we arrived safely at our charming pension and within a day had been taken in and made to feel completely at home by the remarkabJy interesting and cosmopolitan group of writers, sculptures and painters who lived here. Behind these old unrevealing walls are some of the most fascinating houses one could ever imqgine. Old convents which have been taken and fitted up with interesting things from all over the world, and beautiful centuries old palaces. One of the loveliest of these belongs to "Charlie Sugar" we call him, actually "Don Carlo Sucro" one of whose ancestors gained land and title by being able at a critical time to supply sugar to the king. Everyone tells us the legends and tales of Taormina, how on Christmas Eve the shepherds came piping down from the hills going from church to church searching for the Christ Child. They tell how last year during Etna's eruption the inhabitants of the neighboring town which was destroyed got out their patron saint and held him up before the lava stream. His hand was raised but the lava, all unheeding. came on. They retrejlted a little but ~till held the saint before the burnmg stream.

S. M. Sayner, Proprietora Sayner, Wisconsin makes you catch your breath to think how nearly you di~n't ! . Getting to Sicily after Africa was in itself thrilling. After being in a "heathen" land coming back to one which has with you the common background of Christianity, is like coming out of the wind and weather to the shelter of a large friendly umbrella. We landed in Palermo and after a' day in that interesting town left by private motor for a wonderful trip across the island around the base of Mt. Etna to Taormina. lt was a perfect day and amidst "oh's" and "ah's" of our own delight at the painted carts, the snowy mountains, the sea, we wended our way up into the mountains thru villages literally piled building on building up to the crest of hills, thru crowds of marvelling natives who we could well believe fell . down and worshipped the first motor-car they ever saw, and then ar·o se and tore it into bits. \Ve stopped to buy water and the en tire village knocked off work for the day. \Ve think they closed the schools but mavbe they were closed anyway.
