With my field glass I scanned the people on shore to see if 1 could recognize her, I saw a lady with a boy that favored my sister, as far as I could recollect, so I waved at her, she replied as if she recog nized me too, vve threw kisses at each other. I called my girls to point her out. When the lady saw this she somewhat seemed set back. Later on I found out that this same lady had been looking for a husband and mis took me at the distance for him. My sister however had waited at the exit gate and we recog nized each other immediate y. I was overjoyed at seeing my nephew, the son of my most be loved sister, which, I cm grieved to say, had died but recently and which the only son of hers was there for a visit, and which I had never met before. He resem bled my dear departed sister verv much and instantly he had my full affection also. My dear sister showed us the city of Na ples. Her husband having been recently wounded could not be present, neither her boys due to :he distance, however, the few hours we spent together will be always in my memory.

At one place as we passed, one saw long mac- caronis drying in the sun, at the next place was a cow stable and the flies were equally divided. Beggars in the streets were showing their deformities in order to receive alms. Every once in a while, some woman let a basket from an upper room down a string and shouted to a passing peddler what she wanted. In the basket was the money for lit. Donkey drawn carts, with men in them as bid as the don key himself were often encoun tered. Occasionally a honking automobile picked its way through the crowded streets, Maccaroni hot from the kettle was peddled on the streets, served on a piece of paper or fig leaf and eaten with fingers, the purchasers taking the long rr.ac- caronies and lifting them high up in the air and sucking them in the mouth. Fine and delicious fruit was sold on fig or wine leave3 t for very little money, but we soon had enough of seeing the sights so we went to a gcoa restaurant and hsd a deliciously cooked dinner, but no macaroni.
