After the morning lectures I go
out to play tennis till 4 :30, slop an
hour for tea at the club house, have ,
another set of tennis and then go .
to the river, or have dinner and then
go to the river.
The river is the life. Instead oi i i
bleak, damp, rainy days, Oxford i ’j
just one mass of sunshine now. All ,
the trees are in their full coating oi | ,

are in their glory.
So late iivthe afternoon we go out ,
in a punt'/ It is a large fiat bottom j
boat, filled or rather lined with huge ,
cushions. There's plenty of room for
four and one man stands in the back
and pushes the boat along and it i.
certainly great to lounge around in ■
the cozy corners under the trees and
study and rest. ;
It stays light till after '.) o'clock,
so there's plenty of time fm punnting ,
after a -long game of tennis. It’s ,
almost like a dream here now. |

1 don't believe I have ever written
a description of last vacation experi
ences in Naples, Pompeii and Venice
I think my last letter on thi. trip
was from Rome.
tii ni there we went to Naples. Al!
of South Italy, that i . below Rome
is thi mot aw. ul couni ry. Ihep o
pie are ,'i : n disagreeabl- They ar,
dirty and noisy and they seem tc
think tourists, especially Americans
arc made of money and e.cry Neo
politan think: up some excuse fol
gouging his part, out of each pool
traveler. And bargaining, my good
ness, everyone in South Italy always
asks just about twice as much as
they expect and if you can’t cut the
original price in half, you feel that
you are being cheated. They just
bleed you for money, beg, lie, steal,
anything just lo get a few lire. They
sing all night long and if they can’t
sing they find some other way to
make a noise. Naples at 1 a. m.
sound.' like Five Points at noon. Re
mind? me of Spain a little in that re
spect.
Immigrants Lowest Type.
The thing that makes me mad
though, is the fact that all the Ital
ian immigrants we get at home come
from Southern Italy and are the low
est type Italians. The Italians
around Venice, Florence and Milan
are pretty decent people. From now
on I'm certainly against immigration,
especially from Southern Italy.
There is not much to see in Naples
but Vesuvius, Pompeii and Capri
were well worth the cost of the trip.
We left our hotel one morning to
t ee Pompeii and Vesuvius and on the
way to the station a Neopolitan guide
got hold of us. That man followed
us, urged, pleaded and bargained lor
an hour and after we had cussed and
discussed him all that time we just
had to atop and laugh. Talk about
persistence, one of these guides takes
the cake. However, he cut his origi
nal price in half and finally showed
us a letter of recommendation from
one of his former patrons and who
should it be but my good old Oxford
chum, Tong, from Arizona, so there
was nothing for us to do but hire him.
We rode on a train for an hour to
Pompeii. It was so interesting and
is quite different from the other Ro
man ruins in that it is very well pre
served. You can see how the people
lived and just what was there. The
streets have not changed a bit. They
are very narrow, about two feet be
low the level of the side walks or
door steps. The streets drained the
city so the water would evidently
be about a foot deep. Every few
yards are huge stepping stones in the
middle of the street. Wine must
have flowed like water there for
nearly every other shop was a wine
shop. The houses are well preserved
and are built on the pateo style. The
paintings on the walls are remarkably
well preserved, some being very good
We saw eggs, coffee and bread which
were found buried in the lava. Then
were petrified human bodies. The
faces are all pictures of horror and
fear. One of a dog was interesting.
These things are not faked, either.
Public Ruins.
We saw the old temple, the public
baths, the theater and all the reg
ul'ar institutions of the city. An in
teresting thing to me. was the fact
that the sea used to come up to
Pompeii but all the excavation has
been dumped into the sea with the
result that the sea has been pushed
back two miles.
We caught a train about 2 t». m.
from Pompeii to the foot of Vesuvius.
Our guide turned us over to a thug
and four sorry nags and started up
the mountain, it is absolutely bare
and is covered from top to bottom
with layer after layer of lava with
deep gullies running down to the
valleys below. The view of the bay
from Vesuvius is wonderful with the
very blue water entirely surrounded
by mountains which enclose the flat
little plane on which Pompeii and
Nanles rest.
The mountain has a steep but reg
ular slope and the top instead of
going to a point seems to have been
sliced off, leaving a huge hollow cir
cular tube at the top and you can
look down f’cm its rim for about
200 yards. This is the crater of the
volcano and is just a sea of soft lava

Takes in Capri.
11' The next <i;iy W“ took in Capri. It
.’, ,s a two hour trip by boat and is
>• just .. beautiful little island in the
<■ bay of Naples. It rained ail day
o, though and we didn’t have a very
s, good day for, sight seeing. The Blue
>- Grotto is at one end of the island
r'and is very interesting. The coloring
i is marvelous and the entrance into
I- the Grotto is worlds of fun. It is a
s, very small entrance which varies
s' from one to two feet above the water
e according to the tide. We had to lay
t down in the bottom of a row boat,
t The oarsman gave the boat a shove
I and it smashed and banged against
y the top and side until the tile final
t ly washes it in-ide. The water and
o walls and everything takes on a tint
i. if bine that bluing gives water. It
■■ was a clear as crystal and everything
I underneath is a bright silvery hue.
This trip was a good example of
the method of the natives in South
d ern Italy of holding up the tourists.
- We paid to go cm a boat to Capri,
e ' On arrival we were informed we must
- pay to go on to the Blue Grotto,
s At file Blue Grotto, we iad to pay
ii to be rowed from the shin to the
v Grotto. Inside we were made to pay

'i mad enough to boil, but you can’t
>■ help yourself. They have it all fix
>' ed and - baited. Robin Hood. Jesse
eiJame; or the forty thieves, had noth
<’ ing on these people in South Italy.
The Train Systems.
r The train system in different coun
d tries interests me and I believe will
t be of interest to vou. Bv train I
t mean i the third class system. In
3 France, the people and the trains
■ are excellent. In Spain the people
d: arc- awful but the trains accommo
ii date the crowd. But in Italy every
o iri’d class seat is taken five minutes
d after the train is made up which is
e exactly an hour before it is sched
i. u’ed to leave. I shall never miss
o another train. We stood up for three
d trips end then began to get there an
- bow or mere before the leaving time.
Tim altitude of a ear of people fill
e o,| to th-oo times its capacity is cer
eltainly funny. We open the door and
y they see us and all our bags and we
'- get a blank stare to tell us we are
r, not wanted. But once we show our
e ' determination to come in any way,
y the entire attitude changes and ev
crybcdy helps us with our bags,
e! crowd themselves a little more to
t give us standing room and we soon
r become a part of the amiable crowd,
e They are great travelers.
d There is certainly one thing that
e should draw all Italy close together,
v ’i",;.; i s the flea nuisance. It is uni
i, -crsal in Italy and impossible to
hi avoid unless you happen to be flea
e! proof. Some people are and some
e! are not. Jones and I are, while
d I Hamilton and Hermot are just eaten
b up by the pests. It is quite a pop
'■ ular subject among tourists to ask:
“How did you like Rome?”
c “Fine, how are you standing the
: fleas?”
We fared pretty well in Italy. But
t ter is a luxury.
o. But to get on with our trip. We
s came back through Rome, stopped
e there a day, then to Florence again
d for a day and then to Venice.
Venice is divided into two distinct
i. sections. One comprises the Piazza
’■ i of St. Mark’s which you see in all
g i the pictures and the length of the
P 1 Grand Canal. The other is the part
e|of the city in the rear of the Grand
n , Canal in the interior of the island
h ' which is composed of dirty houses,
c I but mostly of canals.
V Canals Everywhere.
e ! I think it must be the most unique
d city in the world. There are canals
t ; everywhere. Os course you know
tl | the streets are just about all canals.
i The city is made up of 117 islands,
150 canals and 378 bridges. While
f running around England, France,
u j Spain and Italy I’ve seen a few places
-1 which were rather confusing to a
ti! man for his first hour on trying to
t get located, but they all take a back
c seat to Venice. Jones and I started
i out from the station to find Piazza
. of St. Mark’s and instead of follow
. ing the round about way of the Grand
i Canal, we struck out directly across
j the citv. It took us two hours and
: a half to get there. Every other al
! Icy (the streets which are not canals
are just little alley ways) led into
■ a canal and every other one led into
ian alley that led into a canal. The
-1 labyrinth makers should study Ven-
■ ice.
So until we located a hotel and be
’, gan to see the real Venice of beau
' ' ly, we wer quite disgusted with the
' i place.
Sees Miss Kclman.
Marjory Kolman was in Venice
' traveling with her school. We found
her at tier hotel which was located
right on the Grand Canal, where it
, runs into the bay and never in all
my life have 1 seen a more fascinat
ing, beautiful and charming scene
’ than we experienced that night,
f The canal is 75 yards wide and
-' from the hotel we could see all the
j lights of Venice reflected on the wat
er. Out in the harbor was a monster
, dreadnaught, proudly reflecting its
I American outline. The only noise
’ ■ which disiurbcd the night was the lap
ping of the waters against the sides
of the gondolas silently and slowly
slipping past as we heard way down
tiie canal the sounds of a Venetian
" I serenade—a party of Venetians,
■ i drifting along in a gondola amusing
' thimsclvcs with two violins, an ac
’ I cordian and a mandolin. Above all
- this was the Venetian stars and moon
t in all their glory. That’s the place!
-for poets. All Marjory’s friends
r came out and we listened to the :
music for about an hour. It was a
wonderful evening which I shall nev-
; i er forget.
The Piazza at St. Mark’s is just
~ ' a huge square surrounded by a con-
- ■ tinuous building of uniform height
and Venetian architecture on three
II siiles and . a beautiful church on the
_ | other. The (inter of the square is
simply alive with pigeons. They are
so tame they eat out of your hand.
It was a lot of fun feeding them.
e The shops of Venice are even more
I fascinating than thosj in Florence

have dark, black hair, wear heavy;

eryone of them is dressed exactly'
alike. There is nothing wonderful
about the Rialto or the Bridge of I
Sighs which you always see repre-!
‘enting Venice.
I saw mere Germans in Venice!
than in any other city of niy travels. I
I suppose it is because it is so near)
to Germany. I counted 25 of them )
at one restaurant table. I saw an
other funny thing on a hotel regis-!
ter there. Some one had gone
through the book and drawn a little
German pig by the side of each Gel
man name.
So though we disliked Venice at
fir- 1 , we left there in love with it.
