Phvaicians Plan For
District Meeting Here
Rome. Italy
Pear Father: My last letter
you was written in Pisa. Since then
we have spent most of our time
Florence and Rome.
I have always heard that Flore
is the ‘‘model city” and 1 m
nfess that when I first saw it
is a little disappointed. Thi
only from an external viewpoint
though. I have seen many cit
which 1 think surpass it. Nice, Wa
ngton, Los Angeles and Paris are
for.superior to it to my mind in thi,
respect.
In fact there is very little in Italy
bout the streets, the building!
the people to attract attention, but
soon as you enter one of the'
Idings tlie aesthetic charaetc
people begins to impress you
rrything is decorated in wonde
ful taste and well blending colors.
Especially beautiful are the picture
bn the walls, the frescoes and thi
ceilings. Usually the ceilings
painted just as if they were made
So while at first sight Florence
was disappointing, it gradually grips
you with its atmosphere with its
wonderful mass of paintings by the
great masters.
First nn«l foremost then** are-the
two splendid art galleries connect
ing, the Uffizi and the Pitti. I be
lieve these two galleries contest
the Vatican here in Rome and with
the Louvre in. Paris as to which
the worlds foremost gallery.
I enjoyed both of these more
than I did the Louvre. How I do
wish I knew more of history, sculp
ture, architecture and painting.
The Uffizi and Pitti •contain
many masterpieces if Rubens, L<
nardo do Vinci, Ruphael, Van Dyke
Rcmbrant and most all others of any
fame.
Likes Rau'iaei Best.
I believe the paintings by Rnphne
ire my favorites. The pictures I like
best are the two Mndonnas painted
by him—the Mudonnu del Granduca
xml Mudonnu Dcliu Sedia and a pic
turc by Elizabeth Le Hrun of her
u*lf, - this last named being the bcsl
to 'my mind. Another favorite
line is “The Age of Innocence,’* ir
he National Gallery in London.
In the Uffizi and the Pitti there
so many different paintings o
Virgin Adoring the Child,” the
“Magi Adoring the Child,” "The
Holy Family.” “The Child in the Ma
donna’s Ahns’' and “The Descent
From the Cross.” I think each of thr
great artists felt it his duty to paint
set of these.
Florence was the home of Michael
Angelo and he is buried there. Hi-
sculpture, especially the statue of
David and his representations of
Day, Night, Dawn and Twilight
lous. The one of “Night” is his
masterpiece and I felt very proud of
myself on entering the gallery to m
to it immediately as being my idee
of the best, though I did know it wa?
at the time. We were shown his atu-
io in Florence.
One of the most beautiful placci
raw in Florence was the “Chapel ol
the Princess,” which is in the Church
of San I.orenze. I don’t thpik it if
especially famous hut it appealed to
me. It is roumt about 100 feet ir
diameter with walls of every kind
of marble and the ceiling is covered
with exquisite paintings. It was used
by the Medici
We saw the old Monastery of Snn
Mario. Its pictures, cloisters and

An Amusing
g Incident.
. One of the boyfc traveling with us
(Jiggotts of Mississippi) had quite
an experience in Genoa the other
day. An Italian American saw an
Italian guide cheating and taking ad
vantage of Jiggetts and made him
stop. Jiggetta discharged the guide
but he persisted in following him for
the next two hours. Jiggqtts then
went to his Italian-American friend
and asked him to tell him the Ital
ian for “1*11 break your neck it I see
you again.” He then told it to the
guide in no uncertain language and
scared him so he called the poljce
and the wholo town turned out to
see Jiggetts arrested. But- as the po
lice couldn’t speak English and Jlg-
getts couldn't spoak Italian, they
couldn’t find out what it was all
about, they let him go.
My opinion on one thing has cer
tainly changed sinae I have been In
Italy. I did have some sympathy
for the Germans in paying tneir rep
aration debts but 1 really believe
there arc more German tourists in
