Mrs. Dewdney Clark Visits Florence the City of Dante . And the Martyr Savariarola THE tHFTED WRITER- GOES ON,TO OBERAMMAGAU TO WIT-NESS-TIjfc HISTORIC PASmON PI. AY EXACTED. CHARMING TRAVELOGS INCREASE IN INTEREST

Mrs. T. Dov/ilney Clark 'writes this week of her visit t<> Venice, the' land of canals, metliueval ru-, mance. chivalry, ailil-seinl-barbnrie splendor. , There was a day when the Doge of Venice was as important a per- • soo as the Caesars in ancient Rome, rogariletl by the more ignorant of populace with much the •same superstitious awe and fear. The palace of. the Doge with its magnificence and extravagance, was .ever a foment of political ins I trigue, Rebellion and corruption. "Pie martyred Savanurola stigmatized the Doge of Venice reign-, ing in his day, as a bestial voluptuary and the social atmosphere of this petty ruler's court as "the foul ttfiasma of rotting flesh, mingled with the vapors fit hell." \ l-'Wnce will |ive in the memorieipef men as long as the names sf the exiled poet Dante, and the martyred reformer Savanarola survive. Mrs. T. Dowdney Clark makes it very clear hbw very little Florence has advanced during the centuries interviening. Beneath the \ veneer of modernism, very much remains unchanged. As Hi her other- travelogs, Mrs. . Clark betrays her delightful sense . of humor. Her allusion , to the ( fondness of a certain religious de- | nomination for taking up a col- , lection, is a stroke of genius, all the more interesting because it can lie applied with equal truth to [ all sects ami communions.. Mrs. T."J)owdney Clark goes on , to Oberammagan to witness the performance of the historic Pas- i sion Play. 'We shall await the coming of : her letter describing the Play, and ( more particularly her impressions . of it, frith eagerness. ] Brussels. Belgium. : August 22, I <>22. , . Editor, Ocean City Sentinel: Since writing from Rome, I . have not had one opportunity to , write n letter, as we have been , traveling so fast and with so much , to see when not, and also one does , have to get some sleep that alto- , gethcr my time has lieen completely filled. After leaving Rome we went to J Florence, which is also called the "City of Flowers," as it is really J embowered in many itartlens. It , lies at the very heart "of the Tus- , can plain, and is surrounded on all , sides by a circle of fertile hills^J while the historic Amo flows ncafly through the center of it. From , remotest ages it has been the high road for commerce and intercourse , with the outer world, and is "also . one of the largest art centers in , Europe. We found many Americans at ; our hotel, in fact our fellow countryriten seem to be everywhere, and when I mentioned this fact to an Italian shop-keeper of Florence, : he said, "oh yes, your nation is a j nation of globe trotters, but we , Italians feel very grateful to you • for living up to your reputations." and as I looked at the money this deale rwas taking in just from , members of our own party, I could ' appreciate his sentiments. i We visited all the., principal places of interest, and also enjoyed the shopping in the quaint shops, built close together on one of the i numerous bridges. One night two ■ musician* stood 1 by the entran^pkior of the hotel, ! and gave u concert for us with a ' large crowd looking on, and of , course they took up a collection j which seemed very homey to me. being a Methodist you see, still J they took up three collections run- | inng true to the old saying, "if , much is good, more is better." The Italians are very good to their families, and also good to their animals. I notice ! particularly in what good condition the

s - horses and .donkeys were every -, where we went in Italy, and how i- easy the drivers were with them' c when it wjis hot. or there was a • hill to climb. The cats ami dogs c looked sleek ami comfortable also. - and I just like-l their sense of t appreciation and regai -i. ^ From Florence we traveled to Venice, arriving there after, a • , twelve hour ride at one-thirty in 1 , htc morning; but the method of ' ' our arrival wa.-'.-b restful and de- , lightful .that it repaid us for our . long journey with only a basket i-.lunch'for supper", and lack of" fresh . . drinking water- because they have j - hall none on any of the trains so ' far. and we are traveling only in 1 their best. ones. We rode in long ' I blade gondolas, baggage with u: for twenty-five minutes jurough I one little canal after aiinlheitYoiiig j under many bridges, with onekgon- • dolier standing with his nnAoar , rowing us to oar hotel. -Oh wow j 1 quiet and peaceful it was with Urn , moon looking down upon us, hiiiK, s only the gentle swish of the water . under our boat. It did indeed ' ( seem like some ethereal world-, ' thai we had just stepped inside. ( 1 How strange and yet beautiful ' , Venice seemed, with most of the , ; buildings resting apparently in the | water. We did not see a horse f cab or automobile while there; " seem to lie the principal way ' J of transportation. Venice is" in the middle of the { 1 al.goon, and extends over one hun- ' dred and five little islands, which . are connected by bridges and ca- . > nuls of communication, and it is * ' joined to the mainland by means ■ of a magnificent bridge. The next day we went sight-see- * [ and in the afternoon we -took 1 fine little steamer down to Lido. ' a most delightful summer resort with two fine hotels, directly fac- j • the Adriatic Sea, in which - some of us had a grand good time t for an hour, the water licihg just right in every resproh — Every 1 night we rode in the gondolas, and , ' one night we listeneiKJ to a fine 1 concert given by f if teem. Venetian ' women, who were in two gondolas , 1 which were fastened together in the middle of the Grand Canal. Many brightly colored lanterns' on the boats, added just the right 1 touch of color to the scene, and we ' guests in many other Iwats elus- ' tereil close and thoroughly enjoyed • the music. Every little while, a ' J man would take up a collection i 1 among us, and of course here I j M-fflt at home again. The history of Venice is very 1 interesting, but I hare not the 1 time to dwell upon it, only to speak - of the Clock Tower rebuilt in 1506, ' and again in the seventeenth cen1 tury. At the top of the tower sur- ■ rounded by an elegant balustrade, • there is a colossal bell on which , for five centuries, the two giganic > figures called "Moors," strike the . hours' and half hours, with their i immense hammers. We found ' crowds of people waiting like us i to see the hour struck. It was very interesting. Then we walked over the fam1 ous bridge, best known as the I "Bridge of Sighs," after inspect- , ing the prison, and as we walks. I in many of these damp, dark cellsand then up the steps and over this ' . In^lge, it did not require much - imagination to picture these poor j men prisoners, anil their agony of mind, because few indeed were they who having gone over, ever , | came back. As I went through I i many prisons here in Europe and saw-'some of the awful methods of torture used, and think of im- ' provements along these lines, all over the world today, 1 rejoice this world is growing better all the time, though there is still so much to be done. From Venice we went to Boxen, a beautiful mountain summer resort, formerly in Austria, but captured by the Italians in the world'
