The most conspicuous of these is the Pincio and its surroundings, a veri- table rus.in urbe. Here nature has ably seconded human skill. The al- titude of the gardens and the mag- nificent view they afford makethem unequaled by any other public park. True their area is small, but what of that? It brings its. visitors all the more in touch with one another, and this is the secret of its charm . the Romans, whatever may be attraction for strangers, for, let é e truth be told, the Pincio is the great flirting ground of Rome. — Nor |. should this horrify the reader, _ It is intended en tout bien tdut hon- neur. It is probabl ‘hat the Pincio sees the inception of \half the marriages in Rome. Itis a urious sociological | fact, but the explanation of it is simple. It has been commented up- on by numberless writers that, Ital- ians are exclusive, though not in the usually accepted sense’ of the w ord, They are proverbially open and friendly, especially tostrangers, the their land they appreciate, but this cordiality, even to their own coun- trymen, has its limit. try more than in Italy is a man’s home his eastle, and, except in the highest: circles and where there is no poverty to be concealed, he is chary of his hospitality.

Near Biarritz—happy, Biaryitz—stands the lone, yew em- bordered convent of thesilent.wom- en, the scours silencieuses. Here, not far from the -sounding waters of thé bay of Biscay, 5? la- dies of birth and breeding have seen fit to immure themselves in what is nothing less than a living tomb. Woman’s tongue has, justly or un- justiy, been a centuried byword, yet} the scburs silenciéuses voluntarily resign their right to speak and sen- tence themselves for the rest of] their natural lives to absolute, un broken silénee. | that for-men at La Trappe, was founded many years ago by a lady “of the French court who, in com. pany with some fri ends, sought this solitude and gave her | life. to Gad. | ~Who she was, her vet 3 identity, i in dis} pute’ Indeed it was her own wish that the authorities of the Catholic church should preserve her. name a secret, and all the women who have. followed her into seclu- sion here have likewise endeavored to sink their identity. *\ league from Biarritz, in the di- rection of the Pyrenees, one turns aside from the direct road and en- ters a narrow ravine stretching, to- ward Mauleon. Through woods of} beech and wild olive an ill kept, deeply rutted lane leads to a high walled inclosure. Over the walls there is a glimpse of yew trees, and if the visitor be a man that is all he can/see of the silent sisters’ home. Even women travelers are rarely admitted past the heavy wooden gates, with their lunettes for lay sisters to peer through. The convent walk is laid out in °llong,. straight walks, planted on each side by yew trees. Each nun has‘a walk to herself, It is allotted her when she enters, and’ she paces it until her death. Up and down the walk she goes, with silent tread, never raising her eyes, save in prayer, aud never exchanging a syl- lable with mortal being. “brilliant The convent, which is modeled on| # A i f r Bost in use The outfit ot no business man is | -oompleta without ONG... ee * tl ae Reflector Book Store fs Q heels nice eseaptiiont ot these Fountain also a fan ae St oph Handle Gold Pay u will be astonished when you see earn how very cheap thev are. isi and You may never, But should you ever}@=sr<=- Want Job Prine — Come to see ‘Us, — BAe * i % Arecent visitor to the convent | thus describes what she saw: “The lay sister who. 1 ay sisters do all the household and garden work talk) would not allow us to ap- proash near enough to the’ nuns te | get even a glimpse of their down. | cast_faces..
