E. Venice is the home of the Venetian, and also where the gondola has its nest and rears its young. It is also head- quarters for the paint known as Ve- netian red. They use it in painting the town on festive occasions. This. is the town where the Merchant of Venice used to do business, and the home of Shylock, a broker, who sheared the Venetian lamb at the cor- ner of the Rialto and the Grand Canal.

The Italians are quite proud of their smoky old paintings. I have often thought that if Venice would run less to art and more to soap she would be more apt to win my respect. Art is all right to a certain extent, but it can be run in the ground, It breaks my heart to know how lavish nature has been with water here, and yet how the Venetians scorn to investigate its bene- fits.
