—No more romantic places exist than the deserted cities of Italy. They aro to ho found all over tlio country, hut thiofly in the 5 March of Ancona and the old Grand Duchy of Tuscany. In these you see great marble palaces, to which a bit. of string does duty as a bell-pull, and if you enter you find a corner of somo grand salon, often with n ceiling by an illustrious artist, screened off for the inhabitants to live in. That inhabitant may he some Italian or English lady who has a vory small income, and she may get such a palace, where some Cardinal or Marehese formerly lived, for a few pounds a year.
