ACCOUNT OF WAR Young Ladies From This City Could Not Sccvrc Accoraoda tions and Sipet in Streets Living In peaceful Anderson. it is rather hard tor local pecplo to gain any clear enticeinion of conditions now existing in tuV,foreign countries but a letter just received bi Anderson from Misses Florida'anil (Jone Harris, touring tho old country, gives n v..id account of the things they have under gone. One of ino mont striking fea tures ortho Btory coming to Anderson is tho fact that Miss Nell Harton and Miss Bessie Major, who are also in Europe, were forced to spend one en tire night on tho streets of Berlin. Thc young ladies vere slopping ut a well known hotel there, hut when the war broke out "they gave up their rooms and went to tho station, expect ing to get transportation homo. They j returned to their hotel, only lo find that it had been Ulled up and all other hotels In tho city were full to over flowing. Both thc young Indies had to | spend thc night on tho streets and when last heard from were still In Berlin. Thc following lotter from MIRS Floride Harri? will be very Interest ing to every ono living in Anderson county: Sorrento, Italy. Dear Horne Folks: Wc have had the time of our lives recently. This has been a lovely trip down hore-ta one of the prettiest person can take. . We went from Milan to VeniceV O?fc'uj'at view of Venice was in the rain, and disappointing. We took gondola* up 'to.our hotel and lt certainly was a novel experience. These tiny little canals winding in and out among these ancient old ? buildings, lt took us about 45 min utes to get to our hotel. Ono, to love Venice, has to certainly-see it by night tor in the day tttyejj^ia horrid! Those canals arc far from clean and you can see anything (louting around on the water from dead' cats,on up. Ail the Italian cition wo haye seen need a board of heulth^and h. general 'clean-up day. As'lt waa raining, we took a: walk up-to'St. Mark's square;' Wo took the man or our . pari y along as lt is not safe ev?n 'ln^ffa^ time for us to go Wt" alone;" There*- aro no horsoa here and few streets.' The latter are ' very.little over four feet wide, and not ' 'marked and I g??11ofi. several- times. I We saw BL ?erk's-?cfefi'rcli. art saber les and Doyes" palace-' the -prison un derneath it, and baw mtv "Bridge of Sighs," theJBell-Tower- .and lace fac tories and ; other* wonderful things to ur. Tho .-shops, wer'o the most fasci nating that;-, we haVQ.yet aeen. The bends here,were very beautiful and wc all .made some purchases for loved ones' ut home. We took' an leo at the famous Florian restaurant. ' The square of St. Mark's deserves al! jthat. we haye read of it. When we Stood in the plaza in front of the church . i add fed, tho hundreds and thousands of pigeons' that flocked all around us it was an Interest inp; sight. We took kodak pictures of each other with pigeons .. resting on ; our hoads, shoulders und arms. Thc, rain ceased and we 'finally went gondolaing that night tja the -grand o??.^ was ln ter?Btlhg to'lust float. 7?lbng and see tho cfuocr old.buildings brilliant lights retl ec tod . In .tlfe*'water; - "Wo passed floating barges with people singing in them and it was thrilling to be in Venice at night listening to the Ital ian music. Next- day wo- went out hy boat to Lido, one,, of Europe's most fashionable seaside resorts. 'It is on the Adriatic nea. .Opposite to us on tho other side was Tr?ente in Austria Hungary.' 'Wo enjoyed- bathing In 'thc sea very m Ooh though the baach ia Shallow, OOo .bad- to . wallt some dis tance In ahallow water bofore lt got deep enough to enjoy Jt. We passed twd dr ftnteU.'
