Lyons velvets rank higher in America than those of Genoa.

Yet the bulk of Lyons velvets you buy in the States are made in Genoa and imported into Lyons, where they receive the Lyons stamp and are then exported to America.

You can buy enough velvet in Genoa for twenty-five dollars to make a five hundred dollar cloak in New York--so the ladies tell me.

Of course these things bring me back, by a natural and easy transition, to the ASCENT OF VESUVIUS--CONTINUED.
And thus the wonderful Blue Grotto is suggested to me.

It is situated on the Island of Capri, twenty-two miles from Naples.
