Every visitor to Venice must buy corn from a rich peddler and feed the pigeons in front of St. Mark's Cathedral. Mr. Carpenter does his duty To drift through the canals of Venice is to know another side of life. Gondolas are hitched to posts in front of palaces and above dreamy eyed Venetian girls lean out on flower laden balconies ; "Taxi?" At your hotel door is the waiting gondola or Venetian taxi, the gondolier in his wide black hat, white coat and beaming smile.
