THC VENICE OF THE NORTH. A First View of Danzig, the Ftomantle City of Melancholy. A Baltic fog rolled in from the north ns my trnin rolled in from tho south, pays 'ffobert Haven Schauf fler, vriting of "Ifomanlic Ger many Danzig" in the Century, bringing nn ideal hour for the first impressions of a" city so full of northern melancholy, a city so far from the beaten track and so ro mantic as Danzig. Down a street full of gargoyles and strange stone platforms there loomed through.lhe mist a monstrous church, crowned with pinnacles and a huge, blunt tower. A gate that seemed like the facade of an Italian palace pierced by a triumphal arch opened on a street of fascinating old gables, and be yond them rose a rathaus with a most exquisite steeple. I passed be tween tall, slim palaces, through the arches of a water gate and came out by the river, to fill my lungs with a sudden draft of ozone and to realize that 1 was almost in the presence of the Baltic. Toward the sea swept an unbro ken line of romantic architecture, narrow, sharp gabled houses inter mingled with towered water gates, and, Jast or. all, 1 lie prolile of. the Krahn thor, or Crane gate, Dan zig's unique landmark its stories projecting one beyond another. On the island formed bv two arms of the Mbttlau the black and white of half timbered granaries started strongly out of the mist. The river bristled with romantic shipping, and as I walked along the quay I caught, between the gables, the glow of the lights of the Lange market flushing the fog into, a rosy cloud, the center of which was the steeple of the rathaus. It was as though beauty had been given an aureole. I turned a corner aud wandered along the shore of the island, past a deserted waterway and a strange, crumbling tower called the Milk can gate, then back again to the Green bridge. The darkness had thickened so that one could no longer distinguish the separate house fronts, but all the lamps along the shore had their soft auras of mist, and the surface of the wa ter was one delicate shimmer, with strong columns of light at regular intervals, among which the crimson lantern of a passing boat wrought amazing effects. Where had I known such an even ing before? As memory wandered idly about the harbor of Lubeck, the bridges of Nuremberg, the m er sides of Wurzburg and Breslau, I waB flashed in a trice to the "siren of sea cities," that "floating film upon the wonder fraught ocean of dreams," and it came to me with a glow of pleasure that this place had from or old been called "the Venice of the north." This, then, was my introduction to Danzig, and 1 never think of it without seeing streets full of high, narrow facades, melting one into another; gently curving streets, alive v.ith rich reliefs; babies of blurred worthies and inquisitive gargoyle-, the blunt, mighty Church of St". Mury looming above them like a mountain. I can never seo the nunio of Danzig without be holding n dusky waterway lined with mediaeval structures and strange juxtaposition a jewel of reforma tion art with its rosy aureole.

When the guests were cnted the hot bent his head and began speaking in a sub dued tone. "Eh, what's thnt?" de manded Blobbs who sat beside him and who is rather deaf. The host smiled patiently and begun again in a louder voice. "Speak a little louder1. 1 don't catch what you say." Blobbs per sisted. A low ripple of laughter went round the table. The host, his face crimson with embarrass ment, raised his voice still higher. The poor old man did hi best to hear, but failed. "Vhnt did you mi ':" he demand ed irassoiblv.
