They tell many stories in Vienna to prove the fitness of Hans Makart's title, "The silent man." On one occasion a gentle man, after remaining two hours with him, was met outside the painters house by a friend of his, who asked him what they had talked about. "Oh," replied he, Eve were silent over pretty well everything the whole time p At dinner party at which Hans Makart was one of the guests, he was seated at the side of a pretty and live ly actress. The lady tired ali her arts t. bring out tue painter in conversation, but did not obtain word from him through out the repast, to the amusement of tn. other guests, who watched her fruitless endeavors. At dessert, somewhat plqupd by her ill-success, she looked at Makart and exclaimed aloud, Suppose we talk ol something else now ?''
