Of worldwide reputation very little has
been written OF Sir John outside OF Great
Britain. He is OF fine physique and would
be mistaken for a wealthy country gentle
man by a stranger meeting him IN the
streets Of London. His appearance does
not give any indication Of the possession
Of the ardent artistic temperament to which
his great success is mainly attributable.
So welded to bis art is Sir John, and 50
unwilling is he to slight his work in even
the slightest decree. that instead Of paint
ing a great many pictures each year ne
contents himself with doing only few,
although by this course he reduces his an
nual income by nearly SzOOOVO. Stlll he
manages TO live like prince from the
earnings Of his brush, as be never paints a
portrait for less than SO, OO0 and frequently
receives So, 900, and sometimes even more.
Sir Johns city house is a veritable palace,
with an entrance hall as grand and elao-
crate as that Of buckingham. HIS work
is done ia a vast tapestrled hall, which an
enthusiastic correspondent declares is
more like the reception room OF prince
than like studio" He is great ad-
,nirer Of America, and his aHectionate re-
card for the people Of the United States
amounts almost to a hobby. He paints
rapidly. and his patrons never have 70 en-
dure the tedium Of long sessions. 1t was
Mr.. Gladstones recommendation which
made Sir John Millais baronet. The
great artist often receives letters request
ing blank checks which are lnclosed 10 be
filed ont and pictures Of Scotch scenery
returned in their stead, bat he will never
lower his talent TO purely money making
purposes. and. as a consequence, these
commissions are invariably declined
but few Of the present generation"
saws a we'll informed writer, ARE aware
that the marriage Of Sir John Miilais was
contracted under circumstances almost
identical with that Of Richard Wagner and
Mime Cosima Won Bulow. Lady Millais.
who reioices in the name of Euphemia, was
formerly the wife Of John Ruskin, and at
the time when Millais was pupil in his
studio. Becoming aware OF the affection
which had sprung up between the fair Lu-
pbemia and young Millais, the illustrious
author Of The Stones Of Venice deter
mined. ike Hans Won Bulow, to make his
wife happy by surrendering her 70 his rival
in her affections. Accordingly he permit
ted her TO plead for an annulment Of
marriage in the Scotch courts. lie did
not contest the suit, which was necessarily
heard in camera, and the character Of
which will be understood when l mention
the fact that bis wife subsequently, mar
ried Millais, not under the name OF Mrs.
Ruskin, but as Miss Euphemia Gray
