WILLIAM II AND NINE. PARLAeHL

Something About the Woman Artist and
the Emperor's Fondness For Her.
Nine. Wilma Parlaghi, who was re-
ferred to in one of the Paris newspapers
as a friend Of NJ. Rosenthal (Jacques
St. Cere), The Figaro editor recently
arrested in the Lebaudy case i'll Paris
is portrait painter in Berlin. She is
Hungarian by birth, small, well formed
still young aud very good look ng.
Although Nine Parlaghi is not
favorite with her artistic colleagues IL
Berlin, she has painted the portraits OF
famous persons, such as Moltke, Louis
Kossuth, Windthorst, the former leader
of the center Of the reichstag, and EN-
peror William II. The emperor eX
messed himself as satisfied with the
picture.
Nine. Parlaghi is in the habit OF
complaining of tho jealousy Of her col
leagues in art. To this jealousy, she
said, was due the refusal 10 admit the
portrait of Moltke to an art exhibition
in Berlin, although Moltke is alleged to
have declared the portrait to be the
hest picture of him ever done. She com
planned to Emperor William II, who
was gallant enough to buy the picture
He thus put himself in conflict with
the Jury of artists and provoked endless
discussion in the German press. By his
order the portrait was placed in the
grand hall of the exhibition. William
II openly censured the decision of the
jury in language rather disrespectful TO
the artists, and added that in the grand
hall of honor, but for the portrait Of
Moltke, there would not be single
work of real art The journals of Berlin
made fun Of this opinion guardedly.
both in prose and in poetry.
Nine Parlaghi became celebrated
after receiving these evidences of i'm
perial favor. A merchant i'll Cologne
asked her for portrait of Bismarck,
who, he said, was his personal friend.
She wrote a letter to the ex-chancellor,
announcing her arrival i'll Friedrichs-
rub, but the letter was not opened, and
she and her husband returned to the
railroad station to take the train for
Hamburg. But Bismarck, who was out
riding met the couple and invited them
to remain. He went to the kitchen and
gave orders to increase the dinner bill,
as the princess was at Hamburg.
Nine. Parlaghi gained her point and
few days afterward she began the por'
trait, for which she needed only two sit.
tings. After the first sitting, on Jan. /,
1898, Bismarck invited her to dinner
A few days later, while the prince was
posing for the second time, he spoke
thus of the Moltke incident:
"When a man raises himself above
the level of average intelligence. he ex
cites envy, but when woman has tt
struggle with men, they treat her rough
ly."
Nine Parlaghi gave drawing lesson
to the Empress of Russia when tho EN-
press was only Princess Alix of Hesse

"In order to avoid delay, I brought the

She drew from her purse two big
