From the New York Observer.
While travelling in Spain some fifteen
years ago. the writer was entertained at
dinner in Jerez by an Englishman who was
the owner of a fine hunting estate on the
south coast of Spain. where he usually
srent the summer months. In the spring
D-and said that his mistress. the Empress
Elizabeth, understanding" that he proposed
spending the season in England. greatly
desired to rent his place.
MI D said he would not rent his
place to any one, but he would feel highly
--,- = "a. InaJssty would occupy II
for the summer.
When he returned with his family in the
autumn his wife received a note from the
Jerez on a certain day, and desired TO
breakfast with her. Her majesty expressed
her Indebtedness for a delightful summer.
and urged that she be allowed to make
some compensation for the place. but the
offer was gracefully refused. At length
the empress said:
rs there nothing I can do to show my
appreciation of your kindness and court
Well replied Mr.. D.. IF on your
majesty's return to Vienna you will send
me a small photograph with your auto
graph, / shall be pleased to possess it"
Several months passed without the ap-
pearance of the promised portrait. and
both Mr.. and Mrs. D rather unwillingly
arrived at the conclusion that the illustri-
GUS lady had entirely forgotten them and
her promise. when a few weeks later an
box arrived. containing a finely
framed. full lergth oil painting of the
impress, executed by the Austrian court
painter. among the first artists of Europe.
